Thatll be a good trip, We used to always do it just before it got closed for winter. Make sure you take lots of pics for us. 
Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, front and rear lockers, 35" simex.
Toyota FJ45 build in progress.
Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Don't forget to check out the Doc restored water wheel,great little side track on the way [ depending which way you go...lol..] and plenty to look at

Can't get down to the waterwheel anymore except on foot....
It was on private land and there is now a fence with no gate across the track.

Nothing wrong with pulling on the boots for stint.

This is going back 7 or 8 years, but back then that track was getting torn up.

I was in there a couple of years a go and the track wasn't to bad,it was mainly rocky but there were some wash outs but certainly nothing to drastic
The serpentine was far worse but i think there has been quite a lot of work done on the track....people had not been sticking to the track
