hahaha I was just thinking of a trip across the poderosa (the road we drove out on last year) but go clear through to cohasset and maybe further. Not a big deal. If nothin else I will take Des and Sierra to almanor, weather depending.

Mine is not a daily driver. I wouldn't recommend beadlocks for a DD because of the added weight at the wheel and the possibility of having to add air more often than usual.

Crossing my fingers.

Yesterday's run...

Ran into a J**p jam we had to clear to continue on.


Typical self indulgent photo.

Yeah I think he was just giving the stock guys a comparison. It can't be that tough if some modded out samari can do it. We should have no problems in a stock yota.

ahh man, can't you guys let me give him a hard time??? lol
Looking at the Images there appears to be a couple of cool places to play around going through there and even in june that glazier should still be there. I do hope there is a better place to camp than that spot they camped at. I would prefer to have my tent off the rocks lol. Very pretty area, I look forward to getting some pictures through all this.

the link below will show you mud lake.
http://maps.google.com/maps?client=f...15621&t=h&z=16

I dont know how far it is, or how long it takes to get there. I will have the info. finalized on the pre run.

I also do not know how the fishing is there. Im sure the fishing is no different then any other alpine lake. I have only seen on pic of mud lake and have not been there my self yet. from the pic and the Satellite images it looks like a nice place.

ok got some distances for you all

start of trail to old trade post marker = 10.4 miles

start of trail to mud lake = 16.1 miles

start of trail to exit of trail = 15.7 miles

and another pic for you, its mud lake

better check where the refuge starts and ends in that area first. I did not check my the distance of the refuge but I do know that one side of the ridge (east side i believe) is a refuge. The trail itself looks to skirt the outside of the refuge, but like many other trails it may weave itself in and out of the refuge.
