No pics?...

Sorry , kids took the camera before the ride

 

[donbrown]

Do they groom up there?

Yes they get OHV money and a dedicated groomer and a road plowing contract from Jan 1 to I think 31 vMarch to a staging area where no bald trail to higher elevations. At least that is how it works.

At least 80 - 100 miles of groomed trails.

Has Bob started grooming up there yet?

Do they groom up there?

The FS does groom up there when the machine is working properly.

Thank goodness it's not that much though...I don't know why you'd want to ruin all the good boondocking.
Anyone pick up me and my sled?

Bob groomed up there around XMAS but not since then.

The retired Caltrans road plower in the white truck was told to keep the road open (2 lanes) to where the groomer is parked.

The groomer is parked at the last place to turn around before the major turn out with the porta potty.

The staginging area is plowed at least two trucks wide and 30-40 yards in length.

Of course we both know it should be groomed more and the road should be open to the porta potty turnoff.

I say you could ride in Big Bear with at least 2 feet this weekend.

Definitely needs to setup.

I would think those signs at Sherman pass are buried.

I think the "boys from Bakersfield" are in for a ride.

[Chuckr]
