I was just looking at the park website and noticed that there was an “alert”. It says that due to the fire danger all wood and charcoal fires are prohibited throughout the park. Only propane stoves are allowed. Hopefully there will be enough rain before we go, but if not any fires or grilling will be off the list.

Hi all. We have one group site reserved which holds up to 20 people and 5 vehicles. I think we’ll be ok fitting multiple bikes into 5 parking spots and there is additional parking at the store if they’re strict (there was plenty of parking last year).
There are 17 of us so far. Pease let me know if someone else is coming that’s not on the list:
Cindy Borgeson
Mark Borgeson
John Crittenden
Dave Eastly
Jacob Furgatch
Roberto Giraldes
Steve Hughson
Bikram Mann
Nicholas Okoneski
Chris Roady
Troy Stone
Michele Stone
Kelly Trip

Lots of info. Please read. (Sorry for the website text formatting.)
Please attend the November club meeting for up-to-date details.
GPX and PDF files are attached.
We have 17 campers and 3 others staying in nearby hotels. The camp fee is $5/night per person. Friday dinner and Sunday breakfast are included for an optional $15/person. Please let me know if you’re having dinner and what option you’d like. Just know there are no restaurants within 30 miles of the campground. There is a pretty good campsite store with some food and supplies. As of now there are no campfires or BBQ’s allowed in the campground – Bummer! This is a campout. Bring your own plates, utensils, etc.
Here’s the itinerary:
KSU, 8:15 am from Panera Bread, La Canada.
Friday lunch: Fast food in Taft. Everyone is on their own. It’s a major undertaking to feed 20 people in a restaurant so please stick to fast food.
Friday Dinner: Extraordinary campsite dinner brought to you by Chef Borgeson’s. Choose one of the following:
Pan fried ribeye steak in butter and olive oil with Monterey seasoning, corn on the cob and BBQ beans.
or Pan fried salmon filet in butter and olive oil, rice and green beans.
Bring a bottle of your favorite wine or beverage to share.Saturday Breakfast: 30m ride to Flap Jacks, http://flapjackstrespinos.com/breakfast/
Saturday options: Explore Pinnacles NP. Day hikes in Pinnacles or a day ride to Hollister or both.
Saturday Lunch: on your own
Saturday Dinner: Pot luck. Bring something to share. Last year we all brought dehydrated backpacking dinners. As terrible as that sounds they were really tasty. Bring whatever tickles your taste buds. Don’t forget the wine.
Sunday Breakfast: Fried or scrambled eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, and OJ. Eat up and get ready to ride home.
Sunday Lunch: Fast food in Avenal.
PS, we are driving a van if anyone needs us to bring anything.

Actually, the routes are somewhat reversed and slightly altered from last year. At least one new road, but all should be good (we’ll forget about the 5 to and from Frazier Park!). Ain’t a lot of options for a reasonable route, as evening will fall about 5 p.m. and I personally would like to be set up before darkness occurs!

We are staying in group site 132:Campground Map Link
The site has a limit of 20 people. We’re maxed out. If you haven’t signed up already you’ll need to make other camping arrangements. -
