lithium1330 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Hey Ron! We plan to leave Saturday morning - could possibly caravan. Though, that will be dependent on getting kid into car, wife getting coffee, (things outside my control). What time are you thinking of leaving and from where? Looks to be 4hr drive from San Jose. And happy to share one site Sat night & split that site cost - we'll be on a ground tent. we do have a 18mo... but he's good sleeping in a tent. Lmk. 52 minutes ago, LandRonB said: Hopefully I am not too late for me to join this event/party. Let me know. If work doesn't get in the way, There's a 50% chance of me making it to this event. I have a 2004 DII w/2" lift, recovery points both front and back, HD rear bumper, HD steering rod, ham radio, no winch. Some experience off-roading! I'll be leaving the Bay Area early morning Saturday (6 hr drive) and then will shoot to join the organized trail run. What's the est start time for the trail runs (for easy or med rated)? Anyone leaving the Bay Area Saturday morning and wants to caravan - let me know. Also I have a roof top tent (small foot print) and just need a Saturday night stay, participate in the $$ raffle, and then leave after bfast Sunday or another trail run. Anyone want to share their spot (one vehicle parking w/roof top tent)? I'll just pay my share! And I'll be using my jetboil to make coffee for myself Sunday morning (and anyone else who wants one) which I am assuming does not need a permit! Cheers!

I was in your shoes many moons ago with two kids, and trying to get them ready for camping or any 4x4 club events, and comfortable during the trip and at the events. From infant to toddler to grade school level, I dragged my kids to these events and they had fun (eventually). It's a test of patience and understanding for sure. Now both of my kids are grown-up (one a sophomore college, and the other college in less than 2 years). You will be at your kids pace of travel so no worries. I will just meet you and your family @ Shaver Lake! Do you have a camp site already? Is there space in your campsite for DII w/RTT? Thanks! drafdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forest service does require a permit for gas powered devices - so to be on the safe side here is the link. It is essentially an online quiz and a print out ; ). There should still be plenty of space open so just head on in - no fees for the campsites.

Andrew Wood Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 The air quality index is definitely going to be a concern for people like me that have a breathing problems. As for me, I have COPD. I have to be careful with the air quality of places I visit. I hope it gets better soon. RobertDingli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Sadly this looks like the first time I won't make an Annual.
