If I did it would be filled with Marshe's screams as I told her to hang on, and I was just as much along for the ride as she was🙈

Another snow run in the books! Thanks for leading this again, Scott.
I showed up late thanks to the tens of thousands of transplants clogging I-70 that morning on their way to get lattes at the Vail.
So Justin, Daine, Jeff, and I met up in the staging area and set out together. We caught up with the main group at the middle meadow in about 15 minutes. On the way we had some interesting experiences on ice sheets where Daine almost took out Jeff and his rig. But luckily catastrophe was averted.
We ended up making it to the base of Yankee hill eventually.
And Daine, Jake, and I decided to go all the way over and try to break through to Alice.
I got stuck immediately as I fell off the trail into a large hole. Buried my driver side all the way to the frame and sliders. Subsequently we ended up burying an 80 in an attempt to get me out. Then Jeff tried to get us both out. But it took a large built cruiser, a 100 series I think, to tug us both free.
The “over and through” group took off and we had little trouble getting though to Alice. Tackled a couple large drifts including a 5 footer. I got stuck once more but Daine winched me backwards and we were then able to blast through. I really wish I could have gotten some pictures or videos of us busting through that drift. It was pretty cool.
Just as we were coming out to the main road, there was a red Jeep and a white F350 attempting to come up that side. They never made it more than 100 yards.
All in all it was a fun day and I had a good time hangin’ out with friends and new folks.

Thats a magazine shot if I've ever seen one. Very cool shot perry.Man, always a fun run and a fun day! Thanks for letting me ride along Scott. Fun to look over all the years we've been wheeling up there together. Was fun too see a lot of new faces on the run, and I think there was more 3rd gen 4runners then built 80's on the run this year....
Jeff, I counted a total of 23 total rigs (there were 19 rigs when we left the air down spot).
Took 220 pics yesterday. Starting to work on them, but might be a day or two. Though one of my favorites:

LoLKinda feel like Daine is the third wheel in that third pic you posted.....
Are you saying my truck and Justin’s truck are “a thing” and Daine is chaperoning, so we don’t end up with an unwanted 5th gen?
Here are my pics from the Snow Run. Scott, thanks again for letting me ride along, just like old times. Always a fun run!

Scott blasting through. This uphill section fought us for a bit. Scott set up his winch and snatch block to help get vehicles through that needed it.
Lol.
Zepp getting pulled through.
Pulling the blue taco through.
