Snow bashing

Postby Rox Crusher » Tue Mar 10, 2015 5:11 am

How soon do we want to get a snow bashing run together

After the last couple of weeks, It certainly deserves it

If I can get my engine noise figured out, I would LOVE to do this. I am itching to get on the trails and need some sort of a shake down run with a group of guys capable of towing me out if needed. Something tells me that BSD could be up to the task.

Glad to see so much interest.

Sometime next couple of week ends is what I had in mind.

I'm pretty open to going with group concensus.

Anual fly fishing trip may be that weekend. If so, one of the optionss is Cheeseman Canyon

If the weather and/or fishing sucks a day snow bashin makes a nice alternative. Otherwise....

Nope. Your rig will do just fine.

I can't answer directly, but this the road/trail that we take in. Maybe check out Google map or earth to find a spot.

Hopefully someone will post up if they've parked a trailer near by.

So we're saying early start on Sunday, March 22nd to the gulches.

Should we meet somewhere or just at the trail head ?

What time ?

Here's a good parking area for truck and trailer:

BUT!!! Tie everything down. Your rig should be safe during the day, but just make sure it's locked and nothing valuable is exposed.
