2022 First Annual 70s in the Sierras (was FJ45 Run) (1 Viewer)

[orangefj45]

September 2nd thru 5th

The previous “FJ45 Run” will now morph into a 70-Series camping wheeling trip.
The event will take place at Meadow Lake which is northwest of Truckee.
We have reserved the two large Meadow Knolls Group Camp Sites. They'll each accommodate up to 25 people.
Tahoe National Forest - Meadow Knolls Group Camp - https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tahoe/recreation/ohv/recarea/?recid=55634&actid=93

DIRECTIONS:
From I-80 at Truckee take exit Hwy 89 towards Sierraville, go approximately 14.7 miles. Turn left at Forest Service Road 07 aka Fiberboard Road. Look for sign to Webber Lake and travel 9.5 miles. Turn left onto Forest Service Road 86 aka Meadow Lake Road (dirt road) continue for 9.4 miles to reach Meadow Lake. High clearance vehicles recommended. DO NOT GPS your way there. You’ll get lost.

From Sierraville: Travel south on Hwy 89 for 11 miles to Forest Road 7. Turn right and travel west to the Meadow Lake turnoff. Turn left on Forest Road 86 which becomes Nevada County Road 843 traveling south for approximately 10 miles. Most of the route is paved, but the last few miles are unpaved and becomes very rough.

PARK REGULATIONS:
Check in is 2:00 p.m. and check out is 11:00 a.m.
Quiet Hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Please do not operate generators, vehicles, audio equipment, talk loudly, or make noise that could interfere with those sleeping.
Additional fees are charged for additional vehicles when space allows.
There is a daily charge for each pet.

Update: Due to circumstances surrounding COVID there will not be a raffle this year. We hope to bring the raffle and prizes back in the future.

If you are bringing dogs, please remember there are other people here. If your dogs bark, please camp away from others and be respectful to everyone else attending this event.
Feel free to ask questions, I know I left a bunch of info out. All rigs are welcome, you don't have to show up in a 70series, any cruiser is welcome. And we’ll even make exceptions for non-cruisers.

Hope to see you there!

Georg,

Very interested ! Do you make reservations for us or do we make individual reservations via PGE who runs the site ?
Thanks, Jonathan

edit: so, it looks like you cannot make reservations, it’s first come, first served ? Since it’s Labor Day weekend, how do we know we’re all gonna fit in ?

Hmm, an "Old Threads" revival hijack? Cool.
IIRC, the 45 run at Deer Valley was originally the 55 run at Deer Valley which later became the 55/45 run at Deer Valley which then became the 45 run at Deer Valley because it was Georg's Birthday or something. And he's better at organizing stuff.

I love @Pighead s little hijack here…

This was the T-shirt from I think my second pig run…

I have heard that the forestry has really smoothed out the road into meadow lake this year I will be down there in 2 weeks for Sierra trek . For those that do not know meadow lake is at the end of the Fordyce trail winch hill 5 . There are some other trails that are pretty mild there as well

Only time that I attended the event, just seems like I've always got other plans that weekend. Maybe this year I'll bring the 75 down.
