    Call me lazy or whatever, I would've waited for the grader to tug me out.

    This morning's DV update is sounding mixed. Positive on the open roads side but negative on the weather front.

    Looks like Trona-Wildrose is closed to the kilns and Mahogany Flat. I'm heading to the area soon and need to figure out where I'm going.
