Re: NF Closure Extension? #permits - new rule: campfire permit needed
#permits
开云体育As per a new rule, a separate campfire permit is needed. I “picked up” a permit today, here’s a copy/paste from the email: ? We are in a new stage of fire restrictions – you will need a CA campfire permit to operate your stove – here is the link: ? CALIFORNIA STOVE PERMIT INFORMATION:

Re: Reds Meadow shuttle after National Forest reopening
#Transportation
Prior to the closure, the announced ending date for the Reds shuttle was September 12. I would recommend hiking over Mammoth Pass to Reds. The Lakes Basin shuttle is still operating until September 29 and will take you to Horseshoe Lake where the trailhead is located. It’s an easy day hike.?

Reds Meadow shuttle after National Forest reopening
#Transportation
Now that permits are opening in Reds Meadow valley, are the Reds Meadows shuttles operating?
I am taking YARTS and getting into Mammoth Lakes late in the evening next week. Is there a way to get to Devils Postpile Trailhead and camp at night before starting on the trail next morning? Alternatively, i could camp in New Shady Rest for the night. How do i get from the New Shady Rest campground to the Devils Postpile trailhead early next morning? Thanks for any advice. -Shan |

Re: NF Closure Extension?
#permits
开云体育Another update. The ranger just called me with the following: the official decision came down, and Thursday-Friday are day use. Backpacking trips can be started only on Saturday the 18th. …of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if any of all of this changes either way in the next 24-48 hours. ? ?

Re: Late Season Conditions
开云体育The main thing to consider is the shorter days, you will spend more time in your tent as it’ll be colder and darker earlier. ?You can get anything in terms of weather, I normally love that time of year - NO BUGS!!!Ian

Re: Late Season Conditions
I have only done this area in sept./oct. and temps were 60/70F daytime and 15/25F at night. Guitar was low teens as was the sunrise summit at Whitney. bring warm gloves. On Wed, Sep 15, 2021 at 9:17 AM John Girot <johnnyg72@...> wrote:

Re: Late Season Conditions
开云体育I doubt you’ll need microspikes but I would bring a sleep system that can handle temps in the teens, maybe some down booties in lieu of microspikes. Hopefully the smoke clears by then.John Girot On Sep 15, 2021, at 8:16 AM, Jeff Hargreaves & Meg Levine <jeff.harg@...> wrote:

Do you take the quiz where you pickup your permit? Or is this an online thing?
Found it:? |

Re: NF Closure Extension?
#permits
P.S. A campfire permit is required if you plan to use a stove. You have to watch a short video, and take an 8 question quiz. The permit is good through the end of the year.

Late Season Conditions
We have a permit for Onion Valley to Whitney Portal starting 9/27, exiting 10/2. I'm very familiar with the route but not this late in the season.
Any thoughts on temperatures and additional equipment we might need (re microspike)? Our last two nights will be at Guitar Lake and Trail Camp. Thanks, Jeff Hargreaves |

Re: Healthy Ramen noodles- a recommendation/tip
Try this brand of instant noodle if you like hot coconut curry broth. They have other flavors, like crab and shrimp. If you find them at an Asian market they're cheaper than Amazon; just used the link for the photos.?
We add freeze-dried chicken, spinach, and broccoli to the mix. It's epic as far as ramen goes. https://www.amazon.com/Prima-Taste-Singapore-Noodles-Packets/dp/B00JJOVDD6/ref=asc_df_B00JJOVDD6/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312193075834&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11569646181827844444&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004354&hvtargid=pla-568026373907&psc=1 |
