Sore Heel parking area was so crowded this weekend we could barely get out.
Is the original parking area still usable?
If so, when you see the lot is full at sore heel, instead of blocking people in, go to the other lot and hike a little.

climbers will go to the beaches of the lode, have sand in their packs, mud on their shoes, and then freak out over some dog hair? what sort of metro sexuals do you climb with meadows?

Great point Jeff. Parking at that old Sore Heel lot doesn't add that much more of a hike in, its all flat, and it dumps you out right at the new lot.

I like Weber's solution to a full parking lot.

Climb somewhere else today. In a much more polite Weber tone of course.

i personally don't like to have dog hair all over my car, dirt is a lot easier to clean. i think if i carry dogs in the future i'll just make them stay in the back (closing the leash in the rear door works well).

kinda but the dog is on the inside. i had to do this once b/c Deuce rolled in some crap at Funk Rock and a) smelled like... well, shit and b) was soaken wet because we did our best to wash the crap off of him in the stream. i didn't want a wet, poop smelling dog crawling all over my car.

Hehe, that sounds like at least a dozen trips I've had over the last few years. I wouldn't trade the dogs for anything but man they can be a hassle. :)

"poop smelling dog crawl" sounds like a rout name for torrent

so yaeh, im bringing my tractor to come fix the road to the 'load' for you people who dont have FWD. and for those of you who have it but dont know how or want to use it. the reason i posted this coment was because on my way out last weekend, some dumb ass behind me waited till i got far enough up the hill so he could floor it up the road for fun. 'weeeee, so bumpy'!
