    Never enough
    Made the drive up to Bill Moore lake today with the fam and my buddy Rob. Overall it was a fun day. There were lots of side by sides but no one was acting a fool so it was all good. Passed by a broken down jeep (lol) with a cracked radiator. Also saw a 2WD Volkswagen bus headed up when we were almost down. Needless to say they didn't make it very far and we saw them come back down as I was airing back up. Pretty cool looking van though.

    So McClellan is open to the top...Argentine not quite there yet. Creek is over flowing nicely to make the beginning part fun. Was a great start to the day as we did a twilight run up red cone after.

    FYI Medano pass is closed.

    Was just gonna load up the truck & head that way, till i checked the NPS website.

    Posted July 15.

    The road is currently CLOSED from the western entrance of the road to the 4th creek crossing, 6.2 miles from the western entrance. Heavy rains have washed out sections of the road. Crews are working on the road, but there is no estimate on reopening.


    Hmmm where else to go.....

    @Wishbone Runner there is a very serious lack of a someone "peeing" picture, make sure this doesn't happen again. :thumbsup:

    "I"

    He had to winch, and then we tried winching me up, but our tree anchor was ready to give up the ghost and fall on us, so we called it quits, again. Fuck that ledge.

    We didn't put too much effort into stacking, it was raining when Brett was going up, and nice and wet when I tried. Belly clearance is still the issue, getting hung up just unweights all the wheels making it that much harder.
