Not sure my stock Tacoma is going to be able to make this with that much snow still on the ground. Might just have to wait until my truck is upgraded or an easier trip comes around.

I'm hoping a bunch of it melts beforehand. We have a month. I'm going to check again in a couple weeks.
I will say this: You will get pinstripes on the Huckleberry Jeep Trail. I got some new ones this weekend. I hope to go over it in its entirety before memorial weekend. Remember, the Jeep trail is an optional trip. I will be calling the ranger stations along the route to see what is and isn't open. But, I'm planning on F.R.302 being closed. It's high up, and I've encountered snow there in years past on memorial weekend. The rain may help melt the snow, but some of the roads are unstable. Even if some parts are closed, we can find somewhere to explore.
12 rigs sounds about right for conservation concerns. more than that and I would start worrying about the environmental impact and possible flow issues for other groups or travelers.
If the caravan drops below 10 rigs count me in. My gear is always on hot standby!

haha, sadly the 10 my limit for Preservation of sanity!
after that, ill start mixing up things being able to remember who's who and whats going on. lol, hell my real number is typically the 10 minus 9 others.... but i also go places where there is more volume with the sole purpose of practicing the lost art of practice.
Though I may hafta jump outa my comfort zone #suckitupbuttercup

I'm bringing my dogs. I guess I never gave it a thought whether or not dogs would be allowed. Sorry about that. Bring the pooch along!
I had my limb risers on! lol!
if I have a pup by then ill be bringing mine :)
Yea, the pup requires a lil extra planning. he is still in training.
@NW David I'm surprised that you're not signing up for the WABDR run on Memorial weekend. But, I'm thinking about doing the northern half of it Fourth of July weekend, so keep that in mind! lol
Nah, too many rigs for my tastes. I hope by the 4th of July I will be somewhere on NVBDR but I may still be in Idaho still routing that and alternates out
