Sacramento Area Thread

@Bodie the Dog got tired of me saying no eh? Do like Sean Connery and don't take no for an answer

 

You told me "no means yes," you big tease.

Here's Monday on the Divide. That's Snow Mountain in the background, above the Royal Gorge. And I got karma points for helping a jeeper get his flat tire off.

 

Sorry Bodie, I do work the weekdays, food and rent doesn't cover itself unfortunately.. maybe one day Here is a vid of Sourgrass, the creek crossing and the rock garden. Great trial to get your adrenaline up and test out your armor

The cheering you hear on first obstacle is because there were 3 tacos that went in front of me and made things look a lot harder. Different line and rocks got stacked, everyone cleared this obstacle in the end, although i was the only one with plastic rear bumper

 

Where is Sourgrass? I recall a video of that creek at high water, and someone breaking their 4runner on it, lol.

I'm delaying my Barney Riley trip until the Fall. All the flooding and snags coming down makes me wonder about the condition of the roads. This will give other OHVer's more time to fix the problems.

 

Sourgrass is of Hwy 4, bit North of it is Corral Hollow, Deer Valley, and Slick Rock.

 

I am doing work up there again this weekend and I am thinking about hitting Barney Riley to take a look. Maybe coming in from the mine side. If I do, I will let you know how it is looking

 

Much appreciated. I was thinking of Loupe Canyon in particular. I've seen that wash out more than a couple times. I'll send you a map showing a prime crystal spot, too.

 

Got 4 little planters from west fork of the Carson river! Maybe some leviathan mine tomorrow. We will see how the family is doing haha

 

Got out and did some shooting with the kid today!

 

Nice to get out

 

I’m jealous of you and the kid Chris!
Were you up or downstream of the handicap access on west fork? Shooting off Mormon emigrant trail?

 

Overlooking the handicap access!!! Haha!!!

Overlooking the handicap access fishing spot in hope valley! We were shooting into some old mining tails and grabbing some cool crystals ( @Bodie the Dog )

 

IDK the handicap fishing spot, but I'm jello. Wanna share? Are you near Scott's Lake? Here's a map showing a large Indian village site near the campground. I've heard there are many tree carvings, too, but I haven't found many, just one that says "MURDER" on Luther Pass, lol.

 

Ha! I just drove through Luther Pass yesterday!

 

We fished in this area and we're wheeling above it!! You pretty much nailed where we were!

 

See the little bastard!!!! Tried to grab a fish off our line haha

 

Where's waldo? I don't see it. Snake, bird, or turtle?

Fergot to mention there's a large boulder with a couple bedrock mortars at its base in the meadow there:

 

Pine martin (fur snake haha)

 

Just signed up to be a vendor slinging my vinyl. I feel kinda weird because I am just a hobbyist but what the hell. If you go swing by and find me. (I will probably have a few beers hidden in a cooler.. no promises though) haha

 

@MyWyfsRnnr to hell you go. Buuuuutt I'll come see you.

Side note @Bodie the Dog just ran the Summit Lake trail. Was fun, pokey. Did some trail cleanup, made all the way to the lake and ... That lake is fucking gross. Maybe because late season?

 

Ouch! You got me right in the feelings! Hahahah! There are quite a few lakes getting some bad algae blooms right now in the Sierras. Red lake they are saying to stay clear of completely. Never had an issue there till they spread the fish from Caples into it when they drained it to do the Dam work. Lake herpes.

 

In 2019 (I think) there was a lot of algae blooms in the delta and some of the coastal waters. I made the mistake of riding the jetski on some of the delta waterways and got sick as dog for a week.

 

Summit Lake on Donner Summit? Never been there, but there are tree carvings alongside the creek in Negro Canyon. Looks nasty even on Google Earth:

 

Today near Yuba Gap, AQI over 600. And this was a good moment, when the smoke had lifted for a while. Good thing we all have masks, lol.

 

Damn man, my friend in South Lake isn’t that bad.

 

@Bodie the Dog

Natural history museum at Sierra College

They "Rock".

 

It's very cool! Been there a few times. We have some nice sites in the area, if anyone is interested. My favorite relic is definitely @Bodie the Dog , he's we'll preserved and always reminds me of the past.

 

I haven't been there in forever. Time to take a trip, thanks for the heads up.

First time I've been called a "relic," ha.

Nevada County Gem & Mineral Society is having their annual show October 8-9 at the NevCo fairgrounds. I'll be there, moving rocks around. El Dorado County Rock Club's show is the next weekend, in Placerville I think.

Here's a rock from Monitor Pass:

 

Red lake has had some issues

 

Ooooo @MyWyfsRnnr and @Bodie the Dog have competing events.
