FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Barney Riley - Dear Valley - Strawberry July 10, 11 , 12

I'm putting together a run July 10, 11, 12. The itinerary is to do Barney-Riley friday, deer valley saturday and finish up the weekend with the Strawberry trail on Sunday. I haven't done any of these trails so I hope someone who has done them (and/or who has a gps) is interested in coming along. A few people I have talked to are interested in day trips, so as in other runs - meet up with us when you can! Plans for campgrounds and rendezvous points/times to come.

as an FYI, i would not bring any more food than you need. leaving food out and attracting bears is not a wise idea.

I agree, I've had bears visit during the night all along the sierras. Do not bring more food than you need for your group. Having rope and bags to tree your food is always a good idea.

I've seen lil' black bears rip doors off cars. :)
