Jethro Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Okay, we're planning to head up this Saturday, December 4th, and cut down xmas trees ideally we would have had some snow but no chance this year. We are heading to China wall and here's a Google link for reference. https://goo.gl/maps/VuBWMpiUSKHy6Tiy5 You will need a tree permit for Tahoe national forest and they are $10, not sure if available still...but occasionally folks have extra. Have a read through here. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/tahoe/home/?cid=fseprd677370&width=full For the details: Meeting from 10:30 - 11am in Rocklin at the Starbucks https://goo.gl/maps/KmA4xBnYP3n4x1uF8 We'll leave at around 11am and plan to arrive around noon to China Wall. From there we'll park and have lunch, explore around and cut down a tree. For those wanting to explore, the road converts to dirt shortly past the parking lot and we'll head out and check out some the area depending on time folks want to spend. For those wanting to camp, there are sites in the area and weather is fairly warm. You can also disperse camp as long as there are no posted signs stating otherwise in the US Forest Land. Let me know if you have any questions. CRYA, RobertDingli, renelozano and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renelozano Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I have always wanted to cut down my own Xmas tree. Keep me posted, the snow runs you know I'm always up for. Jethro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted November 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 So permits go on sale November 9th...just keep in mind as they went super fast last year!! I'm hoping to go up near China Wall as it gets snow and is paved so it would be open for snow wheeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenJulian Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Count me in! I just got a permit. Looking forward to snow wheeling, I have not had a chance to do that - not too much snow in Texas and southern Arizona... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Just got a permit for two trees for American River. Is there interest in camping for a night or two? Just got a hot tent with wood stove on the way that I'm stoked about getting set up in the wild. Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 There's camping up there, the foresthill divide area is where we are going. My daughter has two games, timing works out that we play early both days so we don't have issues attending but camping would be a conflict. At the going rate, there ins't likely to be snow. Went over the pass this weekend and barely a dusting at the summit. Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given thought to buying a hot tent one of these days, but the set ups I've looked at are pretty expensive for how often I'd likely use it (over $1k). Did you find something you think was a reasonably priced less than that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
