Slick Rock! 8/28-30. A Re-Do of a Re-Do of a Never Really Done...

Either thickness play you use you need to add reinforcement stiffeners like sum criss crossed angle iron on its side so it forms like a triangle, that's what really helps em from bending

Here's a good deal on some skids for ya @552Jrider
And @bayareataco is a good dude!

 

Less than two weeks away - so it's not too soon to start planning for food and communications.

I suspect folks will be arriving at different times on Fri/Sat morning and it'll be difficult to do any kind of joint food plan. Personally, I'll stay in a climate controlled hotel in Angel's Camp on friday night, have breakfast there, and then meet you guys at the trailhead on Saturday morning.

Do we want to do any kind of food sharing/pot luck for Saturday evening camping?

What radio/communications are we using? HAM > CB > FRS.

 

I plan on leaving mid morning Friday. Flexible though if people want to convoy but have schedule issues. Would like to leave around 10 or 11 though.

I was gonna keep my food pretty simple this trip but I'm happy to share my pb & j's . I could bring something if y'all wanna potluck. I'll call tomorrow and check on the fire restrictions...

I only have a cb, channel 16 seems to be the most popular recently. Gettin excited! Skids are just about ready to (hit) rock! May have a surprise comin too .

 

WHAT?? A Hotel?? No camping? Idk bout anyone else ive just got a cb. im sticking to basics food wise. ive yet to aquire any pots or cooking utensils for camping.

x2 on the pb & j's. Snacks and premade sandwiches for me. Im up in Jackson so maybe i can just meet up with u in angles camp and go from there.

 

Just to clarify - I'll be leaving after work on Fri, fighting bay area traffic, and arriving late. I'm not much for finding/setting up a campsite in the dark after 10pm.

But I'm planning on camping with the group on Saturday night after we do the trail.

How many folks will be camping? On Saturday night maybe I can make enough "cajun chicken sausage jambalya" to share with everyone. The recipe below, which I've made before, can be shared as a main dish among roughly a dozen people, assuming folks have also brought some other stuff to eat.

It takes a while to cook; but once at a slick rock campout, I made the mistake of substituting brown rice for regular rice. Then it took a *really* long time to cook.

 

@bjmoose use a pressure cooker if you ever need to cook anything fast at higher elevations.

 

We wont be at the trail head. we camp on the trail before the first obstical.

 

So it looks like I can only make Friday night.... Ill take off after we run the trail. Probably wotn bring the trailer either since lisa isn't coming and its just one night.

 

Was just giving you a hard time. Bay area traffic sucks.

 

I have to clean my garage take my truck apart. Build new VCs and re-assemble my truck with LT. get an alignment. Have jerry weld on limit straps. then im ready. You should be able to put a CV in.

Im also moving my inlaws this Saturday.

 

On Saturday morning I'll turn off hwy four at Alpine Lake and just keep going till I see a bunch of Tacomas.

8:30 AM? Earlier?

 

Steve - you've camped with us before at that spot.

And to everyone else - Steve's jambalaya is ON POINT!!

I figured that was where he meant.

Glad you found it good enough to remember.

Steve your cooking was on point, i think i ate better on that trip than i did at home.

 

What time Saturday morning will everyone be starting on the trail?
