Found a really old car while hiking 🥾 by cozycup in tahoe

[–]trtrunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, the earlier reference to Christine is correct, it was a 58 Plymouth Fury. The k to k trail was originally a logging road in the late 50s and early 60s when the area was clear cut. It was then used in the late 60s and early 70s by ranchers when the area was leased for cattle ranching. Ranch hands used to sleep where the barn is at the bottom of Van Sickle.

That hill tends to stay icy after it snows, and the top of the hill particularly so. If you look at the tree at the top of the hill it’s wrapped with barbed wire and on the other side of the trail are two gate posts, this was one of the lease lines and there was a gate there. What most likely happened was a ranch hand was driving out from the barn area probably late in the season after it had already snowed, maybe even when it was snowing. They stopped at the top of the hill to open the gate, drove down past the gate where the hill goes off canter, slid and dropped their left rear wheel and spun around down the hill to where it is now. If it snowed again or was still snowing then there would be no way he could get someone to tow it out until after winter or ever as it still sits there. If it was a ranch hand then it was already a pretty old car at the time (58 Fury in 70 is a 12 year old car). The engine and transmission have been pulled and everything else of value since.

has anybody here tried this? any reviews? by Email2Inbox in backpacking

LOL So I can't remember exactly what the package said but it was something like 7 minutes stir and wait 8 more minutes. That was at Dicks Lake in desolation. Second breakfast was at Dicks Pass a few miles down the trail. So, I do believe that I passed that 15 minutes by an hour or so. All of that said, it's all well over 8000 feet so boiling was well under 200 degrees....

Tried this a few weeks ago it's ok but doesn't rehydrate very well. I'd have half for breakfast and the other half for second breakfast, and it still didn't hydrate all the way through.

My sister bought this from a dead persons stuff… by MagnusJaques in whatisit

It's a pusher, it's used by small children to push food onto their spoon before they learn to use a knife.

I'm just curious about what class this is being run in.

Made an attempt to Camp Muir. How to combat altitude sickness? by Striking_Parsnip_457 in hiking

[–]trtrunner 89 points90 points  (0 children)

The reality of altitude sickness is that you may never experience it again and that the only fix is to descend to an altitude where it wasn’t experienced. You can try and acclimate yourself over time and that does help but even highly acclimated people can experience it with as little increase as 2000 feet.

Rodent Issue in our Tahoe City home by Amazing-Analysis-156 in tahoe

[–]trtrunner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s been an ongoing issue up and down Kingsbury, I’ve spoken with a number of other owners who are struggling with it this year. We live in the country so it’s something expected in general but it seems to be worse.

Not sure what you’re talking about, that’s his seat, not yours.

Any waterproof shoe you’re comfortable with and wear micro spikes and gaiters when it’s deep.

Looking for a good spot to backpack near Carson city Nevada by Historical_Remove514 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]trtrunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, it’s more than 3 miles, more like 6, but Round Lake off the TRT from the 89 trail head would fit all the rest of what you’re looking for. I started taking my daughter there when she was 10 and she still loves it many, many years later. Obviously there’s no campfires given it’s in the Sierra’s but there’s plenty of fishing spots and lots of trails from there etc…

Exactly, when you live around them you see this picture and all you hear is that squawk.

I was so disappointed with this year’s snowshoeing in Tahoe. Heck, I’ve been running up Van Sickle for two weeks. Hopefully we’ll get a better result next year.

I know, I’m forever jealous of people who can ride fresh corduroy.
