    Default itchin to wheel



    Having fun on one of my snow plow drifts The last pic is of a neighbors drive that is coming Monday. Got stuck 6 feet into the driveway....the drift just above my Jeep in the back ground is as big as the Jeep, will get pics of that plow out when I do it. This driveway has sun all day too, to give you insight as to nearby trail conditions. There is ice under all the snow too, about 8" thick at and near the top.

    No real rush, Aaron, "it" is skied/boarded/sledded year round. It just might look like that drift I pulled up on though

    are you having Josh do an SAS? I see these pics of a red Explorer SAS and think to myself... "Is that Tom's?"

    And then find this post. lol. Maybe so?

    I am going crazy waiting. Have my mud terrains back on and am ready to rage! Good thing I am building a bumper right now so at least I am spending some time with the hobby, if I can call it that. It is in my DNA now, it consumes my thoughts most days.

    Great pics Paul! I can't wait to get out myself, hoping to make Pickle Gulch this weekend. Yankee Hill is still snowed in on the cemetery side, guess it's even deeper on your side.

    I think we are all in the same boat. Even with finals and graduation around the corner I find myself looking at trail vids and other 4x relates sites in class.

    That last pic is funny. "Restroom are open to the public". They should add "as long as you have a snowplow or some dynamite, or can hold it until June"

    "They" is me , I keep it shoveled/plowed out, I know you can't hold it until June There are occasions that a mountain club who frequents the area, will shovel the potties out for me when they beat me to it.

    Jenn and I are going to poke around the gilpin area on the other side of you Paul, prospecting for potential land. I will report back any conditions I find.

    Well we went looking for land but ended up wheeling bald mtn road and the network of trails above central city. All pretty dry and fun even though there aren't many obstacles.
