Slick Rock and Deer Valley run

Robert & Amber said Im considering moving the dates only if it works for everyone. Im thinking camp Friday night at utica reservoir rocky point campground. Saturday run slick rock and then up to hermit valley campground. Sunday deer valley. Strawberry pass optional. Let me know, thanks.

That time of the year it shouldn't be too busy on the weekend so I don't see a problem with changing the dates. It's your call since you are leading it Robert.

Last time we did these runs Forestdale Road, the dirt road/trail that runs between Upper Blue Lake and Red Lake on Hwy 88 was closed due to construction at Upper Blue Lake dam. You can take this route rather than driving the paved road from Lower Blue Lake to Hwy 88.

Robert can make the call as lead. I'll be there to assist. I'm good with the date changes. Just need to firm those up please if they are changing to plan time off.

Okay I will give it 2 days to let the others give feedback.

I need to keep the dates as posted for the 30th as I have already gotten that day off

Saturday and Sunday are good for me

I was hoping Friday Saturday, but I can do Saturday Sunday also.

Again, I'm interested in attending the one run that'll be on Saturday, depending on the finalized dates. Once that's decided, need to know the date, time & meeting location. Thanks!

Okay group. Im going to leave the schedule as Jeff originally had planned. I have a conflict in my schedule and cannot lead Friday slick rock run. Is there anyone that can fill in to lead that? I will be at hermit valley campground Friday evening to camp. I can lead Saturdays deer valley run. Thanks

I can lead it but I will not be camping at the lake on Thursday night into Friday morning I will be driving to the trail head on the south end of the trail Friday morning

Dale Clement said I can lead it but I will not be camping at the lake on Thursday night into Friday morning I will be driving to the trail head on the south end of the trail Friday morning

Sounds great Dale. Thank you.

I'll be there. Like Dale, I won't be there until the morning. What time are we rolling out? 9am?

I will also come up on Friday morning.  Meet at the McDonalds in Angel's Camp  33N Main Street.

I’m thinking meet at the McDonalds in Angels Camp at 7:30am and leave at 8:00am. I’m going to stop in Arnold to fuel up, we should be at the trail head around 9:30am. Air down and be on the trail by 10:00am

Sounds like a plan.

Thanks Dale

I’ll plan to run slick rock on Friday with you all and  deer valley Sat. I’ll very likely stay in the area Thurs night and so will plan to meet at the trail head at 930am on Friday unless I post otherwise. Looking forward to it!

This run is now posted on the calendar please go there for details thanks Dale

Robert - I assume the meeting place for the Deer Valley run on Saturday morning will start at the Hermit Valley campground, just need the time to muster, thanks...

If memory serves me, in past runs we would meet at McDonalds in Angels Camp at 7:30 am and leave there at 8:00 am. Top off fuel in Arnold and meet the campers at Hermit Valley Campground on Hwy 4 at 9:30 with the goal of being on the trail at 10:00. The trailhead is right at the campground.

Thanks Jeff, I’ll assume these times, unless I hear or see otherwise.

Our jeep is at the dealer repairing the parking brake, which apparently needs parts they don't have in stock & have to go their national warehouse to get. All this means is time & if the RR goes on strike, that situation will do nothing but to add time. So this could well dip into the time of the Deer Valley run. I'll respond to this again before the run, one way or another.

I'm a solid maybe! Got a call today from WFO and my axle is in. He was shocked because the factory told him 3 to 4 months and the last one he ordered took 7 months. I drop my Jeep off on Monday the 26th so it should be done before this trip.

That’s fantastic! Fingers crossed it will be done in time!
