I'd rather drag my junk to the river. Hwy 38 over onyx summit (8443 ft) is better for towing a trailer on (up) than 330/18...or go thru lucerne. It was nice for an afternoon weekday romp.

Thats all I got

Beautiful lake, a nice bar/restaurant on the lake, with docks. Great for jeepin this time of year. John Bull trail & gold mountain :thumbup:
