We arrived near the Flat Tops early Thu. 11-1 afternoon, and wasted some time getting last Min. supplies, then headed up the hill.
(me- Do you really want to pack in two cases of beer when it's below 0%
DS- hell yes )
The narrow dirt road was just passable, but then the snow started falling. Half way up we spotted a nice 5X5 bull galloping down the road, then he bailed off down hill, we should have followed his lead and headed back down ourselves. By the time we got near the top it had turned into a white out blizzard. We passed at least a dozen vehicals stuck in the snow, and things were getting ugly. When the snow got over three feet deep, we finally decided to go back, but there was no place to turn around with the horse trailer. It took a couple of hours of snow shovle work and some help from some nice guys in a monster truck but we finaly headed back down. By 2am we were in a hotel eating microwave burritos and working on plan B
Hey DS, tell em about that bull you shot, and leave out the part where I get my boot stuck in the stirrup and fall on my butt in the snow.
