Can find the thread right now, but I've seen some crazy pics from there.
This was about the best informative website I could find on Turkey Bay, help me out Ares if you know a better one.

That first website belongs to a friend, Tom. He is going to the trail ride tomorrow. Good site with plenty of info on the place.

Buttpucker Hill is a must ride for the first timer. But after 3 or 4 times, its no big deal.

Buttpucker gulch WILL, I repeat, WILL tear your shit up quick. It is 200 times worse now than it was a year ago. The pits are at least 10ft deep in certain spots. It swallows vehicles up.... literally. It took 3 hours and 3 winches to get this guy out last winter. It should be Buttpucker Gulp cause it swallowed this full size bronco and he hasnt made it a third up the obstacle.



But, it is a side obstacle off the main trail. I seriously doubt any in our group will try it, but you never know. This is the beauty of TB. Nearly every obstacle has an easy way around. And, its a fun place for the stockest of trucks. We are planning on having a couple bone stock Wranglers in the group this weekend and they are guaranteed to have fun.

On a side note, it is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. If TB doesnt shut down, it will be a BITCH to do the easy stuff and damage will be certain.

Still, I would love to take a new RR or LR3 through some of the light trails on a dry day. I think you guys would have a blast and can escape damage-free. The great thing about our groups is many are experts on the area and are safety-first people. Never any pressure to do something you are uncomfortable, always plenty of tools, and never do we leave someone behind.

Ive seen both of your trucks, Ben and Brad, in action and I think you would have a blast at TB.
