2021 Lunchtable Meet SHAVER LAKE, CA

yeah I'll pass on the Dusy Ershim loop lol, I imagine most everyone would as I don't think any of us are equipped for a trail like that. At least from what I've seen/heard about it, one of those dual locker + 35s and bring all the spare parts you can kind of trails.

It says Bald Mountain is closed from the wildfires last year, is it open yet or?

Some of the trails out here that have been closed from fire damage have stayed closed for years

 

My mom used to eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.

 

I did too but also with ketchup. Surprisingly very good combo.

 

PB&J with pickles and ketchup?

 

Bald is open

 

No jelly, just peanut butter.

Peanut butter, pickles and ketchup on toasted white bread as a sammich. Try it.

 

Hmm...ok with the jelly removed it does sound more agreeable. I don't know about ketchup in there though. I'll take your word on it lol

 

Okay first:


When my brother-in-law was a kid, all he'd eat were ketchup sandwiches. Bread. Ketchup. That's it.

Ironically, he's a trained chef now.

I don't even put ketchup on hotdogs.

 

Not for a lack of wishful thinking tho...

 

I only mentioned Dusy Ershim cause there's a trail near it? Hence us needing to scope it out online, etc.

Just made the short trek out though.

There's a turn off from Dinkey Creek onto Rock Road which is where the trail really started for me; everything is covered in snow. It's the road directly ahead crossing the road -



As mentioned earlier, Bald Mountain is open. I confirmed this as you can find out online the trail status. That and you'll run across this sign while on Dinky Creek -



It took maybe a good solid 30 minutes of driving on Dinky Creek -



Really though it's fun seeing as how you're just constantly climbing and have a lot to view -



The trails are clearly marked for Bald Mountain -



Fortunately for you Ryan, the trail leading up to Dusy Ershim is closed

It's the trail straight ahead, you'll see the gate locked -



Continuing on to Bald Mountain, the trail gets really "bumpy"...felt smooth as hell to me really as you're just articulating here and there as you climb -



Just before the actual trail, you'll have your choice of Difficult or Most Difficult; guess we'll see what we'll do when the time comes -





Since I was by myself, I chose to follow the Difficult trail marker. Really it turns out to be a steep climb but I've got to head back to my appointment in Clovis -

You guys are heathens; just eat a PB&J sandwich like everyone else

 

Well yes, I'm a heathen, but for different reasons. I still eat PB&J like a normal person. I was just describing how screwed up my family is...

 

Peanut butter and honey, now there's a decent combo.

 

Or eat Elvis's favorite version

 

It's almost like jelly; can confirm this is delicious.

 

God dammit, this is the LT Meet not the LT Meat

Gonna get together talking about what's good to eat and what isn't

 

No wonder he died on the toilet

 

Definitely during the fat Elvis stage

 

Vegas Presley.

 

Add sliced bananas in that mix and you've got one of my favorite combos
