Once you get off the highway isnt it left under the highway.

I believe you are right Kevin! Those were the directions from California Jeeper...I fixed it.

Depending on weather I might have the titan up there so if you see my hardbody left on the side of the road Im off testing the titan

Just thought I would let you guys know we are expecting weather up here. Sunday thru Friday. Could be a good storm to. Man, I wish I could go with you guys.

Have fun, drive safe and Happy Holidays


Casper

I just came down from up north not much snow even up high maybe a foot to foot and half. Made fun for riding 4wheelers on . On the way back down it was starting to snow.

So...are we making a quick stop at North Bay as well? :rolleyes:

Darn elitist XTerra owners....

- Matt

Fresh Snow!!!!!!
I may get to use that winch this time!!!!

This trip is still on!

Just called Josh and he said it looks like there will be snow falling, but nothing that will stop us from going up and wheelin.

Are you guys meeting polarbear at best buy. If so then i will meet you there. With the snow Im not chaining two vechiles up to go up the mountain.

Yeah, we can make a quick stop. I'm hoping to get moving so if you guys can be ready to go that would be great.

Best Buy
1547 Gateway Blvd.
Fairfield, CA 94533

See you guys there around 8:30?

Works for me. I still may tow up If 80 isnt requiring chains But I will still meet at best buy.

Just thought I would report from the summit. It has been snowing all day, but only left about 2 inches. It is supose to snow all night, but only leave a few inches. I will be at work just about 6:45 or 7:00. Huey or Akio if you want to call me and get a morning report go ahead. I can let you know what fell over night.

Have fun and drive safe.

Casper

P.S. Call me if you guys have any problems.

Thanks, Josh!

I'm in... last minute, I know.

Hey, my back bumper is already busted from a car that hit me while parked... if I hit a tree, I'll just charge it to the insurance!!

Look forward to meeting everyone. I'll be at the Safeway in Rocklin.

What a wild trip down the mountain.

Ws took the long way, down 20..
got us here about the same time..
saw one truck off the road, driver wasn't there so we moved on.

We're finally at home at 8:20 pm.

It was a very eventful trip. Had a great time.

Sonny, how was the I-5?

What an awesome day!! It was great to have met you all. Hope to join you again for another trip!!

Thanks for all of your help along the trail.

Becky

At least you guys didnt get rear ended up there.

What happened to you, Becky? Were you guys w/ Huey/Matt group, or by yourself?

As Kevin is saying about "hits (as accidents)," we got hit by a blizzard...very hard. There were accidents all over right around Donner Pass. It was a huge mess. We did have fun while waiting on the freeway for it to open up, though.
