    What's up TW!

    EDIT (12/13):

    Trip is no longer going to Lett's Lake. The new plan is to head to Sawmill Lake near Tahoe. I will be leaving Friday morning (12/28) and staying through Sunday (12/30). I am gonna meet up with at least one other truck near Sac and caravan all the way up there.

    Radios to:
    146.460

    GENERAL PLAN:
    Camp
    Hit some trails
    Possibly do some shooting
    Have a big fire
    Drink beer
    Play in the snow
    Have fun

    Most of that area is burned. It’s not going to be “scenic”. Since the vegetation and undergrowth burned if you get much rain, there may be mud slides, plus it will be a sloppy mess. If you get snow it will just be miserable and cold. Since the area is almost 5000’ elevation snow is somewhat likely. In addition you need to check road closures. I’m not trying to rain on your parade, I’m just trying to let you all know what to expect if you head up there in December. It’s a beautiful area but after the fires it’s probably not so beautiful now.

    Sawmill is a nice spot. Camped at Bowman last December with @TTT and a friend of mine. We were the only people there. It was nice.
