Clockum 1-1-2016

Postby bobracing » Sun Jan 03, 2016 7:56 pm

Started in Packwood at a balmy 33degs, 10 at White Pass, and -1 on the way to Catch my ride in Yakima at 2 degs. Meet the rest of the EWA group in Kittitas and head toward Clockum Pass. As everyone else has seem to experienced, soft powdery snow that was hard to move in and many extraction ensued.
Been lacking in the picture department.

On the way out we ran across a stock 64 CJ about a 150 feet off the road. After a little discussion, they got stuck getting out of the way of another group and winched themselves into a worse situation, think beer had something to do with this. Luckily, they had a pto winch with lots of cable. We provided them a hook-up and between the winch and shoveling snow out from the front of the Jeep, it slowly came out. About that time their rescuer came up and got stuck too, think it was about an extra 4hrs in the dark by the time we got back down to the truck.

It was cold, the snow and sun were beautiful above the clouds and a great day. Lesson learned, frozen pants make it more difficult to get in the Jeep.
