Howdie Folks,
Now that I've taken the Hawaii vacation I promised my wife (exchange for my RRC build-up), and Shaver Lake Snow run past us, I am ready to plan for the Return to Shaver Lake Summer Run (minus the snow :D) in July 2009.
I contacted Treadlightly and no plans for a clean-up/PR Opportunity at this point. Figured, can't wait for that, and just scheduled this run as planned and hit some fun granite rock trails on Bald Mtn.
Camping Friday and Saturday nite; Bald Mtn trail run Saturday. Optional activity Sunday - see below.
This year if time permits I'd like to spend an optional Sunday a.m. hike up Dusy Ershim Trail: http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.aspx?trailid=XFT003-065; Park our truck at the north entrance of this trail, take our backpacks and hike up several miles, lunch on the trail and back. Bring Mosquito Spray for sure and plenty of water!
Also if I don't put this out now and with a busy July ahead of us, folks might not find time fo this trip.
I enjoy returning to Shaver Lake and Bald Mtn trail both winters and summer runs, and certainly summer is better if you like to take a swim, soak up the sun and really shoot for making to the top of Bald Mtn and check out the fantastic panoramic view of the Sierras.
With this said, I am looking at the 1st or 2nd wknd after 4th of July (1-12 or 17-19) or perhaps give more people options on the wknd of July 24-26. On that wknd, their the Jeep Jamboree to the Rubicon Trail Tony is planning if you like extreme, and the SCLR's Rover Rendezvous from Easy to Extreme. Bald Mtn is med difficult.
Here's last year's trip report; read the vehicle req and trip details: http://nclrclub.org/forum/showthread.php?t=416
Here's my CT110 on the trail.
Here's phil Range Rover Sport (if you have a modern Rover w/skid plates you're welcome to come)
And Gary's Classic!
View from the top of Bald Mtn/Look-out Tower.
Post your questions and if you are interested, let me know. After which, I will submit the trip request and post the official trip details/sheet once I get enough interest.
Cheers!
