Basically we were going to drive up good dirt road that was about 30 miles long that connected 2 small highways. We were less than 10 miles away from the other highway, but there was a Forest Service gate, plus the highway was still closed from all the snow. Everytime we saw a road closed sign, there was no gate so we kept on going.

Lesson learned. Although it was odd that on the other side of the road there's a gate about 10 miles in from the highway. The first sign we saw when we turned onto the road was in 22 miles there would be a gate that would be closed that was seasonal. The only gate was that one 10 miles from the other side.
Handy for quickly airing down.

just my two cents..............smittybuilt recovery gear kit is about $89 at 4Wheel parts and Northridge 4X4 has a good deal on their recovery gear package both are good investments in addition to a good winch.
