so far it looks like its 15+ rigs coming... I can tell you that they will probably all be a bit spread out since there is no one camp site that will accommodate all of us.. but... if were lucky we could all be right next to each other adjacent to the river...
Lets just hope that none of the spots on that side of the river are all ready taken. The far side of the river will hold 20ish vehicles by my rough estimation.

It could be possible that arriving Friday we can get lucky.

we arrived Fri last year and got the perfect spot at the end of the trail right next to the river....

Attention!
I just got off the phone with one of the Park Rangers. She told me that Monache Meadows trail is not going to be open for a "while". Apparently the river water is too high to cross and that there is a lot of damage to the road from water and snow. I asked if she thought it would be open in a few weeks and she said probably not.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated....
We can always postpone the trip until sometime end of june or early july. Or we can all go somewhere else.... What do you guys think? I did hear that Bodie is now open which is also on my bucket list. I'm open to suggestions.....

Definitely postpone. I can't do Bodie as my son wont be healed yet and that is too much ground to cover on crutches. I am open to other ideas.
We can postpone it. I definitely want to visit monache. Im also up for another spot since i have that weekend off already lol

Ok lets postpone it until July... Ill keep in contact with the rangers to see what date the trail will be open.
As for another spot I'm open to suggestions... It will be too hot to be in the desert and our group is too big for any of the yellow post sites in big bear. Anyone else know a spot where we can all fit?

Ok I have searched for a place that can accommodate us all and the one place that i like is Los Cayotes camp ground located in the Indian Reservation. It costs 25 a night but it really is a nice campsite.. very little people know of this place. we have been here before with our kids and they loved it... you can camp underneath the trees and there is a large wide open space for the kids to play in...
here is the address:
2300 Camino San Ignacio
Warner Springs, CA, 92086
Ill post some pictures on the next post from our last trip here....

Here is the new thread for the Los Cayotes Camping weekend.... https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/los-cayotes-campground-june-9th-11th.7137/
As far as Monache Meadows is concerned I will be keeping in contact with the rangers in June to figure out when the trail will be open and then reschedule the tripo....

Do you think the rangers would be interested in a volunteer crew to help repair and open the trail. Could be a fun work / play weekend.
Bummer to hear that the trip is a no go. Me and Ummdavid will keep an eye on the thread for when the trails open back up. Unfortunately since we are in the Bay Area, San Diego is a little to far for us. We might just stay in the area or travel north instead. Thanks a lot Raul B for all the planning you did and all the calls you made. I know it takes up time.
Thanks
