a few pics from today's run with 16 hummers

airing down.

made it up to 6000 feet. the jeeps behind us quit somewhere around 5000

i love this state - well, except for the bull$hit . . . . . . .

just one of the beautiful views. the pic just doesn't do it justice, but it's the best i've got.

chris, before you rag on me, i learned that if you connect the winch control and lay it on the dash before you hit the snow - you'll never need it.

we had a fair amount of recovery work on the trip. if you got off the center of the road you sank in pretty deep, there was anywhere from 3 to 4' of snow on the road. we had a few trucks up to the rockers and resting on the skidplates. in all it was a great run, good group of people and a good mix of hummers.

no ground squirrels this trip - but we saw 3 deer on the scout run last weekend

If the trail has much difficulty to it 16 is a lot of trucks. Takes awhile to get them all through so you spend a lot of time spotting/waiting. On an easy run the number of trucks isn't much of an issue. I know what you mean though, get more people involved.
