491 on 10-3!
After what feels like 40 days and 40 nights of rain, we decided to move our 491 trip back a week.
The early roster is Nick, Jamie, Ryan from TORC and me. The more the merrier! Robert

You know what mudd means spelled backwards???
It was a muddy mess last trip.. Got the video to prove it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HGP0snt-nQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCJN_xFx0oY Course certain wheelers with brand new winches may want to go muddin'.. Nick

Okay, it's probably because I'm thoroughly lit, but that just struck me as funny as hell...

Theres a big difference in wheeling and muddin'.... I'm for wheeling in the mudd and in all weather conditions.
I don't like Muddin'.... It's not fun to me. You spend more time winching and hours of cleaning the mudd off the jeep. ( Last time I had 6 hours of cleaning) Thats not to say I never go muddin' Just not today. Nick

Huh, I guess I'm just the opposite.
I didn't mind the mud. We've done it sloppy as hell, and had a blast. I just didn't want to wheel/winch/recover in the rain. I'd rather wheel in the snow than the rain... Robert

It's been a good day..
Changed a gas tank in a car. Made some mudflaps for the jeep.(Go ahead I know what your thinking) Cleaned up the garage. Cut the grass. Now I'm kicking back with a margarita.. Oh Yeah,almost forgot my jeep looks pretty clean right now..... Nick

Completely agree, snow wheeling is awesome...
And if you have heat it's even better... Man I miss wheeling.

Should be a muddy good time and worth a mention at the meeting... Based on the temperature you all won't see my swimming shorty-shorts. Nick

Had a blast!
Just enough mud to keep it interesting, and just enough carnage to show we were there. Helluva weekend! Robert

Da Rockies got muddy.. It was a blast guys .. Thanks for the bail out on the mud hole that swallowed me... It took three winches to get me out . Mine to pull me forward,Robert's to pull me side ways away from the swamp, and Ryan's to pull me out... Jamie's was on stand by... Awesome time at the 491 Nick
