I drove 1 mile in from the highway with a stock 4WD on the Lake Como Road. People have been getting stuck on the snow covered road. There were tire tracks next to the road in the brush that I used. I stopped after a mile. I didn't want to push my luck in the dark. I car camped at 7,800 feet. Things went well all the way to the cabin at Lake Como. Above that there was a lot of wallowing trying to break trail. I made it to the Blue Lakes at 12,150, except everything was white and I couldn't see a thing. It was snowing hard and visibility was poor. I decided to turn around. There was more snow above Lake Como then I was expecting. It was a long tough day for me. I left the car at 3 a.m. and got back at 4:30 p.m.
