This will be our 1st official (but second in reality) snow patrol.

Meeting at subway/shell station in Pollock Pines, off of the Sly Park and Hwy 50 exit. Meet at 830, drivers meeting and sign-in, leave by 9.

Please post below if you are attending. This might be a good time for our chili cook-off if we have some competitors. Otherwise if a prospect wants to BBQ it up then post up.  

I'm giving a "probable" yes. Can't commit right now, but I'll get it figured out in the next couple of weeks.

I'd hate to miss a chili cook-off!!!

What's the rules???

I will be there

Well I might not make this run. Broke a axle today in the snow. . 

We will there with firewood!

I have it on my radar

Depends how many entrants we have.  Post up if you are competing.  I will put together some type of prize for the winner.

I'm in.

Do we pre-cook or cook there?

Up to you.  We generally are setting up by 10am and eating by noon so it depends how long yours needs to cook.

Kathy and I will be there.  And I offer my services as chili tester.

According to Jeff Bakken, nobody breaks in the snow!

I can assure you that anything is possible, anywhere & anytime. Beware of this in any conditions. I seem to be an expert on this subject!

Got my new axle shafts today. Upgraded too from the 1480 ujoints to 1550 ujoints. I am going to install them tonight so I will see you all on Saturday.

I'm hoping to be there!

I'll be there.

Lori and I will be going

We won’t be making this run. We have to go out of town on an urgent family matter

We were hopping to make this one but something came up but my truck will be all done with new gears and driveline so I'll be good to go and we will be on the #3 snow patrol for sure.

Can't wait to see y'all!

Current forecast is calling for off and on snow showers saturday, about 1ft of snow expected during the day.  Given the current snow conditions we might be setting up somewhere near the dam.  I will post up as we get closer with the latest forecasts so people know what to expect but right now I would say full snow gear just like you were going to spend the day on the slopes.

So far we only have 2 posted as participating in the chili cookoff.  Given the snow and unknown setup location I am thinking about moving the cookoff to the 3rd patrol. Any issues with that from our current competitors (davesjk and 2dchance) ?

Either way we will want a big fire and some warm food and drink.

I’ll be there

Cook off can wait

I will be there too.

I'll be there and possibly +2.

Looks like they are calling for good snow again. Can’t wait!  It will most likely be just me. Probably gone leave the family home on this run. I have a feeling I will be pulling out a lot of rigs.
