California NorCal Jeep adventures!

I would hate to set something up and then bail. If we could get something together for the 18th or 25th. I know we and my in-laws are itching to camp in MNF one of these weekends.
Maybe Uncle Toms Cabin run ?
that’s a 2:30 drive for me but I’m sure it would be the same travel for the Bay Area guys.
Maybe @DrDmoney has a scouting report ?
I’ve been down in Fresno all week but it snowed hard all weekend. It’s supposed to warm up this week maybe I can con the wife into a snow run this weekend To find out?

Next step of it's evolution. Currently learning to weld so I can install a Genright Universal Crossmember. I'll update my build thread once I'm further along.

If we get something put together I could meet you in Sac so you can wheel as a passenger lol.
I doubt my wife will come. Im sure you could use the getaway

Rubicon is open. I would be fully down for a 2 day run to make the trip worth while, I might not be as good as the dude in the video but I can bring the tacos!!
And someone has got to bring some Coronas and lime to celebrate the escape from the madness!

I hope you can get some guys to do that. Having to do the trip in 2 days would have to be a small group who can make some time.
Of course I’ve only done it once, in the snow, in 3 days, waiting on @bobthetj03 and others to show up with the hard liquor

Edit; I think I could totally get down with that trip. 2 days is less packing plus I wouldn’t pack the wife.
I like your thinking

it’s open for a really light rig on 40’s with 4 psi or a snowmobile right now

The weather shows it will be in the 60's all next week and most the snow right now is at 7000' plus mark. (According to ski reports). A guy can hope right? Lol
I can see the Crystal Range from my living room window and it’s solid white, the road is plowed to Loon Lake though.

Didn't Justin just get through Sourgrass a few weeks ago? There are a few good trails right around there right?

I can do a scout run in my Honda just to see what's open if needed.

Damn... Think there is still snow on the Uncle Tom's Cabin road?
(I'm new up here, please excuse my ignorance)
That would be Wentworth Springs Rd, for the 14 years that I lived on it there was always snow on it in April, how much, is another question. We did have a huge storm last weekend, ending Monday, it dumped a ton of snow down to 3,000 ft. My guess is it’s still there, Uncle Tom’s is around 5,000 ft. Either way it would be a nice drive, snow or no snow and you can visit an Iconic Jeep in Georgetown. 😊

I did make it through sourgrass about a month ago but it snowed the week after, im not sure how bad it is but my Jeep and snow dont really mix
