Event Description

FFA- fireworks from above 2014

Hello friends I know its early but I like to give as much time as possible for everyone to get a chance to enjoy this run with us in 2014.

Event schedule:

Thursday-

Meet at the park and ride on 41 and 145 in Madera at 12 noon. (let me know if you are going to meet us so we don't leave you behind) we will drive up and set up camp...

Friday:

Play/fishing day 1 group will head into strawberry lake and another will head into courtwright res. [Friday pending on worrier run info I will need guides for the two runs if I confirm the wounded warrior run]

Strawberry lake is an advanced trail a lot of tight squeezes and boulders to climb on. I don't recommend a stock hight fj to do this trail unless you have under armor and slidders.

Courtwright is pretty easy with a lot of tight turns and some 3 wheel action stock rigs will have fun running this trail.

Im planning on doing another bbq dinner after everyone gets back to camp (still debating)

Saturday-

We leave camp around noon to head up bald mountain there are a few hard spots but stock rigs can make it no problem. we will have dinner on the top of the world overlooking the valley and shaver lake. When the sun goes down we watch the fireworks over shaver then head down the trail at night back to camp.

Sunday-

Camp clean up and tear down make sure the sight has no trash and get packed up to go home.

REMEMBER BRING YOUR CAMERAS AND TAKE VIDEO I MAY USE IT IN THE TRIP VIDEO....

Comment by Drew Hutchinson on June 15, 2014 at 11:50am: That is kind of what I figured, thanks for the info. I used to spend weeks at very remote surf sites in Southern Baja, so I am well acquainted with outdoor bathrooms! Just not sure how much this one can tolerate . . .

Comment by MLM_FJ08 on June 15, 2014 at 11:39am: There are most certainly other females going :-) Theres a couple female drivers and a few of the guys bring along their wonderful wives and girlfriends. However, there are no bathrooms near our campsite or up on Bald. There are public bathrooms in and near Shaver, but its quiet a driver from where we camp off Rock Creek Road. There might be someone that brings a bathroom-like setup that they let the women use, but I can't remember who that would be. If she throws together a small bag with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, a small shovel, and whatever bathroom stuff she needs, there is a lot of space for her to take a short "nature hike" when she needs to near camp. My suggestion for Bald is go before we leave because there's no a whole lot of cover up on the mountain top. I hope that helps. You might get a different perspective from one of the guys whos wife goes along, such as Mr. and Mrs. crawlinrollins :-)

Comment by Drew Hutchinson on June 15, 2014 at 11:12am: My new GF wants to know if there are bathrooms and other females going along! This is a first camping trip together so it could be a make or break.

I am sad to announce that the coleman road trip bar b que will not available this year.
For those of you at Pismo this year you will remember that we had issues with the grill spewing propane from the front knobs.
I am thankful no one was engulfed in flames.
I have not been able to come up with a reasonable fix at this time. : (
I am looking into a portable replacement at this time. It will most likely be much smaller though.
I will still be making chilly bean surprise though. : )
Please plan accordingly.
And now a moment of silence. :,(
