I wasn't with you guys, but was up there with a bunch of Tjs and Yjs...
We drove right past Rogers since there was a truck with a trailer stuck in the entrance and went to Lee's Camp store to air down and disconnect, then headed up towards Archers. We made it about 9 miles in, almost to the trails, but the snow got to deep to go through with the narrow roads and cliffs on the side. We had to winch 4 Wranglers and Tow one, all just to turn around. My XJ never got stuck :eeks1:
So we headed back down the hill to go towards Rogers to see if the mess had cleared out...the truck and trailer were still there (or another one) but we just went around and headed to FB5. It was slightly worn in, looked like a few rigs had gone through but it had some fresh snow on there as well, One YJ has some issues but everyone else made with no problem. We then decided to head over to Hogsback taking C Line rd. Bad Idea
This road was obviously not traveled in a while and the snow was packing in the Grill of the lead TJ on 35s with 6 inches of lift. WE ended up turning around to go back and almost lost one of the TJs down the cliff, he just started slidingand stopped right near the edge. An hour and a half of winching later with me crawling through the snow drifts to connect the snatch blocks and tree savers; we got him back to the road. By this time, after hitting only one trail, it was getting dark. The drive back was pretty uneventfull, it was just raining at the lower elevations.
But in all, of 9 jeeps, only me and one other TJ made it without getting stuck...and I'm the mildest built of all of em :moon:
