Bumping for 21!
Headed up in a few weeks.
Looks like the above survived the eco Natzi's another year...

The forest website have extended the closures till june at this time...

 

[BigWheel]

Is the snow usually gone by June?

 

[Clb]

Not sure how deep it is this year...
The ranger said "some areas of snow and downed trees" we need to clean up.
Gunna hit up Joaquin jeepers

 

[BigWheel]

Good call. Mind passing along any info when you get it?

 

[Clb]

Emailed the club, going up to scout it out this week.
Will chime in afterwards

The gate got smashed by a tree, someone cleared it and the Spicer side is open...
The other gate is still locked.
Per the 4 feds (white trucks) we talked to, the blanket opening is set for June 1 for everything.

Right on, thanks for the info! Hopefully that snow will melt in time. Thinking bout going up mid june

 

[Clb]

Not a ton of snow anywhere but in the shade, streams are running, a LITTLE puddling (most is soaking in) lakes are +-5' low.
There should be no reason the work party next thursday (27th) cannot clear the way....
Thee scooter tramps were out in force (wear yer leathers) gorgeous weather for a work day.
I should be at mosquito with +-8 rigs 28 may

The arbitrary extensions of closures till 1june are still in effect.
deer valley wont open till 25 june.
The cleanup is set for 5 june, hosted by joquine jeepers, My talk with the ranger shows manpower and equipment volunteers would be welcome I'm told.
A big thanx to the clubs hosting trails!
