$10 a site IIRC. Sites are big enough for a couple of campers though.

Are there enough picnic tables? And how much gas per machine do you normally go through? Don't know how hard you push it. Plus any "must have" stuff I wouldn't think of. Look forward to hanging out with you guys, and puttin on some miles.
Gets chilly at night, if you get cold bring a heater. No running water that I know of, but they do have vault toilets. Picnic tables are one per site, so if you're sharing with someone else, it might get crowded. I would bring at least enough gas to run a tankful every day you plan to be there.

Second on the dust mask, it was BAD last year.

Bring a chair per person. Firewood if you have it, but we usually do OK there.

All I can think of right now.

Well depending your riding style and who you try to keep up with, you might want to bring a spare frame, maybe a radiator, spare tires, spare wheels and enough oil and filters to flush your system a few times. :lol:

Seen that picture before, but I never figured out how you would break your A-arm on THAT trail. Nice thing about having two ATVs up there is that is one breaks, I guess my son doesn't get to ride. :( I figured a tank a day, but didn't know if you had some 150 miler planned. We aren't complete virgins at this, so I think we'll be O.K.

Also curious as to when people got there on Friday. Didn't know if you met up in Little Truckee to go in. Got a sister with a place in Tahoe City we can spend Thursday night if you get going early Friday. Been down the paved road to Jackson Meadow Res numerous times, but don't recall a Meadow lake turn-off. I'll fugure that out one with the GPS and my National Geographic map. This sounds like a blast, and I can't wait to pick all your brains about ATV stuff and pick up riding pointers.

Some people will be there Thursday night, others arriving at various times on Friday. The big group ride is on Saturday with smaller rides on Friday and Sunday.

Also if you set your Trip meter, my directions are dead on.

Amazingly, I will actually be home this time, so I'll come up for the day at least. Where's the big ride heading to?
