Shaver Lake, CA - Anyone?

[Pathung]

After cancellation of a number of events, the Cal4Wheel organization (the same people who put up the Winter FunFest) has deemed its annual High Sierra Poker Run safe enough to run - two days of wheeling around Shaver Lake, including one of my favorite trails, Bald Mountain (two versions over two days - Extreme, Not-Extreme). I did this trail a few years ago in a Frontier with no locker, and it made it to the top without too much drama (just a few hits on the skid plates and sliders ;-) ).

The dates are 09/04~09/07 - arrive Friday night, base camp, leave Sunday afternoon. Cost is $60 for first day (one run per day), and an addition $20 for second day (or something like that) - paid per vehicle. Accommodations are first-come-first-served disbursed camping at the foot of the trail (so I understand). For more official info., email Paul Brady at [email protected]

Recommended truck specs:
4x4 with 2" or higher lift over stock
Sliders and full-armor
Diff. lock highly-recommended
tough side-walled AT/MT tires
Communications: CB is preferred, but FRS/GMRS/Ham are fine, too - just bring SOMETHING.

Due to COVID, they've canceled their traditional group dinner and other activities to keep folks safe. I'm playing by ear for now, but the temptation is palpable....

This looks like a lot of fun. I have a good buddy that lives up in Fresno, who is on these runs all the time. He drives a white SAS Ranger Reg cab with a flat bed.

I did Swamp about 10 -15 years ago, in my explorer with 33's and a rear locker. That was a long day! But very fun.

Need to get back up there.
