>>1401337well I'm back and I learned a few things:
1. Snow chains really helped driving. However, driving in snow is really similar to driving in loose dry sand like in south Texas. So I was pretty confident in a lot of areas where I saw people getting stuck.
2. I need to buy gaiters and snow shoes. There was maybe 20" of snow most places and 30"+ in others. I only hiked about 2 miles before I decided to go back to my car and just have lunch with doggo. I had a lot of fun just following in the footsteps of people who had snow shoes.
3. Built my first snow man. Apparently snow does just stick to itself when you roll it in a ball.
I would definitely go again. I probably wouldn't camp there unless it was again around this time of the season or nearer april. I think it's a little too dicey in december-frebruary for me.
Had a blast and it was a great learning experience.
Finally, most of ya'll are probably backyard campers or some shit. It's just fucking a little snow.
