It isn't that bad   I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt at night last year.  Never hurts to be prepared though

[Lady Di]

Jeans and a sweatshirt and I would have been It was WAY too cold for my thin blood. 72* is too cold for my blood.
It's all relative. If you like it cold then you're good to go, if you're like me you'll be miserable.

[Hyena]

It's not that cold at night.  I wore shorts and regular shirt on saturday night all they up till about 11pm.  then i put my sweatshirt on and still kept the shorts and it felt pretty good.  And i slept outside in my sleeping bag not even in a tent and i was actually kinda hot.  I don't expect it to get any colder in 3 weeks.

[BLACKDOG]

Bit off topic with the discussion,  but I think it'd be pretty cool if everyone put their board name on their windshield somehow.  Be it window paint, piece of paper taped to it, or a sticker, I think it would help different people Identify each other, even if they don't necessarily recognize the rig

Are you talking about last year Hyena? Or a recent experience?
Last year Fri. night was probably in the 40's and Sat. night it got cold enough to freeze whatever drinks we had left out, we had frost on our table when we were packing it up.
Hyena must have polar bear blood to have been warm in that.
But it doesn't mean the temps will be the same this year. Every handles temps different, just be prepared if cold bothers you.

  That's what I wanted to do last year. Then we joked about people swapping stickers. LOL! 

[BLACKDOG]

yeah, except people putting on coats, or taking off sweatshirts, or just changing, the stickers would get lost

Oh yeah, not to mention they would fall off then we'd have sticker garbage all over the trail.
OK bad idea. We'll just bring a bunch of permenent black markers and write 'Hello my name is _______ " on everyone's foreheads.

[79coyotefrg]

Thats just wrong Kyle , cant wait to meet you too Mrs Willy Mammoth

 

you cant miss her,  she's the one riding shotgun  in the yellow jeep with the PTO driven margarita machine

[BLACKDOG]

Nah, i was up there last weekend.  I hiked in with some friends.

I was thinking about spray painting my board name on my hood so people could tell it was me since i don't have a windshield anymore.

[Ramrod]

your gonna spray ain your name on your hood

It was cold as hell last year at night and im sure it will be again but thats what clothes, alcohol and that big fire were for.

If your wondering who i am at the roundup come and introduce yourself and i'll tell you my real name, does that sound about right?

[*FFC*]

I got a hat with big bold FFC embroidered on it.  Plus I'll be the only one in an Amigo.... with my screenname on the hood and on my gas skidplate

[BLACKDOG]

Sounds about right Pat, but putting a SN and real name together really help to figure out who people are :yupyyup:  Its ok though, if you wanna keep it a mystery, I won't tell

[mudaddict]

haha thats actually a good idea hyena has im thinking on the tailgate of my runner though!

[*** YELLER ***]

Question do we need a permit for our camp stoves  I know that for a camp fire it's in designated areas only w/ permit when its OK but I herd that we needed one for our stoves too, is this true and if so where do we get them 
You will know who I am by the large USMC flag flying... and I might have my Stereo a little loud 

 

[MiniSimp]

and I might have my Stereo a little loud 

I'd better not hear Bel Biv Devoe coming out of your speakers!

[*** YELLER ***]

Campfire Permits are designed for use on federally controlled lands including those falling under the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management, and private lands that are the property of another person. On private lands you must also have written permission from the landowner for campfire use.

Permits are required for open fires, such as campfires, barbecues and portable stoves.

Permits are subject to restriction by local authorities. The need for restrictions is reviewed almost daily during the summer months and permits may even be suspended without advance notice. Permittees must check with local authorities each time they go out to an area.

Permits can be issued by the US Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Park Service (NPS), and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF).

Always:

Clear all flammable material away from the fire for 10 feet in all directions to prevent escape of the fire.
Have a shovel available at the campfire site for preparing and extinguishing campfires.
Have a responsible person in attendance at all times.
Extinguish campfires with water, using the drown, stir, and feel method.

hey MINI how about Yani

Any El Dorado Nat'l forest station or CDF station can issue campfire permits.  I'm not sure if you need one to have a stove or not

Portable stoves? Hmmmm...





Yani is ok.

[Willy Mammoth]

What is the fine for not having a permit and using your stove?

[Lady Di]

Are the talking like our two burner propane stove? Dang cali's !

And in regard to people introducing themselves and telling you who they are, that would be great! As long as we are with the Mammoth everyone knows who we are, of course, and Last year we had SO many people coming up and going 'THE MAMMOTHS hey get to meet you' without actually telling us who they were, like we should just know, especially in the dark!
I kept having to ask "and you are?"

Anyhoo... please do come up and introduce yourselves, I want to meet as many as we can this year.

[Lady Di]

Yani is ok.

     we will camp far from you!     Don't forget the AC/DC!

well that splains that. I do hope it is warmer this year then last but not hot.

[Ramrod]

weve been having some rager fires up there lately without a permit and nobody ever said anything.  Plus im sure marlin already took care of that.   I'll make sure to bring at least 1 full garbage can of some fine hardwood to burn on sat night
