Yes sorry I mean Uncle toms as a winter destination, like dec/jan/feb/ whenever there is snow.
You guys can do a forest exploring day just pick a town off of 50 and start driving. I think we will be doing some driving on forest roads off of Mormon Emigrant Trail on Oct 15, always a fun destination and wonder around. I believe there is even a easy section up there called Plummer ridge trail.
Anyways, for a familiar place and easy access to a group maybe you guys can meet up and do Signal Peak

We will be expecting our first kid during those dates, so a trip for me is out of the question.
For uncle toms:
- This is a stock vehicle friendly on most occasions, unless there was a serious storm just before trip and its like 4ft of snow (unlikely). It is well traveled during winter for snow wheeling, so there is always tracks you can follow.
- Good place to meet, to get gas, and maybe breakfast is in Georgetown, There is only one stop sign so cant miss it. Pack a lunch, no food beyond this point.
Head up wentworth springs rd, you will start gaining elevation quickly. You reach a open gate were they stop plowing the road, this is a good time to air down. Follow wentworth springs rd all the way to Uncle toms, there will be a small sign on the side of the road telling you where to turn right for the bar. For more snow fun go past uncle toms, the road is covered in snow all the way to Ice house rd.

There is no official run this weekend, I was just mentioning that I was up in that area and possibly exploring trails of Mormon emigrant trail.
I will be in Somerset for the weekend and maybe head out and do some driving with friends but without a set timeline I cant commit to meeting up with anyone. Also phone signal in the area sucks, but that is why we like it!
Michael1929 and Lauroness, You two could meet up and go explore that area too without me anyways.

@ToyotaPro Concord congrats and that is a totally valid reason in my book to miss out
Thanks for the input once again guys and thankfully everything is back up after the Hacking and what not
But I want to get a census on what difficulty of trail we should make this considering winter and what not. So depending on your rig and skill level please make an suggestion
At this point I'm thinking something easy to moderate INPUT APPRECIATED!
