Okay, meeting spot sucks for us without GPS. So where are you going to meet at, Kevin.

im heading out from my house but probably picking up a passenger from the walmart parking lot on bear valley at 9:45ish does that work for you? the link next to the courds has a sat image of the area. its the only staging area along the road up there on the long flat if i remeber right

watch the post for updates. as of today it looks like the snow amounts will be reasonable for a attack on dishpan/John bull. that will change the meeting spot. final plans to be ironed out friday night. kevin im gonna pm you my cell number since the actual trails are pending snow fall.

this post was a copy paste from another forum, but coral canyon is too far for me when i still havnt seen everything in my back yard. TTORA is postponing there CC run to next weekend.

im watching the weather closely and it keeps changing. reports are saying 12" at 4000 ft on friday night - saturday. does anyone know how that will translate on dishpan?? just trying to guess the best i can because it drasticly changes the starting point for saturday morning
its sure to be fun though!!

If the snow level gets to 4000 feet Dishpan will have snow. It is on the North slope for the most part so the snow will stay longer. But you're right about the forcast; Dallas Rains gets paid to be wrong 99% of the time. I need a job like that!

Dallas Rains couldn't forcast the pervailing weather!!
