Just like anything, you have to set aside days to do that sort of stuff. I have several more things to replace on my Jeep before I will trust it with long trips but for now I still enjoy exploring locally.

We used to quite a bit, but this past year and a half has presented us with huge challenges and DAILY responsibilities we are stuck to. It's a mess and I would never have thought so many different things could happen all at once like this. You just wouldn't believe this list. I have to chuckle a bit when someone mentions they are having a problem, "only one? get a load of this list I got!" lol

Off work today so I did a little 4-low wheeling. Nothing too extreme but I did drag the receiver a couple of times, which is always a good reminder to keep saving for a lift and tires.

That last pic the trail goes down, then left, then down, then right. Really flexed the suspension a lot. Would have made for a cool pic from the outside but I didn't want to stop midway down and get out.

lol guys... Never fear... the Mouse is alive and kicking .........just working my a$$ off with some long hours.
Believe it or not they actually closed it for the Uni's here too that day. I was like seriously? Maybe it's because I'm originally from CO.... but that was NO snowstorm in my eyes. Where I grew up it snowed like that for days on end before they would close schools down. Not for like 6 inches of snow. I took the day, but it was laughable to me in all honestly.

^^ I feel ya there my friend. I've been there. It's not a walk in the park some days...but then I look back and think, if it weren't for having times like that, we wouldn't appreciate the days/times when it's not raining problems like a deluge.

Well I guess they decided to go ahead and close it too because no one was going to show anyways. Everyone was on the slopes! lol

Plus... I'm a firm believer that no matter how tough it may seem at times... the big guy upstairs would never give any of us a hill He knew we couldn't climb.

I wouldn't give up quite yet my southern friend. I have seen it snow on the mountains south of you in the middle of April. As you know, the desert southwest is hard to predict.
