Had a sweet day yesterday. Way better then working lol. Had 4 jeeps total, me, my buddy from naxja, ff33 and jeep9867. Started out on Red Elepant. Man has that trail changed alot, its way more dug out and a little harder then I remember it being. Made it up 1.5 no problems, then started hitting the snow. It already had tracks threw it, but whatever had gone threw must of been heavy, as the drifts were pretty slopped downwards and was a little sketch. Had to pull the winch a few times to get unstuck and out of a jam but nothing big. Started making new tracks about 2.5" miles in and started hitting some big drifts. Jeep9867 took lead and busted some big drifts and with a little shovel action, we made it to the fork where all the trails meet. Had lunch and traded wheeling stories. Then started up Mill creek. Hit a big 3ft drift right away that was prob 50 yards long. Had to do some winching to get threw but made it. Then hit the fork where you head up to Bill Moore, well there was no making it! Difts were huge and we just couldent get up them. So we backed down and started down to the main road to Bill Moore. Made it to my tracks from Sat and then started up Bill Moore. Made it to where we did on Sat as well. Alot of snow had melted since then but there was still a ton and we werent going any farther. Made it maybe another 10ft past my old tracks. All in all a great day. No major damage, just some scratches on the soft tops, tagged a few trees with the back of the jeep. Onto the pics :D

Curious...as I sit in 98 degree Tennessee....what was the temperature up there? Lots of snow, but y'all are still in short sleeves.
