Yeah, I saw this picture today. Looks like Bridgeport is dead center, just have to hope for a slight change in wind direction before next weekend.

Local news tonight called for afternoon thunder showers Sunday and Monday on the east slope down to Mono Lake. That should help clean the air some. And the fire went from 15% containment this morning, to 25% this evening. I think we'll be OK by next weekend.
Two 9 year-olds coming with us!! Should be fun.Quote:

The park is small so be patient once you wiggle in and get settled its a great spot.
Did a quick pre-run around Paterson before heading to scope out mammoth area. It was passable but several snow drifts made it a challenge in spots.
Hope to see you all around the campfire.
Really looking forward to this trip, Alan! We found a little snow last year so this year should be even better. If those thunder showers in the forecast actually hit tomorrow, the dust may be held down as well. One thing we learned last year is to carry clothes for all weather possibilities!Quote:

See you all at the campfire!
Have fun everyone

I believe most have been there so I do not plan to stop there just drive through on Saturday. Peeps that want to stop and tour are welcome or possibly drive up in car on sunday morning.. afternoon thunder storm possible so pack a rain jacket or small tarp to place over lap for short time. has been hot in afternoon Nevada side. Fridays plan to go up and around Mt Patterson but with snow and rockslide may take a bit longer... Tony and I was the first to loop so far this year., so a early start is needed gas is optional as should be near or at 100 miles. The rv park has fixed up a community area including bbq, sinks, several tables under shade cover for pot luck or party, including large fire pit...they have wood here. they also have paddle boat and kayak to use and rent paddle boards... bring life jackets if you want to use them...
thanks all

Please post lots of pictures for those of us that aren't able to make it this year !!
