The Barney Riley Trail run November 2010

YIKES!! That is going to be interesting!

 

It shouldn't be that bad.

 

I'm thinking this is in the spring or early summer judging by the plant life. The end of the trail is right after the river so if it's to high we just don't cross it and BBQ along the river.

 

For the most part it looks like fire roads and some rocky climbs it's going to be a nice run.

I am going to be camping up there for the night. I'll probably see you guys at the end of the trailhead then! I'd like to leave earlier but work won't allow.

 

Oh okay then we will see you there.

 

after doing the creek bed in my truck i am fully sure that i would not get stuck and i could keep up with you 4x4 guys not problem i just cant do the hill climbs like you guys can. I would love to bring my truck but my bushing still need to be done... ohh and the big thing i need to get my Licenses back lol

 

LOL a Licenses would be nice.

 

ok lol yea i just need to get my license back and ill be going to every meet i can lol now that i have a more flexible job and school schedule.

 

We don't need no stinking license.

 

yes it would to many tickets when i was young and dumb in high school... Having a 04 WRX dost help much at that age....

 

lol yea maybe if it was closer i would think about it but driving that far lol and i only have like 1 moth till i get it back its not worth it... or is it

 

You guys are freaking out over nothing, that creek crossing was nothing it didn't even go over his wheels.

 

Nice to know Thanks

 

I'm hoping there are some creek crossings to make things interesting. Otherwise it seems like a fire road.

 

I'm going into work tonight so I'm going to try and get the day covered. I'll let you know for sure by tomorrow but if anything I'll probably just call in sick haha

 

I know that's what i was thinking as well. There is a bunch of other side trails we can hit that have some steep climbs.

 

Do it!

 

DO NOT CROSS THE RIVER!!!!!!!

BLM has made it illegal to cross the east carson river on the Barney Riley trail.

You will need to make a right at the Y about a mile before the river. And go around and stay to the left at the next Y. This adds about 2 hrs to the trip.

IMHO it is stupid to do BR in a day. You need to camp at the river to enjoy the trail. It a easy but long trail. If your mobbing it hard you can do it in under 2hrs. I did it in 1.5 hrs with two trucks hauling ass, and no stops.

Be careful not to get lost before you get to the trailhead!

 

Thanks for the info KRT. Do you know if highway 4 is closed right now? I was wondering if you could get to Deer Valley from that side right now.
