So I checked in on road conditions...I'm sad to say as of the May 4th corral hollow will be closed until at least the 31st. We will be trying to make the run up to Poker Flat (it's also a ghost town 👻). This trail is a little further for anyone who plans do make it a day trip (at least from the bay). Lets plan to meet at the Rite-Aid in Grass Valley at 10:00 https://goo.gl/maps/acPv2nBdZZP439EQA?coh=178572&entry=tt There are 2 routes to get up to Poker Flat depending on the conditions, so get ready for an adventure! Weather will be sunny with temps in the 60's to 70's during the day and dipping down in to the 40's at night. Don't forget your wooly jumpers! I'll plan to put a corral hollow run on the calendar for later this summer when its open, don't worry. Is this only a day trip? Will anyone be camping? Being 3-5 hours from the bay, I'd need to camp Friday and Saturday night. So if anyone would like to camp with us let me know! Unfortunately still up in the air about attending.

Mffoster Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Leigh Anne and I are definitely camping over Sat night, think Miles and Mario are as well. Wasn’t planning on driving down Friday night, but could get there early Sat. Where were you thinking of camping Friday, and when might you get there?

I'd love to camp Friday in addition to Saturday night, but not sure if we can make it up that far with work. TBD, but for sure we will meet you all at the gas station!

drafdog Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Ack plans changed. I don't have the energy to drive up and with no relief driver for tomorrow/sat I can't make it. Plus I have work early on Sunday so more rest = better. Will definitely try and run another trail before Oregon. Likely Hollister or something closer to The Bay.

Motz_the_lr3 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Are we expecting snow on the trail? My tires arent in the best conditions right now 😅 Edited May 19, 2023 by Motz_the_lr3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Are we expecting snow on the trail?

brandn3w Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 My wife and I in our LR3 will be there! Not 100% if we'll stay out Saturday night, but definitely for the day so we'll see you all 10A in Grass Valley tomorrow!

Mr.BlueSky Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thank you Mario for organizing this one! A great trip it was! Whilst the snow blocked forward progress it certainly couldn't stop a enjoyable weekend! @brandn3w it was great to meet you and the lady! Hope we can catch up again soon. Photos can be added to the club photo album here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jAKp2hRyiPL9ZkQbA (the album should not compress full res images : ).
