Neil is this a all day ride or a weekend trip? When the best time for a ride.

We like to make a weekend out of it. We usually camp at the beginning of the trail on Friday night. Then ride to Buck Island Lake (about 1/2 to 2/3 in) and set up camp on Saturday morning. Then go out toward Cadillac hill for the afternoon. Then Sunday morning we back back to the staging area. If you don't want to camp on Friday night, you could get to the the staging area on Saturday morning.

I agree, especially if you have a group that’s never been there.

Having a couple experienced drivers helps. A group of about 6 to 8 would be good. We had about 10 one time. It wasn't too bad, just a little slower.

Yes. I once lead a group of 17 4x4's through and luckily had a couple other veterans with me so we broke it into 3 groups to make it more manageable. We usually end up with about six in our annual "jeep" run which is enjoyable and manageable. I mentioned the sxs run to Ben (airbus99) and it sounds like he would like to be included.

I just checked various calendars to determine which weekends may be less congested, and also tried to check out the UTVCrazy calendar to see if I could avoid stepping on any other planned events. The first part of June can be too soon, many years, the TLCA rubithon run is the last weekend, July is taken by The Dirty Dozen event, along with Jeepers Jamboree, along with the first two weekends in August by Jeepers Jamboree, and Jamboree USA and members are also in Winchester Bay for Dunefest. This leaves the remaining last two weekends in August, 18/19 and 25/26. It is extremely busy during Labor Day, and Marlin Crawler Roundup 15th/16th, followed by another Dirty Dozen run on 22nd/23rd, leaving September 8th/9th as the only "slow" weekend in September. My recommendation for best weather, warmest Buck Island swim and least congestion is one of the two August weekends, 18th/19th or 25th/26th. Any preferences?
