This camping trip was a almost complete loss. Shotgun creek is no good. There is only one trail that is open to class 2 atv's. After competing the trail we drove up to the ohv area by hoodoo. Bad choice, still snowed in. With time gettin late and not set up for campin in the snow we headed west to detroit lake to camp for the night. In the morning we drove to browns camp. This was the best idea all weekend. Like always browns camp was great. Got the gl stuck twice, once almost roled over, and high centered the other time. After browns camp and getting home we clocked over 600 miles worth of driving from place to place on counting all the offroading that we did in browns camp.
