Hi BNB, I like driving a little faster than some and really appreciate it when folks use the turn outs on 38 since there are not many places to pass, especially down bound. I politely ask with a headlight flash and thank them with a flasher on the hazards. But if I see a train of cars I just give up and resign that it's going to be a slow ride.
bullet BootsNBridles on Monday 12 January 2026 - 18:56:05
Baldwin- funny how everyone becomes the nanny when they drive the mtn! Just pull over and let people drive the speed they are comfortable with- or join the CHP! No one has a chance yesterday- I'm guessing at least half of the cars were visitors and content to drive slowly so we just settled back and did likewise. 😉

What a difference a day makes. Today i went down 38. Right about south fork caught up to the exodus. I was car number 14 in line. I stayed car 14 until Bryant! By that time there were at least 20 (or more) of us going 25mph. Where is CHP when you need them?

bullet Airport Razz on Sunday 11 January 2026 - 10:27:39
I believe technically frost line 18". Water lines should be down 2-3ft min depending on material and location. In years past while replacing main water line, freeze line around 12" and the backhoe was picking up.the entire yard in one piece. Small digging hammer from Twin Bear 👍
bullet Trail Rider on Sunday 11 January 2026 - 09:28:52
Mountainart, my husband said when he worked for BBC CSD in the 80s, they buried all of their water lines 4 ft down. He doesn't recall the the historical freeze depth.
bullet mountainart on Sunday 11 January 2026 - 09:18:03
does anyone know how many inches deep the frozen layer of ground has ever historically been? Where we are building in south bbc behind the airport, the ground is solid frozen down about 3 inches. literally need a jackhammer to go through top ice, almost as hard as a cconcrete driveway....whew!!!
bullet BootsNBridles on Sunday 11 January 2026 - 08:24:37
Came up 38 late evening. Maybe 8 cars on the road total to to bottom. So nice. Only incident was something on the steep winding part just below south fork. Tow truck, CHP, couple of vehicles. Quick glance made me think either one of the vehicles over corrected and ended up in the large rocks at the side of the road or they avoided the other vehicle and ended up there. Rocks were 1-2 ft diameter. Ouchie for the vehicles!
