The "classic" S24O is a stealthy, technically illegal, but not immoral or unethical sleepout in the hills, and works easiest when everybody is tiny, fast, wears black hoodies, and can pedal over rice paper without ripping it. This ideal is never achieved, but the image of it is good to keep in mind as the group gets bigger.There have been cutbacks in rangership due to budget cuts, and that plays well for us illegals for sure, but there's no guarantee. Pick a route (Tony? Manny?) and it'll be neat! There are reservable legal campsites.
For a smooth takeoff, it'll be good for all who go to be camping gear independent (I posted my recommended gear checklist a few days ago, but of course it's totally personal. It's super handy to know how to set up the tent you're sleeping in, and to have stakes for it. Spikey stakes will work better than the big yellow ones, unless have something to pount them in with. Liesl, tell me what you'll need to borrow, and tentwise---you'll get all the help you need (way too much trouble to haul all the gear needed for an S24O). Anne, there is CalTrain to SF, then BART. I've taken CalTrain only once and don't know any more about it than that it goes between the SoBay and SF...but I hope you get a ride!
