    Perfect, Thank Ron.

    Funny we were just scheduling trips this weekend, and I was trying to figure out when GSR would be. We scheduled a Downieville trip for the week after this, so I'm in...

    Hello,

    I should be able to make this. Have not been up there in almost 10 years. Do any of you go to Fordyce? I have not been on that trail yet.

    Hello all,

    I am still planning on going on this trip, what about you? My schedule might be adjusted a little, if the plan is the same from last year. I MUST be back at work in Ventura Monday. It would normally not be a problem to add a day off if I had problems with the jeep and needed an extra day to get home, but not this time.

    I am thinking about doing this;
    Wednesday morning, leave house and camp at Loon.
    Thursday morning, head into the trail and camp between Loon and the springs.
    Friday morning, move from Thursday camp to the springs and see if you all show up.
    Saturday morning, head out of the trail via Tahoe and head home.
    This would give me a little cushion to get back home by Sunday evening.

    OR,
    Camp at Loon Thursday night
    Enter the trail Friday morning and camp at the springs
    Saturday morning get up and head off the trail via Tahoe side and head home.

    What are you guys planning?

    Rob,

    Still planning on going here... I might camp at loon Thursday night depending on the weather as last year I just ended up at a hotel cause it was pretty cold but this year doesn't seem too bad at night up there. I'm going to play it by ear.
