I know it's short notice... we will be attempting a run from Pack Saddle Pass to MET.

We're supposed to get some precipitation at the end of the week and some sections get over 7000 ft looking at Google Maps.

We may see some snow, or it may just be a pretty drive. 

Please post up if interested.

Meet at the Subway off Sly Park Road @ 8am.

Club minimum requirements, and additionally 33" tires minimum in case there is deeper snow at the higher elevations.

BE PREPARED! I have never made it all the way through as the snow always got too deep. Bring plenty of food and water, and pack as if you were spending the night out there.

Sorry Darrell. I didn't realize it was the same day as your build party.

I'm itching to get out and this may be the only opportunity to make it all the way through. 

More precipitation in the forecast for next week.

No snow fell on us today, only rain. There were patches of snow from previous storms so it did require at least 4H without airing down. It ended up being myself, Brian & Loni, Brian’s friend Brett, Jeff B and his friend Justin, and Dave G. After getting through Pack Saddle Pass to MET, we went down North South Road and came out on 88. It was a nice casual drive. 

Highlight of the day!
