FJ Cruisers of Northern California
High Sierra 2010
Date: Wednesday, September 22 - Sunday, September 26
Location: Eastern Sierra
Level: All
Comms: CB - 31, FRS/GPRS - 7-31, HAM 147.52 simplex no tone
Cell signal: Available on the trail when in direct line of sight with Mammoth Lakes, which pretty much means the beginning of the trail to around the aspen grove before the turnoff to the campsite.
Weather: highs in the mid-70s, lows in the low-30s overnight.
Campsite: dispersed camping (no showers, no toilets), please bring wood if you can!
Official trail runs:
Friday - Mazourka Canyon/The Narrows and Thereabouts
Saturday - Kavanaugh Ridge/Bodie Ghost Town/Mono Craters exploration
Alternate "rogue" runs will be most likely scheduled and proposed.
National Public Lands Day:
Free admission to Devil's Postpile National Monument and Mono Lake
Volunteer opportunity: TBD on Saturday AM
this is the official thread for the annual High Sierra run. despite having considered moving to an alternating base camp/expedition style run, we'll stick with the base camp idea this year. we'll establish base camp on Laurel Lakes trail again.
395 to Trail Head: http://bit.ly/cwHI0p
Approximately 1.5 miles of dirt road once you get off 395 at Sherwin Creek Road
the High Sierra run, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the format, is part trail run, part vacation. we will only establish 2-3 "official" trail runs and the rest of the activities are planned impromptu or on-your-own. last year, several folks went fishing, kayaking and sightseeing. more details on the planned runs will be outlined in the coming weeks, but will most likely include Coyote Flat, Mono Craters and yearly favorite, Kavanaugh Ridge.
also, i am looking into a possible volunteer opportunity for National Public Lands Day on Saturday, the 25th. i will most likely propose something in the nearby Mammoth area...perhaps a trail clean-up. for those of you who are unfamiliar with National Public Lands Day, it is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to help sure-up and clean-up our public lands. it also allows free admission to most national parks and monuments (Yosemite, Devil's Postpile and Mono Lake included).

(2) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that
occurred within three years of a prior offense resulting in a

operate a motor vehicle shall be suspended by the Department of Motor
Vehicles pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 13355.
(3) Upon a conviction under this subdivision of an offense that

You will be fine it gets bad when you are in excess of 98 any time you get writen for anything >98 mph the fine goes over $1,000 an there is a mandatory suspension of your license for one month take traffic school online it's great takes about 1 1/2 hours to complete. I have been there got pulled over after the cop chased me and could not catch up for 40 miles doing 140 mph down the grape vine I fought it and won but you should not have to do all that

Depends on the judge, here in Marin County if you get a ticket over 15mph of posted speed limit your license can be suspended. Almost 30 mph over is bad, good luck with that John.

Well I figured out what was wrong with my FJ that was causing it to pop and clank lower control arm bushings were dead and the ball joints were drying out so I took it to my buddy at Toyota and they are covering it under warranty so ...freebie... And I also ordered a demello three loop front bumper today so overall a good day for my FJ. Now I will have it all for SNT can't wait

sonof40, Steve this is a long shot, next year we'll set off on a little mini expedition to find your lost FRS talkie up at the lake. If you lost it good enough, maybe it's still there unless a hungry bear finds it, crunch! gulp!

i actually went looking for it on the day Scout, MoabFJ and i visited the lake. i tried to get to where i thought he had dropped it, but got to the point where i would've needed some waders to get to it. i got a healthy dose of mud on my feet though.

I'm sure its still there. Probably unhooked itself when I was climbing. Thanks for the thought. I had a similar one. And thanks Steve for trying!
ps I just got home from the Rubicon River. Pretty fruitful fishing.
