People are still going. I'm still uncertain if I'm going or not, but if I do... all greens for me. 
I probably won't make up my mind then until tomorrow night. If the roads are bad I'm definately not going. It's not worth it to me to take a chance hauling a trailer up in the snow. 
I know it's a bit of a trek up there... How many of you actually ride your jeeps vs. trailer them up?
Whenever I get around to joining you, I would think I'm not in the trailer category....
If you don't have a trailer don't worry about it. I prefer mine just for the fact that I always have a way home, even if I break. If I do go Saturday I may just drive mine up though depending on weather. 
We could all just report in on Friday night saying GO/NO GO and determine if we ride or not that way. I've been up there in much worse conditions and it was, how do i put this, adventurous. So i am still in for a ride. I already have it set in my head that i'm going wheeling on Saturday so as long as 2 people go, you guys can count me as GO! 
Keep in mind that the way the storm line looks now, the Rausch Creek area is well in the SNOW region which is getting the "Winter Storm Warning".

I'm going as long as someone else will be there. A Friday night go / no-go list is a great idea as I'd hate to ride up there and find no one else to wheel with.
I am still planing on going.
a go/no go post in the sign up thread would be helpful
I have a list going on there already
Hey new here but I talked to Jerry in an email and have been talking to Andy on the Jersey Devil. I am a definite go as long as some one else will be up there.
At this point, I'll be there no matter what. If it's too slippery for the rollback, I guess I'll drive the Jeep up. I'm hoping for snow and not ice.
I've never been there...yet. Couldn't someone call the place or check with PA highway dept. for road conditions that will get us there?
Just a thought.
If it stay's snow I'll go but not the ice. I'll PM Lynn later and see what's going on. Right now weather forcast call fro 3-6" of snow with 1-2" of ice up there.
Nothing worse then all the branches hanging down low and beating the crap out of your rig.

Roads getting there aren't the problem. It's once your there the conditions of the trails suck in ice. Picture most of the trails are either "UP" hill or "DOWN" hill. Now picture no traction and steep embankments.
Plus all the branches get heavy and lean way down and scratch the crap out of your rig.
I started a thread to see what they say.

Missy (office) and I are the closest to the park. Right now there's 5-6 inches on the ground and still have about 2" of ice/sleet in the forecast before the morning.
The ridge RC is on should have a bit more than we have so expect a good bit of snow and sliding down the hills :O}
Expect to have to put whatever your driving in 4wd when getting onto Molleystown road - especially from the 104 exit side of 81.

Sounds like a its a go!
This is Snakebite after a good winter storm in Janurary and if anything it made the terrain less difficult because all the holes for your tires to get lost in were filled with snow and ice so the trail was almost flat. The fog was REALLY thick that day too.

Unless you count the dually, I don't have 4WD. Sounds like getting there will be as interesting as being there. ;D
