Went with my friend dan today. Did the #33 loop, about 20-25 miles. Conditions were perfect, very little dust, with plenty of mud holes to keep it interesting. We ran across a dumped, and stripped toyota 4runner, it looks like it was stolen from a used car dealer in reno. It was left on a gravel bar in the middle of the middle fork of the cosumnes river. I wrote the serial # down and took the temp. nevada tag off it so i can see what i can do to get it towed out of there. It's way back in there though, and would be interesting to watch a tow truck get back in there.

 

it's interesting reading about pipi i have been up in that area many times over the past 15 years i haven't had my grizzly with me
my sister lives in jackson and i have deer hunted many times near pipi in the cat creek area my parents lived in volcano at one time
that toyota must stick out like a sore thumb hope you can get it moved
do you think you could email me a map of the area you guy's rode i wanna take my grizz up this summer
i would greatly appreciate it if you have a map and the time thanks ...Ed... grizzlytime@msn.com

 

Hey Ed, Your best bet is to stop at the ranger station in pioneer, or pine grove, i always get them mixed up. It's the last town as you go up 88. These people are the best, they have free maps and plenty of advice. I walked out of there with a whole fist full of maps, all highlited with some great trips that i can't wait to try. I don't think i've seen tax dollars better spent, they really impressed me with their knowledge and courtesy. Pipi couldn't be any easier to find, you take omo ranch road off of 88, you can only turn left. Go about a mile, you'll see north south road, take that. Go down the hill couple of miles and you'll run into the first launch point. look for the sign for trail 33 take that in either direction and you'll do about a 20 mile loop. There are plenty of other trails to ride also.
