I won't, where is it at?

Almost to the top of Forest Lake, each year it gets trashed while people try to make it through the snow... we reconfigured things a bit last year, so hopefully that will make a difference :D

Okay, I'll look out for it. If it does get trashed give me a heads up and I'll donate some labor to get it repaired.

Guess you forgot that it bit the dust last fall shortly after the rebuild

Did anyone make it to the top? I would suspect that Mary Ellen would be better being that it is predominately east/south facing slope.

Mary Ellen is probably clear up to where it turns back towards the mines (near the Yankee), it usually has snow there into late June... Great area regardless!

On May 14th we got just a little bit past where the road is solid rock on the atv's. The road was still covered about 3 foot deep on the left (hill) side. Below that there were several large piles of snow (3~4ft deep) that we either got around or floated over on the quads

Is Mary ellen toward mineral basin (snowbird trail)? On saturday we made it past the Rock Garden which is GONE.....past that about 1/4 mile past 3-4 switchbacks then the road has a pretty steep legde on the passengers side and gradulaly gets steeper.....we got about half way up that and hit about 3-4 feet of sonw.

Get a map ;)

I'll post a map tomorrow if I remember... It is pretty much exactly West of the Forest Lake trail, though you have to access it from further up the canyon (Dutchman Flats). The Mineral Basin trail starts (or does it? ;)) right up by the Pacific mine area.

Miller Hill is in between MEG and MB, you access it from just above the Pacific Mine (or at Dutchman flats after our repair :cool:)
