Signal Peak has changed, there was a lot of water still coming down from the snow melt I assume, we decided not to go through a mud pit already dug up by much bigger tires. Still a fun trip

Video and few pics:

Did signal peak.
Made it to the top
We made our own trail around the mud pit

Damn I'm jealous, did you guys cut down the bush to the left of the mud pit?

Sourgrass was a good run, tons of other rigs out there, a lot of fun around the creek.

Here is a quick video of the trail, the vid quality is crap because it was done on iPhone SE, not my iPhone X, FolsomRnr has vid of his rig crossing the creek:

Some creek action, much better camera

My son and I had a blast at Sougrass yesterday. I have a couple of pics and short vids from the day, but I broke my phone screen today… will post the pics when I get the replacement screen. Looking forward to more more wheeling trips this summer!

Huge props on attempting the creek and thanks for coming out!

Part of me still thinks I should’ve tried the line to the left out of the creek… Oh well, next time.. here’s an action shot of Folsom4Rnr

I mentioned this during our Sourgrass trip, I want to hit up Upper Blue Lake by using Foresdale Rd from Carson Pass (88), chill at the lake and then try to push to Highway 4. It will be a day trip

We're thinking June 12th, but it is still tentative, there might be a big Bowman Lake June 26th camping trip

Here are pics of the trail and lake from few years back:

Sourgrass was a ton of fun! Thanks to those who were able to make it out and make it a great day. The only bad thing was I failed to take any pictures. Doh!

June 12th works for me. Keep us posted.

June 10-13 is no go for me (family commitment) and June 23-27 I’m going to be doing TLCA’s Rubithon event.

Awesome will do, looks like there might be some still some snow drifts up there, I'm going to call up the rangers on the 7th to see if Foresdale is passable.

Also for timing purposes we wont attempt pushing to highway 4, I believe at that point you need a 2 day trip according to my friend.
