I was there the other day. there really is no snow there. its all up on a giant ridge and the snow is melted off pretty well. im not sure about the recent storms but I'll head out there on tuesday on my day off and check it out again

 

Did you drive the whole thing? I seen it starts at roughly 6000 ft

 

it dose look vary interesting stockwell. could you catch some pics for us.

so far it looks like a vote between johns location and stockwells location.

 

My trail rating just went up. Installed some 32's today.

I drive the whole thing all the time. its loads of fun, perfect trails for everyone. the only thing i'm worried about now is snow, I got to work today and there was 4 inches of snow, and that was at 5500 feet. so I guess I'll see how it is up there. I'll see if I can find some pics also for you guys. The 4runners getting the locker installed on monday, so I'll just have to see how far my mom's sequoia can mob up there since thats all I got lol

 

Chris I am jealous thats exactly what I want! get a close up of the tread on those things for me

 

You better 35% those sure does make that runner sexy. now just gotta get rid of that steel skirt up front and the plastic on the rear.

As far as the trail goes I am down for Stockwells trail if the snow is relatively gone. Nothing worse than slushy snow thats 2ft deep. we would spend all day in recovery instead of having fun. The only thing I do not care for is that, by the looks of it, we would have to come out the same trail we went in.

tread closeup.

Don't worry. Worse comes to worse I'll just tow you all through with these mts.

 

yeah there is only one way in, one way out. Its fun, but if anyone finds another place im definitely down, I was kinda hoping of getting out of this town

anyways, heres the only pics I found of eagle meadows from a couple years back. cant see the trails, but at least you get the general idea of the terrain

 

hahaha I will sit back and watch that your only about an inch taller than me and that wouldn't have helped last time I was in the snow. I was stuck-stuck in about 2ft and had to winch myself in a 3 way turn around

Nice pictures Stockwell. Definitely need an update on snow levels. My Cousin from mariposa had to check levels at 6900ft for NFS and there was 5ft. be interesting to see what the difference is

 

maybe having bald-ish tires and a light truck will actually do me good if im in the snow...

 

Ok I did not go down into the peligreen but I did get some images of the area. Fairy and Spacejunk can vouch for the peligreen it self that we would be on on sunday. This is closer to what you would see on saturday.





None of it is really hard but there are some rocky spots, some steep spots, and some side hill stuff. Also lots of narrow road up there. The Peligreen itself is considered a moderate trail.

 

I SEE A MUD PUDDLE!!! More mud than I have around here to wheel through. I am in for either though more mud would be my vote.

 

i was hoping to see some stockwell pics.

 

Hey fairy we gotta try out that Barney Riley trail in the next few months. I believe there is still a bit to much snow right now for much of the trail. read this and look at the attached map of the area

We do this trip and all you guys better bring your wives or girlfriends or what ever you got in the way of female friends cause I am not sittin in the hotsprings with a bunch of dudes lmao

 

thing with that one is you can no longer cross the creek. supposedly there are signs posted. right now that creek would be rushing pretty hard from all the snow melt.

 

One of the crossings is still supposedly open from what I was reading. I would not be crossing either at this time of year. snow melt and all...
I am pretty jazzed about a run guys. regardless of where we need to get something set in stone the next 2 days so everyone can adjust for $$$ and anything else. Won't matter for me as I can't buy food or nothin till the 10th anyways lol.

 

its not surprising there is to much snow there. it was just another place to mention that had possibility. looks like it is not accessible.

im interesting if the pics that stockwell was going to get this weekend. then we can get a quick vote for between john's and stockwells ideas. I wont surprised if we will be headed north to me you John.

 

well the weather is warming up so snow will be melting but not sure if 12 days is enough for it to melt enough.

 

John I'm liking that trail alot. how many miles from start to finish is it? I'm gonna head up to eagle meadows in just a little bit and check it out and see how much snow is there...I'll update you guys tonight
