I just figured I would spark up some intrest..... If you just want to post how much KM sucks and all that other shizz well go blow a monkey...

I figure the usual suspects are thinking about a trip soon too so let's post up and get a date (or two) goin..... Thank you...

when does it open? june/july?

Ok then Jimmy, here you go,KM sucks!

Have fun in the whoops.......July 4-7 is a good time.

Missed it he last two years.

Gotta make it this year and ride.
Now the question is when?

Bring sardines and leave my monkeys out of it, it blows.
Trail work next wkend at a better place, opening soon!
Get in with Ranger Bob and KM will be open by Memorial Day

I thought you were the jungle monkey.

Trail work next weekend? What are you up to now Jungle?

I meant the East side, not west homie. Braaaap.
New old trails opening soon!

I know I know it's got whoops.... But there are some fun trails it ain't all bad....

7-7 thru 7-10 will work

On a normal year the trails open for memorial weekend. Best is to call Cannell Ranger station for current status just prior to a trip up there: 760-376-3781. They used to be willing to patch you up to Blackrock but last year no one was manning the phones, the info-station was closed. I've forgotten the area manager's name up there.

No big storms this year so expect it to open on time. 2011 it didn't open 'till fouth of July. Mid-June we got to KM store on a road ride over Sherman Pass and had to turn back. They said there were 800 trees knocked down and they had been clearing for months. I had never heard of conditions like that up there. We've been riding the area every year since it opened after the huge Manter Fire of 2000. It was closed for 2 years.

For any interested, Chris Horgan of SOS might put you in touch with the trail team boss and you could get some early rides in scouting trails for clearing and maintenance. They ride them all before they are open to the public. With funding cut backs that seems to be increasingly more difficult for them to do. They do rely on volunteers where possible.

Chris has his trail days in the Piutes coming up too.

Gee, gotta get those damn fork seals fixed on the yammer.

I've done trail maintenance up there before, I was on ranger Bobs team. He worked us like cheap whores on a Friday night. I think he was paid per tree cut.

good thing it wasn't a cheap whore on a Saturday night. cuz I'd be out.

KM sucks. Whooped out or rocky crap with dust all day long. Even the jeep trails are crap. Plus it's a long ass drive and there are no services. Lord knows how far it is to the nearest Starbucks.









I'll be there from 7-1 to 7-7 at Troy Meadow

Blew your wad Friday?

Ok fuck KM. where we goin' then?? Lets pm each other if we dont want to give away the good stuff.... Just include me you sons a bitches..
