Bring her, just say " Here is our new home" ;-) Next time.
Hahaha. We're actually going backpacking up in the Trinity Alps this weekend so that's probably something she'd expect me to do ?

I won't be able to make this trip. Got too many things going on at the home front. Have a good trip guys and girls.

For those with Navigation you can put the coordinates in the Truck Navigation (address) and it routes just fine. I put in the BlackRock Ranger Station and the Camp listed in the 1st post and it routed me all the way there on the forest roads.

Start from the Blackrock Ranger Station / Blackrock Visitor Center
  • 36.09419, -118.26464
Head north on 21S03 / Blackrock

Turn right on 21S36

  • 36.12802, -118.26059
Keep left at 20S22 (dirt road)

  • 36.15618, -118.24147
Turn left to start on the Monache 4x4 Jeep Trail

  • 36.16233, -118.23269
Continue north. The Monache Jeep Trail crosses into the Inyo National Forest and curves right at Snake Creek.

  • 36.17916, -118.20853
Continue straight into the Meadows or turn right to the first camping area on 20S03A

  • 36.19631, -118.18142

So Dan has called the local ranger station, propane fires only. Thoughts on postponing?

I'll be there. I have almost everything in terms of camping and recovery. Might even have a propane fire pit.

GOOD NEWS! I just spoke to the ranger 760 549 9533, things we needed to know:
1. No open fires (Wood or charcoal)
2. Propane cook stoves and fire pit okay.
3. camping permit not required.
4. Fishing licenses are required.
5. BARBless Hooks

It was a great camping trip. The only concern was the amount of large open fires, in a no open fire time. There was no rangers out and about.

Hey, I'm looking to do this trip next month and was wondering if a stock Fx4 ranger would make it no problem
