Sierra Trip over Memorial Weekend+
Had to come home early, my mom who was watching my younger son is ill.
In any case, Highlights are Owens river, Tinemaha res, scotty's castle, crowley lake, rock creek lake, cerro gordo trail (had a blast here, made my a@@ pucker), and grass valley. Pics are here. http://4wheeltmc.shutterfly.com The congo cage held up well, I was surprised at how much the basket and cage flexed (makes a bit of noise, but hell, my whole jeep makes nasty noises anyway!). I had ~ 200 lbs up top. I think she's a keeper. Take care and happy wheelin, |

Sierra Trip over Memorial Weekend+
Those were great photos!
Some really scenic vista views, not a bad photographer either. So, is your little sidekick your traveling garden gnome? I think he need a little red hat with a point on the top ;¬D Was it just the two of you, or did you have someone else along in another rig? Man, looks like a nice leisurely trip. Maybe someday, I'll get a chance to go there too. My grandfather was a gold miner, so I was really fascinated with the shots of the old mines. Are they still working them or are they abandoned? K.

He seems to enjoy wheelin alot and certainly loves to fish even more than me. He is always with me on these trips. All the trip was nice and easy except the Cerro Gordo trail for the first 5 miles or so. It is quite steep and in some cases really tight canyon pinches that made me wish at times that I should have had a spotter. We just took our time and went snail slow through it. The views were wonderful, too bad the camera doesn't give the views the justice. All the mines I saw were abandoned. I believe you can use the cabins for overnight use however. We got a late start so I didn't get to check them out in more detail. Last year my son and I did Papoose flats in the Sierra's were they are many mines. I don't have any still photography of that trip but I do have 3 hours of video. If I get off my rear, I can sift out the mine footage and throw it on youtube. All the best, |
