I'm about 80% sure I could meet up with you guys on the 21st in Bodie. My parents live near Topaz Lake, NV (about 90min up 395) so I could drop the kiddos off there Friday evening and come down to Bodie early Sat morning.

3day weekend?

Which way is everyone going? HWY 120 and 108 may still be closed by then. You could go up HWY 50 but that would take longer from the Bay Area.

If Sonora and Tioga are both closed then I'm out :-)

88 to 89 through Makrleville to 395. Longer drive mileage wise but 88 is a much quicker drive so time wise it probably isn't too much worse.

Just checked the road conditions on Sonora, Tioga Pass and both are closed until May. They didn't list any dates in May but with the weird weather we've been having, I would have to guess late May?

HWY 88 sounds good! I might even have to make a stop at Jackson Rancheria to do some gambling.

For those who want to go to Bodie, are we good for the weekend of the 20th? or should we choose a different date? Also, Where is everyone located? I'm in Vacaville. Trying to get an idea of how many people want to go and locations we should meet at

 

[Mike G]

May 20th sounds good. I'm San Jose. Are you planning on taking HWY 88?

Seriously going to try and be there, any idea on the snow pack? Bodie sits at 8300' might be a bit of snow left. Did I miss info on a meet up? I plan to go 50 over the top then down 395, I appreciate any info .
