00:11:23,436 --> 00:11:24,868
live in Northern California. And you've never been

00:11:24,868 --> 00:11:26,458

00:11:36,249 --> 00:11:36,887
Northern California,

333
00:11:37,445 --> 00:11:39,516
then come out to Northern California for pizza

334
00:11:39,516 --> 00:11:39,994

340
00:11:50,990 --> 00:11:52,502
I'm not interested in and that doesn't sound

341
00:11:52,502 --> 00:11:54,731
interesting to me, not my cup of tea,

342
00:11:55,129 --> 00:11:56,641

343
00:11:56,641 --> 00:11:58,153
trail. What that guy's got to offer. So...

344

00:12:06,511 --> 00:12:08,044
Mh. Or challenged

348
00:12:08,354 --> 00:12:10,368
trails on here. We've got some that are

349
00:12:10,665 --> 00:12:12,339

352
00:12:16,815 --> 00:12:19,357
wide variety today to talk about. Mh. And

353
00:12:19,436 --> 00:12:21,422

354
00:12:21,422 --> 00:12:23,248
2 of the draws of them. Yeah. Totally.

355

359
00:12:30,757 --> 00:12:34,283
we? Yeah. No particular order or geographical order

360
00:12:34,283 --> 00:12:35,960
or anything. We just sort of were making

361
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,194
a list as we went. Yep. Our first

362
00:12:38,194 --> 00:12:39,471
1 is sort of the Gold Lakes area.

363
00:12:39,711 --> 00:12:39,871
Yeah.

364
00:12:40,602 --> 00:12:41,872
Yeah. It's it's private.

365
00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:44,490
Only driven past I've actually never stayed at

366
00:12:44,649 --> 00:12:46,712
Gold Lakes. What? Yeah. I didn't know that.

367
00:12:46,871 --> 00:12:48,077
I thought you had been I thought you'd

368
00:12:48,077 --> 00:12:49,191
at least stayed in the 4 by 4

369
00:12:49,191 --> 00:12:51,021
area. No Never. I went to Snake lake.

370
00:12:51,498 --> 00:12:53,328
Okay. I drove We did the sweet pass.

371
00:12:54,283 --> 00:12:56,924
Gold Lakes. Okay. And I've driven past all

372
00:12:56,924 --> 00:12:58,835
the campsite sites. Okay. So I've done the

373
00:12:58,835 --> 00:13:01,382
road in. U. But... No. I've never... I've...

374
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:02,758
I mean, I've driven

375
00:13:03,068 --> 00:13:04,975
driven the trail to Gold Lakes, but I've

376
00:13:04,975 --> 00:13:07,439
never stayed at Gold Lakes. Gotcha. Okay. So

377
00:13:07,439 --> 00:13:08,234
where is Gold bikes?

378
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:10,618
Jeez. I would... Let's see. So it... I

379
00:13:10,618 --> 00:13:11,595
would say it's

380
00:13:12,063 --> 00:13:14,070
Well, it's off of highway 49

381
00:13:14,205 --> 00:13:15,712
slash another highway.

382
00:13:16,427 --> 00:13:17,775
I don't know what the name... That other

383
00:13:17,775 --> 00:13:20,076
1 is. 20. I don't... It's like 70.

384
00:13:20,489 --> 00:13:23,121
Maybe 70. That's up quincy. It's up near

385
00:13:23,201 --> 00:13:24,556
Quincy, which is 89.

386
00:13:25,194 --> 00:13:26,651
Okay. But it's not

387
00:13:27,108 --> 00:13:29,102
80... It's not off of 89. No. That's

388
00:13:29,102 --> 00:13:29,820
like Downing.

389
00:13:30,235 --> 00:13:32,574
Yes. Just over by Downey,

390
00:13:33,034 --> 00:13:35,674
you could get there from going up from

391
00:13:35,834 --> 00:13:36,334
Auburn

392
00:13:36,954 --> 00:13:38,315
on Highway 05:49,

393
00:13:38,475 --> 00:13:41,204
or you could drop down from Quincy. Yeah.

394
00:13:41,523 --> 00:13:43,596
To get there. So it's it's way up

395
00:13:43,596 --> 00:13:46,148
in Northern California. It's quite high. And,

396
00:13:46,706 --> 00:13:49,594
there are trails higher than this. Mh. But

397
00:13:50,153 --> 00:13:52,391
I think this is 1 of the highest...

398
00:13:53,030 --> 00:13:55,268
What is out? A lot of changed. I

399
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:57,665
know. Lot of latter So Yeah attitude. Yeah.

400
00:13:58,318 --> 00:13:59,988
It's 1 of the highest latitude trails that

401
00:14:00,068 --> 00:14:02,772
I've done in California. Okay. Yeah. But it's

402
00:14:03,250 --> 00:14:04,682
very high elevation. Mh.

403
00:14:05,254 --> 00:14:07,567
And so the window of opportunity to do

404
00:14:07,567 --> 00:14:10,199
this trail is really determined on how much

405
00:14:10,199 --> 00:14:12,672
snow there. Yeah. Yep. The snow sticks around

406
00:14:12,672 --> 00:14:13,549
for a long time afterwards.

407
00:14:14,107 --> 00:14:14,745
After snowfall,

408
00:14:15,239 --> 00:14:16,991
It is high up there. It is in

409
00:14:16,991 --> 00:14:17,868
in my opinion,

410
00:14:18,584 --> 00:14:21,373
I love the entire highway 49 corridor Yeah.

411
00:14:21,532 --> 00:14:21,851
Corridor.

412
00:14:22,503 --> 00:14:25,055
Getting there is... Yeah, absolutely gorgeous. It's 1

413
00:14:25,055 --> 00:14:27,447
of the most stunning drives you will ever

414
00:14:27,447 --> 00:14:28,962
do. And that is actually 1 of the

415
00:14:28,962 --> 00:14:30,557
draws to Gold lake for me.

416
00:14:31,369 --> 00:14:33,204
It's just the drive to get to Gold

417
00:14:33,284 --> 00:14:35,039
Lake. Yeah. It's pretty cool in and of

418
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,353
itself. But Gold Lake is it... Like, jimmy

419
00:14:37,353 --> 00:14:39,680
said, high elevation. And it's a it's a

420
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,344
beautiful area. And what's really really neat about

421
00:14:43,423 --> 00:14:44,481
Gold Lake is

422
00:14:44,857 --> 00:14:46,530
Gold Lake itself is not difficult to get.

423
00:14:46,769 --> 00:14:48,378
It's paved all the way there. Yes. There's

424
00:14:48,378 --> 00:14:50,212
a boat ramp. So you can get on

425
00:14:50,212 --> 00:14:51,967
the lake in a boat. I don't know

426
00:14:51,967 --> 00:14:54,280
if it's... I motorized or what the rule

427
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,216
is for motorized on it, but

428
00:14:56,753 --> 00:14:57,651
you can get

429
00:14:58,282 --> 00:15:01,071
floating device on Gold Lake. So you don't

430
00:15:01,071 --> 00:15:01,948
need a 4 by 4 to get there

431
00:15:01,948 --> 00:15:03,860
at all. You get their tool drive. But

432
00:15:03,860 --> 00:15:05,317
there's a 4 by 4 area

433
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:09,209
4 by 4 specific campground ground. Mh. Which

434
00:15:09,209 --> 00:15:10,800
is really cool. It is really cool. The

435
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,994
only way you can get there is by

436
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:12,733
having a

437
00:15:13,124 --> 00:15:15,300
semi decent 4 by 4. Yeah. There's

438
00:15:15,678 --> 00:15:16,497
1 obstacle.

439
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:19,988
Yeah. Well, and... The 1 gatekeeper. Yeah. Pretty

440
00:15:19,988 --> 00:15:22,471
much. And that's it. Yeah. And now that

441
00:15:22,551 --> 00:15:24,852
I put rock sliders on the Tacoma, I

442
00:15:24,852 --> 00:15:26,677
think the tacoma could make it. Yep.

443
00:15:27,709 --> 00:15:29,955
Fairly decently. Yeah. When I was there

444
00:15:30,423 --> 00:15:32,093
last year or a year before. I remember

445
00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:33,684
what it was at the 4 by 4

446
00:15:33,684 --> 00:15:36,628
campground area. I only had the f 01:50.

447
00:15:36,866 --> 00:15:38,952
Right? And so I didn't take the F

448
00:15:38,952 --> 00:15:40,545
01:50 back into the 4 by 4 area.

449
00:15:40,704 --> 00:15:42,935
We hiked it. To go back to see

450
00:15:42,935 --> 00:15:44,783
our friends that were back there. And then

451
00:15:44,783 --> 00:15:47,096
we hiked out and on the way out,

452
00:15:47,894 --> 00:15:48,952
a stock

453
00:15:49,329 --> 00:15:52,121
brand new, like, he had just bought it

454
00:15:52,121 --> 00:15:53,716
within the past 1 or 2 months.

455
00:15:54,608 --> 00:15:55,881
Came into the 4 by 4 trail. And

456
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,109
I was like, stock what? Tacoma. Oh, sorry.

457
00:15:58,268 --> 00:16:00,576
Tacoma. Brand new, Stock tacoma, came in the

458
00:16:00,576 --> 00:16:02,903
trail. I was like, You sure you wanna

459
00:16:02,903 --> 00:16:05,381
come go go down this. And he was

460
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:06,420
like, yeah.

461
00:16:07,059 --> 00:16:09,057
I was like, okay. And he we... I

462
00:16:09,057 --> 00:16:10,096
kinda watched him and we got down to

463
00:16:10,096 --> 00:16:12,187
that gatekeeper spot. And ripped off part of

464
00:16:12,187 --> 00:16:14,501
his rear bumper coming over those rocks. Yeah.

465
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:16,815
Yeah. I might do that as well. I

466
00:16:16,815 --> 00:16:18,865
mean, there it's a rocky area sort of

467
00:16:19,064 --> 00:16:21,538
sort of an off cam. Mh. If you...

468
00:16:22,017 --> 00:16:23,533
When I did it, there was a high

469
00:16:23,533 --> 00:16:25,847
line, high driver's side line, but it linked

470
00:16:25,847 --> 00:16:27,620
you up against a rock. So you really

471
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:30,100
needed rock sliders. Yeah. Bob kat, I took

472
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:31,540
Bob kat went up there when I did

473
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:33,700
it. Bob probably could have done it in

474
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,379
2 wheel drive. Like, and not hit a

475
00:16:35,379 --> 00:16:37,466
single thing. And them go in either whatever

476
00:16:37,466 --> 00:16:38,500
way you want. You know, like,

477
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:41,523
choose your choose your own desire. Yeah.

478
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,318
I did it with Brennan from Trail 4

479
00:16:44,318 --> 00:16:46,615
r, and he was in the white 4

480
00:16:46,615 --> 00:16:49,309
runner, the original white 4 runner. Okay. Without

481
00:16:49,309 --> 00:16:49,785
a bumper,

482
00:16:50,751 --> 00:16:51,251
with.

483
00:16:51,862 --> 00:16:54,480
No... Yeah. No portals, no bumper. I think

484
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,750
it it had rock sliders,

485
00:16:56,305 --> 00:16:58,938
and I think he's came slightly came down

486
00:16:59,176 --> 00:17:01,001
not hard on the rock slider on the

487
00:17:01,001 --> 00:17:02,349
line we took them, but that was it,

488
00:17:02,508 --> 00:17:04,983
Like, it wasn't hard. Yep. So going and

489
00:17:04,983 --> 00:17:06,653
going down that is really the only obstacle,

490
00:17:06,811 --> 00:17:09,140
but then there's just sort of a fairly

491
00:17:09,197 --> 00:17:10,412
flat, smoothest ish

492
00:17:10,787 --> 00:17:12,615
dirt road out to the campsite sites. Yep.

493
00:17:12,775 --> 00:17:14,126
About a mile and a half long. Yeah.

494
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:16,615
So not difficult to get to. The 4

495
00:17:16,615 --> 00:17:18,153
by 4 air camping area

496
00:17:18,610 --> 00:17:21,005
does because it... There's a lot of signs

497
00:17:21,005 --> 00:17:22,761
at the entrance to, the 4 by 4

498
00:17:22,761 --> 00:17:25,487
road there. I don't say prohibits. People deter.

499
00:17:25,885 --> 00:17:27,080
Deter. Thank you. It deter a lot of

500
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,152
people from going down there. Mh. So typically,

501
00:17:29,312 --> 00:17:30,746
it's not super busy.

502
00:17:31,238 --> 00:17:32,744
Kinda depends on time of year in which

503
00:17:32,744 --> 00:17:34,487
weekend you go. It can get busy in

504
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:36,230
there and there is very limited space.

505
00:17:37,101 --> 00:17:39,820
And to top it off this year, they

506
00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:41,972
just started doing reservations for the 4 by

507
00:17:41,972 --> 00:17:44,364
4 years. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. So it's

508
00:17:44,364 --> 00:17:46,119
not first come for serve anymore. You're supposed

509
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:46,996
to get reservations.

510
00:17:47,808 --> 00:17:49,745
You could show up. And if

511
00:17:50,123 --> 00:17:52,118
they're full, you might be able to still

512
00:17:52,118 --> 00:17:54,513
find space at Gold lake, the regular camping,

513
00:17:54,673 --> 00:17:55,550
the peasant camping,

514
00:17:56,124 --> 00:17:58,663
which in my opinion camping, the paved camping.

515
00:17:58,901 --> 00:18:01,996
Yeah. In my opinion, it... That's a better

516
00:18:01,996 --> 00:18:03,504
camping spot than the 4x by 4 area.

517
00:18:03,663 --> 00:18:06,306
Really? Yes. Because the 4 by 4 camping

518
00:18:06,306 --> 00:18:08,700
spots. You're almost... You literally are parking on

519
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,973
the lake. Pretty much. Yeah. The cool thing

520
00:18:11,973 --> 00:18:12,872
about the

521
00:18:13,584 --> 00:18:15,601
the the peasant area of the paved area

522
00:18:15,739 --> 00:18:19,651
is that there's no bad campsite. Okay. They

523
00:18:19,651 --> 00:18:21,806
they have every campsite kinda laid out in

524
00:18:21,806 --> 00:18:22,546
a row

525
00:18:22,858 --> 00:18:24,529
all the way down the lake shore. Sure.

526
00:18:24,847 --> 00:18:28,347
So every campsite is... Has lake front property

527
00:18:28,347 --> 00:18:30,905
pretty much. Okay. It's a really cool spot.

528
00:18:31,064 --> 00:18:32,414
And you just look out over the lake

529
00:18:32,414 --> 00:18:32,969
and almost

530
00:18:33,604 --> 00:18:35,351
I'd say every 2 to 3 campsite sites

531
00:18:35,351 --> 00:18:37,177
there's a little beach that people just have

532
00:18:37,177 --> 00:18:38,447
made from traversing there. Yeah.

533
00:18:39,338 --> 00:18:39,838
So

534
00:18:40,296 --> 00:18:42,053
if it's it's not super busy, and you

535
00:18:42,053 --> 00:18:43,649
have your own little private beach there too,

536
00:18:44,128 --> 00:18:46,284
and it's just... It's absolutely gorgeous, There's no

537
00:18:46,284 --> 00:18:47,960
bad campsite sites at Gold Lake. Yeah.

538
00:18:48,614 --> 00:18:50,603
At the peasant 1. At the peasant 1.

539
00:18:50,921 --> 00:18:52,911
The off road 1 doesn't have bad spots

540
00:18:52,911 --> 00:18:54,901
either does just camping on both sides of

541
00:18:54,901 --> 00:18:56,970
the road, And you're... It's a dirt road.

542
00:18:57,129 --> 00:18:59,289
So if it's hot, and dry, it might

543
00:18:59,289 --> 00:19:02,862
get dusty. Yep. And the only camping slash

544
00:19:02,862 --> 00:19:05,775
swimming, the only swimming beach spots that I

545
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:07,572
that I saw. Granted, I didn't stop there.

546
00:19:08,531 --> 00:19:09,031
Were

547
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:10,150
through

548
00:19:10,848 --> 00:19:13,006
other people's campaign spots. Yeah. And that's the

549
00:19:13,006 --> 00:19:14,855
downside. Right? If you end getting there late,

550
00:19:15,014 --> 00:19:16,761
You don't get 1 of the waterfront ones.

551
00:19:17,397 --> 00:19:18,747
You're kinda back a little bit, and you

552
00:19:18,747 --> 00:19:20,494
have to hike through people's campsite to get

553
00:19:20,494 --> 00:19:21,924
to the waterfront, which I always hate doing.

554
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,558
Yeah. And there's no camp post at the

555
00:19:24,558 --> 00:19:26,303
4 by 4 area, which is a good

556
00:19:26,303 --> 00:19:28,604
and bad thing, but I found that the

557
00:19:28,604 --> 00:19:30,191
4 by 4 area is a lot also

558
00:19:30,191 --> 00:19:32,429
more dense. All the campsite are right on

559
00:19:32,429 --> 00:19:35,050
top of each other. Whereas the campground ground,

560
00:19:35,209 --> 00:19:37,035
the paved area is much more spread. So

561
00:19:37,035 --> 00:19:38,488
you're less likely to

562
00:19:38,862 --> 00:19:40,133
have a bad neighbor,

563
00:19:41,024 --> 00:19:42,942
or people that refused to turn the music

564
00:19:42,942 --> 00:19:45,419
off at 2AM. Yeah. So it's a it's...

565
00:19:46,299 --> 00:19:47,737
You get the benefit of being down the

566
00:19:47,737 --> 00:19:49,735
4 by 4 area, it's a little more

567
00:19:49,735 --> 00:19:52,375
shade down that route down there, but you

568
00:19:52,375 --> 00:19:54,226
have in my opinion in a better camping

569
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,142
experience if you like quieter camping. Sure. In

570
00:19:57,142 --> 00:19:59,302
the the paved area. Oh, it's exhausting. Yeah.

571
00:19:59,779 --> 00:20:02,081
Toilets. There are toilets out at the 4

572
00:20:02,081 --> 00:20:04,145
by 4 camping. Yes. There a pit toilets

573
00:20:04,225 --> 00:20:06,210
there. Yeah. That's... I remember that. There have,

574
00:20:06,289 --> 00:20:09,406
like, dedicated buildings. Yep. So somebody must come

575
00:20:09,406 --> 00:20:10,682
out there and clean them up. So they

576
00:20:10,682 --> 00:20:12,357
get through the gatekeeper or they have another

577
00:20:12,357 --> 00:20:13,633
way around. I'm not sure which it is.

578
00:20:13,793 --> 00:20:16,425
But... Yeah. There are toilets pit toilets out

579
00:20:16,425 --> 00:20:17,961
there in nice

580
00:20:18,274 --> 00:20:19,550
you know, buildings. Yeah. Nice.

581
00:20:20,347 --> 00:20:23,057
Concrete buildings. Yeah. So that's cool. The the

582
00:20:23,057 --> 00:20:24,333
other that Nice thing about Gold lake is

583
00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:26,700
that there's another... There's an actual off road

584
00:20:26,819 --> 00:20:28,498
trail. That's not super difficult.

585
00:20:29,137 --> 00:20:31,375
That's a big loop. Yeah. There's a lot

586
00:20:31,375 --> 00:20:33,692
of off trails out there. Yeah. Yeah. There's

587
00:20:34,092 --> 00:20:35,371
the 1 I think we're gonna talk about

588
00:20:35,371 --> 00:20:37,299
a snake lake. Mh. But, you know, once

589
00:20:37,299 --> 00:20:39,445
you get up there, there's all kinds of

590
00:20:39,445 --> 00:20:41,432
split offs and turns and directions to go,

591
00:20:41,671 --> 00:20:43,817
there's a camp or not a campground. There's

592
00:20:43,817 --> 00:20:44,269
a

593
00:20:44,787 --> 00:20:47,813
fire lookout tower out that direction as well

594
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,087
that you can get to, which I've never

595
00:20:49,087 --> 00:20:50,520
gone to, but I want to. Mh.

596
00:20:51,157 --> 00:20:53,242
I don't think you can drive all the

597
00:20:53,242 --> 00:20:54,438
way up to it, but I think you

598
00:20:54,438 --> 00:20:56,031
can drive a good chunk of the way

599
00:20:56,031 --> 00:20:57,784
out there, and then you have to hike

600
00:20:57,784 --> 00:20:59,617
a little bit. You can get to that

601
00:20:59,617 --> 00:21:00,117
from

602
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:01,390
the Gold Lakes

603
00:21:01,710 --> 00:21:03,710
area, and you can get to it from

604
00:21:03,870 --> 00:21:04,670
Highway 49.

605
00:21:04,990 --> 00:21:06,750
Okay. So you can come you can tack

606
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:09,414
it from both sides. Okay. But Snake lake

607
00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:11,217
is a fun trial. Have you done the

608
00:21:11,217 --> 00:21:13,361
snake lake? Not done snake. Yeah. Yeah. So

609
00:21:13,441 --> 00:21:15,188
Snake lake a good good little trail. It

610
00:21:15,188 --> 00:21:17,423
has there are a few spots in there

611
00:21:17,423 --> 00:21:19,483
that I had to go and look at

612
00:21:19,483 --> 00:21:21,860
while driving Bob. Okay. Right? I wouldn't say

613
00:21:21,860 --> 00:21:24,096
they're the absolute. The hardest things to do.

614
00:21:24,334 --> 00:21:26,636
U. But, you know, they did make you

615
00:21:26,636 --> 00:21:28,462
have to pay attention. Okay wasn't 1 that

616
00:21:28,462 --> 00:21:30,288
you could just simply drive. There was

617
00:21:31,179 --> 00:21:34,055
let's say we did the loop counterclockwise to

618
00:21:34,055 --> 00:21:35,733
get down to the leg, and there was

619
00:21:35,733 --> 00:21:39,340
a few drops and, downhill dissent that were

620
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:41,564
fairly difficult, some, like, sort of off cam

621
00:21:41,564 --> 00:21:42,516
leaning towards a wall

622
00:21:43,072 --> 00:21:44,422
Scenarios. And then on the way out,

623
00:21:45,296 --> 00:21:46,645
it was sort of the opposite. Like, there

624
00:21:46,645 --> 00:21:47,836
was climbing back climbing

625
00:21:48,329 --> 00:21:49,844
It's it's a loop. Right? So you're not

626
00:21:49,844 --> 00:21:51,439
going the same way. Yeah. And it was

627
00:21:51,439 --> 00:21:52,955
a loop and you're climbing out, and then

628
00:21:52,955 --> 00:21:54,869
you're leaning away from a wall, Like, off,

629
00:21:55,268 --> 00:21:56,623
kind of off the side of the mountain

630
00:21:56,783 --> 00:21:57,501
Okay scenario.

631
00:21:58,154 --> 00:22:00,154
And a few pinch points in there as

632
00:22:00,154 --> 00:22:02,815
well. But the entire trail has

633
00:22:03,595 --> 00:22:06,714
fantastic views. Really gorgeous views out down the

634
00:22:06,714 --> 00:22:07,214
valley

635
00:22:08,009 --> 00:22:09,927
over, you know, at some point, you can

636
00:22:09,927 --> 00:22:12,644
look down at Gold Lakes. There's also a

637
00:22:12,644 --> 00:22:14,642
ton of lakes out there. Once you leave

638
00:22:14,722 --> 00:22:16,081
Gold Lake and you drive up the mountain.

639
00:22:16,241 --> 00:22:17,934
There's a lake right at top and then

640
00:22:17,934 --> 00:22:20,095
you drive kinda... When we went counterclockwise. There

641
00:22:20,095 --> 00:22:21,615
was another lake off to the side, and

642
00:22:21,615 --> 00:22:23,375
then we drove down and there was another

643
00:22:23,375 --> 00:22:24,974
lake and then we drove to snake lake.

644
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:27,629
Nice. Yeah. And so there's lakes all over

645
00:22:27,629 --> 00:22:29,470
the place. Something it's really kind of a

646
00:22:29,470 --> 00:22:31,470
gorgeous area and you can... If you don't

647
00:22:31,470 --> 00:22:33,470
wanna do the harder trail of snake lake

648
00:22:33,470 --> 00:22:35,162
there... You just go drive around and find

649
00:22:35,162 --> 00:22:36,437
a lake thing then, and you can probably

650
00:22:36,437 --> 00:22:37,713
camp at it. It's not that big of

651
00:22:37,713 --> 00:22:38,830
a deal out in that area.

652
00:22:39,388 --> 00:22:43,509
There are probably more designated, already prepared camp

653
00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:45,692
like, ground, not a campsite site, but, like,

654
00:22:46,169 --> 00:22:48,312
a space that people have camped at before

655
00:22:48,312 --> 00:22:50,614
camping area source camping area. So don't go

656
00:22:50,614 --> 00:22:52,042
trump and through the weeds or whatever to

657
00:22:52,042 --> 00:22:52,122
go.

658
00:22:52,853 --> 00:22:54,925
Create your own campground. Mh. Or campsite site

659
00:22:54,925 --> 00:22:57,395
or disperse camping location. But, yeah, Find somewhere

660
00:22:57,395 --> 00:22:58,910
that somebody else is capped out, and there's

661
00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:01,017
probably firing like, rock

662
00:23:01,389 --> 00:23:03,053
fire rings already and out there and everything.

663
00:23:03,211 --> 00:23:05,589
But, yeah. This snake lake Loop is a

664
00:23:05,589 --> 00:23:08,404
lot of fun. It's a good good obstacle

665
00:23:08,461 --> 00:23:11,352
definitely a step up from the Gold Lakes

666
00:23:11,409 --> 00:23:11,648
entrance.

667
00:23:12,365 --> 00:23:14,379
2, I would say 2 primarily

668
00:23:15,329 --> 00:23:17,663
hard obstacles. 1 is the pinch point

669
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,316
for us, which was on the way out,

670
00:23:19,715 --> 00:23:21,810
and 1 was the off cam, like, downhill

671
00:23:21,948 --> 00:23:23,942
rocky sort of section on the way in.

672
00:23:24,181 --> 00:23:25,232
Look up. And,

673
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:27,857
you end up at Snake lakes, Snake lake

674
00:23:27,857 --> 00:23:30,403
is just a gorgeous, like Mountain lake that's

675
00:23:30,403 --> 00:23:32,250
sort of on the side of a like

676
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:33,130
a the mountain.

677
00:23:34,570 --> 00:23:35,390
We drove

678
00:23:36,009 --> 00:23:37,930
down almost all the way to the lake,

679
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,744
and there was obviously a trail that went

680
00:23:40,744 --> 00:23:43,705
down there and on this, like Jetty in

681
00:23:43,705 --> 00:23:45,005
place to, like, with

682
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:48,480
multiple vehicles could get down to with multiple

683
00:23:48,598 --> 00:23:52,509
fire rock rings and Just an absolute gorgeous

684
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,182
scenario with the sun setting,

685
00:23:55,674 --> 00:23:57,912
you know, down the mountain from us glowing

686
00:23:57,912 --> 00:24:00,469
on the mountains side similar to or barrett.

687
00:24:01,748 --> 00:24:04,245
Yeah. Just... It was a very nice

688
00:24:05,038 --> 00:24:06,475
time of year for us when we went

689
00:24:06,475 --> 00:24:08,231
there. I don't remember when it was because

690
00:24:08,231 --> 00:24:09,269
it was, like, 4 years ago.

691
00:24:10,546 --> 00:24:12,541
It was cold though. It, like, froze overnight.

692
00:24:13,595 --> 00:24:15,195
Yeah. When we were there. What was there,

693
00:24:15,275 --> 00:24:16,654
like, in heavy fog

694
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,515
super. Yeah. It was... Yeah. It was a

695
00:24:19,515 --> 00:24:20,015
weird

696
00:24:20,315 --> 00:24:20,555
day.

697
00:24:21,367 --> 00:24:22,640
Okay. And like, yeah, we had... I think

698
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,436
we got rained on.

699
00:24:24,073 --> 00:24:25,744
We... It was super... I don't think it

700
00:24:25,744 --> 00:24:27,098
was fog. I just think it was, well,

701
00:24:27,655 --> 00:24:29,583
fog is low clouds. But I think it

702
00:24:29,583 --> 00:24:30,723
was just the cloud

703
00:24:31,181 --> 00:24:32,060
level was low.

704
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:34,457
At 1 point, like, we were in the

705
00:24:34,457 --> 00:24:36,215
cloud and the sun was setting and, like,

706
00:24:36,295 --> 00:24:37,923
the whole sky

707
00:24:38,297 --> 00:24:40,203
glow like, it was glowing orange. Oh, that

708
00:24:40,203 --> 00:24:41,791
would be cool. It was rad. I have

709
00:24:41,791 --> 00:24:43,141
such a cool photo. Maybe I'll try to

710
00:24:43,141 --> 00:24:43,935
make it the thumbnail.

711
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:45,705
From that day,

712
00:24:46,424 --> 00:24:47,865
just Bob cad on the side of this

713
00:24:47,865 --> 00:24:49,384
hill. Oh, I take it back. There was

714
00:24:49,384 --> 00:24:52,025
another fairly difficult spot on the way up

715
00:24:52,025 --> 00:24:52,825
to Snake Lake,

716
00:24:53,465 --> 00:24:53,965
but

717
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:56,596
I think it was really only difficult because

718
00:24:56,596 --> 00:24:57,076
it was wet.

719
00:24:57,875 --> 00:24:59,872
But it was like, a few sort of

720
00:24:59,872 --> 00:25:01,550
ledge that you had to get up. Mh.

721
00:25:02,283 --> 00:25:04,589
Bob Kat did it really. No problem, Brennan

722
00:25:04,589 --> 00:25:07,293
had struggled a little bit. But Brennan also

723
00:25:07,293 --> 00:25:08,724
at that time had a really heavy foot,

724
00:25:08,963 --> 00:25:10,712
and so he kept breaking himself loose. And

725
00:25:10,712 --> 00:25:12,318
so I think that's why he was and

726
00:25:12,557 --> 00:25:15,604
some problems. Okay. But, yeah. It's a

727
00:25:16,059 --> 00:25:18,151
high mountain granite forest

728
00:25:19,004 --> 00:25:20,437
loop, which was absolutely gorgeous.

729
00:25:21,073 --> 00:25:21,573
And

730
00:25:22,122 --> 00:25:23,947
for a lot of the trail you're in

731
00:25:23,947 --> 00:25:26,406
driving in the forest, which is it's really

732
00:25:26,406 --> 00:25:28,390
fun. It's a good... It's a fun loop,

733
00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:30,269
and I would probably say for that

734
00:25:30,788 --> 00:25:31,927
you need minimum

735
00:25:32,704 --> 00:25:35,818
30 fives rock protection, and that's about it.

736
00:25:36,057 --> 00:25:37,255
I don't think you really need do a

737
00:25:37,255 --> 00:25:38,452
little bit more ground clearance. You just need

738
00:25:38,452 --> 00:25:41,339
the traction there. Okay. Ground clearance and some

739
00:25:41,339 --> 00:25:42,795
good tires. The.

740
00:25:43,570 --> 00:25:44,446
How long does it take to do that

741
00:25:44,446 --> 00:25:46,439
loop? It was a while. I would say

742
00:25:46,439 --> 00:25:48,127
it would take all day. Okay. It would...

743
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:51,156
We're a bunch, like, a solid, like, 6

744
00:25:51,156 --> 00:25:51,474
hours.

745
00:25:52,032 --> 00:25:53,945
Okay. You know, Like, if you're staying at

746
00:25:54,025 --> 00:25:55,141
Gold lakes? Yeah.

747
00:25:55,714 --> 00:25:57,387
And you wheel the loop. Mh.

748
00:25:58,024 --> 00:25:59,878
I think because I think what we did

749
00:26:00,255 --> 00:26:03,282
is we drove up there and wheeled all

750
00:26:03,282 --> 00:26:04,876
the way to Gold Lake in 1 day.

751
00:26:05,289 --> 00:26:08,073
From our houses in sacramento. Wow. Okay. But

752
00:26:08,073 --> 00:26:09,266
if you're if you're staying in at Gold

753
00:26:09,346 --> 00:26:10,618
Lakes and you wanna do the loop. I'd

754
00:26:10,618 --> 00:26:13,019
say it'd be 4 to for a chat

755
00:26:13,019 --> 00:26:14,687
4 to 6 hours. Okay. If you wanna

756
00:26:14,687 --> 00:26:16,674
do the whole thing. Alright. Yeah. I know

757
00:26:16,674 --> 00:26:19,455
that the the Matt Hat did our... They

758
00:26:19,455 --> 00:26:21,774
used do the summer picnic. Yeah. At Gold

759
00:26:21,774 --> 00:26:23,682
lake all the time. So we've done it

760
00:26:23,682 --> 00:26:25,431
once since I've been a member at Mad

761
00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:25,908
Hat,

762
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:28,372
And it was. It was a great twice.

763
00:26:28,531 --> 00:26:30,042
Sorry. It's twice since I've been a member

764
00:26:30,042 --> 00:26:31,815
there. And each time they went out and

765
00:26:31,815 --> 00:26:33,734
did the the loop, and I didn't go.

766
00:26:34,055 --> 00:26:35,815
I don't wide. Didn't have the 4 run

767
00:26:35,815 --> 00:26:36,875
each time. But

768
00:26:37,335 --> 00:26:39,740
they were... They left at 8 or 9AM,

769
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:41,485
8AM, I think, and they were back by

770
00:26:41,485 --> 00:26:44,576
1PM each time. Yeah. So noon 1PM.

771
00:26:45,132 --> 00:26:47,529
So it's 5 hours? Yeah 5 hours here.

772
00:26:47,768 --> 00:26:49,837
So it's a it's just a it's a

773
00:26:49,837 --> 00:26:52,463
really cool spot. Like, I wanna get up

774
00:26:52,463 --> 00:26:54,157
and do the snake lick loop

775
00:26:54,628 --> 00:26:57,740
section, but I'd love going and just camping

776
00:26:57,740 --> 00:26:59,654
at Cold Lake. Yeah. It's such a cool

777
00:26:59,654 --> 00:27:01,170
way right to to just go and camp

778
00:27:01,170 --> 00:27:03,495
at. Yeah. It would be fantastic for, like,

779
00:27:03,654 --> 00:27:05,805
a long weekend. Mh. Or you drive up

780
00:27:05,805 --> 00:27:08,353
there on a Friday. Yep. You know, in

781
00:27:08,353 --> 00:27:10,319
the in the morning or whatever or off

782
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,351
afternoon and say, like, what everybody has Monday

783
00:27:12,351 --> 00:27:14,263
off or whatever. Yeah. Drive up there after

784
00:27:14,263 --> 00:27:15,936
work on a Friday. It... For us in

785
00:27:16,016 --> 00:27:17,393
Sacramento, it takes

786
00:27:17,863 --> 00:27:19,687
3 hours to get there. Mh.

787
00:27:20,163 --> 00:27:22,860
About 2 3... Say to the campground, probably

788
00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:24,209
for sure, 3 ish hours. Yeah.

789
00:27:24,939 --> 00:27:27,247
And then the next day, you can do

790
00:27:27,247 --> 00:27:29,714
the loop. Mh. Or hang out or vice

791
00:27:29,714 --> 00:27:31,466
versa the following day. Yeah. And then you

792
00:27:31,466 --> 00:27:33,311
go home on Monday. Yeah. That would be

793
00:27:33,311 --> 00:27:35,301
a great time. Yep. Up there at at

794
00:27:35,301 --> 00:27:36,973
the Gold Lakes. If you wanted to do...

795
00:27:37,211 --> 00:27:38,644
If you wanna drive up their Camp Gold

796
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:41,509
Lakes, wheel the snake lake loop, the next

797
00:27:41,509 --> 00:27:42,146
day come back.

798
00:27:42,878 --> 00:27:44,791
Sleep, drive home. That's still a fine day.

799
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:46,464
It's just a lot... Like, you're not enjoying

800
00:27:46,544 --> 00:27:47,421
Gold Lake. Yeah.

801
00:27:48,138 --> 00:27:50,345
Yeah. It's it's 6 1 way half another

802
00:27:50,543 --> 00:27:51,577
dozen the other. It's what do you wanna

803
00:27:51,577 --> 00:27:53,327
do? Do you wanna sit down, relax and

804
00:27:53,327 --> 00:27:54,998
enjoy the lake Or do you wheel? You

805
00:27:54,998 --> 00:27:56,589
know, that's up to you. However you wanna

806
00:27:56,589 --> 00:27:59,391
attack that. Yeah. So cool spot, lots of

807
00:27:59,391 --> 00:27:59,789
different

808
00:28:00,586 --> 00:28:03,454
highlights to that area. Yeah. Absolutely. Before we

809
00:28:03,454 --> 00:28:04,489
go on to the next 1, I thought,

810
00:28:04,728 --> 00:28:06,401
I might talk about pork flats a little

811
00:28:06,401 --> 00:28:09,598
bit. Okay. Because that all there. Right? It's

812
00:28:09,598 --> 00:28:11,507
outside of Down. You're kind of outside of

813
00:28:11,507 --> 00:28:13,576
down with the gold lakes. It's not... I

814
00:28:13,576 --> 00:28:14,947
would say it's like at the bottom of

815
00:28:14,947 --> 00:28:17,021
these mountains. Right? Or you're kind of down

816
00:28:17,021 --> 00:28:19,495
below the mountain pass in this area. But

817
00:28:19,575 --> 00:28:21,352
Poker flats is a cool

818
00:28:22,063 --> 00:28:23,656
Man, it's... I... I... We were talking about

819
00:28:23,656 --> 00:28:25,647
it off air. I think it's been 20

820
00:28:25,647 --> 00:28:27,798
years since I've done Poker flats. I think

821
00:28:27,957 --> 00:28:29,869
Bob Cat was still on 30 threes. Or

822
00:28:29,869 --> 00:28:30,506
open open.

823
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:33,397
Lifted a few inches. U. And was it

824
00:28:33,397 --> 00:28:35,155
was... At that time, it was a piece

825
00:28:35,155 --> 00:28:37,712
of cake. A bob cat. Okay. So I...

826
00:28:37,872 --> 00:28:39,151
You know, if you have a truck on

827
00:28:39,151 --> 00:28:39,710
30 ones.

828
00:28:40,284 --> 00:28:41,721
Like, you might find. You might hit some

829
00:28:41,721 --> 00:28:43,557
deaths. I know you are probably gonna be

830
00:28:43,557 --> 00:28:45,952
fine. I know that there's Subaru that go

831
00:28:45,952 --> 00:28:48,267
through Poker flat. Yeah. So the cool thing

832
00:28:48,267 --> 00:28:49,305
about Poker flats though.

833
00:28:50,037 --> 00:28:51,648
Is it's an old binding

834
00:28:52,259 --> 00:28:54,720
trail and road. So it's super it's cobb

835
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,101
s. It's really rocky. It's there's some off

836
00:28:57,101 --> 00:28:59,338
camera stuff. There's a few river 1 river

837
00:28:59,338 --> 00:29:01,322
crossing, maybe 2 river crossings, I can't remember.

838
00:29:01,481 --> 00:29:03,465
There's at least 1 river crossing. Okay. But

839
00:29:03,465 --> 00:29:05,449
when you get out to poker flats, it's

840
00:29:05,449 --> 00:29:06,957
an old mining town that's abandoned.

841
00:29:07,687 --> 00:29:09,833
So there's these old buildings and, like, you

842
00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:12,933
know, these old foundations and everything around. That's

843
00:29:12,933 --> 00:29:14,762
that's really kinda cool to get to. Yeah.

844
00:29:15,334 --> 00:29:16,928
I'm trying to remember back. Don't quote me

845
00:29:16,928 --> 00:29:18,602
on the times. But from, like Downing, it's

846
00:29:18,602 --> 00:29:21,073
like an hour or so to poker or

847
00:29:21,073 --> 00:29:22,827
flat, and then you can come back to

848
00:29:22,906 --> 00:29:25,314
Down or you can continue around the loop.

849
00:29:25,872 --> 00:29:27,728
And then from there, it's a long

850
00:29:28,185 --> 00:29:30,339
ways, oh, around the Once you're at the...

851
00:29:30,498 --> 00:29:31,774
Once you're on in poker flat, it's a

852
00:29:31,774 --> 00:29:34,583
long with. If you got a few hours

853
00:29:34,583 --> 00:29:36,981
of driving the other direction to to loop

854
00:29:36,981 --> 00:29:38,739
back around because the trail goes on, and

855
00:29:38,739 --> 00:29:39,378
then you get to a,

856
00:29:40,177 --> 00:29:42,908
pavement, and then you drive pavement back And

857
00:29:42,988 --> 00:29:44,663
I want to say and I I could

858
00:29:44,663 --> 00:29:47,295
be completely wrong on this. But I wanna

859
00:29:47,295 --> 00:29:50,485
say that the loop out of poker flat

860
00:29:50,485 --> 00:29:53,049
goes past the secret spot. Oh,

861
00:29:53,764 --> 00:29:55,193
that would make sense. That's all kinda of

862
00:29:55,193 --> 00:29:56,701
right in that area kind of that same

863
00:29:56,701 --> 00:29:59,083
gym area. So I don't. Once again, it's

864
00:29:59,083 --> 00:30:00,830
been so long and Done it. I don't.

865
00:30:01,068 --> 00:30:03,000
I because I swear the first time we

866
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,759
went to the secret spot. I was like,

867
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,400
I've been here. I know where I... I

868
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,640
know that there's something, like, poker flats around

869
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,494
this general area. I I think it is.

870
00:30:11,734 --> 00:30:13,815
I haven't done poker flats before, but I've

871
00:30:13,974 --> 00:30:15,255
I've looked at... I remember looking it up

872
00:30:15,255 --> 00:30:17,015
and thinking it's up in the Quincy area.

873
00:30:17,429 --> 00:30:19,981
Yeah. That's not Quincy. It's down. Yeah. Well,

874
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:20,938
I mean, the other...

875
00:30:21,656 --> 00:30:23,889
Because it north from Down, which is North.

876
00:30:24,129 --> 00:30:25,724
North from Down is pretty much quincy area.

877
00:30:25,963 --> 00:30:27,214
Kind of Yeah. But it goes

878
00:30:28,049 --> 00:30:28,287
away.

879
00:30:29,162 --> 00:30:31,148
Okay. Yeah. Got it. I don't know. We'll

880
00:30:31,148 --> 00:30:32,340
have to draw it up on a or

881
00:30:32,340 --> 00:30:34,645
something side. We need a Tv instead of.

882
00:30:34,804 --> 00:30:37,045
If if only we had Onyx, available on

883
00:30:37,045 --> 00:30:39,113
our phones right now. We this up. Yeah.

884
00:30:39,908 --> 00:30:41,738
But we'd debbie cool to that... Like, if

885
00:30:41,738 --> 00:30:42,772
we had a Tv, that would be something

886
00:30:42,772 --> 00:30:44,384
we could Show. And be like, here. What

887
00:30:44,384 --> 00:30:46,865
is. Yeah. Absolutely. Poker is fun. And super

888
00:30:46,865 --> 00:30:47,184
basic.

889
00:30:47,984 --> 00:30:49,105
It's fun to get out to the old

890
00:30:49,105 --> 00:30:51,585
guy. Gal, like, gold mining area, and that's

891
00:30:51,585 --> 00:30:53,514
really about all I remember. I really came

892
00:30:53,514 --> 00:30:54,943
in the other way, so I did the

893
00:30:54,943 --> 00:30:56,928
long stretched the first day and then went

894
00:30:56,928 --> 00:30:58,914
to Poker flats and then Down the second

895
00:30:58,914 --> 00:31:01,137
day. Mh. And I just remember a lot

896
00:31:01,137 --> 00:31:01,637
of

897
00:31:02,344 --> 00:31:05,134
like, river rock that you're just driving across

898
00:31:05,134 --> 00:31:05,693
for hours.

899
00:31:06,570 --> 00:31:08,164
Okay. Like, and I was... And you don't

900
00:31:08,164 --> 00:31:10,317
like those trails. Oh, well, and big like

901
00:31:10,317 --> 00:31:10,817
there

902
00:31:11,529 --> 00:31:14,250
like, basketball size. Yeah. You know, rocks that,

903
00:31:14,330 --> 00:31:16,250
you know, you just... Is it worse than

904
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:18,650
what more springs? Oh, yeah. Oh jeez. So

905
00:31:18,650 --> 00:31:20,651
okay That... Well, the problem with went where

906
00:31:20,809 --> 00:31:22,102
Springs is that

907
00:31:22,475 --> 00:31:25,093
they're, like, softball size rocks. Maybe a little

908
00:31:25,093 --> 00:31:27,100
bigger. Okay. That are just

909
00:31:27,646 --> 00:31:28,146
annoying...

910
00:31:28,758 --> 00:31:31,221
It's annoying that you... It looks flat enough

911
00:31:31,221 --> 00:31:33,151
that you can drive fast, but you should

912
00:31:33,445 --> 00:31:33,525
can't.

913
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:36,964
The this trail on the way out was

914
00:31:37,911 --> 00:31:39,744
messed up enough that you know you can't

915
00:31:39,744 --> 00:31:42,932
drive fast. Okay. And you shouldn't because it's

916
00:31:42,932 --> 00:31:45,655
just bat, like, the... It's really really rocky.

917
00:31:45,893 --> 00:31:48,040
Yeah. But it's not a challenge of Rocky.

918
00:31:48,278 --> 00:31:50,186
Right? It's such a, like, a difficult Rocky

919
00:31:50,186 --> 00:31:53,048
section. Okay. It's just rocky, and you just

920
00:31:53,048 --> 00:31:54,263
go straight. And

921
00:31:54,733 --> 00:31:56,804
You just bounce along. Okay. We went with

922
00:31:56,804 --> 00:31:57,623
a stock

923
00:31:57,999 --> 00:31:58,636
Chevy Tahoe.

924
00:31:59,273 --> 00:32:01,344
Okay. And it did fine. Yeah. I think

925
00:32:01,344 --> 00:32:02,778
there was, like, 1 of the sections coming

926
00:32:02,778 --> 00:32:03,335
out of the river.

927
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:05,525
Because a lot of people go from Down

928
00:32:05,663 --> 00:32:07,418
2 poker flats and then you drop into

929
00:32:07,418 --> 00:32:09,172
the river there. But since we went the

930
00:32:09,172 --> 00:32:10,368
other way, there was a climb out of

931
00:32:10,368 --> 00:32:11,565
the river, and I think that was the

932
00:32:11,565 --> 00:32:12,283
only spot.

933
00:32:12,761 --> 00:32:14,930
Okay. That's like 20 years ago. 20 years

934
00:32:14,930 --> 00:32:16,047
ago. I wonder what the t looks like

935
00:32:16,047 --> 00:32:17,404
now it... Yeah. It I might be completely

936
00:32:17,404 --> 00:32:20,058
different and where I might be completely lying

937
00:32:20,196 --> 00:32:22,597
now. But It's the next 4 now and

938
00:32:22,597 --> 00:32:24,344
people are sending Subaru up there. Yeah. Right.

939
00:32:25,773 --> 00:32:27,759
Yeah. I wonder what color it it is

940
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:30,162
on Op. Look at that before you go

941
00:32:30,162 --> 00:32:31,120
on the trail. Yeah.

942
00:32:31,838 --> 00:32:34,233
Alright. Coming down the line. Strawberry pass, both

943
00:32:34,233 --> 00:32:36,569
of us have done this in the fair

944
00:32:37,186 --> 00:32:39,833
recent future. Or masks since. Cal.

945
00:32:40,391 --> 00:32:41,666
Yeah. And neither of us have done it

946
00:32:41,666 --> 00:32:44,137
since Cal. The Cal fire we're talking about.

947
00:32:44,456 --> 00:32:46,861
Yeah. Massive fire went to right through that

948
00:32:46,861 --> 00:32:48,372
trail, and they turned to the trail into

949
00:32:48,372 --> 00:32:50,224
a fire line that didn't hold

950
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:53,200
in in some parts. So Yeah. The whole

951
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:55,145
t got bull dose, but I did hear

952
00:32:55,145 --> 00:32:57,528
an update on it recently. Oh, good. The

953
00:32:57,528 --> 00:32:59,673
trail is in good condition. The all... It's

954
00:32:59,673 --> 00:33:00,967
still bull, the

955
00:33:01,833 --> 00:33:03,269
club that maintains it has not been able

956
00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:05,502
to go in and remake the obstacles yet.

957
00:33:05,981 --> 00:33:08,214
But there's a couple obstacles being made due

958
00:33:08,214 --> 00:33:10,947
to water erosion. Okay. In the area. So

959
00:33:11,419 --> 00:33:13,250
it's very easy to get through stock core

960
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,319
by fours can get there pretty much just

961
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:18,663
fine. In my opinion the all to strawberry

962
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:18,902
pass?

963
00:33:19,794 --> 00:33:22,664
Is the lookout area. Absolutely. That looks down

964
00:33:22,664 --> 00:33:24,180
over. I think it's Highway 88.

965
00:33:24,658 --> 00:33:27,609
Yeah. The strawberry goes Yes. 88. Yeah. Strawberry

966
00:33:27,609 --> 00:33:29,066
pass is a pass that goes

967
00:33:29,859 --> 00:33:32,117
between highway 88 and highway

968
00:33:32,656 --> 00:33:33,056
80?

969
00:33:33,775 --> 00:33:37,291
50. 50. Thank you. Yeah. 50 to 88

970
00:33:37,291 --> 00:33:40,255
is strawberry, and then 80 824

971
00:33:40,255 --> 00:33:41,128
is Deer Valley.

972
00:33:41,763 --> 00:33:43,748
So... Okay. Yeah. And it's... So if you

973
00:33:43,748 --> 00:33:46,367
come up the 88 side and go right

974
00:33:46,367 --> 00:33:49,720
behind mind, there's a... What was... What a

975
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,787
mill? What is that? It's a is that?

976
00:33:51,946 --> 00:33:53,297
It's on the lake? Is it's it's a

977
00:33:53,297 --> 00:33:54,092
power station.

978
00:33:54,983 --> 00:33:56,736
Power station lake there. It's gonna it's gonna

979
00:33:56,736 --> 00:33:57,851
come back to me 1 remote talk to

980
00:33:57,851 --> 00:33:59,365
this. But anyways, you go in that way,

981
00:33:59,604 --> 00:34:02,951
you climbing. You're climbing climbing climbing pretty steep

982
00:34:02,951 --> 00:34:04,088
climb for

983
00:34:04,878 --> 00:34:06,714
a mile 2 mile or something like that,

984
00:34:07,033 --> 00:34:08,630
and then you pop up up at the

985
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,465
top of this kind of big... I wanna

986
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:13,431
say, open granite area, but it says open

987
00:34:13,431 --> 00:34:16,001
ish area with some big granite rocks

988
00:34:16,376 --> 00:34:19,559
and just overlook the whole valley where highway

989
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:20,196
88 is.

990
00:34:20,768 --> 00:34:22,989
And it's a really cool observation area to

991
00:34:22,989 --> 00:34:25,765
go up and have lunch at cables. Cables.

992
00:34:25,924 --> 00:34:27,114
Thank you. Yep. Cape lake.

993
00:34:27,764 --> 00:34:29,516
So you can go up there, and that

994
00:34:29,516 --> 00:34:30,791
in my opinion is the all lure to

995
00:34:30,791 --> 00:34:33,500
strawberry. Other than other than that, it's a

996
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:36,447
way to get between Highway 88 and Highway

997
00:34:36,447 --> 00:34:36,766
50.

998
00:34:37,259 --> 00:34:38,771
If you don't wanna go all the way

999
00:34:38,771 --> 00:34:40,443
and around in into Nevada and come down

1000
00:34:40,443 --> 00:34:42,195
or all the way down through Sacramento and

1001
00:34:42,195 --> 00:34:45,163
go back up. Yeah. So Now it's probably

1002
00:34:45,553 --> 00:34:47,645
you can traverse it probably in a stock

1003
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:48,259
tacoma.

1004
00:34:48,975 --> 00:34:52,000
Third long, 4 or long bed, you can

1005
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,002
probably do the trail. Well, we took we

1006
00:34:54,002 --> 00:34:56,065
took Corey, la less Corey through in his

1007
00:34:56,065 --> 00:34:58,922
fore runner. Yeah. That had an e locker

1008
00:34:58,922 --> 00:35:00,454
in the rear and was on

1009
00:35:00,763 --> 00:35:02,534
30, 31 inch cars

1010
00:35:03,225 --> 00:35:05,687
and sliders and sliders. Yeah. So we took

1011
00:35:05,687 --> 00:35:07,196
that, but and now was before the fire.

1012
00:35:07,434 --> 00:35:09,023
Yes. That was before the fire. I'm gonna

1013
00:35:09,023 --> 00:35:11,502
go with it was harder than. Mh. Granted

1014
00:35:11,502 --> 00:35:13,093
neither of us have been up since the

1015
00:35:13,093 --> 00:35:16,115
fire. Mh. But, absolutely, the the all of

1016
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:18,523
that trip is there was a few hard

1017
00:35:18,523 --> 00:35:21,261
obstacles that there's a few climbs, but the

1018
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,679
grand jury, the grandeur.

1019
00:35:23,078 --> 00:35:26,195
Grandeur. Yeah not a grand jury. Greg grandeur.

1020
00:35:26,848 --> 00:35:28,918
Of that trail is that lookout point at

1021
00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:31,068
the very tip top. So if you wanna

1022
00:35:31,068 --> 00:35:31,966
make it an easy

1023
00:35:32,501 --> 00:35:35,144
lookout trip, then go up 88, if you

1024
00:35:35,144 --> 00:35:36,581
wanna do a little bit of off road,

1025
00:35:37,379 --> 00:35:38,177
go to

1026
00:35:38,896 --> 00:35:41,689
go up 50. 50 drag. Yep. It's a

1027
00:35:41,689 --> 00:35:44,256
it's a fun little trail off right off

1028
00:35:44,256 --> 00:35:45,925
the beaten path. Mh. So it's it wasn't

1029
00:35:45,925 --> 00:35:46,561
that bad. Yeah.

1030
00:35:47,514 --> 00:35:49,660
The club that maintains it, once they get

1031
00:35:49,660 --> 00:35:49,819
it,

1032
00:35:50,614 --> 00:35:51,590
the bull dosing

1033
00:35:52,123 --> 00:35:52,442
undone,

1034
00:35:53,013 --> 00:35:54,762
their goal is to maintain it at a

1035
00:35:54,762 --> 00:35:55,262
pretty

1036
00:35:55,795 --> 00:35:57,941
medium to easy level. It's not gonna be

1037
00:35:57,941 --> 00:36:00,030
a forest road, but it's gonna be easier

1038
00:36:00,087 --> 00:36:02,487
than Slick rock or Deer Valley. Shares the

1039
00:36:02,487 --> 00:36:05,112
goal. So... Yeah. Some so it'll be 30

1040
00:36:05,112 --> 00:36:06,941
ones with a law. Yeah. Yep. That makes

1041
00:36:06,941 --> 00:36:08,985
sense. There wasn't that... I mean, Bob cat

1042
00:36:09,421 --> 00:36:11,088
blinked an eye at it, you know, isn't

1043
00:36:11,088 --> 00:36:13,390
a very difficult trail. But if you're in

1044
00:36:13,390 --> 00:36:14,128
30 ones

1045
00:36:14,660 --> 00:36:16,882
and no lockers, you'd would have to choose

1046
00:36:16,882 --> 00:36:19,449
some of your lines. Yep. Yep next 1

1047
00:36:19,449 --> 00:36:21,929
down our list here is Niagara Rim. Yeah.

1048
00:36:22,170 --> 00:36:23,529
Can we do this 1 next because it's

1049
00:36:23,529 --> 00:36:25,690
really more in our area.

1050
00:36:26,264 --> 00:36:27,936
We... It's in, you know, like, that's in

1051
00:36:27,936 --> 00:36:31,121
the same, same historical area. Same general area

1052
00:36:31,121 --> 00:36:33,033
kind of a strawberry pass. It's really more...

1053
00:36:33,272 --> 00:36:34,706
It's closer to the Rub.

1054
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:36,079
To anything. Yep.

1055
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,219
So

1056
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:40,319
we're we're talking about Hell hole. Yeah. We've

1057
00:36:40,319 --> 00:36:41,599
trying of... We've talked about Hell hole in

1058
00:36:41,599 --> 00:36:41,920
the past.

1059
00:36:42,974 --> 00:36:44,812
Brennan from Trail 4 runner, and I have

1060
00:36:44,812 --> 00:36:47,849
done hell whole halfway. U. Because we, ran

1061
00:36:47,849 --> 00:36:49,128
out of time and we had to go

1062
00:36:49,128 --> 00:36:50,806
get the mini assistant. I think it was

1063
00:36:50,806 --> 00:36:52,165
or do something with the assistant.

1064
00:36:52,739 --> 00:36:54,097
So we had to turn around, but and

1065
00:36:54,097 --> 00:36:55,536
we turned around right at the difficult spot,

1066
00:36:55,695 --> 00:36:57,852
So I drove down half of the difficult

1067
00:36:57,852 --> 00:36:59,610
spot turned around, drove back up it. Yeah.

1068
00:37:00,184 --> 00:37:02,585
But I would say that, Hell hole, I

1069
00:37:02,744 --> 00:37:04,184
I don't worry how how long would you

1070
00:37:04,184 --> 00:37:05,864
say hell hole is? I think it's 3

1071
00:37:05,864 --> 00:37:07,385
and a half miles. Yeah. It's not very

1072
00:37:07,385 --> 00:37:08,345
long. Nope Yeah.

1073
00:37:08,985 --> 00:37:09,485
It's

1074
00:37:09,959 --> 00:37:12,117
would be a very tight wine theory... Yeah.

1075
00:37:12,277 --> 00:37:13,396
I was gonna go with that. It's a

1076
00:37:13,396 --> 00:37:15,234
very tight wine trail. I don't, I was

1077
00:37:15,234 --> 00:37:17,252
gonna say, if you ran into

1078
00:37:17,871 --> 00:37:18,510
oncoming traffic,

1079
00:37:19,243 --> 00:37:21,231
there would be... It's very difficult to get

1080
00:37:21,231 --> 00:37:23,378
around very difficult to get around people. Yeah.

1081
00:37:24,014 --> 00:37:27,934
I would... It definitely is a smaller vehicle

1082
00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:28,570
friendly

1083
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:31,991
you know, mini truck, a older style Jeep.

1084
00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:34,703
Mh. You know, nothing. I would not take

1085
00:37:34,703 --> 00:37:36,630
a full size down that thing. Yeah. There's...

1086
00:37:37,265 --> 00:37:39,408
Gladiators do have difficulty getting through that trail.

1087
00:37:39,646 --> 00:37:41,709
Yeah. And just making because it's they're corners.

1088
00:37:42,106 --> 00:37:43,693
You... Yeah. It's hard to take those corners.

1089
00:37:43,931 --> 00:37:46,260
My dad's truck had a couple issues in

1090
00:37:46,260 --> 00:37:48,039
some spots, not because it's

1091
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,179
rocky and the truck wasn't capable is because

1092
00:37:50,179 --> 00:37:51,940
of the the tightness of the trail. Yeah.

1093
00:37:52,832 --> 00:37:54,899
Absolutely. And I know that the...

1094
00:37:55,693 --> 00:37:57,522
So I have only been, like, halfway down

1095
00:37:57,522 --> 00:37:59,589
the trail. The part of the problem I

1096
00:37:59,589 --> 00:38:01,179
would say with Hell, and we've talked about

1097
00:38:01,179 --> 00:38:04,621
this too. Is that it's far out. And

1098
00:38:04,621 --> 00:38:06,456
it's not like, really that far out. I

1099
00:38:06,456 --> 00:38:08,849
mean, it's probably as the crow flies from

1100
00:38:09,008 --> 00:38:11,321
Sacramento. It's probably closer than the Rub. Yeah.

1101
00:38:11,974 --> 00:38:14,201
But Yeah. There's right about so easy way

1102
00:38:14,201 --> 00:38:16,588
to get there. It's all back country roads.

1103
00:38:16,746 --> 00:38:19,547
It's all things that have, you know, nobody

1104
00:38:19,547 --> 00:38:21,781
really cares about. They're falling in and just

1105
00:38:21,781 --> 00:38:25,450
repair. Roots are making them random speed bumps

1106
00:38:25,450 --> 00:38:27,444
squirrels and pine cones all over the place.

1107
00:38:27,603 --> 00:38:30,088
Yeah. You know, hot holes everywhere,

1108
00:38:30,724 --> 00:38:33,269
and the fire did roar through that, general

1109
00:38:33,269 --> 00:38:35,893
area of couple these going to the trail.

1110
00:38:36,052 --> 00:38:38,611
Mh. So there's you know, the the roads

1111
00:38:38,770 --> 00:38:41,550
I have seen better better days. U. The

1112
00:38:41,550 --> 00:38:43,378
road gets washed out a lot because there's

1113
00:38:43,378 --> 00:38:45,602
no vegetation left to hold the the hillside

1114
00:38:45,602 --> 00:38:45,761
together.

1115
00:38:46,414 --> 00:38:48,095
And so it keeps getting wash outs,

1116
00:38:48,655 --> 00:38:50,175
taking out sections of the road. Yeah. So...

1117
00:38:50,575 --> 00:38:51,775
So it takes a while to get there,

1118
00:38:52,015 --> 00:38:54,510
and then you're on the really narrow Windy

1119
00:38:54,510 --> 00:38:55,950
trail on the way down to the lake,

1120
00:38:56,110 --> 00:38:57,710
Mh. Which I never made it to. But

1121
00:38:57,869 --> 00:38:59,309
I got to the hard section, the hard

1122
00:38:59,309 --> 00:39:01,150
section, when I was there was pretty legit.

1123
00:39:01,309 --> 00:39:01,550
Mh.

1124
00:39:02,123 --> 00:39:04,199
It would have been still fun time trying

1125
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:06,354
to get the fore runner down without hurting

1126
00:39:06,354 --> 00:39:09,307
that thing. Yeah. But... And I didn't get

1127
00:39:09,307 --> 00:39:11,472
to the Ledge, which supposedly the ledge are

1128
00:39:11,472 --> 00:39:13,062
a lot of fun as well. They're fun.

1129
00:39:13,221 --> 00:39:16,162
They're... They look worse in my opinion, the

1130
00:39:16,162 --> 00:39:17,991
the Creek section that you got to you.

1131
00:39:18,483 --> 00:39:20,948
That's harder than the Ledge are. Okay. The

1132
00:39:20,948 --> 00:39:23,095
ledge look more intimidating, but you have a

1133
00:39:23,095 --> 00:39:25,322
ton of traction. Sure. So they're not really

1134
00:39:25,322 --> 00:39:27,888
that difficult. Whereas creek area is this kinda

1135
00:39:27,888 --> 00:39:29,965
of muddy and wet all the time.

1136
00:39:30,444 --> 00:39:32,202
And traction can be really hard to come

1137
00:39:32,202 --> 00:39:34,614
by. And it's this really tight turn up

1138
00:39:34,614 --> 00:39:36,934
against a tree it's its root system, so

1139
00:39:36,934 --> 00:39:37,994
you blow out windows,

1140
00:39:39,094 --> 00:39:40,875
quarter panel windows, You

1141
00:39:41,255 --> 00:39:43,344
bend in dent quarter panels, and it's a

1142
00:39:43,344 --> 00:39:45,174
really tight turn in off camera. It throws

1143
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:46,549
you over into the tree. So

1144
00:39:46,925 --> 00:39:48,755
it's... And it's... There's no traction either. So

1145
00:39:48,755 --> 00:39:51,381
it's it's an interesting combination of stuff. Right?

1146
00:39:52,113 --> 00:39:54,107
It's 1 of those that... Once that tree

1147
00:39:54,107 --> 00:39:56,898
goes, because be it eventually will will. Yeah.

1148
00:39:57,057 --> 00:39:58,573
You get so many people driving past it.

1149
00:39:58,733 --> 00:40:00,248
Yeah. That that corners not to be very

1150
00:40:00,248 --> 00:40:03,074
difficult. No. So if you want a difficult

1151
00:40:03,451 --> 00:40:05,363
time on Hell hole. Mh. Hit it before

1152
00:40:05,363 --> 00:40:07,195
that tree goes away, which it's been there

1153
00:40:07,195 --> 00:40:08,789
a long time, but it's a big tree.

1154
00:40:09,108 --> 00:40:11,513
Every vehicle that goes through that corner, is

1155
00:40:11,513 --> 00:40:13,423
just digging that root ball out a little

1156
00:40:13,423 --> 00:40:15,254
bit more and a little bit more. Yeah.

1157
00:40:15,572 --> 00:40:17,085
It's it's a short trail. So you can

1158
00:40:17,085 --> 00:40:18,597
do it pretty quick. It's a nice day

1159
00:40:18,597 --> 00:40:21,628
trip. You're gonna spend more time driving tune

1160
00:40:21,628 --> 00:40:22,525
from the trail

1161
00:40:22,976 --> 00:40:25,118
than you will doing the trail itself. By

1162
00:40:25,277 --> 00:40:26,625
Okay. Quite a big margin.

1163
00:40:27,594 --> 00:40:30,066
So, but what's cool about Hell hole and

1164
00:40:30,066 --> 00:40:32,320
the draw to Hell hole in my opinion

1165
00:40:32,697 --> 00:40:35,409
is getting down to the reservoir and the

1166
00:40:35,409 --> 00:40:37,973
lake when it's empty. For hell whole reservoir.

1167
00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:42,293
It's... When it's full, the trail literally ends

1168
00:40:42,907 --> 00:40:44,021
in going into the water,

1169
00:40:44,754 --> 00:40:46,672
And so there's no place to camp at

1170
00:40:46,672 --> 00:40:48,270
the end of the trail. Okay. And there's

1171
00:40:48,270 --> 00:40:50,508
only 2 spots to camp on the trail,

1172
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:52,905
and both spots can only hold, like, 3

1173
00:40:52,905 --> 00:40:53,465
vehicles each.

1174
00:40:54,838 --> 00:40:57,635
Wow. So they're okay. Really limited camping spots

1175
00:40:57,635 --> 00:41:00,111
on the trail, if the reservoir full, if

1176
00:41:00,111 --> 00:41:03,402
the reservoir is empty, there's tons of camping

1177
00:41:03,402 --> 00:41:05,160
ability down in the reservoir. There's just no

1178
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:05,480
shade.

1179
00:41:06,199 --> 00:41:07,956
But what's really cool once the reservoir is

1180
00:41:07,956 --> 00:41:09,395
empty is it's a giant playground.

1181
00:41:10,048 --> 00:41:13,096
Yeah. So it could just rock says rock

1182
00:41:13,153 --> 00:41:13,653
everything

1183
00:41:14,427 --> 00:41:16,259
everywhere that you can go play on, and

1184
00:41:16,259 --> 00:41:18,981
it's really freaking cool. That's the lure to

1185
00:41:19,061 --> 00:41:21,292
Hell hole. So, like, in my opinion, don't

1186
00:41:21,292 --> 00:41:22,567
go to hell hole early in the season.

1187
00:41:22,726 --> 00:41:25,457
Right now, you could have because they're doing

1188
00:41:25,515 --> 00:41:28,119
repairs on the dam at Hell reservoir. So

1189
00:41:28,797 --> 00:41:30,548
so the reservoir is empty, they're keeping an

1190
00:41:30,548 --> 00:41:32,061
empty until they get those repairs done. So

1191
00:41:32,061 --> 00:41:33,256
maybe 1 or 2 more years.

1192
00:41:33,973 --> 00:41:35,724
But after that, early in the season, the

1193
00:41:35,724 --> 00:41:38,126
reservoir will be full. And it's not... No.

1194
00:41:38,364 --> 00:41:39,795
It's not fine in my opinion.

1195
00:41:40,908 --> 00:41:41,408
So

1196
00:41:42,021 --> 00:41:44,326
to the take that How you wanna take

1197
00:41:44,326 --> 00:41:45,359
it? Cool. Alright.

1198
00:41:46,248 --> 00:41:47,679
I strike that 1. I moved it down

1199
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,063
there. Oh, because I think these... These these

1200
00:41:50,063 --> 00:41:52,287
are all really more... They're all closer to

1201
00:41:52,287 --> 00:41:54,611
each other. Right? True. So we'll get to

1202
00:41:54,611 --> 00:41:56,525
that. So I guess the next 1 down

1203
00:41:56,525 --> 00:41:59,795
the list now. Is Bear Valley, 0HV? Yeah.

1204
00:42:00,114 --> 00:42:01,391
Have... When was the last time you were

1205
00:42:01,391 --> 00:42:02,927
there? It's been

1206
00:42:03,797 --> 00:42:04,511
Think 2 years.

1207
00:42:05,385 --> 00:42:07,369
Okay. I... You might have have... You might

1208
00:42:07,369 --> 00:42:09,195
have me beat. I don't remember when it

1209
00:42:09,195 --> 00:42:11,203
was, but I went on the ladies run

1210
00:42:11,355 --> 00:42:13,675
with the Mad Hat. Yep. The assistant... I've

1211
00:42:13,675 --> 00:42:15,275
been there since let that lady's in. Okay.

1212
00:42:15,434 --> 00:42:17,835
Yeah Yeah. The assistant drove all day long.

1213
00:42:18,075 --> 00:42:21,065
U. And then, it was misty,

1214
00:42:21,842 --> 00:42:23,518
and then we got back to the camp

1215
00:42:23,518 --> 00:42:25,194
and it we set up camp and everything

1216
00:42:25,194 --> 00:42:27,131
because we took Bob cat, and we had

1217
00:42:27,682 --> 00:42:29,193
rooftop 10 on Bob. So we got back

1218
00:42:29,193 --> 00:42:31,340
to camp. We set up camp. We went

1219
00:42:31,340 --> 00:42:33,089
and hung out by the fire the and

1220
00:42:33,089 --> 00:42:36,032
it was, like, wasn't quite rent dr, but

1221
00:42:36,032 --> 00:42:37,088
it wasn't quite

1222
00:42:37,557 --> 00:42:39,407
like, mist. It was like, that heavy

1223
00:42:40,018 --> 00:42:42,320
mist, you know? Mh. Mh. And I ever

1224
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,305
forgot the rain fly. Oh, that was that

1225
00:42:44,305 --> 00:42:46,210
trip. Yeah. That's right. And so it like,

1226
00:42:46,464 --> 00:42:49,181
was raining inside the tent. Yep. U. It

1227
00:42:49,181 --> 00:42:50,699
was the first time that we noticed that

1228
00:42:50,699 --> 00:42:53,277
there was a... I know, the waterproofing is

1229
00:42:53,336 --> 00:42:55,508
disappearing on that time. Yeah. U. Remember for

1230
00:42:55,508 --> 00:42:57,840
that now. Yeah. So, their value

1231
00:42:58,217 --> 00:42:59,672
v is up Highway

1232
00:43:00,129 --> 00:43:03,735
89 9. And it's pretty much the opposite

1233
00:43:03,953 --> 00:43:04,453
turn

1234
00:43:04,923 --> 00:43:05,798
from Meadow Lake.

1235
00:43:06,435 --> 00:43:08,821
Yeah. Yeah. R right. Yeah. Right. That same

1236
00:43:08,821 --> 00:43:09,776
intersection. You would turn,

1237
00:43:10,810 --> 00:43:13,380
if you're going up, Highway 89. From Trucking

1238
00:43:13,380 --> 00:43:14,920
from Truck to Sierra.

1239
00:43:15,699 --> 00:43:18,340
You would turn left to go Meadow lake,

1240
00:43:18,820 --> 00:43:19,860
or you turn right.

1241
00:43:20,514 --> 00:43:22,505
To go to Bear Valley Oh fee.

1242
00:43:23,222 --> 00:43:24,258
Is it right there?

1243
00:43:25,293 --> 00:43:26,887
It is. No. Yeah. I think it is.

1244
00:43:27,205 --> 00:43:30,016
It's it was... It's just further than where

1245
00:43:30,016 --> 00:43:32,014
we did your bachelor part. So I was

1246
00:43:32,173 --> 00:43:33,052
I was trying to think I was like,

1247
00:43:33,292 --> 00:43:35,130
usually, when I go up there, though,

1248
00:43:35,945 --> 00:43:38,505
I'm I'm driving for a little ways from

1249
00:43:38,505 --> 00:43:40,184
the camping area. I realized I can't put

1250
00:43:40,184 --> 00:43:41,085
the little niagara

1251
00:43:41,545 --> 00:43:44,344
campsite sites. Or little truck, little tricky campsite.

1252
00:43:44,918 --> 00:43:46,665
And so, yeah. Then you go further up

1253
00:43:46,665 --> 00:43:48,969
and it's right across that same intersection. Yeah.

1254
00:43:49,048 --> 00:43:51,192
As met electronic pretty sure. Yeah. So you

1255
00:43:51,192 --> 00:43:52,702
turn right, you go back that way a

1256
00:43:52,702 --> 00:43:54,052
little ways. And then I think you're pretty

1257
00:43:54,052 --> 00:43:56,221
much in it. I don't... There's no like,

1258
00:43:56,619 --> 00:43:58,934
gate. There's my knowledge. There's no gate. You're

1259
00:43:58,934 --> 00:44:00,850
pretty much go down. There's a, a couple

1260
00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:03,245
of camping dispersed camping areas, and you'll will

1261
00:44:03,245 --> 00:44:05,247
eventually actually end up at a big 4

1262
00:44:05,247 --> 00:44:06,463
way intersection

1263
00:44:06,836 --> 00:44:10,435
where there's an Oh campground. And Oh campground

1264
00:44:10,491 --> 00:44:12,103
just looks like a giant

1265
00:44:12,652 --> 00:44:15,281
field park trailers. Kinda. Got it. Yeah. And

1266
00:44:15,281 --> 00:44:16,874
you take a right right there, and that's

1267
00:44:16,874 --> 00:44:19,183
the start of the official start of the,

1268
00:44:19,581 --> 00:44:22,386
Bay valley Oh xv. Okay. The cool thing

1269
00:44:22,386 --> 00:44:24,699
about Bear value H is you get to

1270
00:44:24,699 --> 00:44:25,337
drive through Truck.

1271
00:44:26,135 --> 00:44:28,527
So there's there's some great food, grape breweries,

1272
00:44:28,687 --> 00:44:30,760
some good beer options in trucking. Chuck is

1273
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,762
just an awesome little town to stop and

1274
00:44:32,762 --> 00:44:33,817
visit for

1275
00:44:34,190 --> 00:44:35,697
half an hour and hours you're driving through.

1276
00:44:36,015 --> 00:44:38,634
Absolutely. Yeah. But the nice thing about the

1277
00:44:38,634 --> 00:44:39,530
trail itself

1278
00:44:39,998 --> 00:44:41,664
is that it's 2 loops.

1279
00:44:42,458 --> 00:44:45,076
Yeah. It's a system of 2 loops, and

1280
00:44:45,076 --> 00:44:46,210
so you can do

1281
00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:49,058
1 loop 1 day. The other loop the

1282
00:44:49,058 --> 00:44:51,306
other day, or you can do

1283
00:44:51,838 --> 00:44:54,799
Yeah. 1 loop been both and 1 both

1284
00:44:54,934 --> 00:44:56,602
1 and then now do the other loop.

1285
00:44:56,761 --> 00:44:59,088
Yeah. There's a lot options on how to

1286
00:44:59,088 --> 00:45:00,206
run that trail.

1287
00:45:00,685 --> 00:45:02,842
And in between the 2 loops, there's a

1288
00:45:02,842 --> 00:45:04,520
a kind of a bailout out access point.

1289
00:45:05,252 --> 00:45:05,490
So,

1290
00:45:06,443 --> 00:45:07,951
lots of different ways to run that trail.

1291
00:45:08,507 --> 00:45:09,483
There's obstacles

1292
00:45:10,492 --> 00:45:12,420
on the trail, and they're called

1293
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:15,530
Chill. They're tenant they're labeled like 4 dice,

1294
00:45:15,849 --> 00:45:18,650
Chill 1, 2 Windshield 3. Remember that. But

1295
00:45:18,650 --> 00:45:21,223
every Chill does have a bypass. Yeah. So,

1296
00:45:21,542 --> 00:45:22,978
if you don't wanna do the chills, they're

1297
00:45:22,978 --> 00:45:25,609
not difficult chills like 4 dice. No. No.

1298
00:45:25,768 --> 00:45:28,661
They're definitely a light year's lower in difficulty

1299
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,283
than the chills on Ford ice. But they're

1300
00:45:31,283 --> 00:45:33,349
they're good enough hills that you gotta pay

1301
00:45:33,349 --> 00:45:34,858
attention when you're going up, even in a

1302
00:45:34,858 --> 00:45:36,368
rig like Bob cat or my 4 runner,

1303
00:45:36,686 --> 00:45:38,275
you still gotta pay attention to tire placement,

1304
00:45:38,434 --> 00:45:38,751
everything.

1305
00:45:39,402 --> 00:45:41,546
But they're very they're for the most part,

1306
00:45:41,784 --> 00:45:42,682
low risk

1307
00:45:43,135 --> 00:45:46,073
obstacles. There's 1 obstacle that has a really

1308
00:45:46,073 --> 00:45:46,573
tight

1309
00:45:47,344 --> 00:45:48,320
steep turn

1310
00:45:48,869 --> 00:45:51,581
90 degree turn, pretty much, at the very

1311
00:45:51,581 --> 00:45:52,458
top of this climb,

1312
00:45:53,096 --> 00:45:55,648
that 1, I've seen people come very close

1313
00:45:55,648 --> 00:45:57,164
to rolling. And if you roll down that,

1314
00:45:57,324 --> 00:45:59,884
you're rolling for a ways. Oh, okay. So

1315
00:45:59,884 --> 00:46:01,574
that 1 would be the really the only

1316
00:46:02,423 --> 00:46:04,327
high risk medium risk obstacle.

1317
00:46:04,724 --> 00:46:06,073
The rest of them are pretty low risk.

1318
00:46:06,231 --> 00:46:07,997
You just Do you got the balls to

1319
00:46:07,997 --> 00:46:10,230
go up it? Yeah. Yeah. I know when

1320
00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:12,006
we did it years ago

1321
00:46:12,543 --> 00:46:15,175
that maybe it was before Covid when we

1322
00:46:15,175 --> 00:46:16,691
did it? I don't remember when I was.

1323
00:46:17,425 --> 00:46:19,984
Anyways, the assistant drove the entire day, she

1324
00:46:19,984 --> 00:46:22,464
did fantastic, and we got to 1 of

1325
00:46:22,464 --> 00:46:24,464
the chills, and I think once somebody on

1326
00:46:24,464 --> 00:46:25,824
the radio came across and it was, like,

1327
00:46:25,999 --> 00:46:27,351
This is the hardest part of the trail.

1328
00:46:27,669 --> 00:46:29,101
Yeah. So if you wanna go up that,

1329
00:46:29,419 --> 00:46:31,408
then you go driver, if you wanna do

1330
00:46:31,408 --> 00:46:32,862
the bypass, you go

1331
00:46:33,175 --> 00:46:35,015
passenger. You know? And I was like, which

1332
00:46:35,015 --> 00:46:36,054
way do you wanna go? And she's like,

1333
00:46:36,295 --> 00:46:38,695
I wanna go that way. Driver. Okay. Let's

1334
00:46:38,695 --> 00:46:38,855
go.

1335
00:46:39,574 --> 00:46:41,667
I hopped out and, like, driver her passenger

1336
00:46:41,667 --> 00:46:43,263
driver passenger got her up the trail. No

1337
00:46:43,263 --> 00:46:45,099
problem. I think at 1 point she hit

1338
00:46:45,099 --> 00:46:46,296
a diff and we had a back just

1339
00:46:46,296 --> 00:46:47,675
a little bit. But it wasn't

1340
00:46:48,132 --> 00:46:49,032
wasn't hard

1341
00:46:49,983 --> 00:46:52,694
with a spotter at all. Yeah. So I

1342
00:46:52,694 --> 00:46:53,991
would say if you're doing

1343
00:46:54,528 --> 00:46:55,325
the hard lines,

1344
00:46:56,043 --> 00:46:58,196
30 fives with a rear locker. Yeah.

1345
00:46:58,769 --> 00:47:00,125
Yeah. That's all you really need. And if

1346
00:47:00,125 --> 00:47:01,720
you're doing an e the easy lines,

1347
00:47:02,916 --> 00:47:05,788
stock. Yeah. Mh. Stock v. Stock. 4 by

1348
00:47:05,788 --> 00:47:06,984
4. You don't even really need a lift

1349
00:47:06,984 --> 00:47:08,994
on it. You don't even need bumper. Yeah.

1350
00:47:09,234 --> 00:47:12,271
There's 1 little rock garden that I don't

1351
00:47:12,271 --> 00:47:13,310
think has a bypass.

1352
00:47:13,949 --> 00:47:15,628
Okay. And so that 1, you just... If

1353
00:47:15,628 --> 00:47:17,306
you don't have a lift, you're gonna you're

1354
00:47:17,306 --> 00:47:19,398
gonna hit your rocker panels. So have some

1355
00:47:19,398 --> 00:47:21,952
sliders. Sliders. Mh. But if you got sliders,

1356
00:47:22,750 --> 00:47:24,107
a stock 4 by 4 can make it

1357
00:47:24,107 --> 00:47:25,943
through that. Just fine. Yeah. And there's some

1358
00:47:25,943 --> 00:47:28,291
really cool views on the up per loop

1359
00:47:28,822 --> 00:47:31,199
has some really nice lookout cool views. The

1360
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:33,126
lower loop is more of the obstacles

1361
00:47:33,815 --> 00:47:36,456
kind of thing. Okay. So Yeah. The only

1362
00:47:36,456 --> 00:47:38,212
thing I would say about that trails is

1363
00:47:38,212 --> 00:47:41,245
that the trail is very narrow. Yes. And

1364
00:47:41,245 --> 00:47:43,741
there is lots of mans anita around

1365
00:47:44,213 --> 00:47:47,554
So you will get scratches. Yep. There's there's

1366
00:47:47,554 --> 00:47:48,054
no,

1367
00:47:49,145 --> 00:47:52,500
pins strip. Yeah. Absolutely. Sierra and strip first.

1368
00:47:52,659 --> 00:47:54,328
Sure. Yep. So if you don't wanna scratch

1369
00:47:54,328 --> 00:47:55,599
your vehicle, you don't wanna scratch the paint,

1370
00:47:55,759 --> 00:47:57,587
you're worried about it, then this is not

1371
00:47:57,587 --> 00:47:59,985
the trail for you. Mh. If you don't

1372
00:47:59,985 --> 00:48:01,972
care that much, and you're okay with a

1373
00:48:01,972 --> 00:48:04,117
little scrape piece scrape here and there, then

1374
00:48:04,117 --> 00:48:05,649
it's still a very fun

1375
00:48:06,277 --> 00:48:08,581
beginner trail to hit. Yeah. We're sorry. If

1376
00:48:08,581 --> 00:48:10,807
you're if you're thinking and wanna learn more

1377
00:48:10,807 --> 00:48:12,715
about off road, this is a great 1

1378
00:48:12,715 --> 00:48:14,479
to go in attempt. This is... This is

1379
00:48:14,479 --> 00:48:16,309
actually when I was getting into it and

1380
00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:17,842
trying to get more people

1381
00:48:18,217 --> 00:48:19,490
into operating, so I could have more people

1382
00:48:19,490 --> 00:48:21,420
to go wheel with. It was 1 of

1383
00:48:21,420 --> 00:48:23,820
the trails I took Newbies too. Yeah. Because

1384
00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:25,820
it is... It's a great learning trail. There's

1385
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:26,880
there's a lot of

1386
00:48:27,340 --> 00:48:27,840
difficulty

1387
00:48:28,460 --> 00:48:30,632
variation Mh throughout both of them, and there's

1388
00:48:30,632 --> 00:48:31,672
lots of different ways to do the trial.

1389
00:48:31,831 --> 00:48:32,790
So you can go back to the trial

1390
00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:34,229
3 or 4 times and do it a

1391
00:48:34,229 --> 00:48:36,227
different wage each time. Sure. That makes... Yeah.

1392
00:48:36,387 --> 00:48:37,665
That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. It's

1393
00:48:37,665 --> 00:48:38,225
fun. Yeah.

1394
00:48:38,958 --> 00:48:40,471
So that one's fun. That one's up outside

1395
00:48:40,471 --> 00:48:42,543
a truck, in the truck area. Yeah. In

1396
00:48:42,622 --> 00:48:43,419
Northern California,

1397
00:48:43,897 --> 00:48:45,649
Both... So Hell Hole and bear Valley. We

1398
00:48:45,649 --> 00:48:47,083
didn't really say best times a year to

1399
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:49,574
go. Mh. Bear valleys right up there with

1400
00:48:49,655 --> 00:48:52,135
Meadow Lake and in high parts of the

1401
00:48:52,295 --> 00:48:54,055
Sierra, so that's snow dependent.

1402
00:48:54,614 --> 00:48:57,025
So once the the snow is down, then

1403
00:48:57,424 --> 00:48:58,300
I would say you can go.

1404
00:48:59,017 --> 00:49:00,930
I would check the Fee park just to

1405
00:49:00,930 --> 00:49:02,682
make sure that it's clear and open. Yep.

1406
00:49:03,001 --> 00:49:04,595
If you tell... You have a trailer and

1407
00:49:04,595 --> 00:49:06,679
you do show logistics. There's trailer parking up

1408
00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:08,504
there? Yep. If you wanna go up there

1409
00:49:08,504 --> 00:49:09,060
and camp,

1410
00:49:09,853 --> 00:49:11,544
there's awesome campground grounds

1411
00:49:12,235 --> 00:49:14,798
just south Down Highway 89 called

1412
00:49:15,108 --> 00:49:17,255
little truck campground grounds, and there's an upper

1413
00:49:17,255 --> 00:49:19,721
and a lower. Yeah. And, both 1 the

1414
00:49:19,721 --> 00:49:20,937
upper 1 has

1415
00:49:22,027 --> 00:49:23,952
group campsite site, I believe, Where's the lower.

1416
00:49:24,110 --> 00:49:25,860
I don't remember which 1. There's a group

1417
00:49:25,860 --> 00:49:27,292
campsite at 1 of them, but they're within

1418
00:49:27,292 --> 00:49:29,996
a mile of each other, and they're right

1419
00:49:29,996 --> 00:49:33,613
on the truck River. Yeah So some gorgeous

1420
00:49:33,670 --> 00:49:35,897
camping right on a river creek side. It

1421
00:49:35,897 --> 00:49:38,283
is also right on highway 89.

1422
00:49:38,681 --> 00:49:40,351
So you do get car noise at night.

1423
00:49:41,002 --> 00:49:42,591
But you get the nice little swimming hole

1424
00:49:42,591 --> 00:49:43,623
during the day. If you're in the yeah.

1425
00:49:43,862 --> 00:49:45,609
In summer. So And the river really drown

1426
00:49:45,609 --> 00:49:47,675
out a lot of it. Yeah. Unless it's

1427
00:49:47,675 --> 00:49:48,787
like a harley or

1428
00:49:49,359 --> 00:49:50,955
Bro or or something then that you hear.

1429
00:49:51,115 --> 00:49:52,791
But if it's just a car, you know,

1430
00:49:52,951 --> 00:49:54,068
you got the river roaring next to you.

1431
00:49:54,227 --> 00:49:56,223
It's not that loud. Yep. Hell hole, I'm

1432
00:49:56,223 --> 00:49:57,101
pretty sure it has gate.

1433
00:49:57,753 --> 00:49:59,974
And they have a close and open season

1434
00:49:59,974 --> 00:50:01,322
as well. Mh. So,

1435
00:50:02,036 --> 00:50:03,782
you can probably just Google it. I forgot

1436
00:50:03,782 --> 00:50:06,737
who runs the Jeep Auburn Jeep Club. No.

1437
00:50:07,373 --> 00:50:08,588
It's the Sacramento

1438
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:10,020
goat

1439
00:50:10,793 --> 00:50:12,994
mountain Goats, Sec Sexy city, Mountain Goat, sec

1440
00:50:13,114 --> 00:50:15,110
Yeah. So Go to the People that did

1441
00:50:15,110 --> 00:50:17,265
goat smoke at Citrix. Right. Back 2 years

1442
00:50:17,265 --> 00:50:19,900
ago. Yeah. Yeah. So, you can probably check

1443
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:21,735
out their website or talk to them. I

1444
00:50:21,735 --> 00:50:22,110
think

1445
00:50:22,547 --> 00:50:25,511
it's also another fairly high elevation

1446
00:50:25,965 --> 00:50:28,588
trail that does get snow, but it's not

1447
00:50:28,588 --> 00:50:30,257
high enough that the snow lingers for a

1448
00:50:30,257 --> 00:50:32,264
really long time. If you're going early in

1449
00:50:32,264 --> 00:50:33,625
the season to Hell, I will say this,

1450
00:50:33,784 --> 00:50:35,144
take a chainsaw all with you. 100 percent.

1451
00:50:35,385 --> 00:50:37,784
Yeah. So cool. You have a high chance

1452
00:50:37,784 --> 00:50:39,144
we'll get locked in by a tree coming

1453
00:50:39,144 --> 00:50:42,118
down. So... Yes. Absolutely. Alright. What, next 1

1454
00:50:42,118 --> 00:50:43,796
down is Sour grass, which is a trail

1455
00:50:43,796 --> 00:50:47,231
that I've never done. Oh interesting. Yeah. I've

1456
00:50:47,231 --> 00:50:48,644
done it a few times. It's

1457
00:50:49,161 --> 00:50:50,992
nothing to write home about. It's another 1

1458
00:50:50,992 --> 00:50:53,538
kinda like Bear Valley. A great, great beacon

1459
00:50:53,538 --> 00:50:55,686
beginner trail. Okay? It's not difficult.

1460
00:50:56,417 --> 00:50:58,167
Has a fun little river crossing? Yeah. That's

1461
00:50:58,167 --> 00:50:59,599
what I was gonna say that River crossing

1462
00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:00,554
looks a little difficult?

1463
00:51:01,032 --> 00:51:03,601
It's gotten very difficult in the past

1464
00:51:03,976 --> 00:51:06,460
year 2 years. Okay. There's tons of people

1465
00:51:06,460 --> 00:51:08,055
going on Style grass, and it's a really

1466
00:51:08,055 --> 00:51:10,526
short trail. It's might be as long as

1467
00:51:10,526 --> 00:51:13,157
hell whole. Wow, shorter, but it's easier than

1468
00:51:13,237 --> 00:51:13,556
Hell hole.

1469
00:51:14,288 --> 00:51:15,801
So because of that, you get a lot

1470
00:51:15,801 --> 00:51:17,394
of newbies in there that are open open,

1471
00:51:17,633 --> 00:51:19,066
and they go and do the the river

1472
00:51:19,066 --> 00:51:20,977
crossing and can't get up out of the

1473
00:51:20,977 --> 00:51:23,699
river and just dig holes. Yeah. So the

1474
00:51:23,699 --> 00:51:26,007
the holes on either side of the river

1475
00:51:26,007 --> 00:51:28,634
crossing are getting really big right now, and

1476
00:51:28,634 --> 00:51:30,407
people are just tearing it up. So

1477
00:51:30,718 --> 00:51:33,024
The trail itself is not that difficult, but

1478
00:51:33,024 --> 00:51:35,489
the water crossing is very difficult right now.

1479
00:51:35,807 --> 00:51:38,193
Please either have lockers front and rear and

1480
00:51:38,193 --> 00:51:40,204
use them as you're going across the river

1481
00:51:40,260 --> 00:51:42,675
or or win if you're open open, don't

1482
00:51:42,675 --> 00:51:44,355
sit there and intake. Yeah. On that river

1483
00:51:44,355 --> 00:51:46,594
bed place. So... So what's at the... What's

1484
00:51:46,594 --> 00:51:48,675
past that? All I ever see of pictures

1485
00:51:48,675 --> 00:51:51,489
of sour grass or videos this as people

1486
00:51:51,489 --> 00:51:53,569
going through that tiny river crossing that's on

1487
00:51:53,569 --> 00:51:55,889
this... That downhill side. Pretty much it. Is

1488
00:51:55,889 --> 00:51:58,222
there camping back there? There's camp big camping

1489
00:51:58,222 --> 00:52:00,532
area. Okay and in, it's kinda neat little

1490
00:52:00,532 --> 00:52:02,604
tree grove. Mh. And then you can go

1491
00:52:02,604 --> 00:52:04,516
a little bit further. So right on the

1492
00:52:04,516 --> 00:52:06,122
other side of the river it kinda loops

1493
00:52:06,122 --> 00:52:07,634
around as a big loop, it comes back

1494
00:52:07,634 --> 00:52:08,111
to the river.

1495
00:52:08,827 --> 00:52:10,418
There is a section if you don't go

1496
00:52:10,418 --> 00:52:11,850
over the river and you continue down the

1497
00:52:11,850 --> 00:52:13,702
trail itself. I believe you can go

1498
00:52:14,333 --> 00:52:16,566
pretty far back another half a mile.

1499
00:52:17,284 --> 00:52:19,438
Okay far. And end up in this really

1500
00:52:19,438 --> 00:52:21,511
cool tree grove area that does have quite

1501
00:52:21,511 --> 00:52:23,719
a bit of camping. It's all open, dispersed

1502
00:52:23,839 --> 00:52:24,077
camping.

1503
00:52:24,713 --> 00:52:26,940
So whoever your neighbors are, you're gonna be

1504
00:52:26,940 --> 00:52:29,086
with them. But it's a it's a pretty

1505
00:52:29,086 --> 00:52:31,551
cool little tree grove. I don't think I

1506
00:52:31,551 --> 00:52:33,635
would camp there, choose to camp there.

1507
00:52:34,431 --> 00:52:36,103
I would like to... I like going there

1508
00:52:36,103 --> 00:52:36,819
and just having lunch.

1509
00:52:37,615 --> 00:52:39,286
Got it. Or go up there what I

1510
00:52:39,286 --> 00:52:40,560
really like to do is go up there

1511
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:41,197
for a day trip.

1512
00:52:41,848 --> 00:52:43,987
To slick rock, and then come back out.

1513
00:52:44,304 --> 00:52:46,048
Maybe go run sour grass and then go

1514
00:52:46,048 --> 00:52:48,847
to room for lunch. The what? The room

1515
00:52:49,313 --> 00:52:52,567
a lube room, Jimmy, that sounds like you

1516
00:52:52,567 --> 00:52:54,075
have to be 18 and older to join.

1517
00:52:54,313 --> 00:52:56,456
You probably should. That place can get interesting.

1518
00:52:56,789 --> 00:52:59,891
No. It's a it's the. It's a a

1519
00:52:59,891 --> 00:53:01,107
bar restaurant

1520
00:53:01,641 --> 00:53:02,596
up there. Yeah.

1521
00:53:03,311 --> 00:53:05,155
It's I'm trying to think of what the

1522
00:53:05,313 --> 00:53:07,459
German place that the Matt Hat stay at?

1523
00:53:07,936 --> 00:53:10,399
No. Oh, okay. No. I don't know where

1524
00:53:10,399 --> 00:53:13,521
that is. The room is that's a it's

1525
00:53:13,521 --> 00:53:16,233
a American bar food. So burgers,

1526
00:53:16,711 --> 00:53:18,943
steak, stuff like that, but it is some

1527
00:53:18,943 --> 00:53:22,070
of the best burgers, you will ever find

1528
00:53:22,070 --> 00:53:25,182
on Highway 4. Okay? So the lube and

1529
00:53:25,182 --> 00:53:28,056
it's an down them, they just lube their

1530
00:53:28,056 --> 00:53:31,182
way out. Yeah. They are, yep. Nice and

1531
00:53:31,182 --> 00:53:31,501
greasy.

1532
00:53:32,379 --> 00:53:35,091
Some good stuff. They started redoing the outdoor

1533
00:53:35,091 --> 00:53:35,411
area.

1534
00:53:35,982 --> 00:53:37,727
Past couple years. So they have a really

1535
00:53:37,727 --> 00:53:39,234
nice deck in the back of the building

1536
00:53:39,234 --> 00:53:41,693
now. Big deck? It's a big deck. Yep.

1537
00:53:42,804 --> 00:53:44,728
It's covered. They've got heating during the winter.

1538
00:53:44,889 --> 00:53:46,806
They've got fans and stuff out there during

1539
00:53:46,806 --> 00:53:47,366
the summer.

1540
00:53:48,165 --> 00:53:50,003
And then I believe they're building a stage

1541
00:53:50,003 --> 00:53:52,161
to do live music. I haven't been there

1542
00:53:52,161 --> 00:53:52,640
since Yeah.

1543
00:53:53,294 --> 00:53:54,967
They had... I think were just starting it.

1544
00:53:55,046 --> 00:53:56,321
So I don't know if they've finished it

1545
00:53:56,321 --> 00:53:59,188
at all, but lube room, the lube room

1546
00:53:59,188 --> 00:54:01,658
is about 10 minutes from the board's crossing

1547
00:54:01,658 --> 00:54:02,056
turn off.

1548
00:54:03,025 --> 00:54:04,374
Highway 4 that used to get up to

1549
00:54:04,453 --> 00:54:07,547
Sour grass, from boards crossing. It's 05:10 minutes

1550
00:54:07,547 --> 00:54:09,784
is the blue room. Okay. So look that

1551
00:54:09,784 --> 00:54:11,942
up if you're looking for some amazing burgers

1552
00:54:11,942 --> 00:54:13,859
on highway 4. They're right there by Sa?

1553
00:54:14,179 --> 00:54:16,177
Never heard of it. Oh, god. You gotta

1554
00:54:16,177 --> 00:54:18,665
go there. It's amazing. All go. Lube myself

1555
00:54:18,665 --> 00:54:20,893
up at the loop broom. Yep.

1556
00:54:21,609 --> 00:54:23,201
Cool. Alright. Well, I guess the rest of

1557
00:54:23,201 --> 00:54:25,110
this list I actually have not been to.

1558
00:54:25,524 --> 00:54:27,358
I've never been to Pure so H with

1559
00:54:27,358 --> 00:54:29,193
next in our list. Mh. I know exactly

1560
00:54:29,193 --> 00:54:31,586
where it is. Yeah. But I've I've never

1561
00:54:31,586 --> 00:54:34,218
stayed away. That's the only... I've always heard

1562
00:54:34,218 --> 00:54:36,623
that it's a fantastic camping area. So in

1563
00:54:36,623 --> 00:54:38,931
my opinion, Pure H, the the draw to

1564
00:54:38,931 --> 00:54:40,840
it is the camping. Right? There's not there's

1565
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,489
not any difficult obstacles. It's not an obstacle

1566
00:54:43,546 --> 00:54:45,875
trail to go to. You're going there to

1567
00:54:45,875 --> 00:54:48,275
camp. Yeah. And the the cool thing about

1568
00:54:48,355 --> 00:54:48,855
Pure

1569
00:54:49,954 --> 00:54:50,775
is that

1570
00:54:51,474 --> 00:54:53,727
it's... The the main camp, it's a big

1571
00:54:53,727 --> 00:54:55,630
camping area. Right? With a lot of different

1572
00:54:56,343 --> 00:54:59,276
variation to camp sites. Okay? The cool campsite

1573
00:54:59,276 --> 00:55:01,753
sites, the awesome ones are right down on

1574
00:55:01,753 --> 00:55:02,971
a ginormous

1575
00:55:04,784 --> 00:55:08,293
gravel bed on a creek bed. Okay. So

1576
00:55:08,293 --> 00:55:10,606
it's a it's where the river used to

1577
00:55:10,606 --> 00:55:11,106
be

1578
00:55:11,419 --> 00:55:12,855
wider, more flowing,

1579
00:55:13,574 --> 00:55:16,766
whatever it is and created this massive gravel

1580
00:55:16,766 --> 00:55:19,001
bed there. And now it's a lot smaller.

1581
00:55:19,734 --> 00:55:21,728
And so there's just tons of gravel everywhere

1582
00:55:21,728 --> 00:55:23,642
and the river kinda of splits and snakes

1583
00:55:23,642 --> 00:55:25,796
around through the gravel area. So there's a

1584
00:55:25,796 --> 00:55:27,652
couple little spots to cross the river

1585
00:55:28,268 --> 00:55:30,599
throughout the gravel area, but It's a big

1586
00:55:30,599 --> 00:55:33,640
open kinda camping area. There are designated campfire

1587
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,360
fire rings. Yes. So it's safe to have

1588
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,531
campfire fires in if they're not banned in

1589
00:55:38,690 --> 00:55:40,444
Tahoe National Forest so check that before you

1590
00:55:40,444 --> 00:55:43,076
go. But it's a the camping on that

1591
00:55:43,076 --> 00:55:44,931
gravel bar. That's what you go to pure

1592
00:55:45,069 --> 00:55:47,880
before. Okay. Yeah. Cool. And then, if you

1593
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,480
wanna go run 4 ice and go play

1594
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,480
around on drive line Hill or go up

1595
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,319
to Eagle Lakes and go down and check

1596
00:55:53,319 --> 00:55:54,760
and do some fishing Eagle Lakes the other

1597
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,371
high sierra lakes around that area. It's a

1598
00:55:56,371 --> 00:55:58,591
great kind of base camp area for Ford

1599
00:55:58,591 --> 00:56:00,256
ice as well. Yes.

1600
00:56:00,970 --> 00:56:03,032
That's that's fine. And I know that they're,

1601
00:56:03,111 --> 00:56:05,278
like, hand you know, fist next to each

1602
00:56:05,278 --> 00:56:07,356
other Super close. Literally, the the...

1603
00:56:08,235 --> 00:56:10,313
1 of the trails... There's 2 trails into

1604
00:56:10,472 --> 00:56:13,085
Pure. 1 of them comes off of the

1605
00:56:13,284 --> 00:56:15,278
access road to Ford ice, and the other

1606
00:56:15,278 --> 00:56:16,953
1 comes off of Ford ice itself. Right.

1607
00:56:17,351 --> 00:56:18,867
You could literally literally really swing a cat

1608
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:21,021
and hit it. Yeah. Throw a cat across

1609
00:56:21,021 --> 00:56:22,855
the room and hit the pure B. Yeah.

1610
00:56:23,268 --> 00:56:25,413
So pure Be really cool for camping,

1611
00:56:25,969 --> 00:56:29,089
not difficult trail wise anything, not no obstacles,

1612
00:56:29,701 --> 00:56:31,528
Just really cool camp area. You don't wanna

1613
00:56:31,528 --> 00:56:32,974
camp in the middle of the Creek on

1614
00:56:32,974 --> 00:56:35,375
that gravel bed. There are other places throughout

1615
00:56:35,375 --> 00:56:36,275
the trail system

1616
00:56:36,815 --> 00:56:38,735
to a camp. Right. So... And it's a

1617
00:56:38,735 --> 00:56:39,875
great fantastic

1618
00:56:40,427 --> 00:56:42,728
spot to set up and have, like, a

1619
00:56:42,728 --> 00:56:43,862
base camp for

1620
00:56:44,393 --> 00:56:46,694
Forward ice. Yes. Yep. Ford dice or even,

1621
00:56:46,774 --> 00:56:47,885
you know, if you wanna go up a

1622
00:56:47,885 --> 00:56:49,811
single peak. Yep. Just kinda have to go

1623
00:56:49,811 --> 00:56:50,311
around

1624
00:56:50,848 --> 00:56:52,283
into Ford ice and then come out 4

1625
00:56:52,283 --> 00:56:53,958
ice and then go up signal peak. Yeah.

1626
00:56:54,197 --> 00:56:58,186
But totally nice basically to pierce from Bowman.

1627
00:56:58,759 --> 00:57:00,674
I don't know. It's a good question. I've

1628
00:57:00,674 --> 00:57:03,228
never tried or looked at that. Ben could

1629
00:57:03,228 --> 00:57:05,862
probably tell us. Ben over. Yep. Call in

1630
00:57:05,862 --> 00:57:07,630
or just tell me. 1 or the other.

1631
00:57:07,789 --> 00:57:09,460
If you can get go that out. Yep.

1632
00:57:09,699 --> 00:57:11,233
I wanna... I've never gone

1633
00:57:11,608 --> 00:57:13,699
farther down that road

1634
00:57:14,074 --> 00:57:15,347
than the turn off to Paradise.

1635
00:57:15,839 --> 00:57:17,673
Okay. So like... Yeah, like, I know it's

1636
00:57:17,673 --> 00:57:19,987
down there. Mh. I just... Oh, I'm going

1637
00:57:19,987 --> 00:57:22,699
on, Eagle Lakes Road. And and here's the

1638
00:57:22,778 --> 00:57:24,932
Ford ice turn off. Yep. That's that's as

1639
00:57:24,932 --> 00:57:27,100
far as I've been. Yeah. So the eagle

1640
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:28,935
lakes even down there. I don't... I've never

1641
00:57:28,935 --> 00:57:30,291
even bend the Eagle lakes. I don't know.

1642
00:57:30,849 --> 00:57:33,981
Eagle Eagle Lakes is is it just after

1643
00:57:34,598 --> 00:57:35,098
drive?

1644
00:57:35,809 --> 00:57:37,807
Or before drive line. The turn off for

1645
00:57:37,807 --> 00:57:39,963
4 lakes 4 drive line... I think you

1646
00:57:39,963 --> 00:57:42,520
can get to Eagle lakes down the road

1647
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,651
more. Down towards pure Pure o H. Really?

1648
00:57:45,971 --> 00:57:48,048
I I think so. Okay. Because I don't

1649
00:57:48,048 --> 00:57:50,045
think you need to drive line.

1650
00:57:50,698 --> 00:57:52,368
I don't... Know. I think you can turn

1651
00:57:52,368 --> 00:57:52,607
off...

1652
00:57:53,243 --> 00:57:55,469
I don't remember. The the the last time

1653
00:57:55,629 --> 00:57:58,173
I accidentally... We turned the very first time,

1654
00:57:58,412 --> 00:58:00,082
I think it was the very very first

1655
00:58:00,082 --> 00:58:01,449
time I went to 4 ice. We went

1656
00:58:01,449 --> 00:58:02,722
the wrong way, and we started going to

1657
00:58:02,722 --> 00:58:04,949
eagle eggs. Oh, okay. And then from then

1658
00:58:04,949 --> 00:58:07,278
on, I know that it's this turn

1659
00:58:07,749 --> 00:58:09,188
you don't go that way. You go this

1660
00:58:09,188 --> 00:58:12,144
way continue on Ford. Yeah. But I don't

1661
00:58:12,144 --> 00:58:13,263
remember right now where it's at.

1662
00:58:14,062 --> 00:58:16,434
But I think you can get access Eagle

1663
00:58:16,554 --> 00:58:20,308
further down Eagle lakes road. Interesting. Eagle Lakes

1664
00:58:20,523 --> 00:58:20,998
road,

1665
00:58:22,110 --> 00:58:24,570
that kinda dead ends Last time I checked.

1666
00:58:25,617 --> 00:58:27,442
But you can get to pierce down Eagle

1667
00:58:27,442 --> 00:58:30,458
right. So kinda dead ends and loops around

1668
00:58:30,458 --> 00:58:32,203
into the trail system that used to access

1669
00:58:32,203 --> 00:58:32,362
pierce.

1670
00:58:33,092 --> 00:58:35,318
And I think it's private property at the

1671
00:58:35,318 --> 00:58:37,567
end of it. Yeah. So... But I haven't

1672
00:58:37,703 --> 00:58:40,110
explored enough to be able to give a

1673
00:58:40,167 --> 00:58:43,467
exact solid answer. Yeah. So Yeah. I don't

1674
00:58:43,685 --> 00:58:44,483
know either.

1675
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,593
Anyway, so... Yeah. Mh. Eagle Lakes is a

1676
00:58:47,593 --> 00:58:49,667
fun area. And there's a few other lakes

1677
00:58:49,667 --> 00:58:51,581
there. The only way that I know how

1678
00:58:51,581 --> 00:58:53,273
to get there is from turning off of

1679
00:58:53,353 --> 00:58:55,190
Ford. 4 turn off the staging area.

1680
00:58:56,069 --> 00:58:57,507
So that's Pierce Me in the last 1.

1681
00:58:57,986 --> 00:59:00,317
Niagara where. Micro rim. This is a trail

1682
00:59:00,317 --> 00:59:03,031
that I actually really really enjoy. Okay?

1683
00:59:03,749 --> 00:59:06,143
I no Lions butt. Lions butt. It's a

1684
00:59:06,143 --> 00:59:08,034
cool area dude. It's a it's a sweet

1685
00:59:08,313 --> 00:59:10,085
player area. Okay. I

1686
00:59:10,540 --> 00:59:12,210
take... I... Let me take that back. I've

1687
00:59:12,210 --> 00:59:12,710
driven

1688
00:59:13,642 --> 00:59:14,699
across niagara.

1689
00:59:15,249 --> 00:59:17,963
Oh, okay. To get to a lookout point

1690
00:59:17,963 --> 00:59:20,677
out on by Pine crust. Okay. But and

1691
00:59:20,677 --> 00:59:22,274
we cry, I think we crossed it or

1692
00:59:22,274 --> 00:59:24,405
drove on it for, like, a very short

1693
00:59:24,525 --> 00:59:26,445
period of time. There was a good lookout

1694
00:59:26,445 --> 00:59:28,125
point. Yeah. So you went up to lookout

1695
00:59:28,125 --> 00:59:29,644
point and then came back down. Yeah. Okay.

1696
00:59:30,045 --> 00:59:31,724
So, yeah. The cool thing about Niagara Rim,

1697
00:59:32,045 --> 00:59:33,739
1 of the cool things is very similar

1698
00:59:33,739 --> 00:59:36,380
to Bear Valley O. Right? Okay. It's 2

1699
00:59:36,380 --> 00:59:36,699
loops.

1700
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:40,114
Oh, And so... And in the middle is

1701
00:59:40,313 --> 00:59:42,061
an access point that you can use to

1702
00:59:42,061 --> 00:59:43,808
come in and out for the bottom of

1703
00:59:43,808 --> 00:59:45,318
the top loop or the top of the

1704
00:59:45,318 --> 00:59:48,439
bottom loop. Got it. And so it's... There's

1705
00:59:48,989 --> 00:59:50,909
the 3 different access points for the entire

1706
00:59:50,909 --> 00:59:51,150
trail.

1707
00:59:51,710 --> 00:59:54,210
The upper trail in my opinion is

1708
00:59:54,750 --> 00:59:57,150
more scenic. Right? You have the observation lookout,

1709
00:59:57,309 --> 00:59:59,878
which is fantastic. It's a really cool observation

1710
00:59:59,878 --> 01:00:02,131
out. And then as you get down

1711
01:00:02,587 --> 01:00:04,419
into and start approaching the second loop,

1712
01:00:05,136 --> 01:00:07,545
you get the some of the obstacles like

1713
01:00:07,625 --> 01:00:09,561
Heartbreak break hill, which is

1714
01:00:10,099 --> 01:00:13,233
very intimidating. It's just a loose really

1715
01:00:13,611 --> 01:00:14,111
steep

1716
01:00:14,662 --> 01:00:18,088
dirt incline or decline. Oh, So Okay. It's...

1717
01:00:18,407 --> 01:00:20,160
If you're going up at, it's it's a

1718
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,311
tough climb because it's loose dirt and your

1719
01:00:22,311 --> 01:00:24,953
front end gets really light. Got it. If

1720
01:00:24,953 --> 01:00:26,940
you're going down heartbreak hill,

1721
01:00:27,575 --> 01:00:29,641
they named it because you are standing on

1722
01:00:29,641 --> 01:00:31,628
your brakes, your tires are not turning and

1723
01:00:31,628 --> 01:00:34,034
you're still going downhill. You're sliding downhill.

1724
01:00:34,755 --> 01:00:35,474
That. Yes.

1725
01:00:36,275 --> 01:00:38,835
Yeah. Like truck hill and a h. Yeah.

1726
01:00:39,074 --> 01:00:41,155
It's very similar in steep to truck hill

1727
01:00:41,234 --> 01:00:43,804
Not nearly as calls truck hill. Sure. But

1728
01:00:43,804 --> 01:00:45,638
steep ness and loose dirt like Truck hill?

1729
01:00:45,878 --> 01:00:48,190
Yeah. So heartbreak hills is an interesting 1.

1730
01:00:49,148 --> 01:00:51,222
What is the other 1 side wall, suicide.

1731
01:00:51,954 --> 01:00:53,626
Okay. I like the names. It's a fun...

1732
01:00:53,785 --> 01:00:55,297
They've got some fun names for this place.

1733
01:00:55,775 --> 01:00:57,946
And it's just it's a really tight turn

1734
01:00:58,083 --> 01:00:59,357
right next to Lava rock.

1735
01:01:00,247 --> 01:01:02,473
And so you just have to stay as

1736
01:01:02,473 --> 01:01:03,825
far away from the lava rock as you

1737
01:01:03,825 --> 01:01:05,494
can. If you don't, you're gonna slash side

1738
01:01:05,494 --> 01:01:07,403
wall. Yep. And then there's a cup no

1739
01:01:07,403 --> 01:01:09,889
way out. Is another 1. So if you're

1740
01:01:09,889 --> 01:01:13,318
going in that and descending, it's really hard

1741
01:01:13,318 --> 01:01:15,073
to come out, because it's all lava rock,

1742
01:01:15,233 --> 01:01:17,306
but it's like, almost polished lava rock at

1743
01:01:17,306 --> 01:01:17,705
this point,

1744
01:01:18,438 --> 01:01:20,673
with some interesting ledge in it. And so

1745
01:01:20,673 --> 01:01:21,791
it's just if you get down to the

1746
01:01:21,791 --> 01:01:23,626
bottom, it's hard to come back up out

1747
01:01:23,626 --> 01:01:24,744
of it, so they call no way out.

1748
01:01:24,903 --> 01:01:27,312
Just keep going forward it. Right. Yeah. Not

1749
01:01:27,312 --> 01:01:30,420
a difficult trail by any means. The obstacles

1750
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:32,354
are not really difficult and all the obstacles

1751
01:01:32,492 --> 01:01:33,629
I'd believe have bypass.

1752
01:01:34,005 --> 01:01:35,758
A heartbreak kill may not have a bypass.

1753
01:01:35,997 --> 01:01:36,657
I might

1754
01:01:36,969 --> 01:01:38,724
I'm gonna hold off on that 1. But

1755
01:01:38,804 --> 01:01:40,320
Side Suicide has a bypass.

1756
01:01:41,038 --> 01:01:42,315
I don't think no way out has a

1757
01:01:42,315 --> 01:01:42,953
bypass either.

1758
01:01:43,592 --> 01:01:43,831
But

1759
01:01:44,564 --> 01:01:46,318
Not a really difficult trail. You can do

1760
01:01:46,318 --> 01:01:48,552
it with 33 in a locker. You don't

1761
01:01:48,552 --> 01:01:50,307
need a ton of ground clearance. That trail.

1762
01:01:50,466 --> 01:01:52,141
The the tricky parts of that trail are

1763
01:01:52,141 --> 01:01:52,641
more

1764
01:01:53,178 --> 01:01:57,104
traction games Yeah. Sure. So having lockers really

1765
01:01:57,104 --> 01:01:58,381
helps a lot. You can do the whole

1766
01:01:58,381 --> 01:02:00,457
trail with lockers front and rear and not

1767
01:02:00,457 --> 01:02:03,091
have any issues. But what's really neat about

1768
01:02:03,091 --> 01:02:03,490
that trail.

1769
01:02:04,144 --> 01:02:06,302
Are the play areas. Right. That's what I've

1770
01:02:06,302 --> 01:02:07,740
heard that Yeah. Like, the trails is 1

1771
01:02:07,740 --> 01:02:09,179
thing, but there's a lot of play areas

1772
01:02:09,179 --> 01:02:11,816
off to the sides. Mh. So, kinda in

1773
01:02:11,816 --> 01:02:13,115
the middle of

1774
01:02:13,509 --> 01:02:16,225
the top, as you're coming around halfway through

1775
01:02:16,225 --> 01:02:19,262
the top trail, I believe is an area

1776
01:02:19,262 --> 01:02:20,460
called Lions butt.

1777
01:02:21,272 --> 01:02:23,178
And it's funny. It's named to that because

1778
01:02:23,178 --> 01:02:25,561
it's... They're making fun of lions back in

1779
01:02:25,719 --> 01:02:29,079
Moa, Moa. Because, in Moa, there's lot of

1780
01:02:29,135 --> 01:02:30,349
really high

1781
01:02:30,817 --> 01:02:31,317
traction

1782
01:02:31,691 --> 01:02:33,596
slick rock. Right? The sands stone out there.

1783
01:02:34,311 --> 01:02:37,034
This play area lines butt is a ton

1784
01:02:37,327 --> 01:02:38,304
of just open

1785
01:02:38,677 --> 01:02:39,177
granite

1786
01:02:39,963 --> 01:02:41,020
that has a

1787
01:02:41,396 --> 01:02:44,739
choose your adventure lines everywhere. Okay. And there's

1788
01:02:44,739 --> 01:02:47,659
1 granite rock there that kinda is shaped

1789
01:02:47,858 --> 01:02:49,927
like the back end of a lion with

1790
01:02:49,927 --> 01:02:50,881
a bush in the middle.

1791
01:02:51,518 --> 01:02:53,586
Okay. So it looks like a lion's butt.

1792
01:02:53,984 --> 01:02:55,893
Got it. When you're looking at it Sure.

1793
01:02:56,131 --> 01:02:56,291
Sure.

1794
01:02:57,021 --> 01:02:59,010
But there's a a couple really fun climbs

1795
01:02:59,010 --> 01:03:01,159
there. There's some little spots where you can

1796
01:03:01,159 --> 01:03:03,068
just get down and twisted as you're coming

1797
01:03:03,068 --> 01:03:04,341
down and descent, but a tight turn you

1798
01:03:04,341 --> 01:03:05,296
gotta turn out of it.

1799
01:03:05,949 --> 01:03:08,283
There's a lot of choose your adventure

1800
01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:11,452
granite traction games to play with your vehicle.

1801
01:03:11,612 --> 01:03:13,606
Cool. And the lines about play area. Yeah.

1802
01:03:14,323 --> 01:03:16,494
And then there's the rocket pile rock,

1803
01:03:17,135 --> 01:03:19,454
rock area. I think it's called. That is

1804
01:03:19,454 --> 01:03:20,255
another play area,

1805
01:03:20,974 --> 01:03:22,894
and it is more like moon rocks.

1806
01:03:23,628 --> 01:03:26,088
In granite. So there's a couple of big

1807
01:03:26,088 --> 01:03:26,826
v notches

1808
01:03:27,278 --> 01:03:28,786
to play on, and then a couple of

1809
01:03:28,786 --> 01:03:30,317
just big granite walls

1810
01:03:30,943 --> 01:03:32,933
that really the bug go play on. Yeah.

1811
01:03:33,092 --> 01:03:35,798
Sure. Because there is a very high chance

1812
01:03:35,798 --> 01:03:37,231
you are rolling your rig if you go

1813
01:03:37,231 --> 01:03:38,106
play on the granite walls.

1814
01:03:38,996 --> 01:03:40,584
But the v notches are pretty fun. They're

1815
01:03:40,584 --> 01:03:41,378
very intimidating,

1816
01:03:42,093 --> 01:03:44,556
but most vehicles can do the v notches.

1817
01:03:44,714 --> 01:03:46,144
It's just how good are you at doing

1818
01:03:46,144 --> 01:03:48,952
v notches. Sure. But it's a it's... The

1819
01:03:48,952 --> 01:03:51,349
the rock pile is the bigger play area.

1820
01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:54,307
You're gonna want bigger tires, bigger axles. You're

1821
01:03:54,307 --> 01:03:55,905
gonna bind up axle shafts. Do not take

1822
01:03:55,985 --> 01:03:58,634
Dana 30 fives to the rock area, whereas

1823
01:03:58,634 --> 01:04:01,109
lines, but that's really good for anybody. You

1824
01:04:01,109 --> 01:04:03,344
can find something to play in your vehicle

1825
01:04:03,344 --> 01:04:05,354
there no matter what vehicle you have. Okay.

1826
01:04:05,514 --> 01:04:07,929
But the rock area, you definitely want

1827
01:04:08,307 --> 01:04:10,621
better geared more capable vehicles if you wanna

1828
01:04:10,621 --> 01:04:12,378
go play there. Got it. But there's 2

1829
01:04:12,378 --> 01:04:15,126
different play areas with a really neat trail

1830
01:04:15,184 --> 01:04:16,322
with some fun obstacles

1831
01:04:17,098 --> 01:04:18,454
with a gorgeous lookout,

1832
01:04:19,092 --> 01:04:21,484
and there's an Oh camping area and a

1833
01:04:21,484 --> 01:04:22,861
regular camping area

1834
01:04:23,572 --> 01:04:25,163
right off of pretty much the main highway.

1835
01:04:25,322 --> 01:04:27,391
What is that 01:08? 1 0. Highway 01:08.

1836
01:04:27,630 --> 01:04:29,301
It's up in the pine crust area. Right.

1837
01:04:29,937 --> 01:04:30,437
So

1838
01:04:30,748 --> 01:04:33,141
The shitty part about Na is how long

1839
01:04:33,141 --> 01:04:34,338
it takes to get out there. It's just

1840
01:04:34,338 --> 01:04:35,614
in the middle of nowhere. In the middle

1841
01:04:35,614 --> 01:04:38,485
of nowhere. It takes rails raining really. There's

1842
01:04:38,485 --> 01:04:40,161
a ton of fire roads around it. U.

1843
01:04:40,654 --> 01:04:42,412
I've done a fire road out in that

1844
01:04:42,412 --> 01:04:42,912
area

1845
01:04:43,531 --> 01:04:46,028
from more or less Pine crust lake, to

1846
01:04:46,088 --> 01:04:49,057
almost Son nora. Oh fire road. Wow. That

1847
01:04:49,057 --> 01:04:50,650
was a lot of fun. Yeah. We ended

1848
01:04:50,650 --> 01:04:51,844
at the cider.

1849
01:04:52,402 --> 01:04:54,393
Okay. I'm drawing a blink of the name.

1850
01:04:54,552 --> 01:04:56,065
That the 1 that there's the metal bottles?

1851
01:04:56,304 --> 01:04:56,543
Yes.

1852
01:04:57,911 --> 01:05:00,059
Indigenous. Yes. Indigenous cider. I was about to

1853
01:05:00,059 --> 01:05:02,047
y'all all the secretary. Yeah. It's such a

1854
01:05:02,047 --> 01:05:03,877
good little spot. Yep. But that's also out

1855
01:05:03,877 --> 01:05:05,070
in the middle of nowhere. It takes you

1856
01:05:05,070 --> 01:05:05,627
a while. Like,

1857
01:05:06,278 --> 01:05:08,190
20 minutes outside of son or something like...

1858
01:05:08,428 --> 01:05:10,578
Yeah. But that was fun. We did that.

1859
01:05:11,215 --> 01:05:12,569
There's tons of fire roads out in that

1860
01:05:12,569 --> 01:05:14,321
area. And then there is the lake.

1861
01:05:14,893 --> 01:05:16,087
Pine crust lake, which is a lot of

1862
01:05:16,087 --> 01:05:19,110
fun. And then, yeah, there's Niagara further up

1863
01:05:19,110 --> 01:05:21,576
the highway. Yeah. So and I go to

1864
01:05:21,655 --> 01:05:23,539
Pine crust a lot, but I usually don't

1865
01:05:23,739 --> 01:05:25,332
I never take bob cat out there. So

1866
01:05:25,412 --> 01:05:27,165
I don't really ever go wheel in that

1867
01:05:27,165 --> 01:05:29,475
general area. Okay. But I think I'm gonna

1868
01:05:29,475 --> 01:05:31,483
have to 1 of these days because It's

1869
01:05:31,483 --> 01:05:33,898
definitely a trail out there. It's so... It's

1870
01:05:34,117 --> 01:05:36,112
it is 1 of my top favorite trails.

1871
01:05:36,351 --> 01:05:38,985
It might be, you know, right behind Rub

1872
01:05:38,985 --> 01:05:40,914
con. So Barrett Lake Rub on the Niagara

1873
01:05:40,914 --> 01:05:42,987
or rim for me now. Okay. But I

1874
01:05:42,987 --> 01:05:45,619
hate going out to it. It just so

1875
01:05:45,619 --> 01:05:47,134
far out, It takes me 5, 5 and

1876
01:05:47,134 --> 01:05:48,903
a half hours to get there. Yeah. And

1877
01:05:48,903 --> 01:05:50,338
there's no easy way to get to it

1878
01:05:50,338 --> 01:05:52,250
no matter where you're coming from. No. And

1879
01:05:52,250 --> 01:05:53,924
so it... But it is... It's a really

1880
01:05:53,924 --> 01:05:55,996
fun trail. It's a gorgeous trail.

1881
01:05:56,807 --> 01:05:58,713
There's a spot. I think you would really

1882
01:05:58,713 --> 01:06:01,811
enjoy. There's I supposedly the oldest juniper tree

1883
01:06:01,811 --> 01:06:04,532
in California that they found. Oh, is right

1884
01:06:04,532 --> 01:06:06,207
out by the trail so you can drive

1885
01:06:06,207 --> 01:06:08,441
past Niagara Rim and go and visit the

1886
01:06:08,441 --> 01:06:10,516
oldest Juniper tree, and there's a a dude

1887
01:06:10,516 --> 01:06:11,967
that lives out there and tells you all

1888
01:06:11,967 --> 01:06:14,680
about it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. So that's

1889
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,436
kinda of fun for the the the plant

1890
01:06:16,436 --> 01:06:17,175
and tree

1891
01:06:17,713 --> 01:06:20,283
lovers out there. Hold h culture. Yeah. The

1892
01:06:20,283 --> 01:06:23,079
h. Yeah. But yeah. It's a it's a

1893
01:06:23,079 --> 01:06:24,517
cool little spot in the camping area. If

1894
01:06:24,517 --> 01:06:26,115
you do the the regular campground,

1895
01:06:26,609 --> 01:06:29,003
It's a pretty sweet little campground. It's not

1896
01:06:29,003 --> 01:06:31,238
big. It holds about 15 vehicles maybe,

1897
01:06:31,797 --> 01:06:32,196
and it's

1898
01:06:32,914 --> 01:06:34,750
first come first served paid camping.

1899
01:06:35,481 --> 01:06:37,068
And then there's a... Is an Oh v

1900
01:06:37,068 --> 01:06:38,497
area if you wanted to bring a trailer.

1901
01:06:38,815 --> 01:06:41,355
Okay. So... Cool. Yeah. I know that it's

1902
01:06:41,355 --> 01:06:43,101
a it's a gorgeous area too. It's up

1903
01:06:43,101 --> 01:06:43,577
in the mountains.

1904
01:06:44,148 --> 01:06:45,739
You're pretty much at the peak. I mean,

1905
01:06:45,819 --> 01:06:46,376
you're on the rim,

1906
01:06:47,171 --> 01:06:49,898
The mountain. Yep. So, I mean, weather

1907
01:06:50,353 --> 01:06:52,998
dependent all weather could change very quick out

1908
01:06:52,998 --> 01:06:53,955
that direction. Yeah.

1909
01:06:54,912 --> 01:06:57,145
But, you know, it definitely snows up there,

1910
01:06:57,384 --> 01:06:58,740
so when's a good time to go. I

1911
01:06:58,740 --> 01:07:01,309
mean, you're looking at summertime time. Also probably,

1912
01:07:01,869 --> 01:07:04,030
I would say it gets hot out there

1913
01:07:04,030 --> 01:07:05,309
too. So that's hot out there. I I'd

1914
01:07:05,309 --> 01:07:07,230
say early summer or late summer would be

1915
01:07:07,230 --> 01:07:08,909
a great times to be out in that

1916
01:07:08,909 --> 01:07:11,559
direction. Are there any water sources up at

1917
01:07:11,559 --> 01:07:13,793
the top. Not really on the trail up

1918
01:07:13,793 --> 01:07:14,911
at the top. There's not a whole lot

1919
01:07:14,911 --> 01:07:17,065
of water, Not no real creek, the...

1920
01:07:17,798 --> 01:07:20,592
Regular campground is near a Creek. It's not

1921
01:07:20,592 --> 01:07:22,987
right on the Creek, but it's within a

1922
01:07:22,987 --> 01:07:24,743
2 minute drive. Yeah. You wanted to go

1923
01:07:24,743 --> 01:07:25,701
over to the Creek and take a quick

1924
01:07:25,701 --> 01:07:27,864
dip. Yeah. I would probably say that if

1925
01:07:27,864 --> 01:07:30,009
you're going up in that area, it'd be

1926
01:07:30,009 --> 01:07:32,018
probably your best bet to camp around

1927
01:07:32,392 --> 01:07:34,795
Pine Chris Lake. And that'd be fun. You...

1928
01:07:35,035 --> 01:07:35,694
It's probably

1929
01:07:36,151 --> 01:07:37,985
30 minutes up the road. We're gonna guess

1930
01:07:37,985 --> 01:07:41,016
20 30. Yeah. To to kinda generally start

1931
01:07:41,016 --> 01:07:44,062
the trail. Yeah. And so... You know, that's

1932
01:07:44,062 --> 01:07:45,498
not gonna be a bad little trip there.

1933
01:07:45,658 --> 01:07:47,494
And then when you're done, you know, you

1934
01:07:47,494 --> 01:07:49,010
just drive back to the lake. Yeah. Hang

1935
01:07:49,010 --> 01:07:50,765
out. A lot of camping around Pine Chris

1936
01:07:50,925 --> 01:07:52,938
Lake. There's a few good campground grounds. They're

1937
01:07:52,938 --> 01:07:54,296
not right on the lake for the most

1938
01:07:54,296 --> 01:07:56,294
part, but there's tons of camping in the

1939
01:07:56,294 --> 01:07:58,052
general area and then getting to the lake

1940
01:07:58,052 --> 01:07:59,810
is super easy, lots of parking around.

1941
01:08:00,541 --> 01:08:02,524
Right up on the water there, at, Pine

1942
01:08:02,603 --> 01:08:04,269
Chris Lake and a lot of, like, picnic

1943
01:08:04,269 --> 01:08:06,093
tables and picnic lake as well. Yeah. It's

1944
01:08:06,093 --> 01:08:07,838
also a general store kind... Well,

1945
01:08:08,568 --> 01:08:10,796
Snack shack. I'll go with. Okay. On the

1946
01:08:10,796 --> 01:08:12,068
lake where you can get some ice cream

1947
01:08:12,068 --> 01:08:13,739
or snacks or whatever is? Yeah. It's a

1948
01:08:13,739 --> 01:08:16,127
fun little lake. Sweet. I I've never stayed

1949
01:08:16,127 --> 01:08:18,293
a point Chris like before. So... Yeah. Pine

1950
01:08:18,293 --> 01:08:20,371
crust is pretty pretty full little area. There's

1951
01:08:20,371 --> 01:08:23,887
also shoot 5 mile hike around the entire

1952
01:08:23,887 --> 01:08:26,445
lake. Oh, right? You're pretty much like on...

1953
01:08:27,418 --> 01:08:29,816
Almost the shore. And on the backside, you're

1954
01:08:29,816 --> 01:08:31,974
kind of on some, like granite cliff fish

1955
01:08:31,974 --> 01:08:34,530
areas. Okay. Not dangerous at all. There's even

1956
01:08:34,530 --> 01:08:37,256
railings up. To just safety factors, but it's

1957
01:08:37,256 --> 01:08:41,076
a it's a fun, very doable hike if

1958
01:08:41,076 --> 01:08:43,940
you're okay with hiking and some small amount

1959
01:08:43,940 --> 01:08:44,918
of heights

1960
01:08:45,468 --> 01:08:47,621
Okay. Cool. But. I wouldn't I would not

1961
01:08:47,621 --> 01:08:50,013
advise, like, a grandma or a grandpa in

1962
01:08:50,013 --> 01:08:52,405
dyke. Unless their fit and willing to do

1963
01:08:52,405 --> 01:08:53,920
it. Because you are at elevation too.

1964
01:08:54,890 --> 01:08:56,240
Yeah. So you're get to the other side

1965
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:57,592
of the lake and you're do doing a

1966
01:08:57,592 --> 01:08:59,898
little bit of actual climbing. Mh. I wouldn't

1967
01:08:59,898 --> 01:09:01,249
say scaling. You're not hands and knees or,

1968
01:09:01,328 --> 01:09:02,760
you know, or hands and feet climbing up

1969
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,184
a mountain. But... You are hu and Puff

1970
01:09:05,241 --> 01:09:07,789
at some of the backside. Okay. Yeah. So,

1971
01:09:08,028 --> 01:09:10,496
I think that does it for our trail

1972
01:09:10,496 --> 01:09:12,184
stuff. I think we're gonna come back. Can

1973
01:09:12,184 --> 01:09:14,443
do 1, maybe 2 more

1974
01:09:14,981 --> 01:09:18,018
episodes on some areas. Other areas we've been

1975
01:09:18,018 --> 01:09:19,296
wheel at, and we can kinda give our

1976
01:09:19,296 --> 01:09:20,789
opinion about what we love about them. Okay

1977
01:09:20,908 --> 01:09:23,693
Yeah. We definitely have... I I foresee us

1978
01:09:23,693 --> 01:09:27,033
talking about the Fresno general area. Mh.

1979
01:09:27,828 --> 01:09:29,913
I've only wheeled 1 trail. Out in that

1980
01:09:29,913 --> 01:09:31,350
area. I know Tyler's done a whole bunch

1981
01:09:31,350 --> 01:09:33,584
because he grew up down there. So maybe

1982
01:09:33,584 --> 01:09:35,420
we'll cover some of those trails. And then

1983
01:09:35,499 --> 01:09:38,385
I foresee us talking about pull possibly Johnson

1984
01:09:38,465 --> 01:09:40,216
Valley a little bit and maybe a little

1985
01:09:40,216 --> 01:09:42,287
bit of Moa. So we'll see how much

1986
01:09:42,287 --> 01:09:44,358
more we can get into. Yep. Cool. So

1987
01:09:44,358 --> 01:09:47,323
it does it. And hopefully, this podcast this

1988
01:09:47,643 --> 01:09:49,881
Youtube is gives you guys some information. If

1989
01:09:49,881 --> 01:09:51,239
you're looking at some of these trails or

1990
01:09:51,239 --> 01:09:53,237
you've heard about Hell hole or heard about

1991
01:09:53,237 --> 01:09:54,915
niagara or rim before and you've always been

1992
01:09:54,915 --> 01:09:56,609
like Wanna go check that trail out. Yeah.

1993
01:09:56,770 --> 01:09:58,369
Help us give you guys some insight and

1994
01:09:58,369 --> 01:10:00,050
some of the the positives and the lure

1995
01:10:00,050 --> 01:10:02,130
to those trails, and you can decide if

1996
01:10:02,130 --> 01:10:03,489
you really wanna go check those out or

1997
01:10:03,489 --> 01:10:04,229
not. So

1998
01:10:04,622 --> 01:10:06,214
we'll continue it later on down the road,

1999
01:10:06,532 --> 01:10:06,771
and,

2000
01:10:07,487 --> 01:10:09,635
hopefully, everybody enjoys their week. Hopefully you guys

2001
01:10:09,635 --> 01:10:10,510
had a great weekend.

2002
01:10:11,624 --> 01:10:13,630

01:10:36,593 --> 01:10:41,622
episodes. That phone number is area code 9163454744.

2015
01:10:42,099 --> 01:10:43,770
Don't stop driving now because it's in the

2016
01:10:43,770 --> 01:10:45,202
show notes so you can grab it at

2017
01:10:45,202 --> 01:10:45,997
time. Perfect.

2018
01:10:46,649 --> 01:10:49,676
With that, Jimmy, any final words for everybody

2019
01:10:49,676 --> 01:10:50,154
out there.

2020
01:10:51,030 --> 01:10:53,818
I liked this chunk of trails that we

2021
01:10:53,818 --> 01:10:56,220
just covered because I really think that it's

2022
01:10:56,776 --> 01:10:58,998
more of the basic side of the trail.

2023
01:10:59,157 --> 01:11:02,333
So you don't need anything extravagant. You don't

2024
01:11:02,333 --> 01:11:04,398
need a wild rig to go and do

2025
01:11:04,398 --> 01:11:06,324
them. I think if you just got you

2026
01:11:06,324 --> 01:11:07,919
and a buddy and you have some decent

2027
01:11:07,919 --> 01:11:08,556
rock protection,

2028
01:11:09,274 --> 01:11:11,666
all these trails that we've listed today are

2029
01:11:11,666 --> 01:11:13,420
a fun trail to do with a friend.

2030
01:11:13,832 --> 01:11:14,968
1000

2031
01:11:15,103 --> 01:11:16,453
percent. And with that my friends.

2032
01:11:17,088 --> 01:11:17,644
Keep crawling.

2033
01:11:46,252 --> 01:11:47,842
I got 1 for you. K.

2034
01:11:48,478 --> 01:11:49,614
Ready. Why

2035
01:11:50,148 --> 01:11:51,125
would you never

2036
01:11:51,674 --> 01:11:52,153
iron,

2037
01:11:52,551 --> 01:11:53,907
a 4 leaf clover.

2038
01:11:55,822 --> 01:11:58,294
Why would you never iron a 4 leaf

2039
01:11:58,294 --> 01:12:00,607
clover, iron, a 4 leaf clover.

2040
01:12:03,329 --> 01:12:06,195
Iron A4I don't know. Why? Because you don't

2041
01:12:06,195 --> 01:12:08,742
wanna press your luck. God ding, Jimmy.

2042
01:12:09,943 --> 01:12:11,605
Okay. Don't press at Tyler.
