Its kind of hard to say.... Theres definitely snow up there (see flip.flops 4 corners post!!!) so it kind of depends on how far we make it, what we encouter, who gets stuck (Ok that will be me getting stuck), any issues etc... Dinner time.... maybe... but then that depends on what time you eat dinner. Come on Bill... Do it!!

I want to be off the mountain and back at the Chelatchie store no later then 4pm due to it getting dark so early. Also, feel free to bring any rig. The snows not too deep yet, and I am taking my XJ which is open front and rear as like some of us. All vehicles are welcome. This is a mild snow run so dont be discouraged. I grabbed some hot dog buns, Ketchup, mustard, relish. Feel free to bring any dish you would like to have. Bring your own drinks, just no alcohol

if its one thing i learned with ANY run is that you cant really put a time on anything. sure its good to have a round about time you would like to be back but no one can say what will happen during any outing. sounds fun but im gonna pass till there is more snow

Who has the bell. I will bet it finds a new home tomorrow.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow.
I just spent an hour trying to get the Jeep grill to work. Bad regulator. Sooo we will just have to be happy with the grill grill. It's a jeep thing, what can I say

I was up in the area today with the TJ. I started about a hour late ( finish winch install) & didn't find you guys! Had a great time doing some UUUMMMMM roads in the area. Caught up to some jeeps & Toyota's that were doing OK but they had 37"+ tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So a brand new winch is now on the front of the jeep. SSSSooooooooooooooooo guess how I use it on it's first 4x4 run? On a stuck Suburban in about 1.5' snow!
2 + feet of snow at the higher elevations. Snow line was about 2,300 feet. 33" tires are sure fun when you actually have to drive! Turned around due to the lack of progress behind the slow pokes & played in an area further south.
Contact me directly for exact routes & how FAR I got!

Umm you mean FR 54 right ?? Yah I've/we've done that route before if you have very capable rigs aired down to single digits and selectable lockers & chainsaw's it is possible to go up the FR42 over to FR 38 and then down to FR 42. You would see the most elevation going that way. But taking the FR 54, to FR 37, then over to FR 53 which will enventually spit you out on FR42 (heading south/east.) I highly recommend chainsaw's, but a few bow saw's and limb lober's would suffice. All of those roads are rarely cleared or maintained and really get over grown in the summer. I'll post Friday whether or not I can tag along, I've got quite the honey-do list at the moment. flip.flop well i guess its not a secrete anymore fry call me on these ones will ya. Sounds like fun.
