A quick report on conditions.

I took the family up to Coplay Lake this afternoon for a little snowshoeing.

The snow is very dry under the surface and does not pack well. This means it won't hold up to very much torque (granted is was still at 12psi).

Tomorrow will be very interesting.

If Keech has beadlocks (I forget), he may end up leading running about 3psi. He has the best chance of staying on top and creating wheel ruts that we can follow.

See you guys at Safeway in the morning! :thumbsup:
 






I don't have bead locks but I will run as little as 1.5 psi if some has air my compressor broke. In Moab I run 5 the whole trip
 






I resealed my front windsheild (hopefully) , last trip out I had a lot of water coming down on the inside.
I think I got my CB tuned down to sound better for you Phil.
I thought the weather man said 10% chance of rain. I have 100% right now and the past few hours. If it stays cold over there maybe we will have some fresh snow to pack down.

Gotcha covered on air
 






Radar is showing it is snowing there now.

Are you running 35's or bigger?

It was snowing at Coplay when we left at 2pm but just barely. Good news is it's snowing at Snoqualmie Pass right now.

I've got plenty of air too. All packed up and ready to go. Also found a bundle of fire wood in the back of the Ex while loading up so I'll leave that there as well. Looking forward to this run. I need out. Gonna be cold, but this will motivate my damn door project!!!
 






The next trick will be finding room for 3 trailers. I think we'll be OK but won't have all 3 in the same location.

I think there is room for 3, if the trucks with trailers pull in first and be in 4WD when pulling in.

I enjoyed myself ,it was good that I could finally make to a group run. Now see faces with the names on the site as long as there isn`t a test on names and faces . I got to see how good the ex is with open front /limited in the rear.
