Topic: fire restrictions for the roundup?

[superyota]

i've been trying to find out if there are any fire restrictions on camp fires and stoves and what not for the roundup.  the latest thing i found was dated june 8, 2008.  doesn't anyone have some recent info on whether or not campfires will be allowed this year with a permit?

[BLACKDOG]

Campfires have never been allowed on the roundup, to my knowledge.  Camp stoves only, not even briquette style grills are allowed, as far as I know

according to this website, there are non.  http://rubicontrailpatrol.org/

i saw on another website though that the fire restrictions are in full effect.  i'm going to call the forestry office tomorrow and find out.

Rubicon Springs is private property. They do however follow the forest in fire restrictions.

That means no fires. You can and will be asked to leave the property for having one.

There will be a few Designated spots for fires like in Main Camp. If you are in doubt, do not have one.

you must also have a fire permit to operate a stove, lantern, or gas grill

Hey Scott what time are you heading up?

There is also a forestry service office on I think "Mill Run" or something road which is on the left after Pollock Pines and Fresh Pond.

Is there a station on the Tahoe side where we can get a permit for a propane stove and grille? 

[Georgetown_Local]

You can also pick up a Permit the Georgetown Ranger Station

[fordh8r]

Thanks, but it looks like we'll be stopping on the way up to get one either at the Placerville office or the Pollack Pines office.     The lady on the phone also said a permit could be obtained from a BLM office as well. So maybe I'll try to find a BLM office near home first and save the stopping time on the way up to Tahoe  .

Jason, you can issue camp stove permits???

[superyota [OP]]

[Weak-Link]

Well, if a camp stove permit is the same as a fire permit. then yes, I can.

Awesome!    seeing as I'm going to be passing the ranger stations after they've all closed, that'll make life much easier.
