Come freeze with me!

[Ben H]

It is time to start planning for the Sierra Chapter's Bald Mountain snow run. I know it is only October, but I need to pencil this in far in advance, as I'm sure many of you do as well.

Run is open to all.

Plan to be at the trail head Saturday, January 19, 2008. Thats Martin Luther King weekend, to allow for plenty of travel time.

This can be either a day run or a weekend run depending on feedback. I need to reserve the cabin within the next couple of weeks, if it is going to be a weekend run. Hopefully we can get the same cabin (possibly two cabins) that we rented last year. I would like to keep it as a weekend run so everyone can have a restful weekend.

If there is interest, we can take a trip around Blue Canyon Sunday morning for a little bonus fun in the quarry.

Here is the thread from last years snow run, a damn good time indeed.

For this reason alone, you can't count me in for the weekend if theres room in a cabin.

[Phil]

That's too bad because we'll miss you.

In for two. I could use a bedroom...like the one I shared with Opie...but less Opie this year.

[XJ_ranger]

I guess ive been kicked out pf Phil's bed, but you can count on me being there.

[selarep]

In. Will bring someone too...

[Starboard M]

Holly shit, a snow run I can make!


I might try and make it pending a motor swap and getting my blower motor going. No heat would not be fun in the snow.

[Matt S.]

Heat is for XXXXXXs! (says me who had the "buggy" last year, and will have the ftoy this year) I am in for sure! I will grab a couch or some floor. I am good for both friday night and saturday night.

We are making progress. Its kinda on Rons shoulders at the moment being we are in the "design" and "program" mode for mounts, brackets, and whatnot. Moving slow, but moving. We going to be pounding on it hard the next couple weeks. Should move fast once stuff gets cut, punched, and formed. I hope.... :wierd:

CAn't wait - Count me in for both Friday and Saturday Night. Might have 4 total, 2 for sure.

I live right here in Prather. What would be a good minimum equipment setup for this run? I just got my XJ, which is going to be a DD. By then I hope it will be at about 4" on 31's, it's got a trac-lok in the rear. Suitable or not?

Doug

[XJedi23]

:eyes: Just make sure you have front and rear tow points.

Is there any interest in getting some shirts done, post up. I figure if we get about 15 people interested it will be worth while.

Just lack of planning. That probably goes for runs of all types.

Would you like to set up a run for a different weekend in the more local mountains?

[Jimbo_1321]

I might be coming. not quite sure yet. if I do come i'll probably bring a friend and maybe go hit the slopes at dodge all day friday and then spend the night on friday and saturday.

The reason for all the runs down south is because thats where the people that plan most of them live. Id definatly be down for a run to Iron Mt a time or two.

[Matt S.]

I would encourage you to plan runs!!!!!! We have liked the Shaver area so so much due to its vast variations of trails and whatnot. Especially for the snow run and having the ability to get a cabin very close to the trails and what not.

I couldn't agree more. The Bald Mtn run is a great trail to run in the snow without worrying about gates being locked and trails closed for the winter. Please do not sit around and whine about a lack of available runs in your area. Step-up and plan a run for the chapter, anyone can do it, even non-members can plan runs for all of us to enjoy.

[Trail-Axe]

Ok, I will step up and plan a run. Anyone interested in this run, let me know: http://www.badwater.com/

:rof:

[Ben H]

Got the cabin reserved. I couldnt find the Ogrady cabin, but reserved this one instead, it is a little closer to town and Dinkey Creek Rd. It looks like there is enough parking, and stuff to do. A buddy of mine said it is a nice cabin, so I went with it. Cheers.

Here is a link to the place.

Honestly I will want to ride this trip. I don't want to trailer up there ever again in the snow AND I really just want to have a "don't worry" fun time. I figured I would ride with you, Ben. You can share the bottom bunk with me... you may have to fight Opie though. :D

Dibs on the 2nd set of bunks :-)

Absolutely capable. Just make sure to have tow points front and rear, shovel, and an attitude for fun. Hope to see you there. Oh yeah and snow chains. I will post up minimum requirements for this run in the next couple of weeks.

The run is free. You can head down Saturday morning and head home that night, but why?

Ben will let us know what the per person per night cabin cost will work down to as people commit, or you can find your own place in Shaver Lake or in Fresno if you want.

I think we usually end up at a local pizza place after the run on Saturday.

[selarep]

Should we have a pre-run meet up to get things organized?

[rm89xj73xl]

Hows it goin guys? I finallly have my XJ rollin again:party: so i'm lookin for its first run and meet. Wantin to know if its ok to roll along? It will be my two boys(12 and 9) and me.

[Matt S.]

Should we have a pre-run meet up to get things organized?

This has always been done by one person. When I did it the last time the only thing I had to do to organize was to make sure we had a cabin. The wheeling is secondary on this trip.

[tribal_4x4]

but why what? i want to stay as long as possible. and im definatley in ill request work off tomorrow.

I would expect that we'll head down Friday after work and arrive in the freezing dark, and head back to Sac Sunday in time to get home by mid afternoon.

Hmmmmm

The problem is you have to have chains in the rig going up the hill (CHP checks) even if they do not fit. If I give you mine then I won't have any - hahaha

Try Craigslist. I got this set for $25 never used.

[Ben H]

Wal-mart has chains, and don't forget tensioners.

[luked]

How many will they make you have 2 or 4?

[Ben H]

You just need a set for two tires.

[kdailey4315]

Looks like I'm definiely in for 2. How much do we pay and who do I give it to? What about food? Do we bring our own food?

[Ben H]

The cabin is split evenly between everyone that goes, we will know total cost the week before or that weekend. Last year I think it was $35 per person for the same priced cabin and around 13 people.

I believe breakfast is taken care of. The cabin is right close to Shaver, so there is a grocery store within minutes. Bring whatever your want. I might BBQ some chicken for dinner, but that really depends on the weather.

If someone has an extra set of bocce balls, then bring them please.


:spam: BURRITOS!

[Slonopotam]

If someone has an extra set of bocce balls, then bring them please.

Bocce balls seem to haunt me ever since that Dusy trip. First, we bike around south SF bay and what we see in Almaden park ? Right, bocce ball field. A week after the company I work for makes some sort of a party with ... bocce balls tournament. Now we have bocce balls in snow.

Just in case, does anybody have a snow diving equipment ? I am sure balls will go 4-5 feet deep easily.

That actually might be fun.

Who towed last time? Was it a PITA worrying about ice, snow,and cold diesel engines? Would you do it again if you had a streetable rig?

[Matt S.]

I would tow. It is not a big deal. You just have to be super careful and really think about every little thing. Opie and I will be towing.

[Matt S.]

So how much money do you need Ben? Are we all set to show up friday afternoon/night? Anything I can do to help arrange? You think we can get quite a few trucks and trailers in the area?

[Ben H]

$750 for the lodge. It will be split between all that stay the night.
I will be up there around 6:30 in the evening. I will post up turn by turn directions on how to get there. It is in Shaver and close to food and Dinky Creek Rd.

The only requirments for this run are tow points, a set of snow chains (if you axles are open, it might be good idea to get a set of chains that fit your tires), warm clothes.

I will post more details in a couple of days after finals.

[XJ_ranger]

Cool Doug, I hope you can make it.

Just watched the local news and they are calling for blizzards and "several feet of snow".

So what'sup dude? We need directions and stuff eh.

[Ben H]

Sorry Mark, I must not have completed my post this morning. I went up to Bald yesterday and there was a decent amount of snow on the ground, 4-5 feet. I plan on taking the cabin around 4pm and start digging out some parking spaces. There will not be enough parking for all the rigs, especially the tow rigs. We can park across 168 at Bobs Bait and it is just a short walk (500 feet) back to the cabin. The amount of snow on the ground has made the streets one way with little parking. Bring your own towels. There are beds for 12, and a few couches. I am bringing an air mattress to sleep on, bring bedding, if you are not sleeping in a bed. We are really close to amenities, so food and gas should not be an issue.

We should try to reach the trailhead no later than 9am, CB channel 4. Those of us that are staying at the cabin should start trickling to the trail head around 730ish.
If you can bring shovels and or a wooden plank, that would be great. Dress warm and DON’T FORGET YOUR SNOW CHAINS!

If you are planning not to stay in the cabin and want to meet us at the trail here are the directions
Drive up HWY 168 and turn right onto Dinky Creek Rd, just before you enter the town of Shaver Lake. Travel down Dinky Creek Rd. for about 13 miles. Here is the GPS coordinates for the trailhead:
37° 05’ 34.75” N
119° 14’ 06.56” W

I expect Andre to leave no later than 1am to be there in time to sleep :D. See you all in a few days!

My phone: 559-261-5141

My friend gave his old car to his wife parents, they live in some village. Since the roads are not paved there, it is quite dirty, so they pulled the carpet out. Now the front passenger enjoys a stream of dirty water each the car hits a pothole at speed. Must be a real pleasure.

Enjoy your ride,
Andrey
