we had to groom the road a bit here to get everyone else through safely;

[Symon623]

We continued up the road about another ½ mile and came out of the trees to a switchback;

til we were back at teh muddy *** main road;

[Symon623]

It was an awesome run, with great peeps, great attitudes, great drivers and great rigs.

6 rigs, 4 with 2 lockers, 2 with one, 33"-37" tires and the guys with only one locker and 33" tires drove their asses of to be able to make this.

By far my most enjoyable run in years.

That is a :asshole: load of snow!

Looks like you all had a ton of fun in the white stuff.
