Wow.. what direction is that pic taken from?..

I've been on or around that bump a million times and can't figure out what I'm looking at in that pic.

I find it ironic that a place that was shut down to be "reforested" looks like it's been cleared of most of the trees and has more exposed and unsecured soil than ever.

Any more pics?

No more pics , buddy sent it to me today along with a bunch through out the morning of various spots around 909 . He said he was on the main trail . Picture was taken if you had just came up from the 49'er if you go to the right , over the log, you would be in front of the climbing spot or on your way to ghost hill ..... go to the left of the log and continue on main trail past it .

They have been hauling in dirt from the highway projects along 75 and filling in all the climbs and planting grass for several years now.

That sucks, so I guess the school bus has been hauled off too????

nope it is still there ! got a picture of that from today also but don't have time to download off my phone . From most of the pics I got today and from being there several times this year I can tell you that once you get back past the shoots it is just like it always was.

Does anyone know how long that bus has been there? I probably saw it the first time in 91 or 92... I have heard from a couple of acquaintances that remember it being there in the early 80's...

I was planning on wheeling there in january and still may go to see what is still there. May go in another entrance. I would think that the road needs to be open for visitors to the cemetary.

Can't say we didn't see this coming. It's slowly been taken over for years. Long before BA. I was suprised to never see any growth when it was open. That one gas station that's closed always gave people a hard time regardless of the amount of money they made. I'll sure miss those 5lb stacks of pancakes for breakfast down there!

They have in put a decent looking RV park there at the exit... hookups and all...

Not sure what for, who the hell wants to hang out at exit 49, there's nothing else there.
