My plan is to go for the day on Saturday. This has been my plan several years running, but the weather has been bad every year. Right now it looks like I might just make it for the first time.
My plan is to go up (from Reno) Friday afternoon. Will stay thru Sunday afternoon. Weather has been really iffy but the forecast indicates a great weekend. The weather two years ago was really bad. Last year was good during the first part of the weekend.
I plan on heading out from Smith valley on Sat am and spend the night (if I find a room)! Weather does look better, my first time also. Looks like fun!
