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).

i've updated the OP with everyone's expected arrival day. if you are in the "Unknown" category, please respond with your best guesstimate, so we'll be able to make sure we save space for you at the campsite and make sure to send out a search party if you don't arrive.

What time are you (Steve) leaving Wednesday? I would like to follow someone since this is my first time at HSR. I plan on leaving in the morning so if I can meet up with yous guys somewhere it would be great. Which route are you guys taking?

i think the current plan is to leave around 8:30 AM, but i need to confirm with Cowboy. we'll be taking 120 through Yosemite.

I was also going to take 120 thru Yosemite as well. I was going to take hwy 99 down towards Manteca. I could meet up with you guys near Manteca or wherever it would be easy for you guys if you don't mind. It would take me about 1hr 45min to get to Manteca.

we could meet at the 99 - 120/Yosemite Avenue interchange around 9:30 AM. i think there is a gas station right off the freeway headed east.
