Elephant Hill is no joke. Nice driving!

I know that Eric Badger drove through there with his SMB, including the squeeze. A tight fit.

I was enjoying a little piece of heaven tonight, thanks to you!

We did not do all of Elephant Hill. We were running out of time and had to head back the way we came in (about 30 miles of dirt) to get back to camp before dark. Glad you liked the Cooper's brisket.

That was a memorable day... Perhaps it could have been a bit less memorable if I had stopped and thought a bit before charging in.

But we got through, no notable scratches, and just a couple hours for those hundred feet...

NICE ! What trailer hitch set up are you using for your Moto? And what does your moto weigh?

Thanks

Coopers BBQ is the best there is. My house in San Antonio is just a few miles from the NB location. It is always on my must visit places when I am in Texas.

Bike is an XR250 with large tank, probably about 275lbs+- full. The carrier is a Moto-Tote mounted in a class 4 receiver. To counteract swaying the carrier has straps up to shackle mounts on the bumper about 1-2' in from each end.

It did take away from our departure angle, and is the part of the rig we ********** into the ground far more than any other. Fortunately it is durable and large bends can be addressed with a large hammer.
