So after hearing that all the roads were shut down yesterday. My boss and I decided to take the Jeeps out to see if we could make it up a canyon the back way. This is called Little Morongo Canyon and leads out from Desert Hot Springs to Yucca Valley. It is pretty boring on a dry day but the snow made it a lot of fun. We did not get any pictures once it got dark, but I was plowing snow with my bumper blazing a trail. I have learned that the new KM2s are twice as good in the snow as the old KMs. My boss was pissed that he could not go as well as me. All I can say is that we had two very capable rigs, both locked up and on 35s and it was a challenge. We had a blast and I hope enough snow will be around this weekend to play in. Here is some video and pictures to check out.

You should of seen us going back down at night. Our camera guy was too busy hanging on. Rusty used to drive JeepSpeed, and I still drive and CoDrive for a Protruck team in Mexico. We probably should have been wearing our helmets.:D

I need to get mine on the road again. The Focus died yesterday in the snow and still isn't running. So much for my assumption that it was just damp electronics...:mad:

Hey now people are going to get the wrong idea if you think I need to ask YOUR wife. You are not supposed to know about that.
