Bigbird,
George (retsenior) is riding Downieville out of Cal Ida campground on 49 5 miles south of Downieville on the north side of 49. 49 goes east west in this area and Cal Ida is really west of Downieville if you want to get technical. I'm heading up tomarrow, Sunday, with Les (fremontguy). We are riding just the day and maybe out of Packer Saddle. But if you get up to Cal Ida camp by around 9am you could hook up with George. He drives a 2001 KTM 520. Nice guy and fun to be with
