I'll be there,anybody else?
Yes I'll be up there. Just one 40 this time. Might be some snow melt way up high but fairly dry otherwise.
The rule for trail closures is anytime they get 3 or more inches of rain in a 48 hour period, the trails are closed for 72 hrs.
I'll check tomorrow to see what they have in current trail maps for the area.

Ill be up there in the morning meet ya at the air strip ......chance of showers forcasted possibly .....should be some snow at the very top of hull mountain if your camping at oak flat keep in mind there is now a fee

I plan on have couple of coppies of the OHV maps if anyone wants a copy
Fyi if anyone has a small chain saw to toss in there rig last..talked to the gal at the store up there and there were lots of trees down on trails
UPPER LAKE RANGER DISTRICT: The OHV Trail Systems are open, conditions permitting. OHV maps for the Upper Lake area are now available. Call the Off-Highway Vehicle information phone line for current conditions: 707-275-1430. Most roads are very muddy so travelers should use extreme caution.
The camping fees are $16.00 per site per night, with the exception of Oak Flat, which is $10.00 per site per night. More information on Pacific Gas & Electric campgrounds is available by calling 916-386-5164. Please remember that camping in Lake Pillsbury basin is allowed only in designated campgrounds. The following campgrounds are closed for the season: Sunset, Navy Camp, Fuller Grove, and Pogie Point. Oak Flat campground is currently charging $5.00 instead of $10.00 because the water has been turned off.

What the matter. You don't want any of that custom pin stripping.
I already got plenty of that from hunting up there last september,.. went every where i wanted to go and places i havent been in 20 years..
since i cant make it up for those of you that havent seen the new map formats I noticed comparing the new map you can buy with the "old" map ...(my old map was printed in the 70's)
many of the older roads now are called something different per the new USDA Forest Service - Caring for the land and serving people.

potter valley,i believe is faster,shorter(if 12 miles of twisty dirt road could be described as such)see what others think.
Smaller turn out than past years. Great group of people. Terrific Weather. Even found some snow. Not much Mud there was dust though.
Good Time. Terry's FJCruiser has a few new pin stripes
Once we made it to the snow, Don made a run at it with open difs and got denied. Dion took on the challenge in his 4runner and negotiated his way up. Gunner cleared the path for the rest of us in monster FJ40. His Big tires and V8 made it look easy.
Thanks to Don for Leading us around. Carol for bringing the cup cakes and for everyone for an nice day.
