2 weekends ago there was a group that ran the lower 311 to the campground.

4runner. TJ needs a steering box and trans.

Main gate is open. Road to the campground is still blocked and closed. Road and 1st parking lot has 12" of snow and it was snowing heavily today. There were only 2 vehicles up there today and one was stuck and winching in the parking lot. Tow rigs will get stuck until it warms up for a few...

Long bumpy drive for a possible closed gate. Are you going up Tony?

I can give the road engineer a ride up in my truck if that is what the hold up is. Do you know his name? Rent me a dozer and I will cut in a new road for free.

At the meeting did they say what the plan to fix the road was?

I called and talked to the lady at the front desk (360-825-6585 ext 0) and she said May 1st at the soonest. They are waiting for the snow to melt and the engineer is still engineering a road fix.

I see new for sale ads on Craigslist with rigs on the old trails. :corn:

A full width Ford Dana 60 front with 12.5 wide tires is about 78" wide. Full width Chev Dana 60 with the same tires and wheels is right at 80". Most Dana 70 or 14 bolt rears are a few inches narrower. The poles and trails are no problems, just don't run a wide wheel or tire.

Nice to see the progress. :hi:

Good to hear. What are the vehicle recommendations for those color trails?

Anyone know if the trails are open? They were this time last year. Thanks

Thanks for the update. :hi:
