Yep, I'll be out there with my group, Tony. Feel free to stop by camp and say hi and get in on some rides. We'll be parked at B/7 on the grid map. Gonna be a warm one out there, but I don't care. Looking forward to it.
There is no law against someone stopping as long as they are NOT a paid or volunteer provider, the general public is covered under the "good Samaritan law" which releases the general public against any liabilities as long as they are acting in the best interest of the injured person. It was enacted to encourage the public to initiate and provide some care until EMS providers arrive..... Now if they (professional EMS providers) assume care and CPR is continued, then they must have permission from a physician to stop.
The Baker route and "back" route both have a steep grade. The back way you have a set of switch backs where you have to be careful of on coming traffic coming blind around the corner. With that being said I've never gone to Dumont the Baker way it probably takes 30 mins longer, but I've driven to Cali plenty of times and that loooooong grade would suck. West on Blue Diamond every time for me!
