Talking Colorado Snow Run Video 12/31/06

Well we had an amazing day of snow wheeling with Ric, TC, CMadness and Myself. Tried to go run Yankee Hill and basically only got a 1/4 mile because the snow was so deep. We made one heck of a rescue of a Jeep. I'll let one of the guys explain those logistics!

Here is the video!!!

Ric, TC, and CMadness get some serious powder mashing!

The Jeep was pretty much disabled due to a smoked clutch, so we had to pull him out without his help. We tried winching and strapping, but couldn't make much if any progress. We ended up backing everyone out, turning around, and backing down with Ric in front of the Jeep, me in front of Ric, and Corey (cmadness) in front of me, each attached to the other. Basically, we acted as a locomotive and split the force among all 12 tires and finally got him out! It actually worked so well, they had him out before I could take pix!

Excellent pics and video Molly.
I see some "stinger" pics in there too

We had some snow like that up where we went Saturday, but Jim and I did not venture off to play in it.
We let the other guy's there have the fun.

Looks like you all had a blast there.

that was a "BLAST" and the "train" pulling out Brian, was great, if that ever happens again, we will have to make sure to get a video of it. I only took a few pics, and they aint worth putting up.
Molly, thats a great video

He he, thanks Molly
My back still hurts a little from me trying hang like you guy's

I just signed up for You Tube too, but my vid I made a few days ago is not showing up yet, and it has been 10 minutes since I uploaded it.
I take it they have to check it or something first.

I am getting a better digital camera later that will take longer vids and higher quality.
Your vids always turn out so nice.

<------- Corey, trying to "MollyWhomp" my ARB

Great video! I looked at your others, too -- you have a real talent for producing them.

On our annual trip North for Christmas we saw no snow.:cry:
