If we are on the trail with head lamps on foot we don't worry especially if we are in an area that is on an established, well known trail. He had only traveled the upper trail once and that time wasn't after an ice storm which downed trees. They missed the turn that day and had to hunt for it and that was during daylight hours. We had light sources with us a plenty. He could just see how this had potential to go very wrong. We are the main or only ones who ride these trails so it is going to be up to us to re-open them. There is the occasional other person who uses them, but some never get ridden if we don't. I will have to take a photo of the dirt ditch he didn't want to go down. Winching out of a hole at night would not be fun either. Some of the predicaments we get ourselves into involve me standing on the side of the RZR to counter balance it so it doesn't tip. I have to be prepared to jump for it if that fails. Buck Coward, our friend, got his machine down in that gully and tore it up on a previous trip. We're going to have to cut some logs and repair that spot. I see a weekend of primitive camping and even more serious trail maintenance. Going to shoot you a PM on Facebook. You need to see photos of what we are hunting. You will want to go along! Hugs!

Also, I had to chuckle about Kenny worrying about getting out in time. Maples does that sometimes. Me...I am the king of getting out right at dark! I can't count how many times I got back to my car right at dark!
