We are leaning towards MET trail above Uncle Toms cabin. But with any snow run that could change last minute due to the amount of snow and what’s open.
 
Great seeing so many of you Today (even @PapaDave couldn't resist to show up :smiley: )

It was great seeing everyone!
 
I'm the guy who creeped in with the Porsche Cayenne. I was going to bring my trailer but I'm glad I didn't because nobody else had their trailer. It was nice seeing so many wonderful people who love to go over landing and one spot and Livermore. All the rigs look like they are all capable. I just have to give everyone a virtual hug. I feel bad I didn't get a chance to follow through and buy something from the store. Next time for sure!

We parked across from you! Sweet Cayenne. I think yours, the Syncro, and the Land Rover were the extent of the non-Jeep/Toyota showing.

Thanks for the kind reply. I often feel both weird and extravagant when I'm around jeepers. But you guys are all great. It's definitely not a Jeep, but it does have a locking differential and low gearing. I'm riding on 33 inch Toyo rough terrain. I have a Max 11 inch clearance and a skid plate under the oil pan. We like to go faster than we do bumpy. Hopefully we can go out together someday are you guys can string me along. Thanks for the fun meet up.

Any update on the snow run? I haven’t seen a rally point posted yet?

I did UTC last weekend and camped overnight. 6 degrees in the morning
