No they closed Tioga Thursday night I think. It will open back up, but its got snowfall off and on this last week at 6500-7000 feet. Thats a bit early, we usually try to hit Mammoth once before they close it but it hasnt happened in a few years. I think most of the other passes would close if Tioga is closed.
Theres been a couple wild winters lately!

Thudmaster, everything else in the park is open....they dont close that except due to creative driving and big dumps of white stuff!!!!.... but they have to keep all else open due to permanent residents.

Yes there have been. I don't have the snow here here, But every winter I live with the flood warnings.

you guys get the BIG flooding right? I remember reading/hearing about it on the news. That scary stuff......are you on/near the Yuba river?

Yuba City = Yuba River
I keep my superformance hi and dry

thats GOOD!!! I agree with you....I have NO desire to get my FFR out in the elements, its just not meant for heavy rain driving....coming home from the bash this spring I was SO glad I had taken my trailer up there!! These cars are scary on the freeway in the rain, with BIG trucks, big cars, everyone else is bigger than us, and they just dont see us or are aware. I need goggles with wipers on them......

My engine block is getting the once over this winter to clean it all up. I want to finish it off with a sealant so that water oxidizing stuff wont stick on to it. My winter project. It gets abused enough just on these mountain roads.

I apologise, I know getting to yakking and diverting a thread from the original subject (mug shots) so I will try to minimize my gabbing in the wrong spots!!!

I am just really stoked I got the picture thing to work. I accomplished something big today!!!

thanks for the help computer works! you guys rock.

Actually cindrrr I think I hijacked that thread by mistake. My bad.
My winter project is to repaint my car. I'm pretty fortunate; I live about a mile froms Kens Auto Shop. (the cobra painter) I have nothing to do during the day so I run over there and get to help on some of the cars. You know stand there and talk to the workers while they put them together. I have a superformance so I didn't get to do anything on my car. I now know how the ffr goes together.

I want to get mine done for the bash also.

Ken is the one I want to paint my car. He does incredible work! No biggie on the hijackings....I get to gabbing and it probably should go in a gab thread or something!!!

I am also trying to get up to Fernley before winter kicks in again, but its not looking too promising! its been snowing here up above too much for comfort! I have alot of goals/to-dos on my car, and hope to get at least half of them done this winter. probably wont tho!

Cindrrr

I thought I heard from Duane that you were getting a Kirkham. I gather from your thread you decided to keep the FFR. Is that true or was it just a rumor after the bash?
