aside from ruby, I'm down for a day or two weekend trip before or after ruby.

I might be up for a day/two before Feb 15. Sounds like it will be fun.

 

[bwakeling]

Interested.

Im off from the 9th to the 14th... so, heading for Ruby unless anyone has a better idea. Camp Friday night the 10th at old helipad, depending who has to work and whatnot, or meet up in the morning and get going.

 

[bwakeling]

I am game to head out on Friday.

 

[bwakeling]

Looking forward to getting out tomorrow!

how was the snow out there?

 

[hiluxjeremy]

Not bad at all in the riverbed, a few drifts here and there. We ended up taking a route in I'd never been on, it turned into quite the adventure. Main route should be a good time, happy wheeling!

Had we not spent all that time and fuel fighting to the top of the lookout I dont think the upper trail would have been so bad.

I'm at work up north for another 12 days yet so no I can't make it unfortunately. Yes time and fuel could have been better spent on the main event.
