just to the start of the trail lol. 3 jeeps and toyota was there before us (went in bout 30mins before us) they tried to go in since there was no trails made, went in like 100 feet and you can see u turn trails. when we got to the start, there was two white runners, one got stuck and had to winch out. i had a blast anyways. just glad the 1st bridge was not an issue (no snow what so ever lol)

toyotech · June 03, 2011, 07:21:54 PM

cool, well so far. im gonna be going. leaving fresno around 9. no later than 10

toyotech · June 04, 2011, 06:35:41 PM

ran into a few jeep guys. chopping up the snow. both had lockers and still munching up the snow with alot of wheel spin. i had no problems for the most part seeing as im way more under built compared to them

installed some 1.25 inch wheel spacers and went to the snow to play
drove into an area i never been before and the runner just feel into a trap
water have been running below so it was pretty much hollowed out under the snow i was driving on.... still open diffs... no winch. just a shovel and nature lol
30 minutes or so, i finally got out with a shovel and rocks. oh plus my driving skills lol

from today

you can see my tire thru the little tunnel below.

dont mind the bumper. looking at doing an ARB bumper and winch soon

sparkys83yota · June 10, 2011, 06:49:41 PM

Any body going up this weekend??

toyotech · June 10, 2011, 08:45:49 PM

cant even if i could i would go. bald trail is too ugly for my almost stock ride to make it thru. plus i see too many people slide down into trees lol. gonna wait till it melts a little more but driving in the snow is so much funnier

monk #1164 · June 11, 2011, 07:37:05 AM

I'm going Sunday AM. with a big Willis and Bronco should be there about 9ish at the trail head...

toyotech · June 11, 2011, 03:22:42 PM

IMMUDDY · June 14, 2011, 08:20:50 PM

I don't think my Runner will be ready by this weekend(6/18-19). But am trying to get it ready for a run the following weekend(6/25-26)

Emerz · June 15, 2011, 06:58:44 AM

We are heading up on this Saturday. Look for us in an ice blue Cherokee.

toyotech · June 15, 2011, 06:40:45 PM

anyone go up last weekend and have pictures.

monk #1164 · June 16, 2011, 06:53:44 AM

hey Steve what time are you planning on going and are you headed to the cabin or just wheeling?

Emerz · June 16, 2011, 07:50:48 AM

Monk, we will be leaving for the cabin this Friday at noon for the weekend. We want to go check out Bald Mountain and see whats new up there. Our Cherokee is stock so I do not think it will make it past Eiger. We Have some work to do at the place but not much. We hope to be at Bald around 1 Pm. We have a friend coming up to help us with wood cutting Saturday Morning.

sgunderman · June 16, 2011, 11:29:35 AM

So, how bad is the snow up there right now. Not sure if I want to load up the camper, trailer and Jeep and head up there if there is still a lot of snow. Oh, plus I have a 2 year old son, and he doesn't have the best footing in snow.

Just wondering if I should wait until 4th of July.

Any input is very much appreciated, especially because of my son.

Thanks

monk #1164 · June 16, 2011, 12:29:05 PM

Its melting pretty fast now and pretty hot up there now as well
