It would be nice to make a list of annual club runs or events with fixed dates or the days of the week and get them on the calendar. That way people can plan a year in advance and can make arrangements for time off, if needed. Here is the start of a list of potential annual runs/events:

1. Hell Hole (day run) in May (1st Friday in June, right Josh?)

 

  

Yes. That is correct Jeff. 

I would add one more:

9, Annual Signal Peak run and potluck on top of the mountain. Good views to take in there!

1. Hell Hole (day run) in May (1st Friday in June, right Josh?)

2. Sierra Trek (1 to 5 or 6 days, second week in August)

3. Barrett Lake (this September run was ideal)

4. Slick Rock/Deer Valley (2nd week or weekend in October)

5. Club campout

6. Toy run

7. Apple Hill runs

8. Rubicon overnight run

I realize that some of these runs/events may be influenced by weather and other conditions such as wildfires, etc. but many clubs do the same runs during the same period or dates year after year. Please add other runs/events that could possibly be schedule well in advance and let's get them on the 2024 calendar.

  

This is a fantastic idea Jeff! Considering my better half is a serious planner and usually sets things up 8 months to a year ahead of time, doesn’t leave much room for last minute changes.

I saw they announced that the 2024 date for Sierra Trek is August 8th through the 11th so I put the 7th through the 11th on the club calendar.

  

We could also increase that date range for people who may want to camp early and get a spot.  Some people may want to camp early before the event and just camp leaving before the event.

John, I added an extra day since most people who attend Sierra Trek come up at least the day before it starts. Maybe we can create two date ranges for those of us who want to come a few more days before the event. We could also do some other runs or activities in conjunction with Sierra Trek.

  

Good Idea!

I'm assuming you meant Wed June 26 to Fri June 28.  I won't be making that week, but if that's best for the group then I would say make it happen.  That thursday is my daughters 18th birthday, however I could make a different week work for Wed-Fri.  My thoughts for Mon-Wed were to avoid leading into the weekend with the different organised group events starting to hit the trail on thursdays, but June shouldn't be a problem based on past years.  I'll be at the Christmas party, let's talk more and get it figured out.

Figuring it out at the Christmas party sound good. See you there. 

Edit - as discussed at party…. Keeping July dates. Should be fun.

Night run up signal peak would be fun.  Easy trail, great view, easy drive home.

  

We need to pick a new moon night for star gazing. I’ll check my Astro  calendar and pick a good day. I’m assuming it should be a weekend day?  I’d prefer a weekday, but others aren’t retired like me.
