okay I just rsvp's for the camp site!

Campground Name: Gray's Peak Group Camp

Max vehicles allowed on camp site = 8
Max occupants allowed = 40
This campsite has:
> Bbq Grills (1)

> Pit Toilet (1)
> Table (3 Tables)

Getting there:
Take I-10 east (State Hwy 330) to Running Springs, CA. Take State Hwy 18 to Big Bear Lake Dam. Do not cross Dam. Go straight on SH-38 to Fawnskin and left on Rim of the World Drive (3N14) for 1.2 miles to 2N13. Follow 2N13 for a short distance to the campground.

Fees:
Camp fee: 130

timber725 (plus F150?)
Bud (camping is questionable ... which means we might have some crappy grubbing w/o his awesome grill!!! )

Those of ya that don't have the adventure pass, it might be a good idea to get em. I got mine at REI (27 for the first primary card and 4 for the secondary card). Only needed if you part your truck outside on the trail itself. But if it is inside the campsite, it's not required (that's my understanding).

Anyway, can't wait till bear

Adventure passes are needed if you park anywhere in San Bernardino National Forest. So, it is a good idea to just get it. The pass is $27 for one whole year, so it is worth it.

The pass is valid for:
San Bernardino NF
Angeles Crest NF
Cleveland NF
Los Padres NF

This pretty much covers the entire So. Cal. The rangers do go out and ticket people. I've seen it myself.

I think someone said they are also available at Sports Chalet? There's one of those by my work I can hit up tomorrow if that's the case.

the adventure pass is only required if you stay on the trail and park and leave (or sleep i.e. outside the camp site).

aside from that, if you're here to just have fun on the trails, then there's no need for ya to get em

Can I be a pain and ask if any of you are taking wife/gf/mistress and/or children?

I'm very keen, but at this stage I can't separate from the family as we have been apart for nearly six months due to work in different countries so I don't want to get lynched having just got back together!

Hope to catch up with you guys on the trail soon.

Cheers
Mark

I would love to bring my son, but I don't think I want to be changing diapers and offroading at the same time.

I'll try and make it up there friday night, but I get off work at 5:30 pm in Oxnard. By the time I get home and packed it'll be past 8pm, the earliest I'd make it would be around midnight...

Lance you got the GPS coordinates of the camp?

no gps since i don't have one

directions are relavitely easy.

Getting there:
Take I-10 east (State Hwy 330) to Running Springs, CA. Take State Hwy 18 to Big Bear Lake Dam. Do not cross Dam. Go straight on SH-38 to Fawnskin and left on Rim of the World Drive (3N14) for 1.2 miles to 2N13. Follow 2N13 for a short distance to the campground.

It's relatively easy to find. I should be leaving here 60/71 interchange around 7 or 8 and try to be up by 9-10. But most likely 11. crossing fingers ofcourse
