I'd go Mark, if I didn't have to attend BIL's funeral. If you do trips in the future let me know, I'd likely join you. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Are you going to Cow Mountain on the 25th? I'll be on that run.

i dont think we're gonna do the whole trail as the conditions might be really bad.

But it should make for some great videos and kodak momments.

Then you best call me for shortcuts back to 50....the pass at Emerald Bay has been closed for a week. You'll have to go all the way to Incline and down. Were talkin, 6-7 hours.

Or take Sierra College to (left on)Douglas to (right on) Auburn/Folsom to 50. It's faster.

Thanks for the tip! I was going to take 49 back to 50 (Yahoo directions http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif). Seemed like the long way. Just remapped it with Google and it takes me down Sierra College. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

whew... today was awesome!

Pretty much stayed on the green and blue trails. The blue trails had a mud consistancy like cement!

We also played on the 4x4 obsticle course. I tried the step again but couldnt do it today. it was slippery and no traction. I didnt want to mash like the rest. I was afraid of bottoming out. I swear, i'm gonna lift this thing soon!

My friend in his Frontier did really well! He's truck was lifted so he just mashed up the step ladder and made it. He said it was one bumpy ride!

stay tuned for pics and video!!!

ciao

there was, but no help as traction was crap for me with the stock tires.
