This hot weather is melting the snow off quickly. Eagle rock will be clear soon. I propose an Eagle Rock/Baldy/Bull Park run for all vehicle types. We could arrange to have the stockers skip Eagle Rock in lieu of the lower half of Mt. Baldy. Depending on progress, both groups could either head up Baldy, continue to Bull Park, or both.
This scenario is advantageous because of the unpredictable nature of Eagle Rock. It's always challenging, but may be exceptionally rutted and treacherous for stockers after meltoff. The lower Baldy bypass will give nice options for everybody.
Bull Pk is very scenic and not well traveled.

Below, you can see the steep descent from Deer Park down to Seven Lakes road required for this trip. This section might be tough and washed out too.
