2008 NorCal FJs Trail Run Planner

potatomutato · 12-17-2007, 01:39 AM

Welcome to the 2008 NorCal FJ Trail Run Planner

This planner will assist NorCal FJs and visiting FJ-ers from other regions in scheduling and planning efforts. It will also include the annual FJ Summit as well as out-of-region trail runs planned by members of the NorCal FJ group.

Listed are weekend dates (Fri-Sun). Trail ratings are taken from three different sources: the Norcal TTORA site and the books Guide to Northern California Backroads & 4-wheel Drive Trails and Backcountry Adventures: Northern California. For more specific details regarding the ratings, please consult the resources listed above or post questions in the trail run threads.

I'll do my best to keep this thread up-to-date throughout the year. If you want to propose any trail runs, just start a thread or send me a pm.
