I find it suprising too. I expect Mud in the ruts for the first couple miles and patches between Inskip and Philbrook

The conditions prob aren't as bad as they were last weekend...as it hasen't snowed much this week. I think that if you wanted to go and play around in the snow that you would enjoy it up there. You should be about to get around decently. I would say that you would have no problem get to philbrook or maybe even further.

It snowed 2.5 feet??

I spend the night up there on saturday and at about 9 or 10pm on saturday there was already 8 inches of fresh snow. And it didn't let up all night. When we woke up in the morning all the tracks were covered completly and i would guess about 2 feet or more. We were messing around inbetween the t and the back way to Carr Mine and the ruts were 2 or 3 inches deeper than my buddies 39.5's. The snow was awesome...a snow wheelers dream day!

when we came home sunday night there was snow just about all the way down to inskip. There might have been a couple of patches or mud hear and there. Philbrook prob got a foot maybe little more.

We were up by snag punching fresh trail. I hate bouncing along 20 miles of rutted up shit that everyone's already driven. YOu change rigs once a year or something?

Bill's place is for sale...kinda sad to see it's been nice all these years knowing someone was there if we really got into trouble. There's also a parcel along the river that caught my eye. That is my ideal spot for a cabin

Yeah hes asking something ridiculous like 350k though. Looking at bills cabin mine is the 2 story one directly to the right. My cousins cabin is next to ours. About 3 cabins down to the right, also on the creek, is another cabin for sale also. I forgert how much they are asking. I know its on 2 acres though.

We close it down for the weekend since some wheelers and snowmobilers break in to the cabins.

Pretty shitty.

I was actually thinking of stayin up there this weekend but my motor took a dump so itll be a few weeks till i can go up again.

you should shoot me a PM next time you go up.
