That is pretty hardcore accident avoidance

Yeah, a couple guys I work with live in Eagle Mountain and they're telling me the same thing. I'm just wondering if anything at Lil Moabs going to be doable even with a couple inches of snow.

My point exactly... at least at rattlesnake you can get down the trail, explore around. At little Moab if you cant climb the one huge rock due to snow, day over. I'm pretty sure I and a few others are doing 5 mile if anybody is interested in that.... 10:00 at Chevron.

Pretty scary!
But ice under snow+no abs= creative thinking. Plus have no bumper which would have been the end of my jeep.

so this is what ive been posting on all the other forums for this weekend...

So ive talked to a few people and were thinking of changing the run and heading out to 5mile instead which would be better if we have as many rigs show up as its looking like, but this will be discussed at chevron once everyone shows up. Also i cant remember if i mentioned this or not but their will be a grills out there so if anyone wants to bring something to throw on it feel free to.


thanks
mike

Anybody here have a car dolly I can borrow (perferrable tomorrow) so I can go pick up my jeep that has a blown head gasket? Please let me know. I would be forever in your debt.
