2009 NorCal FJs Trail Run Planner

[potatomutato]

Welcome to the 2009 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. This planner may/may not include various other related activities such as recovery workshops, socials and install days. For more information, please consult the NorCal FJs website.

Dont know if this counts, but Spring Fling is April 16 - 19 in MOAB. We're going, and would love take a caravan of NorCal'ers with us. Owner is Moabbrat/Scott, or you can put me down as the NorCal organizer. Thanks
