FJ Cruisers of Northern California

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'll be sleeping in mine as well....with a 100 pound lab :-D. Should be cozy!
I have most of my stuff ready BUT my unhealthy lifestyle and travel is taking its toll. With 100+F fever I will skip tomorrow departure and consider later days if I get better. :((
Sissy =( feel better soon!!!!
bummer...get well!
Leaving now
You all have a blast now! I enjoyed last year's trip! I'll be there this december with some friends.
FYI...Scattered thunder showers today.
Heading up! Gonna be a late arrival....
I'm heading out as soon as I hi tthe ground in SF. Currently at the Schiphol Airport Amsterdam waiting for my flight. Should be leaving the Pleasanton area around 4PM Friday. Does anyone want to caravan up??? If so, just post up and when I get into town we can coordinate.

PS:The jello shot have been made! John
I'm leaving the North Bay around 7pm also, I'll be behind you, which way you going ? Anybody have a suggestion to the fastest way there from Petaluma ? Map-quest says to go up through Placerville/South Lake Tahoe and then down ?
I prefer going through Yosemite, Toulumne Meadows, but I have a park pass so it's free to me. Not sure if that is most direct for you since you are coming from North Bay though.

Google Maps shows 5.5 hours going through Yosemite vs. 6.1 hours going through South Lake Tahoe.
Just got back and had a epic trip with all those that showed up to the High Sierra Run....that last night was crazy fun...lol...
