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
* as always, Tread Lightly rules are in full effect. do not blaze your own trails and be mindful of the wildlife that make the High Sierra their home. always exhibit good trail etiquette.
* driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is strictly prohibited.

Looking forward to yet another memorable High Sierra run!

So...any rules out there about dogs? Now that I have a trail pup, I'll need to bring him with me if there is no issue with it. He's a great trail dog - just had our first trip over the weekend and he's great.
If I am able to make the trip, not sure whether I'll head up on Weds or Thurs, but I'll head up 395. Cowboy's Mom is going to be in the Sacramento area that same weekend, so we'll need to visit with her for part of the time - just not sure when her travel dates are. Anyway - still hoping to be there with ya's!

More than a few dogs have been known to come on the runs and we've never had any problems.
As long as they don't uncontrollably bite or bark all night it's all good.
Hope to see ya there.

buy the cheapest jar of peanut butter. I heard it's the driest and that will keep them quit.

Unfortunately, the cheapest peanut butter has the most corn syrup and sugar :(.
We buy the yucky no salt, no sugar peanut butter for Abbey. Yes, she's very spoiled.
Freeze some peanut butter in a kong before you give it to them. Keeps them busy for a while! That or low-fat cottage cheese, frozen in a kong. We've always got a few in our freezer. Yes, she's very spoiled. ;)

So far, Ozzie does not seem to be taking to the Kong. :( Got the organic peanut butter and some peanut butter biscuits and stuffed 'em in there. He'll play with it for a little bit, but not for long. Maybe he's just too young yet? The puppy teeth/biting thing is tearing the hell out of my hands and arms! LOL...
