Hi Guys,
Went for a drive today to Woods point through Marysville and I've got to say that I haven't seen snow as low as it is at the moment. I've only been going up there for the last 5 or so years but the snow was starting to build up on the main road to Woods point just out of Marysville.
There were 5 vehicles in all that made the trip and it was really a day to take the kids out to the snow. No serious 4wd'ing was done as some of the vehicles were not suitably equiped. But the day wen't smooth with no problems encountered by anyone. The kids had a ball in the snow and it was a battle to get them back in the vehicles.
We stopped at Woods point for lunch when I wandered over to the general store to grab a coffee... only to find that they have now stopped trading (no fuel or food)
On the way out we took a detour via Frenchmans spur track (I think thats what it was called) wher the kids had a bit more fun in the snow and we then continued along and had a go at #2 shortcut before heading back on to Big river road and then home. Given the amount of snow that was on the ground, and that 2 of the drivers have had very little experience and one Holden Captiva was a very good effort by them.
Not much else to say but i'll try and post some pics up here soon...
