Spring Strawberry Trail Maintenance Run - Sunday May 22

I'll be there to help out.  Not sure how my Jeep will keep up with everyone else, but if necessary I don't mind riding along with someone.

Bowing out.  I messed up and put the wrong date on my calendar.  Have commitments on Sunday.  Sorry for the late notice.

Might have fresh snow!!! Cold, Rain, Hail, Thunder, Lightning in Garden Valley right now...

It's snowing to 5500' currently.  Should be a great day!

Wohoo sounds like it's gonna be a good day.

Priorities man come on !

Question for us first timers: what is the trail like? Meaning how difficult is the terrain, etc?

I'm planning on wearing blue jeans and a jacket, some type of boots. Bringing gloves and a lopper which is basically all I think I have that would help. Bringing lunch and water.

Does that cover the bases?

Also, since my diesel Suburban does not have tow points, I assume that I should not bring it. Correct? Thanks!

The suburban might be a tight squeeze, but yes tow points are a must.

Loppers, gloves and a trash bag is all you need.

Can a jeep wrangle on 31"s with open diffs do ok on strawberry.

The big thing about this run is Maintanence. We are on the trail to do work. We don't want to spend the day winching and working on vehicles. There will be snow. We most likely won't make it all the way through. In he past we have spent more time wheeling then maintaining. And we need to keep focused on the purpose of these runs.

You can bring it and park it at the trailhead.

Well that's why I pretty much was asking. Is that going to be something that holds us up a great deal or not in people's opinions. It is a coworker that is looking to join the club.

Darrell and Jill said We will be there.

Sorry we won't be there, I have to work. Have a good time ya'll.

Home!  Fun day with fun people!!  I really wanted to go all the way through...Maybe on the Maintenance run 2.0.😎

We are home now.  Great day.  Lots of laughter.. Great people.  Thank u Trail-master for organizing the work party. And the run up Pack Saddle Pass was a blast.  4 rigs wound up going to Plummers Ridge and it was amazing! So beautiful.  Found a new camp ground that's super clean and 4 million and 1 roads to explore.  Come on summer time!

We missed u guys today!  And ur trailer full of goodness. Lol.

We made it home by 8pm with plenty of day light left.  it was a wonderful day lot of fun people our group work well together.  Thanks Kris for organizing the trip, and thanks Brad for the run up Pack saddle pass it was a blast.  thanks to everyone that ran up Plumbers ridge that was fun.

Thank you everybody for making our first 4 wheel drive outing a blast!  Both Paula and I had a really good time!  My Jeep is no longer a Mall Crawler... I put a small scuffs in the Diff cover, the skids got used and a few rim dings... However, the experience and fun was priceless!  We look forward to more adventures with you folks!

Hey, that was fun! If you ever need to find me, just follow the trail of tranny fluid to my door. . .

Beautiful scenery, nice folks, fun day. Ditto on the "mall crawler," I know I bashed my diffs a few times too many . . . live and learn.

Special thanks to my trail-mates Jeff/Sharkbyte and "Mrs. Sharkbyte," "Mike 1 AKA Newcastle Mike," Travis, and "Mike 2 AKA New York Mike."

As always, thanks to Brad, Greg, Jeff, Kris and the other club leadership for putting up with us rookies. I look forward to many more runs. . . my kids were furious to learn that I was gone all day with the 4x4 club and they didn't get to go.

That was a really great time!  Thanks everyone who made it.

Please post some pics in a gallery if you took any.  I need some pics of people working for the writeup for the FS.

Hey Kris,

I've posted a few pictures of our group 2 working on the road leading up to the trail.  I don't have any of work being done on the trail.  Sorry.  😐
