Couldn't beat the weather, but the snow was miserable. I can't believe how far up you guys went! I thought the whole point was to stay low and count usage. I'll never take the Ford on another run like that. Talk about feeling abused!

Did you guys go the same place as last time? It was really warm in Folsom, I bet you had a great time.

We had a great time, it was a beautiful day! We went up to where we were last ime, which was a little tougher to get to this time, but still not a huge deal.



On my way out I started feeling a vibration in the driveline. I'm not sure U-Joints are supposed to look like this . . . .

Looks well used. That picture is after you cleaned all the grease out...right? 😀

I thought that zirk fitting was just for looks. You mean you're supposed to put grease in it? 😳 😲



I just greased them during New Years. I usually lube everything every 3 months. It was already bone dry.

No one's saying much about this trip - what happens at Snow Patrol stays at Snow Patrol. 😂

I still need to do a write up on it. The short version is we had a pretty good turnout, went up high, and had a great time! Oh, we counted about 25 vehicles, and 1 "other".

I can't believe that none of the pictures of me burying the Ford have made it up yet. 😂

I saw the pics in the photo album
