FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Sierra Nevada Mountain Rendezvous & Op

Monache Meadows & Sherman Pass Area
Sept 13-15 (14th is main day)

Open invitation

We will be driving, navigating, and signaling other off road teams, giving and receiving instructions that we find in previously hidden geotactical caches. The course is "unknown" until you begin to run it. To top it off we are having a sensory deprivation "Night Op" on Saturday the 14th.

Here's a preview of the area we'll be running...video link
This is a free group run I'm setting up with a little help from my friends.

Aerial Pic was taken with my electric helicam chasing Adam Spiker's FJ and Serge's Hummer.

Bummer that it falls on the same weekend as Step~Cal's fall festival. This sounds like a really cool event.

then you probably know Kenny is the blue FJ in all our videos...look forward to meeting you. What kind of radios do you carry...i.e. HAM, FRS, or CB?

If I wasn’t working that weekend and broke as a joke, I would be so down to go! How often do you run these things?

Hey Dominator,

The ops are very labor intensive to plan and setup so we only do 4 per year. Next one is Nov 9. Then probably February (SAR). Basically every 3-4 months.

Save your money for gas and join us when you can.

Chris, Land Ops
