So Andrew and I had a blast. Did not make it to spar Lake ran into about 3 ft of snow. We were able to get within 2.8 mi away. We found a backup Dorr Skeels campground. Which actually works out better because it's very easily accessible and we can base camp there and go snow wheel...
As Dave said, I'll be calling the ranger station tomorrow. I think we'll be good, Dorr Skeels campground was plowed, and gates open. And web says it's open year round

Definitely a blast! Great turnout. Got dates set for what we can call the "main" trip each month allowing others to pop up more short notice/spur of the moment trips.
Also put one BIG trip up for November to have Dave lead us through death valley (a week long weekend to weekend trip)...
