here is some more helpful info regarding camping and wheeling:
Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Bring what you would normally bring camping. Tent, sleeping bags, etc. For driving, bring whatever recovery equipment you have (standard practice). If you have any additional spare parts, it's always a nice-to-have for the trails.
Q: What's the toilet situation?
A: There are two pit toilets available at the campgrounds. If you don't like to use pit toilets, you are more than welcome to bring your own PETT (environmental toilet). We do not recommend digging around the campgrounds.
Q: What is the food & beverage situation?
A: It is bring your own. However, you are encouraged to team up with others on some meals to prevent wasted foodstuffs and to help cut down on budget. Feel free to use this discussion thread to discuss food management or PM is good as well.
Q: Should I bring firewood? Are fires allowed? Are fire permits needed?
A: Yes, yes and yes. Firewood is also available at the Bear Valley Resort, but is always a little pricier. As of today, fires in fire rings are still allowed. We haven't had any fire restrictions in Bear Valley the previous years, so let's hope that remains the same this year. We will have one or two fire permits with us, so that should be good enough. However, having a fire permit is always recommended because you just never know when you'll want to head out camping. You can fax in your information for a campfire permit. Here is the link to access the .pdf California Campfire Permit request.
Q: Is there cellular signal at the campsite?
A: No. The nearest signal is at Bear Valley Resort up the road.
Q: Is there a campsite fee?
A: No. It is dispersed/undeveloped camping, so there is no fee. If, by some long shot, we need to move to a developed campground, then you will be responsible for paying fees onsite.
NorCal FJ Code of Conduct is in effect on this run.
please feel free to ask any questions (via this thread or via PM) that were not covered here.

I just joined this site and saw this run. I came thru Slick Rock last Aug. for the 1st time with my friend Kevin..and we went back in march and ripped it up on our snowmobile's..It was beautiful...it was a full moon and snowing...This would be the last time I ride with Kevin, as he was killed falling off the back side of a cliff that evening...Please put him in your thought's on this run...and have a safe time. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year..but if you have this event next year I will be there putting a plaque up there for him.. Godspeed Kevin!!

Alright, we are in. Was just there this past weekend, but did not do the whole trail being the only car there and pulling the trailer may have been a little risky without guydance and support :o) Will need to know where to meet on Friday night?

I was planning on doing some sort of wheeling this same weekend for a friends birthday. I will most likely be able to jump in Friday night. Where is everyone camping? Last year I missed everyone because I thought I was trying to catch up to you guys Saturday morning and instead it turns out I started too early. I'd love to stick with the group and have a chance to hang out a little more if possible this year.

So how intense is this trail and by that I mean am I gonna hurt my beautiful voodoo blue paint job. Cause that entry pic in the photo section looks really tight. And good looking on the camping location thing I would have decided to go and not known where anyone was and I don't have a cb so no good
