So about 15 mins ago the girl at the bottom told me pretty much everything was open even circled some that she knew were open for sure( and there on Kurt's closed list)

085 tell I hit snow and filled my back pack with trash in the process

 

[sixstringsteve]

how far did you make it 'till you hit snow on 085?

And how muddy was the single track?

 

[zukijames]

My speedo/odometer stoped working the snow starts quite always after the the mineral basin turn off. I started on the single right after tibble because the sign that was there Saturday was no longer there stopped shortly after the last water crossing.

It was pretty dry to this point but was real easy on throttle but turned around here.

Although it looks like the horses did more damage then I would have, plus when I crap in the middle of the trail I clean it up
up.

got back to the lake and saw baby and mother moose hanging out, kinda a crappy pic

So is there any interest in a wheeling run up here on memorial day? My family would like to head up. Should I start a new thread?

 

[TRD270]

[zukijames]

Going to be busy this weekend up there.. Already guys parking there Camp trailers and taping off the rest of the camp ground

Dang for real! Everyone is excited to get out and ride!

 

[jentzschman]

Can you buy annual passes online for AFC or do you need to go to the ranger station at the mouth of the canyon or main office in PG?

 

[zukijames]

I always just buy mine at the booth.. Kinda sucks to buy it right now every year I say next year ill buy it At the beginning of the month and never do so I loose a couple weeks

Monday is going to be retarded up there. If I go up it'll be Sunday.

 

[TRD270]

Sounds like Tuesday might be the day I'll be headed up

 

[UNSTUCK]

I wonder about heading in the back way, through Midway then running up Mineral Basin. That would less crowded for sure...and free to get in. I wonder if that side will be open?

 

[zukijames]

I don't think you can get in from midway 085 is blocked by snow a few miles after the turn for mineral basin

 

[Kevin B.]

If 085 is blocked with snow, I bet the upper sections of Mineral are too.

 

[UNSTUCK]

Well I'll go through AF canyon then, fighting my way through traffic.

 

[Cunnart]

I'm going to hit alpine hwy tomorrow and was wondering if anyone else wants to go. We could hit the canyon trails as well. I'm in a stock Jk wrangler. Was going to head out around 10am
