5/21 - Hell Hole Run

Where is this located Kevin?

If I get my air system figured out, I am in.

Hell Hole Reservoir. About 1/2 hour as the crow flies and 3 hours as the Jeep drives. 😀

Has anyone gone in through Foresthill? The last couple of times we met in Georgetown but going in from Auburn through Foresthill would cut the 40 minute (Google Maps time) drive to Georgetown.



According to Google Maps it's the same amount of time from Auburn to Hell Hole as it is from Georgetown to Hell Hole (2hrs 5min).



If Georgetown is more central for everyone that's fine. Either way I'm in if there are enough vehicles! 😀

There are three different ways to get to Hell Hole from Forest Hill....

Here's the directions Google Maps gives from the Starbucks near Foresthill Rd to the trail head. Not sure how accurate it is. Might need someone with an accurate odometer or GPS for some of the turns. 😀

Fastest route is route 2 via Robinson Flat. You don't have the canyon and all those 20 mile an hour turns to deal with. Google map does not take that in to consideration.

Larry, are you still in?



Josh, or anyone else interested in going?



For those that haven't been there here's a link to some pictures from last year's run.

Cole and I are both in.

For some reason this doesn't show on the calendar of upcoming runs. Should it be added?



Oh, and I've got a good stack going of raffle prizes for the next club meeting.

Kevin, with all the new snow this week, I am going to pass on this weekend. I am done with the snow. 😢

Yeah, I'm not up for a snow run. It's supposed to be warmer and sunny later in the week. How low is it snowing and is it going to stick?

Snow is expected in the 4500 to 5500 ft range, with considerable snow above 6000 ft. So far about 1 ft has fallen at the 5000ft range. I believe this is just above the hell hole elevation. It might make for an interesting run Sat. There would probably be very little snow, but a lot of mud. Also, it is supposed to be 79 on Thursday and 76 on Friday. Saturday will be a little cooler.

SNOW SUCKS 😤

I thought snow made easy trails more difficult?



Maybe there are some nice trails around Auburn?

Here's the latest. They have the snow level at 5000 ft. Hell Hole surface elevation is at 4630 ft. and the trail head looks to be around 5400 ft according to this. I'll keep an eye on things.

I would still go, with warm weather starting tomorrow, the trail will be fine by Sat. I would have gone, but I signed up to work 18 hours of overtime from Sat through Sunday morning... Cha Ching 😁

And Hard trails easier 😁

So Hell hole should be harder going in and easier going out? 😀
