And your trailer would be waiting for you in Tahoma at the end of the week.

Thats what (wife & I)are planning to do. I guess i need to know where exactly the exit is ? How long does it take to get to the springs from the exit ? Just trying to judge time frame. Thanks.

Others may disagree, but for me it will be beer in cans, whisky and rum in bottles.

I might be game. What would I do about fuel for the return?

Zoom in on this link. staging ( trailer parking) is about four miles west of Tahoma on the trail. Two hours from staging is a reasonable pace into the Springs.

Pack five or to be safe, ten gallons depending on how much of a fuel hog your rig is (at 7000 feet)

That's assuming a stock tank, with an aux you'd have no problems round tripping the trail.

zornff · 06-13-08, 07:44 AM

Rat70Fj, what link ?
Can you get gas somewhere close to the trailhead ? I was hoping to get gas AND an in-n-out burger.

Kaderabek · 06-13-08, 07:46 AM

You get gas with your In-N-Out burger. No extra charge.

oops! I don't know about In and Outs, probably one in Reno. Get a "double double animal style" not on the menu, but damned good.

Closest fuel is in Tahoe City I believe, 10 miles or so to the trailhead.

peesalot · 06-13-08, 09:20 AM

There was a little store just past the turn off 89 as you are headed to the staging area. like 1/8 mile down 89 towards south lake.

landcrusher909 · 06-13-08, 09:56 AM

Its Official. I am on Vacation as of right now !!!! See you all next week

Yes, he's aware of that. On Wed, he'll rent a car in SF and drive up the hill to meet you.

Thanks

Here is another opinion. Weather.com often links small towns to stuff nearby, in this case maybe Placerville or Polock Pines at a much lower elevation. Here is weather underground which simply copies the National Weather Service, clear and low 70's..........
