If anyone wants to use these, have Randy leave them at Trevor's and I can bring them up to SCC. Make sure to let me know.

MD, these might ??? work with your 235's. I think 235 85's are about an inch and a half narrower than 265 75's, but the same diameter. Some else may know definitively.

Usually run in the morning so I'm not sure if you'd want to run up for 2-3 hours plus someone would have to come and unlock the gate.



Is there any snow up there?

Evan said there is enough he can't drive his mini-van back there.

And to Derek, the property is 5-6 miles behind a locked gate, so unless you promise to be there at an exact time Sunday it isn't really an option.

There are bunks think that's why the number is set at 25. Camera would be a good thing too. Beer or liquor what ever your choice is.

I'll second that! Sometimes even when i have my own rover i like to hop in with someone else for a while. It's much more relaxing when you don't have to worry about breaking anything. My most memorable (or scariest?) rides were with Randy and Trevor - was glad I left my car in the lot.

We'll go over to the food thread to figure out what we might bring along. (We need to atone for our poor showing in the food department at Robesonia).

We have no chains. If anyone has ones for 235/85-16 we'll use them, otherwise we'll take our chances.
