A few of us are meeting at the newly renovated Husky Truck stop at the Halston and Hwy 5.

Time - 10:30am

Figured we could see if and where the snow line is on MT LoLo & go explorethe back side.

Then cruisearound north of Paul Lake, up to Hyde lake, or where-ever the fun leads us.

Everyone welcome

Sounds great,my firstride of the season- commuting doesn't count even if I take the long way home. I'm an early riser so any start time is good for me.

Due to snow, I am pretty sure there will be no 'exploring the backside'. Even lower down at the Lolo FSR is very icy still.

I hope to make it out.

no kidding.

followed yur tracks yesterday, looked like you stayed upright, howdja like the snow/mud/goose sh**, did you drop left into vinsulla?, I checked the other two ways (backside badgerlake) found no tracks, I crossed over on the boat to wspring pines for a cheese dog and check the racers, rode home thrua spectacular rainstorm to wash all the mud off, awesome. guessing I was round 1.5hrs back.

So, here's the group, all freshly fueled up with the new Hydrogen gas!



Rest stop No 1



Time to un-layer



Yes, we found snow. Darn stuff was no where to be found except on the roads & trails ... go figure?



Typical no-go situation. Time to turn around





But some patches just had to be beaten.



Look close - there is a Bambi in there some where.



Silentpool lake - between LoLo and Heafley rd ???



We thought we were on the right track - took cold creek road (more like a trail) from bottom of LoLo to here - but then had to humblly snake and slink ourway out to Heffley road. Stay tuned for the full story over Beers some time.

Great rideall!

The Lolo ride was a good one, guys...:clap: I especially enjoyed the area at end of Cold Creek as I have wanted to ride in that area for the past 15 years....and will go back to putt around....but not as far next time as the guy's back yard.

You made it to Silentpool from the Lolo end? Nice - You'll have to show me how. I have tried to get from Silentpool to Lolo with no success.

If you made it from Silentpool to the Heffley road I imagine you had dogs and kids chasing you? :?

Nice pics.

Well kind of, that was the slinking part ... we found out that whole area is in peoples back yards, and that the proper cold creek road is about 2 km to the east of where we were.
