and myself.
Are we planning on sticking to the same game plan and meeting up Friday morning at the off grid site.. then figure it out from there?
Ill be cruising up after work on Thursday night, might camp in bishop or just go straight to Mammoth, not sure yet. Is anyone else planning on going up Thursday night?

 

I'm game for leaving anytime Thursday...

 

Same here! Plus enjoying a lot of cold brewski's and some good 'ole food! Oh yea, maybe a dip or two in the nearest watering hole if we get around to it.

 

Does anyone have a headcount for the weekend of the 27th?

 

Yep, it's a shame people trash the place, but I see it constantly all over the Eastern Sierra.

 

It's sad but I always carry a trash bag in my camelbak just to be able to pack out people's trash while hiking. I get kinda obsessed with finding trash on the trail. My wife is happy that I'm cleaning up after others and gets pretty pissed that others can just leave their shit (mostly candy bar wrappers and empty water bottles) in such beautiful places. The rangers always like to high 5 me and my boys when they see us hiking with a full trash bag. I've found most trash is hidden behind those downed logs that make perfect resting and sitting spots along the trails. People love to just toss their shit behind them and then get up and continue hiking along like nothing happened.

 

If you look at the original post it has the list of those who have committed.

 

@ODNAREM ... I saw earlier in this thread that you wanted to try and make one of these weekend trips. Never saw a follow-up. You gonna make it for the 7/27 weekend?

 

Trucks or people?

 

Both lol. Jut to get an idea of how crowded it’ll be with regards to sites, and space. Looks like the original thread is pretty accurate, but didn’t know if we had any late bloomers.

 

Clark’s canyon lots of good granite climbing in the mammoth lakes basin like crystal crag and dike wall

 

No very few spots are actually baseless . For the backcountry is more of respecting
The fish by fishing barbless so we don’t rip them in half

 

So for 7/20 I’m now up in the as my truck might not be driving as I’m waiting on parts I’ll know more Monday and let you know. If that’s the case
I might
Go hiking and fishing in the backcountry for a few nights but if anyone needs gear or anything I can have t ready for
You guys to pickup

 

If nobody on the list flakes I think we will have a group between 20-25 people tops but I'm guessing we will end up with 16-20 heads. I picked the location because we can fit a lot of trucks in the area without being packed like sardines.

 

I am trying not to

 

Any update from the dealer or have you not dropped it off yet?

 

Not been dropped of yet. Just got her back to this today. Still got a few things to do to it if I can. This has been a giant pain in the ass!

 

You ain't shitting

 

Even if you can't go on any trail runs, I sure hope you can at least drive up for a couple of nights and camp w/ us brother.
