Jen Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm on the fence. I think I can now leave San Jose about 1pm, which would put me into Bishop at around 8. I still would need to leave late Sun night or really early Mon morning as the boys start Cub Scout camp Monday and I'm supposed to be volunteering that day. But the photos look beautiful and I haven't been out at all since Death Valley. Sick of taking the Rover to the grocery store and back- boring!

El Solis Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 so google puts livermore to bishop at 5 hours, then another 3-4 off road according to the GPS data i have from Christian. So from San Jose I would add about an hour (friday traffic etc). so that is into camp about 10pm. depending on what time monday you have to be at cub scout camp prob better to leave sunday while it is still light out for the trail part. also, you would have to drive in alone most likely as we will be into camp when you get to Bishop. I can mark the trail as we go with some surveyors tape. it's a long drive but you would be there all day saturday and a good portion of sunday. for everyone who is going I'm planning on posting an update tomorrow and will need to start gathering the contact info's etc. either PM or txt (209-423-3888) or email (clsolis@yahoo.com). I am really excited!! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPittl Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 So far it looks like I'll be able to make the trip! I've recruited a buddy to come with me. He has a brand new RRS supercharged but is too sissy to take it wheeling on this trip, lol...so he is just coming along for the ride. I'll most likely bring my fishing poles. Cheers, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Solis Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 OK Everyone we are now in the month of July which means the High Sierras trip is coming up!! Let’s start to finalize the guest list, make some plans for dinners, etc. So things I need to know vs things I think I know: Guest ListMyself, my dad Ron, brother Daniel (he may not be able to make it)Christian and his wifeDa Quatch soloGriffMystery guests 2-3 peopleAlan plus 1Jen is a maybe so 10-13 people, 6-7 rigs. I was thinking of pairing up and dividing up dinners. 2 trucks take a night and make dinner for the group, would allow for easier packing etc. Problems would be if people have dietary restrictions. We can also pot luck each night (fri, sat, sun) of just potluck one night, or be a bunch of loners and not do anything together. So let me know what you guys think about this. Now’s the time to send me the emergency contact info so I can put that into the list. I would like to email everyone a list of all the contacts so if there is a problem everyone’s family can be in touch. Also, as I mentioned I can receive texts from my wife so if someone needs to be contacted she can relay the message. Plans are the same as the original post, meet on friday at 11am and drive in. I’ll be there thurs night with Christian and I caravanning thurs. Check out the attached and let me know via pm, text, email, or phone call 209-423-3888 clsolis@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffSC Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Problems would be if people have dietary restrictions. So how do we deal with 'quatch then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffSC Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looks good that I'm in. I've asked a couple guys if they want to ride shotgun, but haven't gotten confirmation yet. Probably just be me and the HAPE ape (ask me later). Haven't decided on the rig yet. Might opt for the van because I'll be doing some more rigorous wheeling in the Sierra Buttes area the following weekend. Plus, would be more comfortable to drive the van that distance.

El Solis Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 High altitude pulmonary edema? I got something for that but if you take it you can't come within 100 yards of me. Brother Daniel is out, work issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 So how do we deal with 'quatch then? Thank you for remembering my delicate dietary issues Griff. Seefood diet, check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffSC Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 High altitude pulmonary edema? I got something for that but if you take it you can't come within 100 yards of me. LOL! Never had it, of course, but a buddy and I always joke about the HAPE ape coming to get us when we're at altitude. Personally, I'm more interested in a raging case of HACE. Then again, in all likelihood, we're all gonna be victims of a phenomenon solely inherent to Sasquatch - PINAS, or pheromone-induced nocturnal arousal with spooning.

NomaD110 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Teaming up for dinners might be fun. We can handle lunch and breakfast on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatch Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I just went through my gear and realized that my wading boots are a bit too tight. Guess my feet are still growing...my wife's a lucky lady!! Doing some research I found that there's a bit of a movement to ban felt soled wading boots. My Chota STL's are in great shape and if anyone needs a size 12. they're available for a case of beer or bottle of GJ. On the serious note, is it illegal for felt now? All the big mfgr's are offering vibram soled boots now and I'm spoiled with felt and studs. Help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasquatch Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Aquatic Invasives is the issue. Alaska has already banned felt soles. This is geared towards the out of area fisherman bringing in micro-species from elsewhere. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffSC Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 B'fasts and lunches on own. Dinners by Chris. Fine with me. I know you're not a dietician, Chris, but your medical training and frequent journal reading should make you the obvious choice for providing healthy and sustantive meals for we laypeople, especially since there are fears of HAPE Ape, PINAS and the like. Hey, 'quatch! I'm sure there are a myriad of micro-species residing in your pelt, although depending on the extent of your range, the majority are indigenous and therefore would not create a problem. Don't know about anyone else, but I was planning to don my felt thong (also known as a tunic) for some lap-swimming. Sounds like this may not be copacetic with the local lake denizens... hell, maybe it won't be particularly appreciated by the trip-goers either. Guess if I meet resistance, I can always go without.
