Here are the directions, etc. We plan to meet at the Ranger Station, #1 Pinecrest Lake Road
Pinecrest, CA 95364. We will depart the Ranger Station at 2pm and should be camped somewhere by about 4pm. At the Ranger Station we can make the last check on roads. I spoke to several people today and although there is still lots of snow higher up, the route we will be on should be fine.
