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.
* no loud amplified music on trails or campsites

Looking forward to yet another memorable High Sierra run!

OK - update on my/Cowboy's plans.
I will head up to the Sac area this coming Sunday (9/20) and meet his Mom on Monday. His Mom is leaving Tuesday, and Cowboy and I will head to the High Sierra Run on Wednesday! YAY!! I also invited Maureen (Muddygrrl) since she is in the Sac area and she may be available to caravan out with us. If she comes out, she will most likely be bringing a trail dog too.
Wooohooo! Just wanted to give y'all an update now that I have a better idea of the plan. : )
