209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

That's no fair... I got none of you guys being stuck

 

1st gen tundra makes so much more sense!

We were wondering how yall fit through the downed trees a couple hundred yards before the road washouts.


More to come about how we "almost" found y'all after i shower and eat lol

 

Haha me neither otherwise I’d post it

 

So, im not super familiar with SNF yet and am still mentally mapping the place out. So when @Drtgrl said you all were "on 1N01 heading down the clavey"

my brain thought "oh theyre on the main road right down from us" (i was thinking of 1N04)

So like an idiot i led us north, back to 1n04 to meetup with yall. By the time we realized my mistake we were out of radio range. We were probably 2nm from you when we talked on the radio... and we drove north then west, back to Tuolumne, to wrap around and basically follow in your footsteps along 1n01 and then out through past the power station into groveland.

I was mostly glued to my map so i didnt take any photos really. Im sure Chris will chime in with some later

I cant wait to get back up there with my fly rod in a week or two

 

Well damn, ya, if you were at the intersection of 1N01 and 1N79 when we talked... you were close.

 

Anyone know if 4N01 is open?

 

No chance... That's gunna still be pretty buried in snow.

That's the one towards Herring Reservior right?

 

Negative (I think)... looking at g-maps, 4N12 is the road heading to Herring Reservoir

4N01 is off of 108 headed towards Beardsley Lake 38.152846, -120.065698

 

You're right... 4N12 is Herring Creek... 4N01 comes off just above Longbarn




We were hitting snow right at 5000 feet everywhere. Not sure how high 4N01 is.

 

Around 5600 feet. Thanks Matt!

 

Last week Tuesday I was up at a buddies cabin around Cow Creek about 5800' and we had to shovel snow for the kids snowmobile track, it was melting pretty quick

 

I'm hoping the snow melts on 1N04 that quick.

 

I couldn’t go with you guys on your Sunday drive as my wife and I tried out Italian Bar road and up to the look out tower. Pretty easy. We found a decent spot with a view and of course ate well

 

I’ve got a friend going tomorrow. They will keep a lookout. Work dependent I will drive out Wednesday or Thursday.

 

Right on... We're looking at possibly (probably) driving up on Thursday.

 

Someone said stuck in snow?



Disclaimer: This was the only time i needed a tug out, for the most part i was able to rock back into my ruts all weekend... but the inside corner of this turn was sketch and i didnt feel like becoming part of a landslide so i kept plowing through the outside lol



but this is my scene right here,



early spring, snowmelt everywhere, the sound of flowing water in every valley and canyon, puddles and just the right amount of mud. Goddam

 

Hey is there a good app for 4x4 trails . I know I live smack dab in the middle of a lot of stuff I’m generally to busy working to know what’s in my back yard , it’s sad but it’s true .

Ive had this for years, but only recently got a premium membership ot whatever they call it.

Its pretty sweet, i plan to get a samsung tablet just for this app pretty much (and maybe a movie or two).

You can pre-download areas and the gps chip in most phones is more than adequate for what we do in most areas we do it.

 

also if you have an iPhone Gaia it works with CarPlay
