That is what folks do not get. They hear Arizona or New Mexico and think warm desert. I remember a guy in Flagstaff sending me some pics of being snowed in. He said the great thing was drive down a bit...no snow....

Yessir! there has been a cold snap here last two days highs of 30 lows 5. If you drive down the mountain one could find 60-70* weather when you scrub off 6K feet of elevation. An old pic but we def regularly get snow.

Nice! However, being as Im not familiar with your truck or trailer's safe max OVERLOAD capacity? Wood you merely call that loaded, or "OVERLOADED"?!?!

The dump trailer heavy but not overloaded. I'm height limited until I get some heavier sides on it, a project I'm looking into over the winter.
The flat bed, I'd say was another story. Struggled pulling the hills and when I got home it wouldn't even think about dumping. I had to push a good portion of the front over the sides with the tractor before it would lift. This was all green hard wood. Heavy stuff.

Well then the truck is nicely "OVERLOADED!!!" Good on ya!

As fir the trailer? Until you get "OVERLOAD" bunks fitted on that Wagon? Throw some big ol wing logs on that bad a** Moma hauler, stack up them center logs high and tight till she's safely and severely "OVERLOADED!!!" Secure them heavy match sticks down hard and fast with chains and binders! Then tow 'er on down the line brother!👍 🤣🤣🤣 Because....

You ain't loaded unless you're "OVERLOADED!!!"😉

My folks have a cabin in the Snowies.
I'll never forget the first time I saw the Park Ranger's vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe on tracks. He rolled over a large snow pile pushed up from the plows and crossed a short meadow in knee deep snow like he was idling through a Walmart parking lot.

Would that be the snowies of Wyoming?

My folks are south of you almost on the Colorado border. If you know where the WyColo Lodge is on 230 they are within a few miles of there.

I do know eactly where that is at. I drive by there on my way to Steamboat. Nice area for sure.

I am on the, what I call, the sleepy side of the snowy range, the north side. Not much traffic through there.

It's a wonderful area of the world.

Did you recently get cell service on your side of the mountain?
I know they did over near my folks within the last year, I guess for emergency purposes. The "Greenies" flock to that whole area during snow season, there's no shortage of idiots on sleds.

I spent the first half of my life in Laramie and Boulder, WY, just outside of Pinedale.

I do get cell service at my place. Don't know how or why, but I do. I can sit on the front porch and have great service. The data is weak though...

I don't snowmobile. Everyone gets mad at me that I don't snowmobile with having a cabin. They would die for that. I have always been a snowboarder since I was 10. Went to steamboat every winter and now have my own place there. So that is where I go in the winter.

Went to undergrad in Laramie and when we go to my old ladies relatives in Pinedale...we go right by Boulder. I love Wyoming...it is what America was.
