This was our 1st fall of snow, and underneath is a couple of inches of ice, as this area floods and freezes in the fall. Brilliant fun to drive a Mini in snow and ice. I’d rather drive it than our Nissan Titan in bad weather.

Mister510 = 2 Door on 33s; Silverton = Station Wagon on 31s; Patches = The Wonder Dog! :O) We tried doing the ‘dashcam thing’ on this run. The camera is in Silverton’s Pathy so all you get to see of his truck is the windshield wiper. We ran the complete 520, 519 and 198 trails. It was very dry at Evans and really easy because of it.
