DHappel Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Let's get a head-count on this. Looks like some people are dropping out. I can still change to the later date if that works for more people now, but I need to make the change soon for planning purposes. Right now I have:Don and MicheleAnudeepDrew Who else is in? Who could be in if we push it back a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seldomwright Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I can't go in July, but I just might head up there this coming thursday June 29 and friday with a non Rover buddy. That Snake lake trail looks awesome! And tough. Actually looking for any fun roads and camping within 3-4 hours from Oakland. Fresno Dome area is another possibility.

DHappel Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Snake Lake is short but it has one particular hill that's a challenge. The normal route is counter clockwise and that has you going down the hill dropping to the shore of the lake. There's one tight squeeze with a shelf, but the biggest challenge going down is the loose rock sliding under you. You can find yourself riding a mini-landslide with no control until you fetch up against a bigger rock. I almost got a dented door in the LR3 the first time I ran it because of that - luckily the sliders stuck out far enough to catch me before any body contact.

lithium1330 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sorry, Don.Last minute family thing came up that I can't skip. I won't be avail the following weekend bc of SF marathon. Unless my injury bars me from running. Of course, his totally bites bc the truck and the new block wants to roam the open prairie... but been sitting in driveway instead.

BuckinghamBill Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Don, I could make the trip if it's pushed to the following weekend. I'd likely have the wife and Bernese Mountain Dog with me. We'll be in Mendocino the week before. If moved, when would you want to head into camp? Fri day/Fri night/Sat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm not sure, it would be a last minute decision... thinking about not pushing it and making sure I can make part of the Sierra trip. Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 The plan would be the same for either weekend. Roll in Friday as early as possible based on work schedules. I'd likely take the day off so I would get there early afternoon. This would give a better chance of securing some of the better spots along the lake. It's a popular area so the earlier we arrive the better on that front. Saturday I'm planning to run Snake Lake trail and hope at least one other wants to go with me. It's a moderate to difficult short trail so I may add in some extra mileage as well. No need for an early departure since it's short, so say leave at 9:00AM. Depending on who's present, I'd like to see somebody else lead a milder run, perhaps up to Deer Lake. There are also a variety of other small lakes in the area that are accessible by Rover or foot if somebody wants to explore or hike, and of course our camp is at Gold Lake if somebody just wants to hang out and play in the water with the kids/etc. Sunday Morning I'd like to get an early start and head out south via trails down to the Sierra Buttes fire lookout. Moderate to easy trails and a spectacular view. From there exit down the shelf road to Sierra City on highway 49 then on home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvRovr Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm probably a "no" for the earlier weekend, and definitely a "no" for the later weekend (but I'll be close by at Bucks Lake doing some camping with family friends). So don't change anything on my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Man....all you people doing 'other' stuff. What kind of commitment is this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renelozano Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hey Don, Im interested in running Snake Lake trail with you. Not sure if I can camp out but would be willing to drive out there early morning, run the trail with you and then boogey home after the trail or whenever everyone calls it a day and start relaxing.

DHappel Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sounds like a plan. I'm still waiting to see what the consensus is on dates but it's looking like we'll stay with the original weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkov Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I am still in but I can only make the earlier weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yes, I still have it down for the earlier weekend as planned. I'm going to head up Friday, leaving home around 10-12 ish so I can get there a little earlier in hopes of securing some better spots by the lake. It's a popular campground so the earlier the better. I'll have my radio on 146.460 and my cell on as well. I don't know if there are any good repeaters in the area as I'm a HAM in name only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I am 50/50 in. I would have prefer to go on the weekend of July 22nd, would have made it much easier to leave work early I been to this lake a couple times and really like the area.

renelozano Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Im out, My Monday morning disaster did a lot more damage than I expected. Got my new hoses and fan assembly coming in Friday but won't have time to work on it until Friday night and Saturday. I really want to run that trail, here nothing but good things about it. Every year my other club runs the kids to Camp Negedley, unfortunately this year they canceled because of conditions so it would've been great to make it up with you guys.
