Hybrid Tacoma's welcome? I have a tonneau cover on order and should be here and installed before this trip. I've already removed the ARB sport bar (pictured). Can't have that and a cover. Cover is more important to secure camping gear!

Bring your rods, I heard there are streams and lakes in the area.
If I'm not too busy trying to figure out where we're going, you can teach me to fish for a day......

Tonneau cover arrived and I installed it this morning. Now I need to figure out how to best put in my camping gear and secure it! I like it better without the ARB bar.
Planning to be there. 2 people and maybe 2 rigs, no hybrids.
Planning to be at camp #2 Thursday and fishing on Friday. Will join up when group arrives Friday afternoon
Nice short history on shaver lake: shaver lake history

I called and check conditions with High Sierra Ranger District (559) 855-5355. A few housekeeping items:
- We will find and camp three nights at 37.09104, -119.16467 or a nearby location depending on availability.
- Camping is disperse, fire permit is required for propane stove with shutoff valve.
- No campfire.
- If you are fishing, be sure to check with local authority for fishing license requirement.
- All roads in the Bald Mountain area are open as of today.
- Roads to Dinkey TrailHead are open and hiking to Mystery Lake is allowed for day use, permit required to stay inside wilderness area.
- Bring sunscreen, bug spray, assorted beverage, plenty of water, good food, and a positive attitude.
- Be sure your rig has recovery points on both ends, a spare tire, key for your wheel lock if equipped, jack to lift vehicle, and basic hand tools.
- Have fun in 4Low.
I’m interested in going. Camping will be dispersed in different areas? Any requirements for rig on these trails? What’s is the meet up time on Thursday?

The area is classified by the forest service as dispersed camping as opposed to improved or other types of camping. Your rig needs to be in good working order, if you drive up there it should be fine but if you tow it there, we’ll have to check. Frame mounted recovery points on both front and back are a must for the trails. You can still camp if you don’t have them. I’m planning to meet up between 12-1 pm.

Sign me up for the convoy.

I don’t know how to get it from OnX. But we’ll run to Bald Moutain route to these coordinates 37.10511, -119.20354.
To get to Mystery Lake, we drive to Dinkey Trailhead at these coordinates 37.15137, -119.10437 then hike in. My winch is out of commission until I can get a control box for it so I will be very conservative with what I will tackle
FYI, Alltrails reviews for the Mystery Lake hike report mosquitos are an issue this time of the year, so make sure to bring plenty of repellent.
I will be there, maybe I can meet you for breakfast
I was hoping to make it up but rig is getting long range tank in it and it’s not done yet. I’ll try to make it to the meeting and on the next trip. Excited to get involved.
