But you can't get into the damned place. All the restaurants are on the main drag. Horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture is from last year's GAP trip. 2Tall, Paul, Danny, and myself went. Can you enlighten me on what tthe name of this place is? I tried googling but received no results. I swear @whaler and I stopped at this place. I think they were doing white water rafting drills. Maybe it was a different place though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh_sprint Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just drew this up. It looks similar to a ride @2talltim and @Casper and I did a few year ago without stopping at NOC.

Think @Isaac's Papa sent me the route. Anyway, it was about a 12hr day in all.....would've been back to Fontana quicker but I had to live up to my "wrong turn" nickname, so there were a few unexpected detours.....and maybe several miles of paved goat path ( ie beat-to-shit asphalt sidewalk ) that was what we though to be JoyceKilmer.....uh, IT WAS NOT. Recently got my new Zumo, so I'm hoping to lose my nickname soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
