Camp unless you want to get a cabin in Shaver, but I'm sure it would be too late to get a reservation.

Re: Naxja swamp run Report

This report is from the Fresno Club websit:

There is still snow in the mountains but the trails are starting to open:

Open: Red Mountain - Mirror, West, Strawberry, Red Lake

Open: Swamp Lake to Hatch lake barrier

So is there any hope of the rest of Swamp Lake opening before the 14th?

 

[ChuckD]

Well whatever we decide on, I'm leaving Kerman Friday morning and either going on Swamp, Red/Coyote or just camping around Bald/Dinkey Creek. I may even check out the Spanish Route.

The Swamp route is open to the same spot is was last year when I scouted it for you guys. Its 2wd all up to it then a green gate, which I cant legally open for anyone anymore. Swamp could be open guys... the heat is on.

If swamp isn't open, I doubt I'll make it for this run. But fingers crossed right?

 

[Matt S.]

Same here. If swamp isnt open, I am going to volunteer for a boys and girls club event instead. I MAY squeek into red or coyote one night to say high.

Does it mean nobody is going or does it mean everybody is going different places ?

What is the latest time for trail opening notice to come for run to proceed ?

I will call Greg at the Forest Service tomorrow and report in. However, for the first time in 10 years, I will not be able to lead this run. We'll have to decide tomorrow what we're going to do.

I would encourage any of you who are planning to go this weekend to post up so we can figure out what to do.

BTW, the Bakersfield Trailblazers are planning a run to Swamp Lake and Bald Mtn trails as a fund raiser for Surprise Canyon/Friends of Panamint Valley on the weekend of Aug 25-27. This is a simple run, we'll camp along the road to Swamp Lake, and make day runs on the Swamp Lake trail and Bald Mtn trail. Camping will be $20 donation per night per family/rig and dinner Sat night will be $10 per person. All proceeds will go directly to FOPV.

Just a note in case any of you might like to join us for this run.

Due to work and all that I have various guys going on Labor Day weekend. I am leading this run but I'll see if what we can do to move the date back.

I am sad to inform you all that I will be missing this years run ... AGAIN!

Things are just not working right, my health has been getting bad over the last few months. I have a doctors appointment thursday that may take me to bed rest for 4 to 6 months! I just cant justify this trip this year with a possible very expensive surgury in the near future.

Goatboy, I will let you know thursday night how august is looking.

Hey, you're WAY too young to be having any health problems. But, at least you recover a lot quicker when you're younger. Hope you get good news at the doctor.....whatever good news might be.

 

[Gary E]

I was planning on making it, A base camp and day runs is always nice for us camper guys, I have not done red lake and coyote but have done swamp a couple of times.

 

[Matt S.]

So I got some half good news! I am going to go ahead and take this trip on. Physical thearapy is looking like it will fix the problem. The doctor is comfirming this thursday. I figure this could be my last chance for the summer and need to do it.
