Im back in town for days off id like to tag along,whats the plan? Last time i was at mclean though anything less than 40" tires would be difficult. I dont know where to go though. I was thinking of going to waiporous and check out Spraylakes handywork.

No plan really , just seeing if anyone wants to get out. Mclean has plenty to offer in terms of easier trails plus I have not been there all winter. Given the snow however even simple trails might be a challenge? Depends on how much melts, in which case it will be very muddy and certainly slushy.

I'd defintely think AT's or preferably MT's with good tread would be important for this particular weekend

It would be the usual meet at the Mclean store at 9:30 choose a trail (depending on conditions) and go run it.

Hopin on a few more replies before the weekend here, saturday or sunday is still fine.

I realize its hard to commit to anything without the details so lets make it Sunday 9:30am at the Mclean store. Just a casual run.... in the mud/snow

Basic Requirements

Tow points Front and Rear
AT's or MT's with decent tread
30-31's should be fine

We can decide on a trail once we see who all comes out, if anyone feels the urge to lead thats fine by me.

"how many people are going?"
So far what you see is what you get, I already scheduled the weekend around the run being sunday, so i couldn't make it Sat anymore. As for trail difficulty,  it depends on who shows but nothing crazy.

I'm in, I have planned an evening with my parents so I am rested in the morning ;)
I just bought my first Jeep a month ago (07 Rubicon), I have never been on a trail ride. I really look forward to going.
