Me and the MS. went up to have some fun playing in the snow yesterday. while there was quite a bit of snow the conditions weren't all that great. There was a sheet of ice under all the new snow, all the way up the mountain. Going up wasn't a big deal but by the time we were coming back down and some other rigs had been packing down the snow. It was getting very slick and was time to get down! On the way down we found a candidate for the darwin awards, there was a guy towards the bottom in a new 2WD minivan spinning and trying to go up in this mess. I told him he'd better turn around before going any further. I don't think he was listening though. The 4Runner did great was able to move around at will. I did manage to find a rock sticking out that was hidden by the snow. That eventually led to a bead popping, no biggie put a strap on the tire and added some air and it reseated itself. I stopped to help some kids who had gotten sideways and they couldn't believe that I was wasn't locked or had chains on. I had to explain to one of them that keeping your lockers on while sliding down the hill is a bad idea. As soon as he turned them off he was able to right himself.
We were moving along just fine in this...
until this...
once back on we continued on a bit...
Dog was having a great time...
I have a habit of passing these kinds of signs...
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT STORM!
