    Hello All,

    My name is Carlos Bolanos. I moved to Parker 2 years ago, originally from Miami, FL. I am long time off-roader (on 2 wheels) who recently purchased a Jeep to do some serious 4x4 wheeling. I was told about this group by Shane and Isak who saved me on Switzerland trail this weekend. I was with a friend who wanted to rent a SxS for his birthday and we hit Switzerland only to make it about 2 miles in from the west when we got stuck in 2+ feet of snow. We were hoping somebody would come from the west because the east side seemed as if it was completely impassible. After about 2 hours of digging without being able to get un stuck we heard noise from the east side of the trail. When I walked around a turn on the trail to my amazement i saw Shanes incredible Gelandewagon just plowing through a 5 foot snow drift, with some help from the winch, to come up and save us.

    Look forward to being able to get out there and hit the trails with some of you!

    -Carl Bolanos

    I found a couple of pictures from yesterday.

    This is how badly that SxS was buried. Basically full wheel height.



    And the snow drift I had to winch over to get to you
