Honestly haven't decided yet. Jefe and I were thinking maybe just one or none - just to keep our camping gear and packed food manageable. We don't think we would want to make the run with the amount of gear we usually bring if all three boys come along.

I wish I could join you guys...someday i'll make it up there though.
I was on the Pirate board and noticed quite a few groups will be up there the same weekend, one group will have at least 25 rigs Have fun up there regardless.
tracy made hoptel reservations for us on thursday night I belive in plaserville. Is anyone else planning on staying their the night before then running up to the dam in the morning?
We are planning on staying in the same hotel we did last time. Can't remember the name so I will have to dig up the receipt. Clean and good rates. I will be making reservations for Thursday night. Sunday, depending on when we get out of the Con, I will either stay in Placerville, or go on to Sacramento for the night. Want to stop by the CHP academy on the way home for some goodies.
The reason I ask Is I don't think everyone needs to bring a stove and a BBQ. Is someone wants to bring a stove I will bring a bbq or visa versa. I just want to bring the least amount of stuff.
there are plenty of campsites, although very limited around loon lake. There is also a ton on the way to loon lake along Icehouse road. Go to www.reserveamerica.com and look for campsites like: wrench creek, icehouse, gerle creek. There are actually a lot more but I cannot remember them all. the actual area is known as the Crystal Basin Recreation Area. Even if it says that all of the campsites are full as far as reservations are concerned; there are still a ton of first come first serve campsites available.
On a frustraing note: I will not be able to attend because everything on my explorer seems to be breaking and I don't have time to fix it all! (damn transfer case) Maybe later on in the summer.
So have fun guys!

I am planning on heading out the 12th after work to fresno where my girlfriend lives. that gives me all day wedensday to get her jeep ready for the run. Need to finish getting that onboard shower hooked up Then head out noonish thursday towards plaservile. I have a friend I am meeting up with and a few other stops to make along the way. I am not sure where we are staying as tracy made the reservations.
On a side note, anyone know the details about campfires? Do we need to get a permit and what about cutting wood while out there? I can probably get a chainsaw to bring if needed but not positive on that. I am used to packing a ranger so its going to be interesting to pack everything in a jeep.
Here is the jeep that we will be in. It is now sporting brand new 33" mtrs though.
John and I were busy working on our rigs today, with less than great success.
I got my superior axles in , got some fluids changed, and a few other things . . .AND I finally found out why my front locker hasn't been working properly. Hopefully I can get the part shipped overnight and get it installed in time.
John got his winch wired up after learning the hard way how to rebuild it, was working on installing his dual batteries when I left, and had about a dozen other boxes of 'toys' to install or finish installing.
Do you know if we have to get it at a local rangerstation or can I go to any ranger station and get one? Guess Ill stick tracy on it monday to see what we need.
I wasnt so much thinking of cutting stuff down with the chain saw. More along the lines of making big pieces already down smaller. Ill have her ask about that as well. Im way behind at work right now. Im hoping I can get out of here tuesday but it may not be till wedensday night.

Tom, I just got my Pett. But the cover falls off when I open it. Does yours do the same thing. I have a feeling they wont take it back after its been used!

If I remember correctly, the cover does come off, and can be used as part of the base. I'll check mine tonight.
