Any Norcal day trips planned?

[Beretta Vertec]

That was a fun and safe trip, and I'm glad everything went smoothly. The rain and snow really shows the advantages of lockers. I was having a tough time with the icy stuff.

Here's something funny though, this is a semi-rant. I got a speeding ticket on the way up there, with the 3FE no less. Was doing 55 in an apparently 40 zone. I'm not a speeder, and I certainly wouldn't be doing 15 over when its raining. The thing is that the speed limit seems to change every 7.43 seconds on Hwy 4, which I'm not used to. Oh well, I feel better now.

Couple pics of Corral Hollow. There was a "hmm" moment when some Jeeps were gunning it up this slick hill, and they were like 2 ft apart from each other.

EDIT: Wanted to say that its Ken and Paul in these pics.

Cool pics! Is the snow on Corral Hollow? We went on that trail this Summer while the wildflowers were out and we liked that trail alot. The Bear Trap cabin is cool.

We want to come in from the first entrance with our offroad tent trailer and camp at the look out area just before the ski run!

Ya the snow is corral hollow.
Its a really nice area, easy trail when dry.

LLLLLLame about the ticket.
there goes the money for 1 new tire.


Those heep guys kinda scared me.

I forgot to thank you and Paul for comming out.
Actually thats my wife going up the hill, she did a great job!

Looks like a great trip. I will have to try and make the next run on those trails. I was too busy yesterday. Maybe next time.

Just confirming that those are both off of Hwy 4?, if not where are they?

Jack, yeah those are off of Hwy 4.

Ken, I did a search and read that the max for a first offense is $100. Not sure how up to date that is though. I'm hoping it'll be way lower than that, because my record is so clean you could eat off it. I'll have to go to traffic school to get the point wiped off.

Thanks guys I had a great time, I hope to wheel with you all again soon. I had a wonderful day. The snow and wet weather made for a fund day.

Thanks

Looks like a real nice trip. A few friends and I went to Deer Valley on Sunday at there was ~6 inches of snow and made it more challenging, Unlocked in my fj60, and I have a feeling that the county will close the gate to blue lakes pretty soon.

Looks like a storm is scheduled for X-mas day and a couple days afterwards. Should be a couple feet or so of snow up on Iron Mountain Road. So, anybody wanna do a snow run? Preferably somebody with a quick way to air back up, because my el cheapo compressor takes over an hour.

 

[CaliCruiser]

I would be ready to go as soon as tuesday after x/mas.

LETS GO!!!

It's on then. Tuesday might be good. I just wanna give the storm some time to dump some snow. Got an air compressor or tank we can use? Ain't getting too far without airing down.

 

[CaliCruiser]

Ya I have a compressor that works alright.

Actually I think Wednesday or later would be better. We are going to be traveling monday night so I might not be ready to get up and drive more the next day.

everyone post up the days the are best for you
