Last Monday’s flooding. Water flooded the low point in the road past our vacation unit. Got the call from the front desk that the Fire Dept was evacuating the road. The Ranger was the second vehicle we had on the trip and having it made the packing and evacuation much quicker and easier. Once we had everything, we drove back up the hill and into town to new accommodations.
No water was actually crossed in the process.

Went out to rocky mountain np the day after Christmas...

Took the kid and her 2 cousins sledding.

Had a blast, weather was cold and windy.

Not much snow so far this year. Same here in Oregon. I want to ski but there is not much of a base.
Lost most of the snowpack in New England. NH and ME resorts got hit hard. Some had significant infrastructure damage as result of last monday's rain/flooding.

Started loading shit in it so I can drive back to CO on Saturday.... Looks like snow on Donner Summit and wind/cold out across Wyoming

Looked at parts

Dreamed of parts

Put a tank of 91 in it so I can climb Donner Summit Saturday and put me one tank of 91 closer to putting my tune back on it

Thin coverage with limited trails open here in ID too. Went once, will wait for some more snow. :crying:
We’re hovering around 6°-8° C (43°-46°F) and rain. No snow yet except a dusting on the garage roof. I had to chuckle when I read the Old Farmer’s Almanac…

November 2023
Winter will be colder than normal, with above-normal precipitation and snowfall. The coldest periods will be in late December, early January, and early to mid-February, with the snowiest periods in mid- to late December and early to mid-January.​

I guess that old farmer never heard of El Niño. ? ?

Well, towed about 6800 lbs with no trailer brakes.
I did not take pics so it never happened.
As a warning. As you all did not know already, do not do that!!
I love the smell of brakes in the morning, smells like.......dumbass!!

On a side note, as always, the ranger works just fine, awesome little truck! GEN-Y HITCH!!

Did you exceed your tongue weight?
That would not be forgivable.
