  >

  > 
  > In both cases you can follow your nose and choose your own adventure as there are several trails you can branch onto during your drive. Highly recommended for C1 and has some fun technical challenges for C2 rigs. Great place for multi axle rigs also. Particularly enjoyable night trail drive.
