Snow Wheelin This Weekend. Uncle Toms

65th Street in Sac? I'm up in Plumas Lake.. that's a bit out of the way.


Not positive where I'm going yet. Might head up near Grass Valley and check out that area.

 

oh yea, thats far for you! if u change your mind you are welcome to join us bro

 

Heh, predictions of possible snow in sac tonight and tomorrow morning

 

I'm stoked!
So what rigs have winches and recovery gear? Anyone other than me?
Also, does anyone have full-length shovels that they could bring? I got stuck in snow once and I just have a little collapsible shovel and the guy who pulled me out had a full-length one that worked A LOT better.
I'm thinking I might go get some sand, too, but I haven't decided yet...I'll have to get that in the morning, though, Ace is already closed.

 

I looked at the map, it looks like a 2 lane highway up the mountain to this place and that's it?

 

Correct!^^^

Bring that nice truck out

I know Jason has straps, and my buddy does too. No winches tho other than you Im bringing A full sized shovel....I picked up 3 sandbags tonight...total of 120 pnds.....hope thats enough

 

Alright, cool. What kind of sand do you get? Just the cheapest stuff? Does the coarseness matter? I haven't researched this, just know that sand is good to have in snow.

 

oooh.you mean for under the tires in case we get stuck....ummm, i bought sand bags for the rear of my bed...but in case we needed some we can use what i got...i bought the cheap crap...3 bucks for 60 pnds...i dont think im prepared but the good thing is its only gonna be about a foot and a half....we should be ok









I hope

 

Yeah, I have a heavy campershell for weight back there, so I was just gonna get like 1 sand bag, but yeah, if we do get stuck then the weight can act as traction, too. Also good for ice. I'll do some research right now.
Anyone else want a sand bag? I can pick a few up at Ace tomorrow morning.

 

I think we should be ok....time for bed...im an old man.lol

 

I kept 4 50lb sandbags in the bed of my Tacoma last winter and it seemed to do the trick. I don't think that 1 bag is going to be a noticeable improvement.

 

I think we're going to head out towards Grass Valley and mess around up there. Might bring some guns and hit the range in the afternoon.

Anyone know of any trails out off of highway 20 or in that area?

 

Wish I could, but promised to help hang Christmas lights tomorrow morning (although that might not happen with this weather).

 

Just got back to Davis. Awesome day! I've never done snow wheeling like that before. I even still have some snow on my rear bumper! You guys that filled the beds with snow probably have most of it still.

 

We went out to some creek bed outside of Nevada City today. Had a bit of fun.

 

We had a blast! The duratracs really impressed me. But what impressed me the most was Frenando's stock height truck made it through some pretty deep stuff.

 

Looks like so much fun.

 

Hell yea Jason!! What a blast bro!!! At first I was like and then i was like LOL

Im glad we kept going

Super fun bro!! Good times Kevin

Looks fun bro

 

Nice to meet you Kevin! Can't wait until the next time.

 

Nice to meet you, too!

I'll get my pictures up later today.
