Re: Sevenmile and perhaps Stump hill next weekend
[QUOTE=Jim;335071]Yep! My Jeep's on the road. I'll pack it tonight to be ready in the morning.
Sounds like four vehicles for the trail.
Depending upon the time - I might head north to the no-winter-maintenance section of route 80C.[/QUOTE]
Jim, can you show a screen shot or map shooing 80c? I’m not seeing this on my map....
Re: Sevenmile and perhaps Stump hill next weekend
Intersection of 80C and Route 59. Where 80c heads west it's no-winter-maint. I was there in the car a couple sundays ago and pushed things a bit too much (was a bit sketchy coming down the slick snow surface and wanting to NOT get stuck in a ditch).

This story has my interest (80c in the summer is a nice, casual, scenic drive)

Heading west / uphill on the start of 80c no maint:

Then I turned around and made it _almost_ back to clear ground but I dropped a wheel off of the hardpack. I laid out the jeep tire chains for the win...

Re: Sevenmile and perhaps Stump hill next weekend
Ok that’s much farther north than I was looking.....
See you guys tomorrow at 10 ;)
Re: Sevenmile and perhaps Stump hill next weekend
I'd agree - farther north.
It depends upon time if I might amble up that way to have a peek at what's over the top of the hill.
See you at 10 at the roadside trailhead.
