    I'm in. It was a big fail for me last time and I was by myself and didn't have a ground anchor or anything to hook onto to winch over the one rock I couldn't clear. Will be nice to go with some anchors...er....Jeeps this time.

    I’d love to do Wheeler again but got some “after funeral” stuff to do.

    Looks like 1/2" to 1" of snow accumulation tonight, but I'm not sure what is already on the ground. Saturday looks good, I'm sure it will be wet and hope there is no snow on the ground.

    If I'm looking at this correctly, 7" accumulation just outside of Fairplay, so I'm thinking we may run into some snow at the upper elevations

    It's going to be a great day to wheel to Wheeler. We may hit some snow, but that will only up the fun...
