Night Snow Run 3/16

    Okay, this is my first hosted run. So go easy on me.



    We are suppose to get a lot of snow this week. The forecast is looking promising. So with the hopes of fresh powder in the mountains, I am planning a night snow run on Friday March 16th. The plan is to meet at the subway at the Sly Park exit on 50 at 7pm We will then head out to Iron Mountain and see how far we can get. There's a good chance it may still be snowing on Friday, so plan for a good time. We will wheel around, throw snow balls and generally play around and then head home around midnight.



    I would like at least 4 vehicles to confirm for this run to happen. Due to the fact it may still be snowing, it may be a long night for less modified vehicles. But you can always follow in everyone's track. Bring a good attitude and can do spirit and we will have a good time.

    Um...what?

    I thought about us grabbing dinner or something before hand, but I want people that get off work at 5 to be able to meet up with the crew. If the group wants to meet earlier and grab some food at like 6, I'm down.

    Um...what?

    Huck's jeep is likely down for the next week to 10 days for his upgrade.



    I have plans for early on the 17th so I can't do this Friday. I would be up for the next effort on this run however.

    what about Sat or Sun? This storm is supposed to hang around for quite a while (assuming it ever actually gets here 😛)

    I would have to talk to the wife about either of those days. But I had a blast on our last night snow run.



    If people chime in and want a different day we can explore that option.

    Um...what?

    Went out Iron Mountain today to see how far I could go... Was very disappointed in the lack of snow up there. Went all the way through to 88. We made it almost to Silver Fork Rd before actually needing 4wd. That is 4-5 miles from 88. There were lots of play areas to have fun in, but since it was just Logan and I, we decided to stay on the main road and not get too crazy. On the way back out, we did stop at the mud hole at Park Creek Rd. Water was over the top of my 35's



    I am hoping for this week to bring lots of new snow. I can run out there Thursday and let you know how its looking... Might think about going down Silver Fork Road back to Kyburz. It didnt look like anyone had been down that way...

    How did you get all the way to 88? Didn't they have the gate closed above silverfork? Usually Alpine county closes the gate on 1/1.



    Snowmobiles carry a lot of weight on that side of the hill.

    Me and a bunch of guys are heading into the Rubicon this Friday night and coming out Sunday. Any other weekend and I would have been interested.

    Please chime in, we would love to have you. So far it looks like just Jeff and I. I have a buddy who is a maybe. So I'm still looking for 2 more rigs to make this run happen.

    I've got changes with work that make it possible to free up for this. So I'm a yes unless the white towel is being tossed.

    I also have a coworker interested in going. He lives in Placerville so makes it easy for him.



    We both have Friday off, so if moving the time up helps any, say the word.
