Talked to guys this weekend and there was still snow up there. Odds are it will be mostly melted off by this weekend, great time to get a tree but horrible time to play in the snow.
A group of us will be meeting at the Jville market around 830. Then leaving at 845, it will be a slow caravan as these particular trucks aren't really suited for the road. According to the map its quickest to go out hwy 238. Anyone's welcome to join us.

SO unfortunately Mark from MT won't be making it down for our run
, scheduling conflicts. However Brandon from MT will be making the trip down to join us 
and may have a little santa bag with some give aways 
Picked up a tree tag for him and myself. If you planning on a tree grab one. (I got mine at Blackbird)
See you sunday and hope for some snow!
You guys get all the fun. I get to be on a cramped plane probably next to the large sweaty guy or the old lady who snores.
At least my kid likes flying, so don't need to worry about a screaming baby and everyone else hating me.
run
Having issues with my 4Runner. Hope to fix it tomorrow. We were looking forward to having breakfast at the Buckboard before the run. Is there any good 4wheeling around Holcomb Peak ?

We are going to try to hit up breakfast around 830-9. As for wheeling around that area there's not too much but plenty of exploration roads that take you places. Most of the wheeling done up there is when it snows. There are geocaches up there too but I don't think we have many geocachers in the club.
Somebody have time to pick me up an extra tag? I kick ya back some coin, if not oh, well. See ya in the AM

Great Day!
Could have used some more snow, but beautiful day to be out with good company. Pam took tons more pic, so soon as I get them from her I will post up. And special thanks to Brandon and Tara from MetalTech for making the trip down. It was fun meeting you.
And only a few harmless trees were harmed in this mild adventure.

I liked the sunshine and happy faces. I think the boys had a lot of fun thrashing in what snow was to be had and big thanks to Metal Tech for sending Brandon and Tara and the goodies. I always feel so small in my little 80 when I'm around you guys..
Snow... need more snow...

Thanks for another great time. Especially enjoyed the detour on the way up. Sunshine and snow make a cool combo.
