I think the vote was a thumbs up from us all and we're gonna be repeat customers! We spent most of the time making round after round on a trail marked for a previous harescramble that was roughly 6-7 miles long. It would have been harder to have the right mix of easy/moderate/difficult because the "new guy" was able to hang yet it was technical/taxing enough for the rest of us to end up feeling pleasantly whipped by the time 5pm rolled around. We didn't experience all of it (based on the claim of trail length we saw about half or less), but most of it was tight with plenty of rocks, roots, holes, deer, overhanging tree limbs, and some mud (not too much, 'been pretty dry around here). The trail was crawl-speed in some places. In others one could pick up some pretty good speed if you had the nerve (fast but gnarly!). I'd call the hills easy-to-moderately difficult.
All-in-all, a great day! Here's a few pictures; I didn't capture as much as I would have liked to but we were having far too much fun to spend too much time takin' pictures!
Here's a shot of a wide-open fast section . . .
Here's one of Andy on his new-to-him KDX200 and some new duds . . .
A steep downhill that gets even steeper, complete with some deep ruts and half-buried, watermelon sized rocks (couldn't get stopped to take a picture of the steeper spot) ending at the bank of Eagle Creek, a small river!!
Some trailside repairs on the DR in the dried-up creek bottoms . . .
