Tyler Mattson Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Sounds like we're late to the show but Julia and I would like to join. We will happily split camp costs if theres room. I'm not sure if we will be in the lr3 or the 88 I suppose it depends ds how miserable we want to be on the drive. SDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Michele and I will be there, though we are staying at a cabin in town. Will bring the D1 as I expect the snow to be deep this year. Hopefully I'll have the new tires for maximum floaty-ness. I was told if we take the open truck we have to have a cabin, so that was the trade-off. Planning to head up on Friday around noon-ish.

RobertDingli Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 It looks like my daughter, Charlotte, will also come up. She will drive her ‘91 RRC and share our site. She wants to try running the trail but we will have to see what the conditions are like. This would be her first snow trail run.

Army truck is coming Ok, but I don’t see the Army Truck being able to run the actual trail. It will be way too big for us to recover and the trail will be too narrow. You’d probably have to cut new tire tracks the whole way. Getting that stuck could clog the trail in a way that would be irresponsible for the club.

Elherbinator Posted February 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Forecasts this far out aren’t the most accurate, but it’s promising to see some snow potential. Btw, I use Huntington Lake instead of Shaver for weather on Bald Mountain because it’s closer in elevation and in the same general area Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Mattson Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Kind of a dumb navadainian question but I assume we're allowed to have a camp fire but do we need a permit? Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drafdog Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) I was just north of Shaver Lake last weekend and we got 16" of snow in 1 day, with 5" of snow on the car in only 6 hours. If anyone remembers the 2 Tacoma trucks from last year, we had a trip 2 weeks ago but a rat chewed through some wires making me miss the trip. They got about as far as we did in 2019, and with the amount of new snow, its looking like Stuckfest 2023! One of my floormates will be going up to China Peak this weekend, so hopefully I'll have better update soon! - Oliver Photo from Badger Pass last sunday at 7,200ft.

CRYA Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hey all, I thought I'd make this trip but Mrs. won't camp sub-freezing. I have a site for Saturday and Sunday so if anyone wants it and doesn't mind covering the cost, LMK and we can trade info. Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there are plugins at all the campsites so you could bring a little extra heater and be nice and toasty in a tent.

I'd love it make it work, and props to Miles for bringing his little. Potential for snow and sub-freezing nights, wife/youngins don't stand a chance.

It shouldn't be too bad, but this year I have one extra human to produce heat! ; ) We will be bringing an electric space heater just in case, though in past years we hadn't needed it.

We were gonna shack up with Eric but to keep the nclr camp block we would be more then happy to pay for and use your spot. I'm a bit of a sissy so we are gonna trailer our 88 so having an extra spot to leave the tow truck might be handy.
