Pictures from snow wheeling on the 18th

Yeah I've heard of that trick before.... I think just putting the spare on would be just as easy though.

 

Kinda wish I had that on video... lol. I cut two cookies and barreled through that deep shit before I slid into the ditch. Thought I had more room! Haha

 

Wish I'd been there for that alone. LOL

 

That looks like it's between Capps Crossing and Pebble Canyon (on the way back down from Capps Crossing). If that's the case, then you guys made it at least up above 5K feet.

 

brian had some sort of elevation meter on his phone and im pretty sure he said it was above 6000'

 

What fun is there in that

Seriously, it does work really well.

 

I have gone down to 10 psi before in the snow. You really don't have to worry about popping beads unless your driving fast and turning erractically.

 

Hmm, I wonder if you made it all the way to Alder Creek Rd then? Long straight away with some tiny hills until you climb up a fairly steep stretch. Alder Creek goes off to the North in the last dip (it reaches hwy 50 across the bridge at the campground just west of Kyburz where the passing lane is). That's usually as high as we can go in late spring/early summer. I've thought that Alder Creek Rd might be a good one to do when the gates are open in spring. Start at Kyburz and go up to MET...all on dirt roads.

 

the steep stretch is likely where we got stuck and ultimatley turned arond

that looks too cold for me. i wouldnt leave the dam house

 

6600 feet is what I read when I turned my GPS on my phone, and no its not A-GPS, had a fix on 10 sats We were just starting out when I turned it on, so I know we climbed nearly a thousand feet after that.

 

You know, no ones said anythign about when Cha got stuck! LoL.... tell us about that one! We kept going up the hill and I looked back and you were gone. You friend said you called on the radio sayin you were stuck

 

That looked like alot of fun. I wish it would snow in PA. we only had 3" of snow this whole year

 

I didn't get stuck. I spun around on ice. Ice sucks.

 

Yeah, I don't know if the actual road name is Capps Crossing Rd at the lower MET end...basically the first and only paved road to Capps Crossing from MET after Bonetti Rd (all others are dirt roads including the one just before Silver Fork Rd at the top). Same road we did our first Snow Wheelin' run (uh, recovery day run) last year. So I was definitely talking below Piliken. But it sure looks like it could be that stretch along Alder Creek Rd.

 

hey brain .... more comments from pirate

 

i wouldn't mind doing a run up icehouse road soon.

Here's a pic i stole from pirate from last weekend by the rubicon area, lots of opportunities out there.

Miraculously he didn't roll.

 

I might be heading back out this Sunday..........

 

nice, im headed for vegas for a job interview
