HOLY CRAP!! Sadie Creek adventure...

Jeepster1 · Oct 22, 2006

Well, every direction I ever got about how to find the Sadie Creek ORV area SUCKS!!! Bad directions get you LOST!!

8.5 miles west of Joyce, just past Mile marker 43, take a left on E Twin Lakes to view the trailhead sign...then back across the highway to hit the trail.

That being said, I got NO pictures of the trail. I got plenty of carnage. We had an absolute blast destroying the Grand Cherokee on this trail. I highly recommend everyone giving it a shot when you can.

There are lots of trees, a bit of mud, and many, many tight unforgiving twists and turns.

Windows, liftgates, taillights, bumpers, rear view mirrors, and lots of paint WILL be removed on the trail if you take a grand cherokee!!!:redneck:

Well, time to whip out the sawzall...:stupid:

We ran busy wild last winter in the snow and I don't remember even touching a tree....... :flipoff:

Welcome back Jon.

And yup, Sadie can be tight. IMO it's tighter than Busywild by a substantial factor, however the actual wheeling is better on the busywild, wet or dry. If you're Wrangler sized, exo'd, or smaller than a Wrangler, then Sadie should be damage free. IF it's raining heavily, for a while, than Sadie can also be slippery, but it doesn't have the bottomless bogs that develop at Elbe in the same conditions. Elbe has better mud, better trails, but is NOT nearly as tight. The real reason to go to Sadie is that you can camp on the Ocean at Salt Creek Campground, which has got to be one of the most beautiful campgrounds in the world.

Not if you take the same line back out as you do in. There are two trees that will EAT a wrangler on the way back out (or running the trail backwards if it's a loop again) if you don't take the low side to avoid the pair.

If you go in with your windhield frame up, I give the average driver an 80% chance of wacking it good at least once.

Last time I was up there, Sadie creek had a section or two tigher than the original tightass could ever dream of being.

You can thank the guy with the flatty for marking the trail that way. :redneck: :haha:

Flatties? Aren't those only in museums nowdays?

How many miles of trails is there? How many hrs to run them?
Trying to get a feel for if it is worth the trip up there...

Hey now ... thats what Im building right now. I guess its an old guy thing. Theres only one 4x4 trail but several miles of quad trail also nice beach camping nearby.

JOOP · Nov 28, 2006

The trail is 1.84 miles long. Last time I was up there in May you could only enter one way. Run the trail then at the end turn around and come back through. So your gauranteed to hit all the tree's that cause damage. :redneck:

Took us in May to run both ways (4 rigs) about 3-4 hours. When its dry you could run it in 30 minutes one way, but wet like now,,,:clappy: Have fun. :haha:

But I heard someone say Saturday that theres a new trail that has been added to it. But I have know way to confirm it or deny it.
