DAVID , LOYAL & I RODE OUT OF CORRALS AT MOORES FLAT.  THE MOUNTAIN HOME BOYS TRUCKS WERE AT THE CORRALS WHEN WE PULLED IN.

LOOP ~ 47 MILES.  SHEEP DRIVE => PRESIDENTS => HUNTERS CREEK

LOTS OF DOWN TREES AND SNOW ON THE HIGHER RIDGES 

MET A COUPLE WHO SPENT A COUPLE OF NIGHTS CAMPING ON LIME CREEK.

SNOW BANKS ON SHEEP DRIVE – THE MOUNTAIN HOME BOYS BUSTED THRU THEM FOR US !

 

WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE MOUNTAIN HOME BOYS ON THE ROAD OVER TO PRESIDENT. THEY TRIED GETTING TO THE UPPER END OF NORTH FORK BUT GOT BLOCKED BY SNOW. THEY WERE HEADED OVER ON THE ROAD TO TRY THE LOWER PORTION OF NORTH FORK.  FOUND OUT THEY GOT TURNED AROUND BY DOWN TREES & HI WATER RODE OUT SLICK EAR.

  1. The bridge looks terrible as always. It seems like I crossed a narrower bridge in 2002.

  2. The FS put in the new crossing above the beaver ponds last year. There is a rock and root you have to thread or you will dump your bike.
    That's a new bridge someone put in, much better !
