rough for quads, perfect for dirtbikes. Although there was a section of deep mud up the powerline, looks to be drying a bit now.

Unless it got worse that just sounds like typical Vega. The powerline would be rought for a utility quad but there are lots of nice trails that branch off of the main one that don't get whooped out at all.

sounds like one of you guy's needs to invest in a GPS. How was the ride out there anyways? I used to go to Vega to practice high speed woops with the motocross bike LoL. Then I got good on the woops and no longer have ANY desire to return to Vega.

I allmost got lost lol once, turned my GPS on and got out, it was gettin really dark too and we took some trails that took us right down to the river. You should pack some flaging tape with yeah if your not framiliar with the area and try and mark your trail there is so many trails that run of on other trail and conect back to the trail you wear just one that its like a maze. You wear in the toy with the dual exaust right ?

Its north of Barrhead.. If you find the town of vega on a map, you go from Vega... north to the T intersection, turn left, follow the signs to the Klondyke Ferry, cross the ferry, then anywhere on the right hand side for about 3 miles is all staging area. I usually turn right then right, at the big power lines about a mile up from the ferry, and in there is some nice shaded areas to stage.
Its a lot of sandhills - big and small, muskeg, whoops, some hard pack, did I say whoops? Its 35 sq miles big and is also known as the timue off highway recreation area I believe...
