I will be up there April 3rd or 4th through the weekend. I was wondering who was going to be up?
I can't wait!!
Last year kicked AZZ! We went up in a group of four yotas and at the bar we picked up 2 gypsys and a dingo!

i'll be going up this year. last year i was getting ready to leave and blew my engine and i didnt have a backup rig. my group should be taking at least four rigs, mabe more depending on who gets their junk running.

osmtdi2000 · 02-18-2008, 01:09 PM

There should be lot's of snow!

83kingcab · 02-18-2008, 01:42 PM

my group should have 3 or 4 toyotas, i'll be in a ford on 44's, my friend will be in a chevy on 44's and my sister will be in a bronco II on 37's

My friend got one last year for expired tabs

earthad58 · 02-27-2008, 09:17 PM

what about trailer rigs? my jeep is no longer street legal so tags have long been expired

We were right by the ranger station and we were pulled over by sheriffs on snowmobiles. We tried to go up before midnight about 8:30 and they caught us. Just gave my buddy the ticket for tabs.

earthad58 · 02-28-2008, 01:38 PM

so im guessing this means all rigs up there must be street legal?

smalltowncowboy · 03-01-2008, 10:23 PM

theres lots of us from here in town going on the jubilee run. unless i can get my vortec swap done and the truck back together, ill be riding shotgun.

i heard theres about 8 feet plus up there right now. this is the most snow we have had in this area since about 92.

Where are you located?

Snow fall was crazy this year. We usually wheel west of Sumpter, and I know they had 5 feet this year. Tollgate was well over 100". The 29th and 30th of March we are headed to the ORV park with the quads, so that should give us an idea of when we will be able to get into the higher elevations. I don't see that we will be able to get to 8000 feet until end of June, first of July.

Karma · 03-04-2008, 05:07 PM

We where up there on the sleds this weekend. Deepest snow pack I have seen up there.

83kingcab · 03-08-2008, 07:33 AM

i guess im going to try to go up the following weekend because my friend with the chevy is going to a mudbog in idaho and i broke the splines on my steering box so im rigging up hydro assist

My friend's cabin had a lot more snow then last year.

OlympicYJ · 04-08-2008, 11:53 AM

I feel like an idiot for asking this but is Tollgate in Oregon?

Snowpack her in the Olympics is really good. I don't think much has melted since I was home on Christmas break and it's only snowed more so. I won't be getting up above Wynoochee Falls anytime soon. Usually about the first or second weekend in July it's all melted off the roads and you can get up there.
