hmmm... The Conoco @ Morrison and 470 might be a good place to meet on Fri/Sat.

If you all don't mind goin kinda slow up hills then i'll tag along (33's and stock gearing really sucks). Either way is cool. I just gotta make sure i can catch the tailwind from 'youngbuck'...lol

btw, do you need a locker for Twin Cone?

Ric you have way more power than him...

Twin Cone needs no locker for summer driving, but in the snow, i think one will be nessesary...that being said, i'm gonna give it a try, and if its a no go, i'll park it...

Okay, so count so far is this:

Friday: Ric, Jay, Rocket, Youngbuck
Sat: Ric, Jay, Travis
Sun: Ric, Dekri, Jay, Eric, Van7559

I'm more than likely not gonna be there on sunday, unless my boss pulls his head outta his ass...

nope, boss's head is firmly implanted.

chicks dig nice trucks with glass to keep them warm and cushy suspension to keep them comfy.

If its okay with him, we'll have ric bring up the rear so he can winch the rest of us out when we get bogged down.

spoke with byron, he said some of his friends went up to oldstage road (eagle rock) to do a little snowboarding, and he said there is a good amount of snow. Hopefully it will warm up, and melt that ÅÅÅÅ.

If its snowy I might not do it either. Im not a fan of snow runs. So if its snowy I might just stay in town and skateboard.

I've only gone all the way "through" 285 once last year. If your familiar with Google Earth...is the conoco right at or after County Road 64?

I Find myself wishing i could afford snow claws or chains right now.

I'm bringing a towstrap. I have a feeling it'll be used despite the excellent forecast.
