The Jamboree moved the date again for 2018. It is Sept 11th this year. The reason they had to change dates after 10 years is because there was a permit and grouse issue.

Absolutely right, Alan. There is no way you can predict the snow pack, or for that matter the rate of snow melt. June Lake sounds like a great addition to an already great ride. Unless something unforeseen or unavoidable comes up, count us in!! Uhhhh, by the way, which grandson do you want this year??? Just kidding!Quote:

June lake is a must do for me this year.. the trails are a bit laid back but link to some of the mammoth area trails. The beach and lake are beautiful! A place where you bring the lawn chair and do nothing but hang out all day. The campground to use a ohv is dry ran by the forest service . it fills up quick in the summer so putting is a res well in advance on line is a must! There is another campground there with hookups but I found they are hard to deal with and they don't allow you to drive your ohv in and out... . There is a motel there but would have to trailer your rig. I"ll find the link to the fs campground and post it up.
unfortunately timing the snow pack melt to get over mt Patterson can be tricky this early but it is the high light of the ride. Last year we were first over it and that was mid July. so tentative I would say 6/20 to 6/23 Bridgeport then move to June lake 6/24 to 6/27 or so.... I fear that later in the season unless we start getting lots of rain Bridgeport lake will be near dry and we may as well go on the Yerington side and stay at Walker river resort in the fall. The eastern Sierra jamboree for many years was at end of June but moved to sept last year most likely for this reason, but we had a lot of snow last year. I would prefer not doing a ride at the same time there having the jamboree...
Motleyones ill be glad to meet you up there for a quick run on a time that works better for you or gladly send you the gps tracks. pm me and ill send last years to you.
June is good! Later in the month would be better, the kids would be out of school! I've been dying to go ride around the Bodi area.
Bodie and surrounds makes for a great ride for the kids! With Alan's help, I've taken my two oldest grandkids (9 and 10) the last two years. They've seen and read all the stories about Bodie and its history, as well as the top of Mt Patterson and the other "ghost towns" and remains in the area. We are already looking forward (that's code for "being hounded by the grandkids") to this year's ride.Quote:

Depending on the participation I’m considering that we not go to Bridgeport and switch to Walker river resort instead! We can still go over mt Patterson but take in some of the yerington trails instead! It’s a much bigger park to camp at...still thinking6/20-23 ish looked into June lake possible the weekend before but maybe difficult to get res for a group there... most of the big sites are allready reserved at oh ridge...
