[QUOTE="Rock Monster, post: 33241, member: 5"] Here's where it gets interesting! [ATTACH]874.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]875.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]876.vB[/ATTACH] You can tell that we are starting to get into the nasty stuff. The ground under the snow is frozen solid and covered with about an 1 or two of sheet ice, covered in about a half a foot to a foot of powder. Oh, and woops are very decieving when they look level because of the snow. You just don't know how deep they will get. The little black spec in front is me getting the fresh line. [ATTACH]877.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]878.vB[/ATTACH] One of the snow naps he hurt his knee again so that was not so good! It was not easy to get down these hills with the ice and then the snow being frozen, you would constantly float and sink and float and sink. I was lucky enough to go first and follow rabbit tracks as opposed to tire tracks. I would have had a snow nap for sure if I had to follow tire tracks. So, we get back from riding and stoke the fire to get warm, change out of wet gear and start the beer drinking. We are waiting for Niles who went with Zman13 and I last year on our 8 day desert trip to Spangler. He is driving up from Placerville for the night to party with us and have a reunion of sorts. Niles arrives and he is called "WingDing" for a reason. Dude is a totall goofball. He brought some bottle rockets but no beer. :naughty: Never go camping without enough beer to kill a small farm animal.:smirk: We had some fun at midnight and lit off some sobe bombs along with a christmas tree. It was bright! [ATTACH]879.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]880.vB[/ATTACH] Sobe bomb video! [URL="http://s359.photobucket.com/albums/oo35/yohawn74/?action=view¤t=SSPX0024.mp4"][IMG]http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo35/yohawn74/th_SSPX0024.jpg[/IMG][/URL] After the New Years bufoonery we all crashed expecting a good days ride as more snow would be melting off. We were totally wrong and woke up to snow flurries with a new 2" on the ground and no sign of it stopping. So, at this point we decide it's game over and pack up to head home to make sure we get over the passes on the way back. [ATTACH]882.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]883.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]885.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]881.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]884.vB[/ATTACH] Squirly and I left and Zman13 and Niles were going to go wheeling their trucks. Here is some pics Zman13 took while wheeling. [ATTACH]886.vB[/ATTACH] As, we thought it was a good idea to get home as the passes were blizzard like and packing in quick.
