:D
Brandy I just spent the nite up on the Rim and found some serious snow :D . In fact, we slept in the back of the Dodge and woke up with 7 inches on the hood of new stuff. We went up 87, north on 260 and hung a left on FR237. Its about 15 miles (guessin :confused: ) after Woods Canyon Lake. You can take 237 all the way back until it dead-ends or hang a right on FR172 and it will work your way back to 260. (use a map)
Will warn you though, it is tough. We went in about 500 yards around 930pm last nite and I was done. It was more than my I could do with only 285 all terrains and a limited slip I backed out :o in my tracks till I found a thin spot.
The snow is deep 12-18 inches and unfortunaly, very wet. (wet snow packs and ices, doesnt just "push outta the way") I would highly reco chains, or BIG nasty tires and some HP if you wanna lead. I didnt have to use my winch (although darn close at one point) but I did have to dig ..... ALOT :mad: :mad: . Thank God for a fullsize shovel. When we left this afternoon, it was coming down again pretty good.
Anyways, its up there. Alot of it. Thought Id pass it on.
Best regards
