Yes, we handed out info to 15 or so vehicles but most were regular SUVs who never should have been up there. I think the plowing led people to believe the road was open.

Brad,

Out of that 15 vehicles would you say that 13 were turned around?

I'm counting the other 3 being those that continued on MET, Red Jeep that we pulled out, Red Toyota that was called by stuck Red Jeep, and the Camo Jeep.

I don't know if that was mentioned, but that Red Toyota was called in to help the Red Jeep. He kept trying to go around our group as we were getting ppl unstuck (Greg, Jonathan).

We talked to the red camo Toyota, a camo YJ, a red TJ, a Green Toyota pick up, and that was about it who went up. The rest turned around.

Here's my longer clip to show the conditions. Turn around point was finding the Red Jeep stuck where Jeff, Greg, and Bill got them out.

Great clip Carl. Is that some kind of steady cam mount? That was a smooth video and it didn't seem to move with the truck?

It was mounted on my tripod. The tripod was bungee'd to my rack, where I had a beanie b/t them to dampen it a bit. Upon uploading it to YouTube I choose to let them "stabilize" it. So it removes some frames giving it that smooth effect.

I may put up the original to show for comparison.

What is tough is the lighting from the tree shadows. Kind of strobe like...and I start to get my disco on. 😀 While Angie felt a littl embarassed a couple times.

Thanks to all for the "welcome to the club" Lori and I had a great time. My son Timothy enjoyed himself also. Lori had so much fun that she even hinted to turn my "back up parts" Samurai into ,her words here, "a hard core" off road 4x4. Maybe after I get the transfer gears in mine, and the pumpkin protectors.

Whatever happened to George? I heard it was an engine problem?

Did we score brownie points with USFS etc.? Including the sled time...

Here I am! I was on a plane returning from Denver and couldn't post. I was hoping to be back in time for the run but didn't make it out Friday night. My jeep is down (again), but I fugured I could simply grab an open seat in the buggy....lol

Kyle was VERY appreciative of the job you guys did and asked me to send him pictures, and also needs us to sign a roster sheet at the next mtg.

Thanks everyone for showing up and doing a GREAT job!

Cool, great news!!

I should have had you check on my house in LIttleton had I known! 😀

Thanks George

If it helps any, I've done some engine work on mine and Jeff's, but not knowing your issues; still let me know if there is something you think I could help with.
