That trail brings back memories. I grew up near there (in Big Creek) and we took our bone stock 1970 into Red lake towing a small luggage trailer with an aluminuim fishing boat on the top. It took several hours and we had to stop to let the clutch cool off a couple of times. I think we had to unhook the trailer a couple of times and drag it with a chain over a rock or two. After a couple of days camping at Red lake we left the trailer there and made it in to Coyote lake. We could have walked there faster as it was a very tough trail for a stock bronco.
We passed several folks during that trip who said we were crazy and we would never make it in there with our trailer, but hey, they were in jeeps and scouts, so they obviously didn't know what they were talking about. I guess I should mention that we did this trip in about 1972! Wow, now I feel like an old fart (even though I was only 11 at the time). Still have the bronco in the family and it still looks like new! Some day, I'll convince my dad to part with it and it can live in my garage here in Texas.
Maybe some day I can trailer my current bronco out there and do the trail again along with the Dusy Ershim trail (sigh....that's a long way to tow).
From the looks of those pictures you had a great time and it's always fun to perform a trail side rescue.
