FJ Cruisers of Northern California
High Sierra 2010
Date: Wednesday, September 22 - Sunday, September 26
Location: Eastern Sierra
Level: All
Comms: CB - 31, FRS/GPRS - 7-31, HAM 147.52 simplex no tone
Cell signal: Available on the trail when in direct line of sight with Mammoth Lakes, which pretty much means the beginning of the trail to around the aspen grove before the turnoff to the campsite.
Weather: highs in the mid-70s, lows in the low-30s overnight.
Campsite: dispersed camping (no showers, no toilets), please bring wood if you can!
Official trail runs:
Friday - Mazourka Canyon/The Narrows and Thereabouts
Saturday - Kavanaugh Ridge/Bodie Ghost Town/Mono Craters exploration
Alternate "rogue" runs will be most likely scheduled and proposed.
National Public Lands Day:
Free admission to Devil's Postpile National Monument and Mono Lake
Volunteer opportunity: TBD on Saturday AM
this is the official thread for the annual High Sierra run. despite having considered moving to an alternating base camp/expedition style run, we'll stick with the base camp idea this year. we'll establish base camp on Laurel Lakes trail again.
395 to Trail Head: http://bit.ly/cwHI0p
Approximately 1.5 miles of dirt road once you get off 395 at Sherwin Creek Road
the High Sierra run, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the format, is part trail run, part vacation. we will only establish 2-3 "official" trail runs and the rest of the activities are planned impromptu or on-your-own. last year, several folks went fishing, kayaking and sightseeing. more details on the planned runs will be outlined in the coming weeks, but will most likely include Coyote Flat, Mono Craters and yearly favorite, Kavanaugh Ridge.
also, i am looking into a possible volunteer opportunity for National Public Lands Day on Saturday, the 25th. i will most likely propose something in the nearby Mammoth area...perhaps a trail clean-up. for those of you who are unfamiliar with National Public Lands Day, it is the nation's largest hands-on volunteer effort to help sure-up and clean-up our public lands. it also allows free admission to most national parks and monuments (Yosemite, Devil's Postpile and Mono Lake included).

I am curious; why do you go through Yosemite? Last year I went on 108 and came back on 120. 120 was much slower and I would say even unsafe, because of so many tourists at the side of the road... you also need to pay the fee. 108 is only about 20 miles longer...

Temps look to be high 60s day time but mid to low 30s at night so bring bundle-up material.
