Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Very relaxed ride with a few areas that might be tricky after heavy rains but no issues today (and I am new to the off-roading world). Had about a dozen horse and deer flies hitching rides on my back windshield and around my hood scoop, so I kept my windows up; didn’t see anyone else 😁 except a parked forest service vehicle on an offshoot.

Impassable Water Crossing
Courtois Creek was impassable at Bass River resort. Had to access further down Hwy 8 in Washington County. Once on the trail it was peaceful and quiet. Saw a couple of BMW motorcycles on the trail which was pretty cool.
