From Pat:
Thank you for adding to our meal. We had plain, keto, and pumpkin pancakes; sausages; fresh fruit; muffins; banana bread; and coffee. Happy New Year Everyone!
Early run report:
We split up. Jim T lead a group to Graniteville. Pat lead group on a simple short loop. Aurora, and Mike and Joanne followed Pat. Ron lead a large group to Henness. I will help Ron with trip report later.
From Jim T (WFF Pre-Run - Blizzard Brigade - Full Run Report):
Had a great New Years breakfast at Ron and Pats. I split off a WFF Blizzard Brigade pre-run and ran it in reverse: Tyler F to Granitville, up to Bowman Lake Rd, Tom B and Gordan busted up Forest Road 50 for a while. The heavy, wet snow (sierra cement) would have made it a very long day, so retreated back to Bowman Lake Road and up to the Forest Road 41 interchange for Lunch.
After lunch, we ran down Forest Road 21, tried the Poor Man Creek wrinkle back over to Forest Road 50 (turned back by downed trees we did not want to be bothered with), resumed down Forest Road 21 to the lower Forest Road 50 interchange, up Forest Road 50 past the Grave wrinkle, further up Forest Road 50 to a wrinkle over to Forest Road 50Alt. One path did have more downed trees but we did make it to Forest Road 50alt. Found good nice snow on both Forest Roads 50 and 50alt. Finally, we went down Forest Road 50Alt to Forest Road 50 to Forest Road 21, and out through Washington.
PSA: Frosty, I have your crockpot.
