[QUOTE="DaJudge, post: 1283505, member: 17019"] On the way back home from Arkansas a few years back on my fully loaded '05 Feejer, I plotted a route through an area SE of Mena where my GPS showed there was a road. There was, kind of. It went from paved --> 2-lane well-packed gravel --> single lane packed gravel--> single lane looser gravel --> single lane moderately eroded and rutted dirt/gravel. The only thing that saved me from dumping it in the middle of nowhere was that I had spent a decent amount of time astride a DRZ400E on similar paths. 12 miles later it started to improve and eventually became blacktop. I would not ever wish to repeat that high pucker ride. Stupid GPS. I drove some of the Colorado forest service roads near South Fork last July in a UTV. Some of them were freshly graded, smooth and nice enough that people were driving cars (not 4WD) on them. Others were little better than double track paths with ruts, rocks, sand, roots and loose gravel. I left the FJR parked back at the cabin. [/QUOTE]
