Wow Weds already. I like how small this thing is. I did see a note "may not operate above 7k ft" I guess we shall see.

Which camp spot will you guys be posting up at? I saw that there are two potential spots you scoped out, Coyote Creek Campsite and the other one to the North East?
I'm trying to work things out so I can come up Friday morning, but will have to head back Sunday, unfortunately.

It is the one misspelled canp spot, cluster of trees off of main trail.

I have to the same... I get off work at like 0800 maybe a bit sooner if you want to caravan.

I will post a less ambiguous picture. We will also make sure to have comms monitored to help guide you in.

@Justin Zwick I need to leave Sunday as well (work trip to Florida) I can't decide if I want to go up Friday early am or head for a few days before and hangout around June lake.

Folks, note the spot "Large Open Flat Camping". That I believe is the same camp spot used in the video I posted. If you were to set your GPS to Funnel Lake, and Google will get you there, you will pass this place on your right. I am sure you will be able to get us on comms, likely see rigs, if at night fires going, etc... There is a pond that will likely be dried up but the outcropping of trees tends to stand out making it an easy spot to find.

Here is an image that also shows the climb from the floor to the plateau.

Here are directions to the campsite....

Question about the fishing. What type of setup is everyone using? I need to buy some trout fishing gear.

 

[elripster]

I am not exactly the best fisherman but I will bring trout bait and lures.

Being a Marine don't you guys use hand grenades?

So it's like benny Ha Ha's , you could throw back your head open your mouth and try to catch the fish on the way down?

What size are tiny hooks? We talking treble or regular hooks? I'm going to get my fishing license this week and will prob pick up some new fishing gear, since I don't have any at all.

Update on bugs, this is somewhat near where we will be.
