Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION on this run. Based on what I and others have seen in the McLean Creek and Moose Mountain areas in the past three days, this will be a VERY challenging run. You will be encountering deep snow (4 feet in some places), icy areas, and in bare patches you'll see two inches of slicked-up mud on top of hard frozen ground. It will be extremely easy to slide off the trail, and into deep, ugly, sloppy snow. Leave lots of room when climbing or descending hills, and be very wary of off-camber sections.

Please ensure that each rig has a shovel and recovery gear - you are going to need it! Also, please ensure that each person has appropriate (waterproof) footwear becasuse it is going to be seriously wet and sloppy.

I wish I could come out and join the fun, but unfortunately all my visits to that area during April are work related...including one tomorrow   >:(
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

It's a good idea to bring extra clothes, boots, food and water.  I'd rather have to much stuff with me than not enough...

Well I'm out. 

Started this morning  on what I thought might be a toasted wheel bearing...turned out be be a seized ujoint....so I replaced both joints, and since the shafts were out I figured I might as well replace a seal that starting weeping a few weeks ago....then I found a bad carrier bearing which led to mucking around with my limited shim selection for too long to get to the parts store for new tre's which I also found to be less than perfect. ::)

No more winter DD for my jeep  ;D

Have a good run
