Pardoe's Trail|Trail Runs / Events|Forum|Gold Hills Posse 4x4

At the last meeting I talked about setting up a Pardoe’s Trail trip later this summer. At this point I’d like to get a date figured out. I doubt we can get to the top any earlier than July or August since it’s pretty high. I’m leaning either toward the weekends of 7/12, 8/30 or 9/6. Barrett Lake is scheduled for 9/13 and August is pretty full with Sierra Trek and Dusy. Any thoughts?

For those that don’t now the trail here’s some info:

Eric and I stumbled onto this trail last year while looking for Tragedy Springs. Read my write up here: https://posse4x4.mystagingwebs.....php?t=2907

If your vehicle meets the requirements to be in the club you’ll have fun on this run. There are some tricky spots toward the top, but if you don’t feel like pushing it you can hang out and wait until the rest of us to come back.

I plan to camp and will figure out somewhere as we get closer to the date. This is a fairly long trail (15 miles in and out) but there are plenty of places to cut out on the way home. A lot of it is dirt road so it can go by pretty quickly.

If you have any date preferences, let me know otherwise I’ll pick.
