hoping for snow wheeling soon!

 

The only days I have off that are on this list are Sundays. I work 10 hour days Wed-Sat

 

Christmas tree run?

 

Perhaps. I've never been snow wheeling

 

Subbed

 

I’m in for that for sure. There is a separate thread in this PNW forum on that topic

 

im back on the 16th so late month trail run would be nice.... possibly winter 1 or 2 nighter

 

I would prefer not to organize a trail run for the 'Monthly Meet'. Especially now that it's winter, group size should really be limited to 4 (maybe 5 rigs).

But don't let that discourage y'all from setting up runs using this thread. If there's a date that people are showing a lot of interest in for run, I'll add that info to the OP and whoever is leading that grou can set up a PM thread with those interested for details.

I find it more ideal that the 'Monthly Meet' is something that isn't rig/driver limiting and that a large group can attend. (Hence why I tend to plan these meet n' greet type get togethers).

 

@JimSnell and I had some "fun" snow/ice wheeling last night -_- Needless to say, I'm ready for summer.

 

I drove back from John Day Oregon yesterday/last night. Rolled rigs and other wrecks the entire trip. Just north of Yakima when you get to that peak there was a double spin out. Of course when we got to I-90 pass it was a parking lot and countless accidents. We stopped at the rest area and three cars in the parking lot had significant rear end damage. I finally bought chains but still never used them.

 

I am mostly wanting to just meet others in the area... maybe we can do a "meet" sometime. Taco's and Coffee day or something.

 

We did stampede to greenwater. It was fun.

 

I'm game. And also so very sorry for this "meme"

 

are saying you don’t want organized monthly runs in the winter? I will still be organizing them, like I have for the past 6+ months. We’re going on a Christmas tree/ snow run this weekend.

 

The way I read it, she's setting it up for you to be able to do exactly that. I actually like having a central spot like this where those runs can be set up in addition to the meetup. Makes it way easier to keep track of what and when is happening where.

 

I like having a single place to see meets and runs, while I am more interested in meets then runs I am not against runs, just not wanting to take a brand new $45K Tacoma in tight trails where damage may happen

 

I get that feeling. Meg and I both had close calls last night.

 

If you all are going on a more leisure trail (specially for new people like me) I am all up for that. My goal for the truck is eventually getting a bed rack (Looking at RCI) and "Roof top" tent and do some camping off of trails. I have a Diamond Back (SD) on way and going the route "Last Line of Defense" (Youtube creator) went with his rack and setup... but that will not be this year for sure. I am hoping to start by end of next year, want to do it right so will take a bit to get geared up.

 

If you're looking for snow, Stampede Pass area!!
