Wheeler Lake
It was nice to finally do Wheeler lake though the weather could have been better. :lol: Great turnout (8 trucks) considering how crappy it was, nice meeting folks I hadn't before and seeing others that I hadn't for a while.
I hope everyone made it home w/o incident, visibility couldn't have been much worse.
One pic at the lake.

Great meeting some new folks and seeing friends! Impressive turnout, especially with the weather. Looked like the only other rig that had been up there recently was a buggy on Boggers.
And I love seeing Jeeps with those killer long arm suspensions just strut their stuff! Too bad Dave Pritchett wasn't here, too.
Here are some pictures and the photobucket link for the rest:

Late August or early September is really the time to do this trail as the wild flowers are in bloom then. I think that the last time that I ran it was during this time and I hiked around the lake while my buddy fished. The flowers were beautiful, and, of course, I didn't have my camera with me...
When we did the late China Wall run last year and everyone except me and LaDawn and Tye and Stella went back home via Tarryall to Hwy24, we hit a white out snow storm about 2 miles off the trailheal. It lasted until Conifer before it opened up a little. Took over 3 1/2 hours to get back home and we were using the reflective markers on the road side to locate the road.

Great pictures, man! You sure managed to get around outside while a lot of us (including me) were hiding from the weather. Good to meet and wheel with you.
Got any questions on ice climbing places, books or gear, feel free to give me a call or e-mail. I know some areas that are pretty cool, that freeze over in certain conditions and aren't mentioned anywhere at all.

Hey Shutuphippie
On the vehicles suspension:
I don't think that anyone on this site has ever knowingly or willingly altered their suspension on their vehicles. I, for one, would never consider it, and I bet nobody else would either. Am I right or what?
Speaking of which...
Hey Pathrat
Who is going to do your suspension lift and what kind is it? Send me an e-mail or call
