SNOW RUN

[Greg@RME]

Hope everyone made it home safe & sound! It was a great trip, I don't know the last time I covered so few miles, yet had so much fun.

Here's a link to the pics I got-

Can You Say Fun!!!!

Wow what a great day for a snow run. We had an awesome time and not even one person got stuck, ok maybe the last part is a bit of a stretch. ARI07FJ get the backup award for running the trail forward then decided he would complete it backwards. Great time with Spy v. Spy which begs the question of how many FJ's it takes to pull out an FJ.

I would like to thank everyone for coming, helping out and making the day memorable for everyone. Here are some pic's of the run. Picasa Web Albums - billb596 - 2010 Snow Run

what a blast!

Wow sooo fun! I'm really impressed with the group and can't wait for the next one.

There's nothing like a full day of wheeling only to go maybe 2 miles of trail. I haven't done that in years!

For the next run maybe we'll make it 2.5 miles before we run out of day!

Thanks to everyone for coming out and enjoying a day in the snow.


Can't wait for the next outing.

Had a great time as well! It was wicked awesome wheelin with you guys It probably would have been better without all those damn FJ Cruisers though Or maybe if all the the FJ Cruisers had lockers? Haha can't wait for the next run!

Here are the pics that I took:

My favorite, the aftermath of the chaos.

x2 when's the next one???

thanks to all who posted pics. Looked like a blast. I hated to miss it, but my daughter did qualify for state at her swim meet I attended.

I'd love to join others who had to miss out if any of you who went would like to organize another go at it???

Thanks to all and what a great run!

Okay now that I can move my muscles normally after all that snow shoveling... I just wanted to say how absolutely fine this group was to work with on the run. Being a new-bee I wasn't sure if I was getting in with some die hard rock-jocks or gear-heads and would feel out of place. Just want to say thanks for your patience and the great support for us new members.

I like your attitude of letting the new guy get his chops down on his own. I felt bad holding up everyone (seems like every five feet my car just slowly sank in place!). But it meant a lot. I must also add that I was quite amazed at the driving abilities of those in the group! I tend to learn faster by doing and as I watched you guys work your way out of what appeared to be impossible angles and depths of snow I just copied what you were doing and managed to get myself out of the way! Couldn't have done it without your help and expertise.

Now I know I got to get my "shaved ice machine" lifted! I need a tow strap and bumper hook .... learned how to correctly hook up snow chains ....anyway I learned a lot on this first run.....and to anyone thinking about joining this club you couldn't find a better bunch!

Thanks to all that I pestered with endless questions about gear, techniques etc.. and before I forget it...it was just great seeing the old technology pulling the new tech boys out of the snow!

My Adventure Hat was given the" luck touch" by Bill's wife and see...I got off that trail! Backwards! The pictures say it best! What a blast!

Hope to make the next one!

I'm so glad you had fun and learned so much!
Thank you for daring to come. you must have had some apprehensions and I'm really glad you stuck to your guns and took the chance to try it. I could see you had quite a learning curve but NOW YOU KNOW! absolutely fantastic!

I would like to throw my hat off to the club as well!
What a great trip and awesome peeps.

Can't wait to go again. My wheels are turning trying to come up with a run that we can go on and cover some miles-not a mile!

cheers to all

There are a few in Montrose you can travel...they are mostly easy and short.

One trail I would recommend for wheeling and sight seeing...It probably ranks a two - three on a scale of one to five in places but it's tight in the trees where you cross the river. My stock 4-runner made it just fine now that I think of it...but usually take the LC for the fun of it Bring a saw or push through the brush on this one.

These trails are near Cactus Ridge where you have the famous rock buggy trails as well...if you have one..I don't Topless, Die trying, Scratch-N-Dent are some of the 5+ trails.
