Yo, Jamey,

According to my watch, we trudged up that fire road for two hours and
five minutes before we started the descent. Granted, with my bum knee
we weren't running but I'm prettty sure we were moving more than two
miles an hour, meaning the hike up to the drop in was quite possibly
closer to five miles than four. Google map does not lie so I could be
totally wrong about this.

Of course since cars are allowed on the fire/approach road, this is a
natural shuttle ride that will probably become one of he more popular
day outing in So Cal. Next time we'll have to shuttle and take it from
the very top, which looked to add at least another mile to the overall
fandango.

I thought it only took less than 2 hours to get up but anyhow, after
tracing it on googlemaps it said about 4 miles but then again, I'm
pretty sure that doesn't take the uphill into account meaning it's more
than 4 miles. We need someone to bring a GPS system next time! Did
anyone check google earth or google maps to see if my red and blue
trails are on there?

BTW-After we were done riding, I went and refilled my water grabbed a
bite to eat and then drove up to the top where we stopped and parked my
car. Didn't know if my mustang would make it up the fireroad but I had
no problems, minus stopping and removing a few big rocks along the way.
Then I rode the rest of the way to Sierra Peak. Took about an hour in a
half both ways, as it was rolling hills and all fireroad. So it wasn't
too exciting and I probably wouldnt' recommend going any farther than
we did. Although on the other side of the mt. it was all burned and
looking on google earth before the fire it looks like there were some
singletracks along the way, but either I couldn't find them or they
were destroyed in the fire/rain.
