Hey, I used to live in 3 Rivers. Are a couple of those pics taken at the gas station on 198 just before Lake Kaweah?

Where is that trail? It doesn't look tough, but it looks fun.

Its Prince Gas in Lemon Cove. not sure on the trial. it wasnt a hard trail cuz we didnt get far lol. it was really slushy and snowing the entire time. i wanted to keep going but some of the other guys was having problems. guess its much easier to go super slow when you have an auto when all stock

we went pass some christian camp. i wanna say eson or something like that

yotatough - the drive is @ 1.5 hr to the trail from your place its up by Badger -Hartland Christian camp. its good right now we were blasting to the top two weeks ago... $Beer Chug\'n$ and yesterday maybe 1/4 of the way, it was deep... it should be good for about 3-4 more weeks. Ivan/Brandon hit me up if you wanna plow it.

3rCrawler · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 23, 2011, 07:33:35 PM »

It can be just as good as Bald....

toyotech,

Heard you posted here and came to check out the pics. It was my decision to turn around when we did, I was farther ahead and not able to judge the feeling of the group, plus we had a later start. It was also snowing almost constantly, which makes for more misery when you have to get out and grab the shovel. $:-\$

Justin, did you guys ever make it up there again? It's probably melting fast with these warm days we've had.
