lutz Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 This will be the 9th year of the Shaver trip, and should have some good wheelin' for everyone. For those who have never been, please read the following info about the trip, and post any questions you may have. For the veterans we're keeping with the same formula as in the past. If you want to be part of the group who makes a campsite reservation, let me know. They now take online reservations so it will be easy to get all are spots. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/lutzg/Shaver%20lake/Shaver%20Lake%202013/P1060643_zpscc213f13.jpg RSVP http://norcalrovers.org/forum/index.php?/calendar/event/84-nclr-shaver-lake-snow-run/ Attending DonLutziAntonioJeremy PNilsJared and ErinColinBear - MaybeVolkovTigerDanMichal cChadPaul and JamieDcproven - Cabin SCLR JakeGarrettScottJpsen88 Shaver 2016 Photo Albums (SmugMug)Album http://norcalrovers....tos/Shaver-2016Upload http://NorCalRovers....rms4/Shaver2016 Camp Reservations: https://www.sunrisereservations.com/reservation/landingPageHandler?cgId=&campgroundName=Camp+Edison 2 to 3 trucks per site 223 Jake 224 225 Don 226 Nick 227 Antonio 229 Lutzi Haas 230 Jared and Erin 231 Paul , Colin, Jamie and Drew (Volkov) 233 Detailed Plan: Friday, 2/193pm Arrive at Camp Edison5pm Camp fire, BYO dinner Saturday, 2/209am Leave Camp Edison9:30am Arrive at trail-head, air down, driver meeting, arrange truck order10am Start the run2pm Head back to town6pm Pizza in Shaver Lake Sunday,2/21Pack up camp and head home at your leisure Description: Shaver Lake is located at the 5,500 ft. elevation, one hour northeast of Fresno in central California.

Ruts, whoops, drifts, ice, are all common ways to crunch a panel.If you stop forward movement, do not spin your wheels. The friction melts the snow and then freezes into ice, reducing the quality of the trail surface. Vehicle Requirements: Chains- Chains may be required on the way to Camp Edison. If you have street tires and plan to hit the trail, you will need two sets of chains. If you have not installed chains before, please test fit them before the trip. Check for clearance issues around brake or ABS lines as well as tire wells during articulation. Stock vehicles (without chains) should remain at Camp Edison and find someone to ride shot-gun with on Bald Mountain. TiresAll vehicles should be fitted with All Terrain or Mud Terrain tires and have a full sized spare. A tire repair kit is recommended. Tires aired down before hitting trail Recovery Points- Strong recovery points front and rear are a must. Expect to pull someone (or yourself) from either end of your truck multiple times. Required Safety & Recovery Equipment: Fire extinguisher, Hi-Lift and/or X-Jack (at least one vehicle carry one), winch (every other vehicle is optimal), recovery strap (each vehicle should have their own)Metal shovel (shovel snow), first aid kit, repair tools and spares to suit your vehicle, tire gauge and tire pumpEmergency overnight pack of food, water, blanket Trail Communications: HAM radio 146.460 (simplex) Shaver Lake Repeaters146.820- 141.3 KE6JZ CB (channel 7) Clothing Suggestions: Snow/winter clothing- layer with base clothing that wicks sweat, polar fleece, wind/water repellent shell jacket or winter jacket; winter gloves, hat or beanie, and snow boots.

RedRover Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Count me in. Should I reserve a site, or anybody want to share? As Lutzi mentioned, two trucks can pull into most of the spots and there is enough space around for multiple tents to land. We should probably list two trucks per site so we don't end up with more sites than necessary. We usually just square up the cost with the person who shares the spot. The other half of my spot is available to anyone who needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilcrawler Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Last year there was enough room for Graeme + 5 teenage boys is one spot. So they are quite roomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkov Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 So.....the 101 will be ready by then, right?It might be running and rolling by then...but the bodywork probably won't be finished. Who knows, I might throw brake lights and turn signals on it and roll. Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
