Out of curiosity, what tube bender are you using? 35 inch cooper stt's Didnt want to loose that much bed space, wanted to keep it full bodied mj, and its a fad to bob beds (kinda like huge stinger bumpers). J2squared, air over hydro, using bend tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard it was closed. Willy Its closed most of the year (Its average open time is about 2 months per year!). It opens when the snow melts. Changes every year depending on snow level and accumulation. Here is a good site for info...

(expected to open mid-july this year) http://www.hi-landers.com/BLT/BLT.html According to the El Dorado National Forest and other reports I have read it is closed until further notice, along with several other routes. Here is the full list. Barrett Lake is on the second page, route 11N26F. I haven't seen a recent update. Barrett Lake is on our list this summer too. :fs1: Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Ive seen that report as well as some talk on Pirate. The site I gave link to includes a # at bottom of page you can call.
