"...HI GUYS!"
Finally got a Smugmug account so please bear with me while I share a few pics from our recent trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA. Pictures were taken after being caught in a winter storm at 11,053 feet... things could only get colder.... and fluffier!
Icicles on the ARB bumper.
Looks like we're about to put these snow-rated tires to the test....
My first trial installation on these BFG's. The retaining rubber cable proved to be a little too small to go all around so I had to resort to my carabiner-equipped 300 lb. bungee cords. Looks complicated... but the tires sure did grip!
A nice think blanket of snow.
It took almost an hour of scraping and shoveling around... and almost a few frost-bitten phalanges to uncover the mystery that lies beneath the white surface. A picture that reminds me of the fuzzy dog van that was driven cross-country in the movie Dumb and Dumber.
Even the Safari Snorkel was not spared. Looks like a white-haired Afro doesn't it?
About an hour ago, there's at least 3 feet of snow all over the area.
Interesting contrast of green, white and blue.
SCCX for life!
Good times!
