Not sure if I can make it... Have a couple projects going right now. IF I CAN, I would at least trailer down to Monroe, and depending on what time I can get in on the EB, I would almost rather trailer to where we are going. Long of the short, dont know how fast the eb will travel with new wheels and tires. (Beadlocks non balanced) I havent had it past 40 mph yet. Also, I have my spare tank out right now, and dont know if I'll get it back in by then. So i dont know what my range is with stock rear tank and the 408...

Since I haven't been down that way in a long time, I really don't know the trailer parking situation. Everyone seems to figure it out though. There are are several opportunities for gas along highway 2. It's really your call.

We have some rigs run with us sometimes that are open with 33's. They can generally follow along, but you have run low pressure....<5psi.

See you guys in the morning. My Jeep is currently taking some time off, so I'll be riding shotgun with Jesse. I've wheeled Jacks Pass many times in the past, looking forward to it again.

Todays trip took us out the Beckler road toward Jacks Pass. The snow was bit old and not the greatest, but we made steady progress with just a few incidents. Our day ended when JPalmer lost his brakes, and the road pretty much disappeared under a snow drift. Hard to have a bad day in the snow!

Maybe. What time and where? That's about a 2hr drive for me, but I could flat tow the Bronc.

It was great to meet everybody. Thanks for sticking around until the trailer showed up. First time I've ever had to be towed home, that sucked. :-[

Good news is the break was only my front drop line so nothing too serious or expensive. Note to self, check all zip ties before heading out because the one time you don't it'll bite you...

We're going to meet in Sedro Wooley at 9am. The hill is just a short run from there. Parking at the park-n-ride. Let me know if you want to go and I'll send you directions to the park-n-ride.
