Jeep Cherokee above the B in Bountiful?

[VerdeXJ]

Today is Wed the 30th.
I am thinking of heading up there this evening, if I can find someone else who is able to go.

We will try to find the XJ and then get the VIN and Plate #.

If someone knows "exactly" where the rig is, that would be a great help. There should be plenty of seats if you want to ride.

More snow expected overnight.

trust me you aren't getting there without a sled.it has only snowed more since we went up there.also it is past the upper gate that goes to the back loop.chances are its already locked

 

[VerdeXJ]

Looks like we won't head up there then.
too little, too late.

I wonder if the forest service (or whomever) would unlock that gate for us to go try to recover the rig? I would go with if it happened this weekend....

stuck

no problem runnig #s. my buddy is a cop. if that is any help.

Yeah, we've got a few guys who can get the info... but nobody who has gotten to the rig and grabbed a plate/vin. With the recent 2-5 feet of snow, this is looking pretty hopeless without a dozer or snow cat. Sucks to be the owner, but maybe should have payed the hefty tow truck bill before it snowed so much. Live and learn.

Did anyone figure out where the stuck rig is exactly? We were up there on Saturday 12/10 and here is a map of how far we were able to go. Compared to the GPS coords from the Nov 27 trip we made it up further. XT Utah from this board actually went up a little further than where I have my place mark but not much further. Up until that point the snow mobiles have the center of the road pretty well packed down, but get into the edges and you get sunk fast. After this point the road was not nearly packed down as well. Hope this gets someone some info of how far it can be traveled.

Funny....a friend and I were just talking about this last night!

 

[rjmax]

I hope he at least left it an electric blanket plugged into the current bush!

Seriously, I hope there is something left when he goes to get it out.

It will be interesting to see just what condition it is in come summer.

 

[Devel]

so wen should we all go and try to pull it out again :greg:

A few years back there was a chevy pickup that was left stuck over the winter above mantua. Come spring it was pretty sad. It didn't help that the snowmobilers used the windshield as a launching ramp. The owner of the jeep can probably kiss it good by.

Its got to be either a 91 or 92 and the last three digits on the part number have to be 528 otherwise it will not work...

 

[Devel]

Any sightings of this Jeep? Is there anything left?

 

[MR.CJ-7]

I was up there yesterday on my ATV. m I decided to shoot over and see if I could get close. I got turned back by HUGE!!!(10+ feet deep) drifts across the road. The first drift was about 1 mile from the "T" at the top. Since it's so warm the snow was very very soft and I couldn't go any further.

There weren't any tracks across the drifts so I doubt anyone's been up to get it yet.

I talked to a couple of FS rangers later that day, they didn't know anything about it, but were very interested in finding the owner and removing the Jeep. I gave them the info I could remember off hand. They said they would look into it ASAP.
