I might not be able to get done what I need to get done by then, but damn some snow wheeling would be FU......N right about now

Being stuck is like solving a puzzle,
fun at first but can test your resolve.

We only stacked a few rocks in two spots and never pulled cable.

The difference between an ordeal and an adventure is Attitude!!

How many truckloads of concrete have you had to use, in addition to those few rocks ?

A buddy and me in a Yota are probably gonna run Mormon Emigrant this Friday. You guys are welcome to join.. Prob just gonna poke around, check it out, get stuck, have fun

 

[connor0770]

we have about 3-4 Jeeps and maybe 2 yotas going to mormon 2moro.

This will be a day run. We are going to meet at the Safeway off Highway 50 and Sly Park Road at 9:30am. Try not to be late, but we will wait for people as long as we can. Plan is to hopefully be on the trail by 10am.

^^^same plan as the 1-1-11 trip

Got back a few hours ago. GREAT DAY!! we were the only ones on the road making fresh tracks the whole day until we decided to turn around. The snow was PERFECT, not too wet and not to dry. Everybody had a blast and the Jeeps did great. Now for some pics:

Looks fun!

Where there any places where 3+ tow rigs could pull off the road and unload? Last year there was a nice spot, but depending on the snow level that might be under 2' of snow.


Thanks for the pics.

Yes, it is a snow park after that junction.

Don't worry, you'll get tired way before you get to it, it is VERY far away.
