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.

Has anyone happened to go to Google maps and search for Mt Patterson? If you click on the summit icon you will see a picture I posted from last year.

Nice picture Mark !!

Walker Rive in June is going to be pretty hot, but I'm always in for a camp trip there! They have a back corner that would be perfect for a large group.

OK, I never claimed to be the brightest bunny in the forest, but how do I do that? Every time I search "Mt Patterson" in Google maps, I get Mt Patterson Drive in Bridgeport!

Zoom out on the map slightly until you see Mt. Patterson, there will be a little icon over the summit. Click on that.

On a side note, I just received an email from Google saying it has been viewed more than 10k times!

It was actually this one, I thought the UTV's would have given it away. It is a drone pic too.

I have not been successful clearing the summit in late may or early June.. agreed it is warmer at Walker river resort and usually much cooler at Bridgeport simply because of the higher elevations there... the Yerington trails can be a scorcher in the summer but mid June or late sept can be pleasant. The Nevada side is always hotter and trying to estimate a good time that the top of the summit is passable and hit the Nevada trails at the same time... I have stayed at Bridgeport lake in mid July simply for the great view, cooler weather and a occasional afternoon thunder storm over the lake. but Walker river resort simply has more room for us...

I've never been to Walker River Resort, but I just now went to their website and it looks like a very nice place! With 50 amp hookups, we can deal with hot by turning on the ACs. They also have a pool for the kiddos.

If you get the timing perfect, it will be pure luck! We have had major thunder storms the last two years at Bridgeport, but had an absolute blast nevertheless. I will enthusiastically go to either place, as you always lead great rides, Alan. Can't wait!

We have always wanted to go to Walker Resort also. We have never heard anything bad thing about it. It sounds like a lot of fun.

ok I'll start a new thread for June 21st 22nd 23rd Walker river resort... there is a lot of riding out there.. a lot of cool mines to see. Will get to mt Patterson with a few water crossings so bring gas and will get the party started!

You guys need to pick more dates over 3 day weekends for us poor working folks! We road in July, way too hot and the main breakers for power at all blew! Rode Halloween weekend and it was perfect! I'm always ready to camp there, So count us in. If we firm up a date and approximate number of sites, I will call and see if they are willing to cut us a break on the rates...unless any of you are Walker River members, then all your guests will get a huge discount!
