It's been a crazy week, busted the M1000 up in Flat Creek last Sat 2/2. We were trying all day to get it out and finally threw in the towel (a bit too late in the day). Was 2-upin with the wife outa there when several in the group got stuck. We had a SERIOUS storm come in on us and almost stayed the night on Hinkey Summit, probably wouldn't have made it through the night. Wife and I got seperated from the group and stuck in the trees. Freaking WHITE OUT at night. Tracks were covered in a matter of a minute. Drove through a barbed wire fence without seeing it. It took us about 1 1/2hrs to go 1/8th mile. I don't think the wife is ever going to Hinkey again, and nowhere if the sun is not shining. UGLY!
I went up with parts on Monday and couldn't get the M1000 scabbed back together.
Dominic, Fred, Roy, and ? went up there that Tuesday and Dominic got buried in an avalanche. Luckily his arm was exposed and they did not have to use the beacons (they all had em on).
I went back Thursday with more parts and still had no luck getting it rideable.
Tried again Sat 2/9 with Dean Oberhansli, Mike Hernandez, and Rick Jurado and we got her thawed out and running, Tied in with Dan M. and Sean N. and had a awesome ride. Mike and I climbed Chocolate Mtn. on the M1000.
I'll get some pics up after I shrink them to fit.
