Topic: CANVAZ V *CAMPING THREAD*

[xxSVxx]

Hey folks!

We're starting a new thread for those of us camping for CANVAZ V.

I'll be arriving in Big Bear some time Thursday afternoon and staying Thurs/Fri/Sat night.

One of the campgrounds suggested is http://bigbear.us/serranocampgrounds.html and that's where we stayed for CANVAZ II.

As it turns out, a majority of us have gotten sites here:

Please post in this thread so we can get a head count of how many are camping and what our approximate numbers will be; last time one man made reservations for the whole group, but with the timing of this thread, I am going to lean towards letting everyone make their own.

If you have any questions about camping, feel free to post up in this thread or PM me.

Looking forward to seeing you up in them mountains!!!

 2 trucks, 6 people........

 I'd like to reserve my spot pretty soon, since you want each of us to do it ourselves (Good idea) is there a general area you are talking about so were in the same vicinity? I just looked up Serrano Campground on the website. Looks like it is all full with no vacancies. Hanna Flat campground seems to have vacancies and is in a nice place, Plan B?

I got my space reserved....I suggest everyone else get on them quick!!

We camped there on Mother's Day this year - in the snow!  It is a nice campground with good access to the trails.  We were in site #57.  It was up higher than the others, but you had to carry everything up to the campsite from where you parked.  I am going for #60 this time.  I can back right into it to unload.

[Celt]

My buddy reserved a campsite there for us but not sure which one. I figure to show up sometime late morning very early afternoon on Saturday then get up for the run on Sunday and head back down to the grind.

[JFanaselle]

Changed my mind about driving up the hill, so I just booked a campsite. Camping details for my group:

Hanna Flat, site # 61 (right next to Sage Bromax and xxSVxx)
Friday night (9th) and Saturday night (10th)
4 adults, two vehicles (my Xterra and my cousin's F-150)

I won't be able to arrive until about 9:00 pm on Friday night, (stupid work, always getting in the way!), but my cousin will show up about 6:00 pm and set up camp. I'll have to head back down the hill Sunday afternoon to pick my kid up, so we'll break camp Sunday morning and make a short trail run before departing. Won't be able to participate in any Monday activities, unfortunately.

 Make sure you don't put any cheap beer in your cooler you should leave out because I hear the raiding "Bears" only like good beer. In fact I hear they prefer Lagunitas Hop Stoopid....

 My camp on the other hand is very stealth-like to prevent raiding bears from stickin their big noses into my cooler.

  See you guys out there!!

[JFanaselle]

Haha, remember... I only drink the cheap stuff! Bud Light for me. The good news is, if the bears want a bunch, it's super cheap and I can bring them an entire 36 pack if they want.

  Animal abuse to give bears Bud Light.............. Yogi is gonna exact some revenge man.

[RBduffer]

Hey do we have to sign up through REC.Gov and pay the $9 fee or is there a 'cheaper' way?


EDIT:  I got #59 for Fri and Sat, $71.

[jvr]

[RBduffer]

JVR, You can have 1/2 my spot, $35. for Fri and Sat night.
Just let me know.

[Toro]

Is there room on any site for another occupant?
   I cook, clean and give a mean foot rub. I got my technique down and everything, I don't be ticklin' or nothin'.

[Alex]

I just reserved #56, 1 rig/1 person for myself: Toro, you're welcome to join on the campsite, but I only have it for Friday night so far since I have to be down the mountain by Saturday night.
