Run up to FS75 FS74 on 2/1/05 (PHOTOS)

Me and a couple of buddys decided to make a run up to Greenwater for some fun today since it was so beautiful out. Here are the pics we took. The 4Runner is mine and the Taco is his. There are more pics than I posted at http://photobucket.com/albums/v638/tehserloin/

You shouldn't be able to drive up there this time of year. Lonesome Lake should be hard to get to but it looks nice up there.

Snow4runner...shoot me a PM, too, if you guys go out again somewhere like that, I'd love to go.

Midiwall - That Mt. Gardner trip looks amazing! How hard was it? Think my rig could make it? I wonder if there will be another trip up there this summer? (my fingers are crossed )

Gardner's pretty straight-forward to do. We were kinda' surprised by that snow last year, but we just shoveled a small trough and didn't have a problem. There are a number of trails around there, and a couple end up "on top" of the ridge. It's a pretty sight.

There's a group of us that start looking to get to the top of Gardner or Tinkham once the snow starts coming off. (which should be early this year!) We make 'em night runs during the week - meeting at the base around 7pm and depending on our success, are back down by 10 or 11.

Tinkham or Gardner is pretty clear to do with even a stock rig. Well, most of Tinkham is... The summit at Tinkham included a cool hill climb that's pretty much out of the question these days - it's been really rutted out and it's pretty impassible with a well-built rig. Sad... it was a fun climb.

Anyway! Yeah, you wouldn't have a problem with Gardner or the alternate trails at Tinkham.

Awesome! Is there somewhere I should keep an eye out, like WATTORA or anything, to see time details of those runs? I'd love to go!

Now that it's starting to stay light later into the evening, I have been looking at putting together a few weeknight runs again. When I do, they will be announced in the "Upcoming Events" section of the WATTORA Forum.

The link for the WATTORA Forum should be http://www.wattora.com/forum/ If you click the link that Mark was kind enough to provide, it goes directly to the upcoming events, but until you are registered, you can't view that forum.

We are in the process of doing a major rewrite on the site, so bear with us while new sections come on line.

Also, often WATTORA runs are announced here on YotaTech as well, especially the periodic combo WATTORA/YotaTech runs. But, not always...
