Other information
the trail run schedule only serves as a frame for some of the runs we will be doing. many of you have mentioned that fishing, rock climbing and sightseeing will be on the agenda as well. there are plenty of places to do it. there will also be natural hot springs in the area, so don't forget your bathing suits...birthday suits are optional.
Weather
evenings will be colder with lows hitting in the upper 30s and lower 40s. please be prepared! daytime temps are forecasted to track in the mid-70s.
Group photo opp and video
since this will be one of the larger NorCal FJ runs to date, we will try to schedule some time for a group photo. we will most likely do this at Kavanaugh Ridge on Saturday. also, a video will most likely be filmed during the trail runs.
Camping and F&B
i will send everyone camping and food & beverage details via PM. please keep in mind that base camp and the overflow camp are dispersed campgrounds and do not have any facilities or potable water. if you plan to "borrow" someone else's PETT toilet, i would suggest you purchase your own Wag Bags. please keep in mind that we will be near water, so you must pay strict attention to being environmentally conscious when it comes to disposal of human wastes.
More information
don't bring anything more than you will really need. please avoid bringing excess food and remember to secure foodstuffs at all times.
Tread Lightly and Trail Run & Camping Guidelines

* driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is strictly prohibited.

Looking forward to yet another memorable High Sierra run!

So I got the Friday off. I would leave Thursday night. If I finish another important think I have to do at work in the next couple of weeks, I might be able to get Thursday off also.
Is it true we have to drive across Yosemite? Do we have to pay the ticket? I hope not :(

you don't have to go through Yosemite if you don't want to. you can hook up to 395 and take that down. the last weekend of September, Yosemite usually observes National Public Lands Day and offers free toll through the park. so if you don't want to pay the fee, you could always take 395 down on the way in and 120 on the way out. as for tourist traffic, i have yet to encounter it on the way through Yosemite. last year on the way out, we encountered an idiot who did not know about common courtesy, but it was clear sailing once we passed him.

Bz, is it exactly where we plan to be camping ? Or we need to drive further on this road till Laurent Lake?
At this moment we plan to leave Wed night so we will arrive at midnight...I'd prefer to be sure where we have to look for you...

the main campsite roadway is further down the trail going towards the entrance. it is essentially the first spur you will see before you you hit the major switchbacks. i may be leaving around the same time you are. if so, we should caravan together.

It's not that I do not want to go through, but isn't Yosemite 25 bucks, assuming there is no "free toll"?

Right on B. That's how I went last year. But I think you can go through Yos in the wee hours when the gates are not manned.
