I am going, too. I have never been, and I am looking forward to seeing that part of the Sierras.

I'm gonna try! Hoping for a Dusy run....

Dusy is the goal but just depends on snow melt.

Too much snow for Red, or Swamp Lakes?

The Main trail is going to hopefully be Dusy during the week. The Friday/Saturday trails are probably going to be Bald Mountain and Red/Coyote lake. I believe Swamp Lake is a backup for Dusy.

What are the rig requirements for this run? Can I attend in my lame little TJ on 33" tires?

yes of course.

yes of course.

If Dusy is the jam count me in. It has been on my bucket list for twenty years but for some reason it hasn't happened.

We are still working out details like pricing, run schedule, designs, but wanted to post some sort of update.

I think that if Dusy has snow issues Swamp probably will too since it peaks at almost 10k feet between Grouse and Swamp lakes. But either will work if I can make it.

 

[EricsXJ]

Not that this means anything, but I prefer Swamp over Dusy.
