It's going to be cold. Bring warm clothes and a warm sleeping bag.
Sign-in Saturday morning. There will be a sign-in list and a Placer County waiver, sign both. Also, pick a crew.
I know that some people have already indicated they would like to work on certian crews: comms, medical, chow, etc. Sign-in on the crew list you'd like to work on or have already committed to. Sign in as a group (list all names) to work with friends.
The briefing is set for 8:30am weather pending. I realize the cold will keep people from getting up early.
We have a great turnout of traulers. I'd like to ask three of four trailers owners, with really well built trailers, step up to haul boulders. The County delivered boulders and I'd like to move as many as we can. We'll have big rig chains to help the front loader carefully load the boulders.

Get yourself to Lake Tahoe, then from South Tahoe go north on 89, from Tahoe City go south on 89, then:
