Back by popular demand.......

23-25 April 2004 looks like a pretty good weekend for our :worship: pilgrimage to Elkins Flat.

The reason I choose this weekend is because on Sunday 17 April there is a D36 enduro. The CC guys are on break.... so lets breakout for a good weekend of riding....

If you would like to get trail maps of the Elkins Flat and Gold Note / Pipi ridng area give the Amador Ranger District office a call and they will mail you the maps.

Get the skinny here!

Sounds fun. I'm up for some good long rides, and I remeber how nice Elkins was that time of year. I'll keep checking in as the weekend gets closer. I'm sure happykelly & aggrojim will be in, too.

I would like to join the ride as well. (as long as I don't damage myself at the Sawmill Enduro!) I ride Elkins about 6 or 7 times a year and know it well. Anyone coming up 50 and accessing Elkins from the Placerville area and needs directions, I can meet them somewheres and lead the way. Lots of ways to get on the wrong path if the approach is from the North.

Rick,
Do you still park and camp in the same place as before? It's been 2 years since I've been there. I may come with some friends with a trailer.
