Shasta Snow Trip '09 Prep. - Bart


Preparing Bart for the SST was more challenging this year since our access road was impassible due to snow and ice from the storms in December...Our vehicles were left down by the plowed road 1/4 - 1/2 mile from our yurt, but finally some warm weather and rain melted the snow enough to make an attempt possible. We cleared the way with a chained up 4-wheel drive truck, did a lot of shoveling in the shady parts, and was able to get Bart up the hill. It took two days to hook up the lights and multiple cameras. As usual, all work was done and wires run without drilling any holes but convenient rust holes were used...

It should be a good trip this year with interesting routes planned and decent weather...Check back in February for a trip report, photos, and more videos! - Gene Cornelius
