BIG TRUCK ended up following some ruts but was able to just back out of it

got to the end of the road where it intersected a groomed road for the snow mobiles so we turned around there and headed back down a bit, got stuck so we decided good time for liunch. had a foreign exchange student with us from germany (or russia, dont remember) it was her first time out wheeling in the snow and eating an MRE.

got him out and headed down to a small hill for the kids and the most agile adult lol to snowboard. then when we got going again we noticed the XJ had a flat o we aired it back up. didnt pop a bead, not sure why it went flat but it took air easily.

it was a good day, snowed on us pretty good for a while but the roads were fairly clear going up and on the way back. its like a little snow vortex up there. we could see blue skys but it was still snowing.
