My dad used to take us there in the IH Scout in the late 60's/early 70's. I want to go back now that I have the Jeep.

Snow wheeling is fun it adds a whole new dimension to trails that I run. Ever try slickrock with 12" of snow on them.

Oh well yes that could suck then 1/2 my local ohv areas are under several feet of snow so they won't open until late may or June and when they first open you can still find snow until mid summer
