Wheelers Pass 2/15/9 2nd run of the year!!

[my034runner]

Alright...with all of the snow, I think we had better take advantage of it before it all melts again!!
So...how does Wheelers Pass sound to everyone?? :confused:

We can either start from the Pahrump side, or the Cold Creek side.

Sunday, Feb. 15th.

Meet 9:00 - 9:30 am

Leave by 9:55 am.

If it's the Pahrump side. meet at the last gas station/mini mart @ 160 & 159

If the Cold Creek side, then we can get together like at the Ann Road exit, think there's a gas station there as well.

:driving::driving::driving:

[WSUtaco]

I'm definitely interested... as long as the truck is ok.

Brett, you have a chance to take a look sometime this week?

[damaged110]

always with the truck excuse. you should drop by so we can look at it. oh thats right. you are always out of town or busy....... lets fix it so you can go wheeling :D

[06SSTaco]

I'm going to have to pass on this one. I did my snow run on saturday with my fam and 4-legged kids and thanks to CRC & fam for joining us , so now it's time to chill and save for the NVTTORA annual easter run in the mojave preserve. The way things are looking with fuel prices going up $0.03 per gallon / per day, it should be close to $4.00 come april. :mad:

P.S.

Everyone has been asking for club stickers including myself, sorry to say I checked with Carl and there are none available at the moment. However since there is an interest amongst the members here, I will be looking into getting a new batch of stickers printed up.

:cool:

ya'll want to add on the wallace canyon to carpenter canyon run down through the poderosa rds rather than just drive down S52 to pahrump?

http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/data/500/medium/ponderosa_rd_1.jpg (http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/16768/cat/500)

this map shows where you turn off S52 to head up wallace on FSrd 081 then turn onto FSrd 568 & 569 down to carpenter

http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/data/500/medium/toyabe_SCANv2.JPG (http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/9452/cat/500)

of course if you wanted to you could take fenceline trail over to trout springs rd then up over lovel pass and either back over rocky gap road to red rock or lovell canyon rd back down to 160 and over the pass

[jdblatt]

If you hit snow like I went through on Potato last month.... You won't make it. I had a HELL of a time fully locked going thru about 3' snow, (and I'm on 37's) :) I have video of it, with MandAtaco. But I don't know how to upload it :( It was the top part of the rock garden...approx 150', it was still a BLAST!!! Mike tried to follow me, but had to winch himself out. :) Just becareful! But have fun. I wish I could join you.. I have a funeral to attend for a family friend that was murdered Thursday night. (I would much rather go wheeling..) :( :(

Just in case some of you missed the first snowfall on Potato.. :)

Sorry to hear about your friend. Was that the one where the guy was served his divorce papers? I saw all of the emergency vehicles go by that night on Trop. That's some pretty sad stuff. :(:(

That sounds good....that is, if we can even make it to the summit!!! If we can summit, then the rest should be a piece of cake. :D

[my034runner]

I can't make this run because it my girls b-day. there should be a lot of snow up there that will make for a fun time. I'm off Friday again so if anyone would like to wheel Friday morning let me know.. once again I'm up for going where ever.

ya'll know about the cut off to the right that is just over the summit that leads down to the well?

[my034runner]

ya'll know about the cut off to the right that is just over the summit that leads down to the well?

Of course!!! Last year we came up from the Pahrump side, and after lunch, took it from the Wells to the main road, back to the Wells, then Chipmonk Canyon to the 95.

[my034runner]

Is that all we got?? Anyone else coming?? Timmer, thought you were coming along?

You guys have fun, Our adapted Niece is getting dedicated at Church on Sunday so we will be in attendance of that. Snows fun though, we had a good time with Jeff after the last snow storm.

Hey Jeff, Get me a copy of that video and I'll get it up online for everyone...

Well, hopefully...you'll make it!! I don't really think that I want to go up there in the snow by myself, especially if it's still snowing!! :p
I'm surprised that more people aren't or can't go for this one.:rolleyes::(

Bump for a good trip, If you guys can go wheelers is fun and should be a blast in the snow!

My computer (i.e. I) has a lil copy and paste problem, but we should be there.

[cruiser97eric]

I am still thinking about it.

The SNOTEL station at Lee Canyon (8626 ft) is reading 38" of snow and the one at Bristlecone Trail (8979 ft) is reading 39" of snow today. Not too bad considering the one at Rainbow Canyon (7975 ft) is reading 53" of snow :).

The SCAN at Lovell Summit (6593 ft) is reading 12" of snow.

Trough Spring (7848 ft) is reading 15" of snow. This is one of the stations accessed via the Wheeler Pass trail, so it is the most relevant for this run.

Hey, for those who live up that way....is the Ann Road exit a good place to meet? I haven't been up there for a long time....I'm just assuming that there's a gas station or something there to meet at.

[remmit]

if trough springs is showing 15" the pass is likely 18-24" deep

so you'll need chains and be ready for lots of shoveling and winching as well.

Do we need chains? I don't have any, so do I need to sit this one out or will I be ok?

[remmit]

you probably wont have to use chains but if you dont better make sure you have a winch or one is behind you.

let me check the snotel info i'll post later

trough springs is reporting 14.7 inches ( through equation) at 1700 hours

through springs scan station is in the trees in a valley on the western facing slope of willow peak near 2400m elev.

I'm planning on going but am a little worried about the 'chain' situation. I don't think I'll be able to get any in time. How many winches will we have? I do have a tow strap though :D

Don't worry so much bro.....if chains are needed, Don and I have some, and can cut a path. Plus, me, Don, Ed, and Brett (he still might be there) all have winches!! Bring a big shovel though, I only have a small one in my truck.
Plus, I don't think it's going to be that bad, as I'm sure people have been up there today, and I don't think it's going to snow anymore this weekend.
See you all in the morning!!! :D:D

Sunday, Feb. 15th.

Meet 9:00 - 9:30 am

Leave by 9:55 am.


We can get together at the Ann Road & US 95 exit, think there's a Chevron gas station/McDonald's there.

Hey Guy's, I dropped the ball on scheduling today. There's another *&%$ kid b-day party today. If I'm not there, there will be hurt feelings. So I have to attend. Is there anyway I can go and be back by 2pm? I'll check back in a lil bit or give me a call.

[SKUUT]

I had snowboard plans that fell through so I'll be there.

CRC, you could probably make it most off the way to the top and then head back down the way we came in and have time to spare.
