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.

Talked to Tater today and he confirmed after stopping at Ranger station that fires are allowed where we will be camping. If you can, bring fire wood with you. Also if you are going up in the afternoon stop by the Ranger station and get a fire permit.

Well I'm back and still trying to catch up on my sleep. Thanks to everyone for your help. I tried to get a hold of someone by radio on the way out. It just didn't make sense to spend an hour setting up camp in the rain. I had a ton of fun despite the rain and everything else short of a locust invasion. It was great to see everyone in their FJs and meet new people. I had a few great conversations in the down time, and look forward to having more time to just hang out and watch on the next run. It was a marathon to make it up and onto the trail after 2 hours sleep and I really appreciate everyone's patience with the rolled jeep :-) He had a great time and, despite his ribbing to the contrary post roll, really enjoyed the new friends, company and challenge of tooling around in a group of Toyotas. We managed to get some great video and photos and I will post up ASAP.

Here is a link to some raw footage Matt filmed. He's not a member so he posted to You Tube. A long pause between groups in the middle but lots of fun going down!
