Andy, I like your idea...I think I can make my way to Lodestone lake (40km from Princeton?) before 1pm by taking 5:15am ferry on Saturday morning...

Loadestone between 10am — 1pm? I don’t really get it? Not against it necessarily, I just don’t get it.

Ok after a cup of tea…I get it. It takes about 4hrs from Granite Creek to Lodestone (didn’t seem that long) so we will head out for Wells after lunch?

Sounds fine, let’s try to stay in close contact once we leave Lodestone, I don’t want Shawn to be stuck with most of the work because he has been kind enough to prep the signs & pick-up the posts etc from Dave B. and transport it all up to us.

We’ll have a brief drivers meeting at Granite Creek camp & another drivers meeting then at Lodestone.

Cheers

Lodestone Lake for lunch....

Hi Paul,

Lodestone Lake for Brunch / Lunch it is.

It just made sense as everyone is converging together on Saturday morning that we all have a centralized point to meet.
It sounds like we can all be there by 1pm, we then can leave as a group from Lodestone Lake.
Robin, do you feel you can find your way to Lodestone lake? Do you need directions or will you meet the others at Copper /Granite creek?

See you all on the trail...

Andy :D

Hi Andy,

I am off work about 4:30pm and going to do some last minute shopping afterward...if I could not make the ferry tonight, I will take 5:15 ferry tomorrow morning to catch you guys at Lodestone Lake (40 km west of Princeton?) ...or I will stay over at Best Western in Princeton tonight if I made the ferry today and meet you at Granite Creek 10am Saturday morning...(Between Coalmont and Princeton, right?)

How is the road condition between Princeton and Lodestone Lake, secondary road or offroad trail all the way...I recalled that Paul had warned me not travelling alone on the trails to catch up the group with stock RR...

See you soon...

Robin

And don't forget to watch for active coal trucks from Coalmont to just below Lodestone. There is a very active mine up there, and trucks running 7 days a week that like to take up the entire road.

Hi Wes,Grahem

Great photos :D

Sorry to hear about the blown hub. How many times did you have to tug him up?
Like you said before, now we can put faces to all the names.It was good to chat around the fire on Saturday night.
I bet Grahems girls were tired by the time he finally got home!

See you on the trails......

Andy

Wes's pictures are really great, I have put some photos up in our gallery from Derek, not as many as Wes but quite good nonetheless. I will put others up if they are sent to me.
