Elbe Snow Run *Pics Inside*

Well last saturday me and Justin (jheyne) got out for a run to elbe. We ened up starting the Gotcha trail but only got so far with the 18" of fresh snow. I was breaking trail and a bunch of jeeps were following but they ended up turning back the dual lockers jsut werent pulling through for them. We got to a point and turned back as well we were both open front.

A little later we went down a hill and on the way back Justin slid into a ditch. I couldnt get around him and i knew if i tried to pull him out i would only pull myself in. We ended up getting the jeeps to anchor up the hill and i winched both of us up it was a pita and took 2 or 3 hours

And now for the pics finally

I know i'm saying the only way that run would be fun is in the runner, the 83 would have walked through effortlessly.. boring.

And yeah i cant wait for busy either its gonna be sweet
