......[geezer voice ON]...Ripplebrook? RIPPLEBROOK!!!
40+ years ago I worked for the USFS up there, this is a feature I don't recall...but it always was a nice drive...sometimes going to work & sometimes coming back home...[/geezer voice]
Tires? I would. It gets rough.Do you need all-terrain tires to get up there?
Never been, but I also thought a lot of the pits up there were active operations with job corpse and ODF.
Still there? They closed the ranger station?!?!?!Tires? I would. It gets rough.
It will probably be impassable in a week or 2.
I go on weekends - but never saw any signs of activity or signage.
A couple times I went mid-week and saw too many log trucks using a few of the roads there.
Asked a couple years ago at the Ranger station when it was still there - they said just to abide by forest rules and i should be good to go.
Still there? They closed the ranger station?!?!?!
I'll have to check it out next time I'm up there, thanks for the tip. Always figured it was active, even if nobody was up there.
I thought that was the JC residency... "lifer city"?Is 'Lifer City' still active? A small cluster of residences a few hundred yards NE of the old Ranger Station....there also was a rather large Job Corps site about 1/2 mile to the NW on different spur.
Wow crickets...this is kind of a good thing, I can't believe how good this pit is but no one wants to drive this far or talk about it?!
FYI: google earth clearly shows new power lines, I don't think long distance is possible anymore in that long stretch. So 150 max it is
The power line stretch is an uphill grade with Peavine across the ridge.I have been to this one twice this year, best spot within 90 min of the city hands down...but has anyone actually shot long range on that clearing? How do you do that safely with roads on both ends of the stretch?
