From TonysBlueFJ:
There were 3 Voodoo Blue FJ's on this run. We met at Starbucks in
Downieville at 9am, TonysBlueFJ - hero - Ranger92. This was Ranger92's
first major run, he came here recently from Washington D.C.
The weather was beautiful. We were all wearing light jackets or
sweatshirts, the temp hovering around 53. Hero was our leader, he had
been on this trail before. We started out at 9:30 and went to the
beginning of the trail and aired down.
Their were several other groups up there and we wanted to get a jump on them, and we did. We were stock and the other 2 did have tires. The trail is quite rocky, but that didn't stop us. There are boulders that you do need to navigate around, unless you want to show-boat and go over them, and we wouldn't suggest that.
The lake is beautiful. We ate lunch up at the lake. Coming down seemed harder in spots than going up. Trees in spots are very close together, but the FJ fits through them. We did hit a rain/snow mix coming down. We finished the trail around 1:30pm. I would definately recommend this trail to anyone, however go in a group. There are several gullies to navigate, from the rain. Have fun!!!
