Rausch Creek...safe for a mostly stock Avy?

My friend and I are planning a trip out to Rausch Creek for sometime next month, but before I go I need to make sure the Avy won't get beat up too bad.  We're just looking to have some fun in the woods, not run any crazy trails or anything, just powerlines and green trails.  My truck has a leveling kit and 285 DuraTracs, my friend has a Grand Cherokee with a 3" lift and the same tires.

I've never wheeled the Avalanche before so I'm new to off-roading the truck, but I grew up wheeling in my dad's Jeep and I spend pretty much every weekend riding my quad.  I know how to pick lines and should be fine with the truck, but I don't want to get into anything that could mess my truck up too bad (that's what I have the quad for  >:D)

Thanks for any advice  (y)

I know this is old, but did you ever end up there? If so how was it, I'm not to far away and would love to give it a go.
 
I'd love to go down there, but probably not till next year. I know a couple guys that go every other weekend with a jeep club, but they go on the crazy trails. I got to get my rear suspension problem fixed before I go off-roading again.
 
I'd be in if you guys put a trip together, I've been there before with my stock Blazer, only had some minor scraping on one of the beginner trails, no damage.
 
James21 and I spoke briefly about this back in November.  I was thinking of trying to set up a GTG for late april-May. One day, or maybe a weekend depending on what the general consensus is. Thinking of hitting the Yuengling Brewery tour for the 11 am tour, Rausch Creek (even though I would have to ride along with someone) then was thinking of 901 Pub for Dinner (it's close and I've been there before, nothing special, but good food at a good price)

Thoughts?
I'll also post a thread in the PA regional forum.
