I view these things as suggestions, just like those metal things with locks on them. I realize everyone has a different pain tolerance for things like this. I am still game to ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 31, 2021 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ive never heard of an adventure motorcyclist starting a forest fire. I hear dirt bikes without spark arrestors riding off trail can do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneKenobi Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Had to cancel my Tahoe family vacation next week due to the fires and was holding out hope I'd still get to get away and do this ride.

I put tracks to come into Bodie from the old railroad from Aurora. Not sure if it is doable on big bikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a way to view GPX without a GPS or GPS Software...they're made specifically for GPSs. Otherwise it looks something like this...which isn't very useful since it's got lots of overlays that need to be toggled or selected based on what you want to view. What app are you viewing this in.. I loaded the files in Gaia and it all looks washed out, this is very nice and clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And keep in mind it’s NATIONAL forest only So of the easy and intermediate tracks you posted just above (B and C) are there any that do not go through the now closed areas ? I have no desire to get a $5k fine, and I wouldn't be surprised if the rangers are going to be pretty hard core about it, this is a pretty drastic closure and I cant see them being lenient, I may be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imported the tracks Erik posted earlier into basecamp and your map is a lot nicer than what I see, you have a lot more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
