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.

Looking forward to yet another memorable High Sierra run!

for those of you heading up tomorrow or later, base camp has been established!
also, the plastic Jack-o-Lanterns are placed at the key turnoff points.

Out of the hundreds of times I've been to the Eastern Side I can count the times the weather and air quality have been like it was for this trip on one hand, it just couldn't have been better. Cool nights and warm days, great food and great company and the fall colors were really starting to pop. One of my favorite places on earth and to share it with a great group makes it all the better.
Thanks all for a memorable trip and I hope we can do it again soon.

I had a blast too but luckily avoided any real damage to myself. My truck does have some odd stains on it tho.
It was great to see some new faces out on the trails and see some new areas of the eastern sierras.
Thanks Tater for coordinating another excellent adventure.....
