Medano is a pretty easy ride for sure, but very scenic. I think the FS or Parks service ran a small bulldozer on the east side of the pass for pretty long stretch. I don't remember that side being that smooth, ever. It's almost paved enough for Subaru to drive over until the water crossings.

Re: post up your camping pics

crew looks good Gov!
trying to source some steelies and caps for mine right now, they look good on yours.
seeing how it's offically winter, took the mutts snow wheeling up a few miles from our place.
going to head up this valley, was socked in pretty good in the morning and wit all the rain lately, lotsa rocks on the road, more than i photo'ed.
road was good otherwise for the first 10 miles or so

Re: post up your camping pics

about 10 in we run into snow.
this was actually the slippery-est part. none of them tracks are new except for an atv i passed earlier, and being at the transition zone, rain/snow, was a little slick.

Re: post up your camping pics

ya, it would do some hurt it if one of them tagged you...
took the dogs snow wheeling again. tried some logging roads up Pierce mt.

first logging rd i tried was more in the sun. the road melted and froze over. all around the cross ditches was ice...and that was where i bagged out. was kinda disappointed with the snow performance of the new BF KM2's and how far i did not get. lost too much momentum slowing for the cross ditch, and on the ice they just spun. in the vid i'm not backing up at the stuck point, every time i gave it a little gas the tires just spun and i would slide backwards.....soooo....for the second time in a week had to back down a mountain rd....at least this time it was only a 1/4 mile or so

Re: post up your camping pics

so after backing down, tried another one. was more successful this time. sped up the vid cause the dogs were running along the truck and it was waaay too long.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO7k...ature=youtu.be

i stopped where i did cause there is a log gate just up the hill, and the corner is the only place wide enough to do a u-ey.

the corner is actually steeper than it looks. when i started the truck and barely moved the steering wheel, the front end started sliding down the hill...which was ok cause i was going in that direction anyways...

Re: post up your camping pics

thought we might get thru this winter relativity unscathed...but nooo, had a arctic outflow blast us for the last week. temps been hanging around -25C (-12F) plus a windchill thrown in for good measure, and dumped a couple feet of snow in some places....like our road, pretty much the only place need 4x4 as our road never gets plowed.
took the mutts out today for some snow romping

Re: post up your camping pics

as you may know, my camper fridge clapped out the other yr, almost impossible to find one, let alone one that would fit my '89 TravelMate....well, after looking for over a yr, was finally successful. so we've decided to keep the camper a little longer, we're going to kick the kid outside into a tent so me and wifey can have the overhead bunk
works perfectly, gets cold very fast, very clean, just have to change the door inlay with the one from our old one, it's woodgrain so it will match the rest of the camper.
looked at new ones, approx $1400 up here, not complaining at 300 clams for this one...
