Trip was a good time.
Left Mazanar 1100 Saturday morning, went to Reward Mine than headed up and over Mazarouka to 168 where we pitched camp.
Got going about 1000 Sunday for a "quick" day to Silver Canyon where we promptly ran into snow just deep and slushy enough to slow us to a crawl. After a...
Huh.
Group has decided to do a pretty much whole different route, but maybe I'll check it out.
Headed down a couple of days early with the GF to do some exploring and fish on our own.
Hmmmmm
We're actually gonna travel from South to North. Had talked about camping at AH but it's supposed to be kinda warm so have some sites booked at Grays Meadow CG for that Friday (travel day).
Maybe a quick eveninh rip on a fun road will be in order 🤘🍻
Thanks

Buddy mapped our route out.

So new plan is to basically follow the Don't follow Darren route from Reward Mine to Mammoth. I guess the NPS is saying Steele Pass is wiped out.
I'm curious what you guys think the minimum vehicle requirements are for this. There's a couple of people in the Bronco Sports (think Subaru Outback)...
They look impressive that's for sure.
Are you allowed to at least go check them out or is it a look don't touch situation?
Can I drink a couple beers and pee into the wind at the top?
Thanks for the info!
The dunes is where the group decided to camp for the night so is somewhat out of my hands. I didn't realize you couldn't drive on them till a few days ago.
Definitely not afraid of rocks and the dents and scratches they bring. I've played on parts of Fordyce, Rubicon and...
Planning a trip at the end of the month to hit up the DV area and was planning on going through Steele Pass.
Doesn't seem like it's going to be open though. Any re-route suggestions?
Current plan is Independence to Reward Mine to Mazarouka Peak to Eureka dunes than out to Big Pine.
From there I...
