WAMP Transportation thread Aug 8th,2009 (New Thread)

Ok I just confirmed with Jay from WAMP that they need rigs for the last weekend of WAMP Sat Aug 8th. I did this the extraction run last year and we need to be at the main staging area no later then 8am in the morning so we can get into the camp by 9:30-10am for load and then the drive out. expect to be done with the campers by 1pm, at that time we can decide to run the trail there or another one in the area.

From the first thread I'm taking the interested list.

We will be limiting this event to 15 rigs total. Those that have already confirmed and those that signed up on the first thread get priority, anyone beyond the first 15 will be on a standby. Only reason we are limiting is that we don't want to overload the trail with folks.

1. OPG (+2 and gear)
2. PotatoMutato (3 + gear)
3. DHeigher (3 +Gear)
4. EstySalinas (2 + gear) with dog
5. Mrs Bozly (2 + gear)
6. Bigfish (2+ gear)
7. Marauder713 (2 + gear)
8. PBn'Fj (3 +Gear)
9. Bob (3 +Gear)
10. Boss73 (3 +Gear) and trailer for taters stuff.
11.

Please respond to this thread with how many people you can carry plus their gear also if you plan on bring a dog please indicate that, and I will update this list with Jay from WAMP with our numbers Also let us know when your heading up to the area so we can know who's getting there when.

I will be there Friday evening.
Oh yeah I forgot to say that I will be solo with trailer (if needed )
For the moment put in me in as:

Taken: 1 Driver + Passenger + Dog
Available: 3 Open Seats + Gearspace on ARB Rack.

There was some comment I read somewhere about dogs...not sure if it is a big deal or not. Let me know if they are not allowed and I can figure something else out.
generally people that have dogs just transport gear and /or councilors rather then campers. It's fine to bring the dog just be aware.
Ok cool as long as I can still go and help out.
it's all good, there will always be a need either moving people or move gear, all help is needed.
Man 10 on the list with 8 confirmed !! This is going to be fun again this year !!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah can we have fires this year ?? Since I have the room I am going to bring some fire wood so we don't freeze this time... hehe My neighbor has a bunch of redwood pieces that have been laying around for a long time that he says I can have so i will chop them up this weekend and load them up. That is of course if we can have a fire...

Boss
Nevada City—Judie Tartaglia, Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Tahoe National Forest announces that fire restrictions will go into effect beginning July 28, Tuesday. "Recent hot, dry, and windy weather has increased fire danger," said Tartaglia. "Many of our fire indices show that we are above historic fire conditions for this time of year and thus the need for fire restrictions. Abandoned campfires are the primary source of human-caused fires in the Tahoe National Forest. Please do your part by fully extinguishing a fire before you leave your campsite," concluded Tartaglia.

Under these restrictions:

Campfires and charcoal barbeques are only permitted in designated campgrounds and other recreation sites (in the metal rings/grills provided).
Smoking is only permitted in an enclosed vehicle, building, developed recreation site or in a 3-foot area cleared of all flammable material.
Internal combustion engines including OHVs can only be operated on roads or trails except for the Prosser Pit Off-Highway Vehicle Area.
Possession of fireworks is illegal.
In the backcountry, portable stoves and propane-type barbeques, including those that use gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are permitted with a valid campfire permit. Campfire permits are free and can be obtained at any Forest Service, BLM or CALFIRE office.
"If you come across an abandoned campfire, please help us by putting it "dead out" and then reporting its location to the nearest ranger station," stated Tartagalia. To report an abandoned campfire or for more specific district information, contact the Forest Service offices in Sierraville (530) 994-3401, Truckee (530) 587-3558, Camptonville (530) 288-3231, Foresthill (530) 367-2224, and Nevada City (530) 265-4531.

The personal wood cutting program this year will continue to operate as long as individuals have a valid woodcutting permit and follow the conditions on the permit.
Wow that was quick !!!


SO I guess I am bringing the Mr heater to roast marsh mellows !!! LOL
does anyone have the fake fireplace fire video on DVD so that we can play it on someone's DVD headrest player?
Or even the yule log.... hehehehehe I will have to look !!
Oh forgot to mention that I'm planning on doing a day trip out of it. I'll Leave Sacto pretty early in the morning since we need to be at the staging area at 8:00am.

Did we have a confirmation on the staging area location? Or are we thinking hte gold vally trail head:
39 46 18.0___120 37 09.2.

Thanks!
