My TJ is home, so I took it to the trail

Okay, it’s been home for some time, but I was out of state and then down with a cold. With a brand-new engine, I’m trying to put some easy miles on it, but I needed get to the trailhead and report on conditions.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Saturday, 2-15-25, 11am…

There’s about a three-foot wall at the entrance

Placer was out cleaning up the edges.

But they hadn’t got to the Rubicon trailhead. Placer plow drivers have been consistent with a straight plow, no dip, at the trailhead. That results in no artificial wall. Good job Placer.

It appears someone went in, probably yesterday afternoon. Some fresh snow over those tracks. But the tracks are down to ice. The snow level was near lake level and the area probably got a good deal of rain that froze during the below freezing overnight temps. This will change as to drive in further and go up in elevation.

What a pretty picture.

Practicing what I preach, I didn’t drive in alone.

Stay safe.
