At a glance it looks like mineral creek. Sometimes it gets lumped in with engineer pass depending on the source.

There are quite a few, but I think I mentioned Poison Spider Mesa. I haven't seen it in 18 years.

It's a paved road all the way to the trailhead. I have confidence you can make it. We'll just pretend Potato Salad Hill isn't there taunting you.

There are a number of other great trails out there too if you want more of a challenge.

Shotgun?

We really appreciate you leading this again, @Aeroscout.

Thanks much for spearheading this!

I updated the event details to show the event is full with a standby list.

Yup, often at the gas station.

Nice! Did you get turned around leaving Silverton? If so, that is easy to do. You're not the first!

One of the most popular areas is Ouray/Silverton/Telluride. That's probably where I'd recommend if you're driving all the way from MN. You could do the following 4WD roads/trails: Engineer Pass Cinnamon Pass Imogene Pass Black Bear Pass Ophir Pass California Gulch Hurricane Pass Corkscrew...

It depends when and where. CO has an active group and might be able to work with you. Member reps @trail_runn4r, @Iridium, @OpenlanderZ What's your destination?

I can certainly understand your position. I know of more than one that has abandoned it in the mid-west or earlier out of boredom. Let me know if you need anything.

Are you confident Kevin's track is all passable by truck? I can't speak on his specifically, but some I've seen had significant single track areas. This was in Colorado that I noticed it, however. You're doing BDR. What sort of a group are you doing BDR with?

85 octane at elevation works better for me than 87 at sea level. I remember the last time I drove to Alabama my truck started pinging again. I was startled because I hadn't heard it in years. My point is not to be afraid of the 85 octane out west.

CPW office in Salida is right on the route.

After spending the weekend in the SOR TAT vicinity, I'm reminded of a few attractions in the immediate area that may be found interesting: Mount Princeton Hot Springs: (the route literally bisects this place) https://mtprinceton.com/swim/ Whitewater Rafting (one example): (probably a small...
