Not true .  
 
There is a work day scheduled for Saturday the 27th to reopen the trail . Meet at 12 Mile Campground at 9:am . This project is being sponsored by Castle Country OHV Association . I will be there , lets get as many there as possible . This is a great trail and I can't imagine losing it because we couldn't get enough help together .

Thanks for that nugget of information Glenn. I was going to go down on the 20th but I'm going to try and reschedule to help with this service project. Maybe I'll throw a tent in and stay the night, then I can goof off on Sunday. And it's the 12 mile flats campground that's where they are meeting at?

1 of my favorite trails in Utah..was just looking at some pics of it the other day,and was planning on being on it next month..i've never been down that side trail on 29,the one that has a huge red sign by it,i think it was 274?? i was told that it was rock slide out 5 or 7 years ago..

Did you guys have enough time to get it open?
 
Thanks for the work all you guys did. I hate to miss this trail.

Very good to hear  Apollo    

Absolutely agree.  Thanks alot for your work to keep the trails open.  That is awesome.  
 
 

Thanks for all your hard work , Apollo. By the time we got done with Fridays ride my quad had a broken rear frame section ( yeah the same one I broke last year ) . It made it  right to the end of the day .  
 
We were all beat and now  I was out a machine . So we came on home . Thanks for getting the work done and carrying through .  
 
We could figure riding 29 and No Name Trail together on the same ride .  

If we can ride out of Sterling there is another route that make No Name seem like a walk in the park .  
 
Need to see if Doug has ridden that one .

Yep, I want to stage out of Sterling (6 Mile) and I think the "gnarly 2 track" I mentioned, is the same trail you're talking about. There are actually a couple, one is on the North side of the main road and the other is on the South side. (South is the most wicked)
 
And the 24th works for me
 
Will Wild Bill be healed up and ready to ride by the 24th???

So Apollo...
 
Tell me (and all of us) what your proposed route would be.  I'm curious.
 
 
I'm kinda torn.  I'd like to do several routes so which one(s)????
 
 
Here's one route I'd suggest (clarifying that I don't know where this "no name" trail is and I don't know where the extra "knarly" trail is either...
 
Launching from Sterling...
 
Park just up the road about 1/2 mile from the lake/golf course - on the right is a road taking off to the right with a good sized area to park.
 
Take the 6-Mile Canyon road up about half way up the canyon.  This would be marked trail 35 on the Arapeen map.
 
Cut off on trail 38.  Take this trail all the way to Skyline Drive.  Awfully pretty scenery along this route.  A few water crossings mixed in with some off-camber stuff and a few spots to practice your rock riding/rock crawling.
 
From Skyline Drive, take trail 72 down to Duck Fork Reservoir then trail 71 out to Ferron Reservoir.
 
Trail 7 back up to Skyline then down to 12-Mile Flat.
 
Trail 2 (main road) down a few miles.  Take the turn and run across trail 29.  Continue across 29 and exit it onto Skyline Drive.
 
Here we'll continue south on the main road (trail #1) and hang a right onto trail 2 and ride down this (Beaver Creek Road) to the bottom.  
 
We'll take trail 27 up and come out behind Town Reservoir (as an alternate that may be more fun would be to take the Pinchot Trail that paralells the main road up to Town Res.).
 
Ride the main road up a ways past Spring Hill and the beaver ponds.  Cut off on the Loveridge Flat road and take it north and back down into Sterling (this little road/trail offers some fair adventure all on it's own with some pretty STEEP downhill action as you drop down into 6-Mile Canyon).
 
 
I could offer a couple of alternate routes that depart from Mayfield as well.

Ok, give me until I get home and can look at a map for trail numbers. I only know most of the trails by name. Then I can lay out my preposed route. And I was not aware that you could get from loveridge flat into 6 Mile. I can't picture where this trail intersects with the 6 Mile side. I will look into this as well. And I think we are better off departing from Sterling simply because there is A Lot less traffic up 6 Mile and the road is much much less maintained (fun) than the 12 Mile road. That's my 2 cents

Apollo , the south trail out of Sterling is # 137  . I think it is called Forbush Cove ? I think Doug needs to see that one .  

Yeah , you're dad is right . Fawbush Cove goes right up the mountain. You end up ( after a little running around ) just west of the Pinchot Trail  trail head .  
It looked like an old Jeep trail that has been forgotten.   It would have been a wild ride in an old Willys , it's a pretty good ride on an atv  for sure .  
 
Don'  forget the Huggies wipes .

I'm sure it was a wild ride! They did a lot of "brave" stuff in the old Willys MJ.  
 
If Fawbush ends up in 12 Mile, then this changes everything (for the better)! We can run Fawbush, run Doug's trails in 12 mile, loop around and run my trails in 6 Mile. (and I'll bring plenty of wipes)  

So let's still stage from the State Park, then Glenn can lead us up thru Fawbush Cove. You can lead us on some trails in 12 Mile, then I can lead down thru 6 Mile?

We need to take Fawbush coming out of Sterling . If we can work 29 into this thing that would get us close enough for No Name .  
 
I have been told that I will be going to a football game  in Colorado on the 23rd / 24th .  ( are you kidding me ? football ? )  
 
Can we try and do the ride another weekend ?

October 1st? That would give Wild Bill more time to heal so he can join us.  

I talked to Bill .....
 
      Sounds like he is out for the year .  
      I'm going to miss that little Honda  riding right up my backside !!
 
  I'm good for the 17th . I will be somewhere , might as well be with you guys !

So...will the 17th work for everyone? Do we want to meet in Utah County or in Nephi, or just at the staging area? What time do we want depart the staging area? Who's going?

Wild William , lets get you fixed up !
 
Maybe we can find some parts on e-bay and get you put together .

If I can get my A-Arm bushing in time, I might have interest in going along.

That sounds like a great ride and I'd like to go but my daughters have a weekend volleyball tournament so I'll be with them that weekend.  Hope you have a great ride and I'll have to get the track log from you so I can check it out another weekend.
TT

Yes, Doug was interested.  And still is.
 
But we were talking about October 1st then.
 
 
I've got family coming in from Indiana on the 14th and I don't think I'll be able to get away on the 17th.  They'll be here for 9 days.
 
Will have to scope things out and talk with 'the boss'.
 
 
Are ya sure you don't want to put it off till the 1st?  I'm in for sure then!
 
 
Doug

I can do either date...just let me know. And when does the elk hunt start? I would prefer to avoid the area during the hunt.

Dave and I can make it on Oct 1st.  SARrider
