The Pipeline trial in northern Wisconsin

I recently took my new JLRU on the trail for the first time, the trip was long and a bit rushed but I found it quite rewarding.
This was a exploratory trip since I couldn't find much info on the trail that wasn't at least 4 years old, as I was by myself I kept from going into any difficult areas.
The trail is pretty short only about 5 miles but some sections are quite fun and the woods are beautiful in that area, granted if it was raining and tackling the more technical sections 5 miles is a pretty long trip I would wager that it would take me about 5 hours to finish it on the Rubicon if it was wet and muddy, but I would need a winch since the locker wouldn't be a guarantee to get over some obstacles.

The first obstacle is a root deep enogh to test out your rig and line spotting but there is a easy way on the side that doesn't require much work other than 4wd, after that the trail is really smooth until you get to the first major obstacle were the trail turns into a rocky hill climb.
I opted to back track and go around the hill on a more transited section that proved easy but with plenty to challenge those who want to try things out.

It looks like you had a great time. The scenery is beautiful!

After that it is a really easy trail some roots and some sand filled ditches but for the most part nothing major, on a warning note if you are afraid of scratches you best bring something to cover up your sides since some areas the trees are really low and the trail is really narrow due to vegetation.
