Battle On The Mountain - Mount Pinos/Los Angeles Aug 7th - 9th

Dagorhir Overnight Battle


Mt.Pinos - Chula Vista campground

Saturday, August 8, 2009 - 12:00 pm - Sunday, August 9

"The monsters came from the dark woods to prey upon the villagers and cattle. Rise, warriors, to defend our homeland and drive the beasts back to the depths of hell!"

We're asking all able bodied warriors and friends to come to this battle at Mt. Pinos. Dagorhir Aggelgorod welcomes all groups to join the fray. Check out the Dagorhir Rule Book and bring along a Dagorhir Waver if you don't already have one on file.

The weather should be anywhere from 40-60 degrees, so dress warm, and bring food and water. Bear in mind that we'll be walking a few hundred yards into the woods, and the air is thin, so don't bring too much stuff.

To reach the battle site from the Chula Vista parking lot: It's easy- just follow the trail of Green Ribbons (just to the right of the ski patrol building), follow this trail to the Chula vista campground (this is a few hundred yards). When you reach the campground (there is a sign, and outhouses to the left), continue walking straight, keeping to the high ground. (the main path veers to the right). There is very little undergrowth- this is easier than it sounds. About two hundred yards in, you'll reach the edge of the plateau, and you'll see a large pile of boulders. This is where we'll be staging- look for the banner.

Remember- to park at the Chula Vista parking lot (which is the highest lot at the top of the mountain) you will need one $5 adventure pass per car. these are available at Big 5 sporting goods stores, at the big liquor store in Frazier park, and they should also be available at the ranger station in the parking lot.

Directions to Mount Pinos:

Take the 5 fwy North out of Los Angeles & the San Fernando Valley towards the Tejon Pass. Exit at Frazier Park (first exit past Gorman). Turn left at the off ramp & head West. Stay on Frazier Mountain Road for 6.9 miles. Continue on when Frazier mtn road becomes Cuddy Valley Rd. Cuddy Valley road continues up to the top of Mt Pinos till the Chula Vista campsite at the end of the road. Park & follow the dirt path to the right of the Winter time ranger station campsite!
