Proctor Creek

[SOOBOUTLAW]

Went up there yesterday with the Brat and a few buddies. One had a Pathfinder, other was an old mid '70's GMC. Took a road that went up the side of a mountain (Mt Persis, I think). Hit snow!!! Got up to the 8-10" deep, had to go around a Dodge Ram that turned around, went a bit further up to a spot someone else turned around. Pathfinder, in the lead, rolling 31x10 AT radials(pretty wide for snow), churned through the mess in the snow, got a bit further up the road and stopped where the tracks ended. So, I tried to get the Brat through the smush, but she kept sliding sideways(toward the edge, of course). Backed up and tried a couple more times, no dice. I'm rolling 195/75R14 on pug steelies, stock suspension.

Passenger tires suck in snow. GMC didn't get a try cuz he was behind me. We all decided to turn around. Piece of cake for me, just put in 2wd in reverse, turn the wheel, and gun it. Slid right around perfectly, while GMC had to back down a ways before turning around, and Pathfinder made a multi point turnaround. Went back down to the mud and drove a bit on the logging roads, stopped at a nice spot to customize the hood off my parts car with some of the arsenel we had along.

Anybody ever been out at Proctor Creek? It's on FS road 62 between Gold Bar and Index up Hwy 2. There is a lake out there, Little Lake Cavanaugh, caught a beauty of a rainbow there last may. Lots of roads branching around, some good wheeling spots too.
