99 called this run so she could get a snow picture at the Dome Peak fire area.
Saturday October 20th, 2007 we met up at Nasty Creek Corals and aired down.

We headed up onto the Strobach Mountain Trail. It wasn't to far in until we hit snow.

This is the first open area after the tight part of the Strobach Mountain Trail. The Tweety Jeep caught a lot of snow from the low tree branches.

We stopped here to let Fatboy lead the way up the hill climb.

That didn't work so well.

I tried to go around him.

Fatboy backed up and took another run at the hill.

That still didn't work to well. We worked our way around Fatboy. BecauseSheLetsMe came close to Fatboys TJ.

BecauseSheLetsMe crawled up the hill since he was lock on both ends. He said it was the Iroks at 5 lbs. His carb wasn't working to well though.

Test Dummy did well running open. The TrXus MTs seem to grab well at 8 lbs.

I aired down a little more to 7 lbs. That helped my MT/Rs grab. Fatboy also aired his MT/Rs down to 7 lbs. He did have to winch back onto the trail.

Here is the meadow at the top of the climb.

A nice view of the Yakima Valleys.

On to the Dome Peak Fire area for 99's pictures.

We turned around at this point since it was to late to have a winch fest on the next hill climbs. We didn't want to do it in the dark with having the kids with us.

Here is a cold picture back on Strobach Mountain.

We ran into Phantom 309's group coming up from Louie Way Gap. They were doing some rig repairs as we were heading back out the Strobach Mountain Trail. This is a fun trail.
