There is a run on Friday May 13 from Napa to Knoxville. (part 1).

You can come on either one or both.

I would stay both are about the same with some little harder sections. We could spot you thru any tough sections plus I do have traction equipment which would raise your ground clearance but I don't really think you'll need it. I've looked at the clearance for a KJ and it's not bad stock. Probably the worse would be a few scratches on the skid plates but after the first one its not a big deal. They can easily be touched up and sense there under the jeep most people don't even do that. Although I really don't think you'll have a problem but obviously the trails do change a little from year to year. Overall I think these trails would be fun in a KJ but you want to feel comfortable.

I think this would be a great beginner/intermediate run jeeples. We have a few 01-03 Liberty's in our county fleet. Code compliance puts them thru their paces with all the off road properties we have in our county, so I bet your Liberty will surprise you.

Thanks Jim:

I actually saw a Liberty in the parking lot yesterday and checked it out. I really don't think they would have much trouble on these trails and I think it would be a really good experience to find out there capabilities.

Thanks guys. I'm in for Clearlake to cache creek. Where/when is the meeting point?

Here's a few pictars I dug up from past Knoxville runs. Mostly gravel and dirt roads with a few challenging trails. Most of the manzanita and deer brush are probably gone now.

Where is the knoxville trail head? I would be coming from north of ukiah on the 101.

Appreciate the pictures Jim. Do you recommend starting at the northern end or southern end (since we heading up from Napa) and I thought we would take the southern route to the north staging area. Unless you have some better suggests?
