Andrew Wood Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Looks like it will be an easy drive out to the trailhead as the highway should be clear of most of the snow. I’m surprised we haven’t had more people wanting to come. I think if we have three trucks going that would be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeWare Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Might I suggest that those who attend pick up some leg gaiters. Sure keeps the snow out of your boots nice and your legs dry if you get the waterproof type. I have been happy with these. Not the top of the line but I liked the coated understrap and zipper in the front. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WH4U7KU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I would be willing to bet bass pro has something you could use and they are off I-80 on your way to the trail head. Jason, I've never understood why they put the zipper in the front of these, not the rear. It isn't like jeans, where you need the zipper at the front ....

DHappel Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 OK, at the DitD tonight I had 3 people saying they could go next weekend but not this weekend. At that point I only had 1 committed attendee - Andrew. Now it looks like Jamie is also available for this weekend. Greg is a maybe. I can do either, but if we go next week I'd rather skip UTC and the crowds and take option one, going east via Meadow Lake Rd from Nevada City toward Bowman Lake. That will have less traffic than UTC. I hate to keep bumping this, but I'm trying to accommodate the maximum number of people. I can't do both weekends...gotta do taxes one of these days!

jaimymac Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm in for this weekend, not next. I'm good with either UCT or Bowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well I guess I'm going to do it again....this is getting pretty old hat. Let's move this to next week. Looks like we have more people available then and should have better weather to boot. I know we have some stock(ish) trucks that want to come and that should give them a chance to prepare as well. We have more rain/snow forecast for the coming week, so we should still get plenty of fresh powder to play in. I'd prefer to make this on Sunday instead of Saturday as I have a dentist planning to do some very unpleasant things to me on Friday. That'll give me a little more time to get over what's sure to be a fun morning of oral surgery. I'd also vote we not do UTC as it's bound to be crowded and instead head up Meadow Lake rd. toward Bowman lake. Little chance we'll actually get to the lake but we go as far as we can. If you have chains for your truck I'd recommend bringing them. I'm expecting deep snow and the closer to stock you are the more the chains will help. Chime in here and confirm your availability! Right now it looks like Don and Michele, D1Jared and Erin, RRCRobert, RR L322Andrew, D2Tim B, RRC Possible include:Greg, D1 (come on, you know you're in!)Ben, LR4 Who else??

Andrew Wood Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I am available Saturday, March 24 but I have plans for Sunday the 25th that I cannot change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, I should be OK to do Saturday if needed. I'll update things and let's make it Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 It’s not the end of the world if you can’t do Saturday. I’m pretty easy-going and understand you might not feel good the day after a dentist appointment. That being said I would love to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Let's aim for Saturday. I don't need teeth to wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Just to hold me over and anybody else who might want to go play in the mud. I am headed down Hollister tomorrow Sunday to do just that. I’ll be at the ranger station at 10 AM. Or call me on frequency 146.460 I’ll be there for about 4-5 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertDingli Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Sorry Don, I’m going to have to pull out for both Saturday and Sunday. Multiple events have cropped up. I do so much want to go play in the snow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinw.rrc Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 What time is the meet up? Checkers has stitches that need to removed Saturday at 10 am. For some reason, I thought next weekend was the 31st. I don't mind meeting up with you guys late, but depends on how long it will take us to make it up there.

DHappel Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 We'd want to start early, but I know it's a bit of a hike for you guys in the south bay. Meet at Nevada City at 10? Maybe could push that back to 11 if needed? I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for the maximum number of people, but no matter what I pick it seems to fall apart at the last minute!

DHappel Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I just sent a msg to Andrew for confirmation. I'll still make a go of it if we want to. With only the three of us we can play it by ear on destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I could still make it this Saturday for the Snow trip with just three of us if that’s all that can make it, but maybe in two weeks for the MORG would be better. I’d rather hit signal Peak if we can and with more of a notice we can get more people on this run. But like I said I could do both trips this weekend and in two weeks. Looks like it’s going to be snowing up there right until noon on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’m also considering that Don might not be feeling good on Saturday after having some dentists work done on Friday, but he seems to be willing to do it. Thanks Don, you’re hard-core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 As of right now I say let's do this thing! It looks like only the three of us - anybody else want to go play for the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFuller Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 No way you make it to the top of signal peak after these storms, from the West that is. It may be possible from the east if there has been traffic on the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
