EricG, I'll be there tomorrow as well, anyone else?. See ya at the Western at 8:30.

I've been toying with the idea of going up Rampart Range Road - but I'm not sure I really want to get up that early

jonxmann · 12-08-07, 10:08 PM

Yeah, I was thinking about that months ago too, but that would probably add about 2 hours to the drive. Depending on how snowed in the road is along the way I guess...

Anyway, we're just going to shoot up 24 - I'm sure we'll get plenty of miles on the forest roads by the end of the day, haha.

well, jeff and I are going up tomorrow!! new snow

Sorry I couldn't make it today guys. Had a couple things come up at the house that had to be taken care of.

Had an uneventful day in the middle section at least. Seems the weather scared off alot of people, but didn't give enough snow to make it really interesting. Still - it was a nice day of just cruising around on the snow covered roads.

Apparently there was somebody stuck in the mud off-trail past the end of 325B. The forest service guys asked us to steer clear - there may have been some citations involved. My guess is that it was probably near where we pulled that F150 out last year that was frozen in up to the axles.

Hey I am not going to be able to make it tomarrow. we are short a few guys now so I am gonna have to work.

NMuzj100 · 12-14-07, 07:26 PM

Going up tomorrow. Anyone else going ? Given the weather, travel in groups appears advisable.

Stock 100 on 285s with chains on all four. I figure I should be able to get around.

Man Jerk · 12-14-07, 10:27 PM

I'll be up there.

EricG · 12-15-07, 12:16 AM

I'll be there - for the morning at least. Will be collecting our own tree in the afternoon.

EricG · 12-15-07, 07:19 PM

Small turn out - Darryl, Mark & I. And uneventful. Whover goes up tomorrow - ask about the silver dodge crewcab down on 325B. Saw it there first at 1:00, was still there at 3:30 with nobody in sight.

EricG · 12-15-07, 11:54 PM

Some pics from today...

88chevota · 12-16-07, 07:16 PM

sorry I couldn't make it up at all guys. My tires never came in and one has a decent leak in it from a nail. looks like everyone had lots of fun!

NMuzj100 · 12-18-07, 01:15 AM

EricG's pictures are true to the conditions - snow glare was the biggest problem.

Sorry I didn't meet anyone else but saw a lot of cruisers.

Got a nice tree and had fun.
