Tracy did a great write up on the trail and the overall adventure, but I wanted to address trailer parking in detail. We left our trailer behind at the beginning of each ride and then called a taxi at to drive me back to the rig. Due to a poorly executed street fair that closed highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe we used North Shore Checker for both trips. Both their guys were great, and it all would have been fine if not for the traffic backups from the closure of 50.

The above satellite view of Kingsbury North staging area should give you a good idea of the parking. It was in a residential area and most of the other vehicles there were accessing the OHV trails with their dirtbikes. We had room to park and it was pretty easy to get back out. The below image is the street view from where we parked. You can get an impression of the available spage to turn around.

There is a steep grade on the road in and out of this area, but it was only a 100 yards or so.

In the satellite view, you can see the large area where we parked overnight. Note that there is really only one way in and out of this area, and you do need to back your trailer down the hill and follow the dirt road west to get back onto 50. You can pan to the left on the map above and see how the road connects highway 50 at the "normal" TRT parking area. The median divider on 50 makes it impossible to go back out the way that you came in. You can click the arrows to pan around in the street view picture below:
