[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Yea depends what news station you listen to. Last night they said by saterday the front range could have 6-10 inches. Thats what 9 news said

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

Well that will just make things more interesting.

 

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Is there a plan for if it dumps snow? Or is the plan to go snow bashin then.

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

Plan is the same if it dumps snow lol

 

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Dumb dumbs are saying 1-2 feet mountains and 6-12 denver. Should be intresting

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

haha, will be interesting indeed! thought the weather people are rarely right, guess we shall see what happens Sunday.

Who is going to bail with the snow?

 

[cmequestionu]

The only reason I wouldn't go is if it wasn't possible to get to the trail.

 

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Only thing that worries me is that trail is you drop down a big hill the have to go up a big hill on the otherside or go back up the first big hill to get out. Ive seen a lot of people in the tree lines there abandoned

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

Well we will meet up. Go down towards the trail and check it out. If it is bad, then call it off and get some breakfast, if the trail seems doable then go for it.

 

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Sounds good im in.

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

Awesome. Moving departure time from the gas station to 9am BUT meet time at the station is the same. Just giving us more time to get to the gas station with the weather


If you have mine or Ryan's (getrdone52) number then text us with the time you will be arriving so we don't leave without you!
I have no problem waiting because I will probably be asleep in my truck lol

Plan: meet up, drive down to the trail and check it out. If it isn't doable AT ALL then we won't be trying, we will leave and grab some breakfast or something before the second half of the meet. If it is doable then by all means we are going to try
PLEASE post up if you are going to come out to the first part.

^ Yeah last time I was up there, was maybe 3-4" of snow on the ground, I saw a Toyota pickup on 31" ATs that had slid off the trail into some trees coming up the "easy" hill. According to 9 News Denver is predicted to get 9-14" with the foothills recieving even more. Given those kind of conditions, I think it would be wise if several of the vehicles going have a winch, but I dont think that will be the case.... I dont think rescheduling the event should be out of the question.

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

I know there is a truck with a winch going or was

 

[cmequestionu]

I plan on going and have a winch. It is portable and can be used in any 2" hitch. Besides, getting stuck is half the fun!

 

[TrucksGetDirty]

Awesome. I have a tow strap and shovel.
