I was thinking of meeting at the Ski area up on the mountain, which is a good spot to air down. If people would prefer a gas station there's several at exit 14. (I just looked up are your map link, and that's were the chevron is, which would be a fine spot. The 76 across the street has ethanol-free if anyone cares).
Either one is OK. I'll plan the gas station to top off at 10. Anyone else who is there can group up and drive up the the ski area lot together and meet the rest. Sound good?
Well then I'll be lazy and say 5 because that's what I'm on now.
I'll bring a couple of Baofengs JIC folks don't have radios.

If the Jeep was ready.....
Have fun everyone and maybe I'll make another run at some point.

OK, I am definitely in. I will be coming down to stay in Ashland Friday night after work so I don;t have to leave at 4am.
Well I think I may be out-tired by most of you guys, so I am bringing all the help I can to try to keep up in any show we find.
Bought these chains a few years ago for the 31x10.5 tires I used to have on the Jeep, but they still fit the 32x11.5 I have on there now. But just. Hanging on by the last chain ring, but I can still tighten all the cams. I don't think I need the tensioners any more though!

Chains are really dependent on the snow...heavy layer of ice with a little snow on top and they're amazing... something I doubt we'll see Saturday (but don't know.)
I have patched brake lines, fuel lines and electrical from folks spinning tires with chains, chains flinging off and cutting/destroying said items.
But hey, prove me wrong!

I have never been to the area so I'm not sure what to expect.
They fit in a small tool bag so I'll bring them, but I have yet to run into a situation where less air did not fix the issue which is why they are still new after 5 years .

I don't think you'll have any trouble keeping up without chains. I'd guess it's more likely that you could do the whole trail in 2wd than you'll need them, but by all means bring them just in case. I'll be running 33s unless there's a freak storm tonight.
I'm looking forward to meeting yall in person tomorrow!
Here's the list I've got, let me know if I missed anyone! @Woodrow, @macleanflood , @Sgt Jarhead , @gbirk , @srimes
Great run guys! Hey Mac, are you on the offroad recovery portal? If not I'll report the rescue there
I am on a couple of FB groups. But I'll wait to post up the video if anything. 90 percent of the idiots on that page just comment air down and drive out
They said they were at 35...
I offered to air them down, let them join us and I'd air them up when we got done. But they wanted to go home.
