Thinking about Knoxville next weekend weather depending. Bot sure if they close if raining or recently has rained... maybe one of you knows?
Let me know, I’m having eye surgery on Wednesday so I’m off for a week. So depending on my condition I’m down

I wouldn’t bother with Knoxville this time of year, unless you love mud, are willing to spend hour washing the crud out of your undercarriage and have a large group going where everyone is willing to aid in recovery….

The terrain, soil compound and remoteness make this place a no go in my book. And I have property up there next to it. Also, the brass trash is astounding…

Where is the best place to go for snow from the Bay Area? Is Lake Tahoe the only option? Or is there somewhere close where kids can play in the snow?

Diablo or Hamilton sometimes accumulate enough to play in, but usually only for the day or two after a storm

Any alternatives that are in the Bay Area?

I don’t really consider Lake County part of the Bay Area. Holister is just as much of a mud hole as is Knoxville but I don’t consider San Benito county in the Bay Area either. Enough snark. Sorry.

During this time of year I head south for any wheeling trips. So, my recommendations don’t really fit. I was trying to offer words of caution. Knoxville mud can suck a heavy truck in and not let go without serious recovery efforts.

Its about an hour closer but you could head up towards the Stanilaus Forest, I used to live in Sonora and I would see people head up to Pinecrest and Long Barn.

Thanks for the suggestion. The plan is to take kids to Pinecrest tomorrow. If it's snowing, it would be their first time seeing snowfall.

You’ll have fun they have places to play in the snow and long barn used to have ice skating, I’m not sure if they still have it. The chicken ranch casino also used to have a drive in so there’s all sorts of things to do up there
