[QUOTE="OrangevaleFJR, post: 301623, member: 548"] FIRE UPDATE: I called the ranger station and spoke with the ranger that patrols the Meadow Lake area. There are a couple things to know: 1) In the properly marked camp ground, wood fires in the fire rings are allowed. 2) Propane stove permits are required! If there is a flame, the person with the permit has to be there. This means it's best to get a number of these, they are free and available at Forest Service Stations and CDF Stations. I have some addresses for these. PM me if you need them. 3) There are been two sightings of bear in the area in the last month. The bears are having a hard year due to the drought and are coming lower to try to find easy pickings. Easy picking would be ANY food in your tents, or left in packs on the ground. The ranger recommends either locking the food in a vehicle with the windows tightly closed, or hanging it high in a tree (bring rope). This is serious, NO FOOD IN TENTS and I'd keep it off your body too unless you want a bear frisking you. 4) Meadow lake has rainbow trout for anyone that is a fisherman 5) Not all roads up there are legal. Technically, if they are not numbered then you aren't allowed on them. He says signs are often vadalized so more than anything he looks that you aren't a. Jumping water barriers to get to roads...this ticks him off big time b. going on roads that aren't marked and look overgrown If the road looks like it has been in continual use, then go for it. There are currently restrictions on this due to the fire hazard so expect enforcement to be strict. Also, please remember the backpackers credo: If you pack it in, pack it out. Don't leave trash behind. Perhaps the most convenient location (on the way) is the CDF station in Auburn. Open Mon-Fri 8-5 [URL="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&geocode=&q=cdf&near=auburn,+ca&ie=UTF8&ll=38.934126,-121.053221&spn=0.005667,0.00972&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A&om=1"]https://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&...wloc=A&om=1[/URL] There is also CDF downtown Sacramento at 1416 9th street Ranger Station in Nevada City if you are coming up 20: 631 coyote street Or Truckee: exit 188a (188B is before A) get off turn Left over freeway immediately on left in trees 9646 Donner pass road Thanks! Now back to our regularly scheduled program. [/QUOTE]
