Yeah it is, all I can say is bring ALOT of alcohol. We are a good distance from everything so running out of food, snuff, alcohol or gas would be a huge hassle. Depending on how many people are bringing ATV's me and my brother might bring ours. We will need someone to bring a BBQ pit, I can bring mine but if I bring the ATV that would be out of the question

Here is a list of trails/ratings and a map. The F-150's will be fine on the 1 & 2's so my plan is to stick to those

Alright guys thats the map and trail ratings of Barnwell. As you can see they vary from 1-5. My plan is to run the 1's first so everyone can get thier feet wet then if everyone is comftorable we will head out to the 2's. From experience I can tell ya the F-150s will not make it down the 3's so the 2's will be here it ends. If some people have trouble or just dont feel comftorable on the 1's we can have them ride along with others on the 2's and park the trucks back at camp.

For all those that plan on running trails a couple things would help greatly if/when we get stuck
-Front tow hooks, rear hitch or ball for recovery
-20k 2" tow strap with looped ends

All the 4wd's come with front tow hooks to the best of my knowledge, but any 2wd's will need some way for us to recover them so that we dont damage the truck. From the rear any hitch is an instant recovery point, but a ball on the bumper also works too if need be. While all of us dont need recovery straps it would be nice to prevent one person from having to run his to all the stuck trucks.

Excellent, this is an amazing offroad park with really nice trails and breath taking scenery. The more the better, who knows we might even make this an annual event. Your truck is also set up well for what we are doing
