Utah: 5-Mile Pass December 26/27

Anyone interested in running out to 5-mile pass on December 26th or 27th? I'll be up in Eagle Mountain, Ut visiting my sister for Christmas and want to hit this area up again.

We got like 2" this week but there's more on the way. They won't say how much yet. It should be two solid days of snow

How are these trails for a stock rig? I've always wanted to check out this area, but never had a chance to. IF I could go, I'd prefer the 27th.

5-Mile Pass and Little Moab are where I first started wheeling. I had no problems in my stock 96 toyota 4runner. You should be okay.

any Utonian wheel around Bicknell or in the Boulders?? There is a great trail up to Eagle City. I am in Sanpete County during the summer and we have some good trails up 12 mile.

Man, I love my wife! The 27th is her birthday, and she said we could go wheelin'. I'm up for the 27th, if it's not a blizzard or something. The last couple of days have been pita commuting. I also invited a guy from work, he has a FJ. Haven't seen any new posts, lately?!?!?

The only thing that will stand in my way is if my buddy takes me to Snowbird on the 27th. Other than that, I'm good to go

Watch out for those avalanches.

I went up to Brighton today. Glad skiing season's finally here.

Here's the information:

Date: Saturday December 27th, 08
Meeting Location: Maverik Gas Station 9217 North Ranches Parkway, Eagle Mountain, UT (left hand side of the road)
Time: Meet at 9am, head out about 9:15am we should be done with the run around 11am. Longer if want to play around some.

Look for a green 4runner with Az plates and an aftermarket front bumper.

I have no CB at the current time. If anything changes I'll let you all know.

Here's the map of the general area we will be covering:

I'd like to get a CB by then. If not, I do have a couple FRS radios.

Is the beginning of that GPS track Rattlesnake? I've heard it's pretty rough. I guess you've been there before. I haven't yet.

Nope we will not be heading hitting rattlesnake or constrictor trails on this run. I've never run those trails and I wouldn't want to go though them with stock vehicles. The route soon on the map is just a big loop that other trails branch off from.

I know the turnoff for rattlesnake though.
