White Rock Lake and meteor showers in August ?


Recommended Posts

Is club still going there?

 I’ll try to scout it out this weekend. Hopefully any obstacles are cleared. I just found out that Aug11-15 is Cal4’s Sierra Trek is at Meadow Lake just opposite White Rock. Hope there’s room at White Rock for camping.

Hi Rupert,

 

We've tried organizing it but ran into forest fires a couple of years in a row and the Rovicon ends up being the second weekend in August as that's when we can get a reservation for Rubicon springs.

 

We'd love to get it going again, feel free to plan it out!! Lot's of newer members with Rovers that would really enjoy it I believe!!

I would be down for this! Unfortunately I will be out of state this year.

Looks like the peak is around August 11th and 12th this year but coincides with a big bright moon... :(.

The last time we had a spectacular Perseid we witnessed was when we hiked into Glen Aulin Camp in Yosemite and fell asleep laying on a blanket on the slabs counting shooting stars. No full moon and we were up to around 300+ when we lost count.
