does anyone use the atv trail guide or the jeep guides by Charles A Wells.  do you agree with his ratings, is his hard really hard or is he on the safe side

I have 2 covering trails around Taylor Park.  I picked them up for my second trip to there.  As for the ratings, the difficult ones I was on, I didn't think were that bad except for 414.  Hadn't had the book when I tackled that trail, it was a nightmare with a big box on the back with a flat gas pack across the back.

 As a local said his ratings are aimed for the newer riders, kind of an early warning that you need some seat time in different types of terrain.
