Last snow trip of the year was a good one
Well…my last trip up to the snow for 2006 was a great run and an even better way to put an end to the year. We made it up to Pinoli Ridge that looks out over the dam’s of both Bowman Lake and Lake Spaulding. It was a beautiful day and the there was about 3 feet of snow or more at the top.
I only got stuck one time and it was only because I was fooling around and got what I deserved….
I went with two other rigs first was Chad’s Chevy Blazer. It’s a clean truck with a 4″ lift and 35″ super swampers. This was his first time out in the snow, so he got stuck a few times learning the ropes of snow. All in all he and his truck did very well and it was nice to get out with him for a day.
Then there was my usual companion Tim in his very built Toyota. It does good and he is starting to really get good at driving it. I’m proud of him, almost. Tim and I have recently started wheeling together quite a bit, but we have been friends for 10 years or more now. We started our outdoor journeys out with a backpacking trip to Lower Scotts Flat lake as kids. We always had fun then, and we do now.
So anyways, it was a nice trip, no one got hurt and nothing broke. It was nice to spend some time with friend in the high country and I’m sure that there will be much more of this kind of activity this winter. I’m just hoping the snow keeps coming and makes a good snow pack, so that we can have nice and full lakes and streams this summer!
