I'm not telling a fish story but back in the early 90's I climbed Lion's Back at night in a stock 92 Nissan P/U with a 4 popper and a 5 speed not knowing what I was going up because my girlfriends brother who happened to live there took me there after I told him I wanted to go wheeling after we had a few beers. It took me 3 or 4 tries at the base to get going.... when I did get going I sobered up knowing there was no turning around until I got to the top. But I did it and glad to say that I did.

I agree with you, blazer6248. In the old days, the owner charged a couple bucks to let people drive up. Fair enough deal, its his land. All off-roaders (and everyone else, for that matter) need to RESPECT PRIVATE PROPERTY.

It might be LESS scary at nght, because you wouldn't have to look at the cliffs on either side of the track. The Lions Back is on private property, the owner has fenced off the whole area; the rumor was that he is building condos on that property. I haven't been there for 2 years or more, so I'm not sure what the current situation is.
