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.

This is a fun trail. Found it by accident a long time...well awhile back. Was thinking about going up before this got posted, and then thought "cool, an FJ run". But, saw how it was rated (moderate-advanced), and read the reveiw. I only considered it a bit above moderate since I ran it in an 87 stock runner (did have 31" BFG's) many times. The only tough part was the waterfall climb near the end. Had more trouble on 3 sections at Long Canyon then here. So, went outside to compare my 86 toy with the FJ (both 31" tires) - the FJ's wider by 6" (for the fun in the granite valley) & has a bit less ground clearence. No problem, my lift kit showed up the Friday I left for AllCal. I'll just get it installed, some new tires, then I'm in!! But Noooo! Was informed we're attending a wedding that weekend - dammit! Oh well.
