83sleepr · 04-08-2007, 07:34 PM

seeing if anyone would be interested in running hell hole this coming weekend?

Luvtowheel · 04-09-2007, 05:58 PM

i though the roads were still closed from the winter?

83sleepr · 04-09-2007, 08:24 PM

i called Georgetown ranger district and they said all trails and roads are open at this time. i might take a quick drive up there in the morning to see (i live pretty close).

gostr8 · 04-09-2007, 10:05 PM

I know alot of people that are already going so you will surely run into other wheelers. Not sure if I can make it.

83sleepr · 04-09-2007, 10:23 PM

83sleepr · 04-10-2007, 07:19 PM

yeah for sure, do you know where it is? u can either meet up somewhere before the trail or at the trail at around 1030am.

Al Kaholick · 04-11-2007, 02:41 PM

what kind of stuff is out there?

83sleepr · 04-11-2007, 03:49 PM

its a fun trail, some pretty hard spots especially if the rocks are wet and you dont have a locked truck, and a few good size ledges. once your at the lake there are some sweet views and camping spots. its not like the con or fordyce, but still worth the trip out there.

Stuman · 04-11-2007, 07:50 PM

i would have figured it was higher than that. we did get a dusting of snow here at about 4000 feet last night. it is just about gone now. quite a bit of rain came through so i bet there is snow at the higher elevations.

jethrodeg · 04-12-2007, 12:16 PM

The campground is about 5200' and the water is about 4700'. Could be snow.

83sleepr · 04-12-2007, 12:26 PM

yeah it might be higher than 4300 i just got it off some site, i would rather have snow anyways.

so is there anyone who is going for sure??????

Al Kaholick · 04-13-2007, 10:42 AM

Sounds like the trailhead is only a few miles from the rubicon. Are you going saturday or sunday or both? Sounds like fun but I have some stuff going on Saturday. If you are heading up Sunday I would like to tag along.

83sleepr · 04-13-2007, 11:40 AM

im heading up tomorrow morning, i dont know if were staying the night. i have to see how the weather is treating us

banthis · 04-13-2007, 12:14 PM

Damn, wife is working tomorrow... been wanting to wheel that- just be for the day for me at best if I go.

What 83 said, anybody else down to go?
