April 5, 2011 and 7th - Snowshoeing & Biking

This week, a four man Geezer advance party took an early snowshoe adventure to Loon Lake to check on conditions for the main party who were planning to snowshoe on our usual Thursday. I gather from Sherm's report that there was a tremendous amount of snow and conditions were quite dangerous. Sherm reports some 14 ft of snow which covered many smaller trees. Picture 6 shows Sherm dropping into his waist and he would have had a lot of trouble getting out on his own. This hole was a buried 12 ft pine tree. There was no clue it was there. Was he surprised!

Pictures 7 and 8 shows a 14+ ft cavern. If you fall in there you wouldn't be out till the spring thaw. Picture 10 shows the vent stacks on the outhouse. Man that is a lot of snow.

So on Thursday, ten Geezers showed up at the Sierra College Blvd parking lot for a short (12 mile round trip) bike ride to old town Roseville with a stop at In-and-Out Burger on the way back. Sorry, no photos of this lovely bike trail.
