July 2022 Club Run - July 21-24; Eastern Sierras! (1 Viewer)

[DirtyRice Joe]

Thursday, 7/21, will be a travel day with an overnight in the Bishop area, for those wish. Some members will be meeting for breakfast (optional) at Jack's Restaurant, 437 N. Main Street, Bishop, at 7:30 AM. Our Driver's Meeting (not optional!) will be in the parking lot for Bishop City Park, at 8:30 AM. The BCP parking lot is behind the Carl's Jr., across from Schatt's Bakery.

Friday & Saturday will be trails during the day, and camping overnights. I still haven't firmed up the itinerary, but I've done a lot of research, and there are many trails in the area for us to choose from. Our final trail selections will depend on rig/driver capability of those who attend. As always, our goal is a fun and exciting time, without beating up our trucks unnecessarily! Will we head west from Bishop? Or, north towards Mammoth & Lee Vining? Somewhere else? Come to the run and find out. Wherever we go, it will be fun!

Club VP Marc Mason is heading up early to get in a few days of Eastern Sierra fishing, and he's invited anyone else who's interested to join him. Marc will be staying at the El Rancho Motel, in Bishop, though there are many other lodging opportunities in Bishop, as well.

I'll let Marc handle posting any details for Thursday dinner, if you're so inclined.

Sunday, 7/24, will be a travel day home. This should be a very fun trip, so if you'd like to attend, please be sure to block these days out on your calendar!

Do we have a rough idea yet on which trails? Was doing some research and looks like some nice trails up there: Coyote Flats via Coyote Valley Road, Silver Canyon Road, Glass Flow and Obsidian Dome, hot springs near Crowley Lake, Crowley Lake Trail (East), Laurel Lakes Road, etc. Hoping to be able to join you all and get time off from work to do this trip, but it's looking like I won't know until closer to departure date.
