Here we go....
Looking at the weekend of the 08/15
I would be camping at Kennedy Meadows on the night of the 15th.
http://goo.gl/maps/PZhGe We can meet at Kennedy or Black Rock on the morning of Sat the 16th.
http://goo.gl/maps/6MTv4 To make it out to Monache at a good time, we need an early start.
There is a small general store between the two spots for any last minute supplies.
Head out to Monache and see where the day takes us. Camp in Monache on the 16th and home on the 17th.
This is a stock 4wd friendly road. I recommend removing mudflaps but that's about it. All are welcome to join, just be cool and bring a CB. No buts about it....we all need to be (at least) on CB.
I'll be bringing my whole family and you are welcome to too.
Any takers?
