This ride is to look for a way to get from Burney to Twin Bridges camp ground.

I don't have any mileage how much fuel it's going to take.

Leave time 9:30
Stage at the end of old dump below the water tank.

Directions.....
Coming in from the west
Turn right at the 2nd stop light at the USA gas station go down the road to just below the water tank park on the side of the road.
Coming from the east turn left at first stop light by the USA gas station and go down to just below the water tank. This will be all dirt roads and a lot of looking around.

Are you guys staging by the high school. If so your going to travel along hwy89 south going towards old station twin bridges . This will be passed the susanville turn off its hard to explain if you don't no the area . Should be a 50-100 miles if you can make the connection

Or go to the west of Burney mtn and ride the 16 road to snowmobile park. Then cross 44 and stay to the left and you will end up at Twin Bridges. Then go out Big Pine rd past the campground, cross 44 again stay left, and make a loop back to the 16 road.

Never tried from the 89/east side of Burney mtn but a friend told me you can connect it to Tamarack rd on dirt through the burn area.

That's what we are going to try east side of burney mountain to snowmobile park then cross 44 and go to twin bridges then back to the snowmobile park road run that back to Tamarack run that to the old railroad grade that will go back to the staging area. And we can do a side trip to the top of burney mountain if we have time and fuel.
That was the plan anyway.

I'm not sure rob I think that there's 4-5 if they show up.I'm trying to put a 100 mile loop together for a club ride later when it cools down a little. I need at least 1 person to go with me.

Ed, I'd love to do this ride after some rain to settle the dust! This weekend we'll be on the Oregon coast.

Yes I think it would have been way to hot and dusty. Let's try in October.
