Socalfest 2012

[jeeperjohn]

I had to miss Socalfest last year so I plan on making it this year.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Do you want to help us to get sponsors to give up the goodies for our raffle?

I may not be so helpful. Going to be moving soon and am going to be with out the internet for a month to two.

Hmm can't edit my last post? I can help set up and what not I plan on taking a few days off for this.

I should be hauling my rig up on a trailer this year, but I haven't found the right Dodge truck as of yet.

You could do what quentin did a couple years ago and use a penske truck

 

[Skwerly]

Hah, true dat.

I'll probably just endure another pedal-to-the-metal trip up the hill this year, going 35 mph.

I still need to talk to Geoff about that transmission switch...

Might I also suggest an organized run to Calico as well as Stoddard Valley (Pumpkin Eater).

Anyone else have interest in either a day run or overnight run at Calico before it gets too damn hot? I'm open for pretty much any weekend with enough notice.

So is this May 18th - 20th? Pick a date and stick to it so I can get it on the calendar and not miss it.

Plus, there are some other events that people are trying to plan and don't want to have it on coincide with SoCalFest. Wouldn't want your turn-out numbers to drop

 

[kayle666]

Yeah pretty sure its those days m8

 

[Nimrod]

Whatever the dates, I'll be there. Had a great time last year.

Mike we are trying to work out a snafu that was unforeseen with the planning/date choice.

 

[Chip Clip]

What snafu?

OK, to clear up any misconceptions:
I posted up to see where we wanted to have this not realizing this event is tied directly to the adopt a trail program. It was no matter though as the consensus was it has to stay in Big Bear, my bad on that one, I should have known that.
So after that it was posted up that there is a problem with Serrano campground not being able to take reservations due to some sort of contract dispute.
So that leaves us with:
It will be in Big Bear as always
We need to find a suitable (restrooms, showers etc.) campground to use.

If anybody knows of a good campground in the area please post up about it. We still need to figure this out. The dates are still May 18-20 at this point.

[FONT=&quot]Well, we always have it at Serrano, but I think we all but wore out our welcome last year. I’m fine with anywhere up there; I’ve done Crab Flats, Hanna Flat, Serrano, etcetera. They are all okay with me.

The only campgrounds that are available are first come-first serve, Big Pine Flat, Holcomb Valley, Horse Springs , etc. Those campgrounds have pit toilets and may or may not have running water. Plus they are remote, at least a half hour off pavement.

SoCal Fest is not contingent on the Adopt A Trail program or vice versa.

Though it may not be contingent, I think it is best if we do our best to have it close to our adopt a trail so that we can get the best participation in the annual cleanup. It will depend, though, on finding a suitable campground.
