FYI, from word of mouth.... I think the gulches are still in rough shape. Might want to have a backup plan.

Think a stock truck on 33's will make any of them? It has ATRAC and recovery points. I'll grab some chains and a snatch strap before to be prepared.

From what I've heard, most groups didn't make it very far and had to turn around. Snow drifts up to a few feet with packed snow and ice under it. Your vehicle would generally do well enough in normal conditions. With these though, it's tough to say. Definitely bring your gear.

Like I said, this is all word of mouth as well as the last report I heard of was from last week. Conditions could be better by now. Wont know until you get out there!

7 vehicles participated. Roads were icy in a few spots, some snowpack but mostly dry. Sam led the way, Thanks Sam. After Metberry a few went on to Hackett Gulch.

The videos of the large rock are too large to post. Does anyone mind me putting them on Facebook under the event post?

 

[PWCO70crusier]

don't mind at all! Post them up to Facebook. If it asked for permissions, let me know, but you should be able to just load them up.

 

[CO_Hunter]

Once posted please link them back here if possible. I don't do FB.
