there is a campground at icehouse and a campground closer to the trailhead. if you meet up with part of the group on the way up i'm sure there will be people camping both places.

Whoever claims our floor first can have it...along with a shower in the morning

Are you bringing anyone Mikey?

Everybody is welcome to stop at my place again for a rest stop like last year if they want. I am leaving sometime thursday depending on if anybody wants to stop. I'm staying in Placerville thursday night with some friends. I'll be at the lake friday morning at 8:00.

Im not sure which way were going up yet. Last year we all met at the Flying J on the 5, and Jeep-a-vanned up from there.

Mikey...are you gonna meet up with us here in Temecula First? Is anyone else from this area going up as well?

Tam

[igofshn]

For you tam, it is probably easier to go 395.

[stevo]

Well I would like to meet at Flying J near the 5 or maybe mojave if we end up taking the 395. But i realy need to follow someone up there if possible.
Thanks
mike

Tam, Me and my girls may take your floor if its not spoken for. Can I store my rig and trailer at ice house? Also, anyone wanting to store there doors or stuff in my tow rig {locked shell} is more than welcome.

[sarah]

We're going up 395. No plans for time of departure yet, but we'll pick anyone up along the way.

Thanks Chris_L for the offer. We might take you up on that Icehouse watched our doors last year for us, but I think we were thinking of trying to find a closer spot this year to the end of the trail.

[stevo]

If its sometime after like 3 or so i would like to be able to meet up.
But time to meet can be figured out later
thanks
mike

No problem Chris...its yours. The girls can all sack out on the air mattresses, and you can have the bed

Ice House will allow you to store you tow rig for $5 a day (I think) Call them and find out. Is the other place you were talking about closer to the main highway? It may make more sense to drop the truck and trailer off there, then to drive all the way back up Ice House Rd. Just a thought.

Ill talk to Chris and find out which way were going up.

Stevo, I hate to say this, but I think most folks are planning on leaving early on Thursday, as last year we left relatively early, and BARELY made the 10pm check in(phew!) If you leave at or after three, youre really going to be pushing it if you have to be there before 10.

Tam

[sarah]

Tam, you're right. I think we accounted for about 11-12 hours of a drive. We won't be leaving at the crack of dawn, but definitely before 10am from 395 & I-15.

Tam, if you guys want to head up 395 with us you're welcome to come out Wednesday night and we can leave in the morning.

Tam,
I don't know if I'm gonna have a passenger or not. Supposed to, but he's been flaking on everything lately, so I probably won't know until Thursday. I'll meet you kids in Temecula and tailgate the whole way.

If there's camping that close, I'll just throw up my tent and crash. I just don't want to get ditched before we get to the trail...or after we get there either.
