Yep, Another run before the snow sets in.
Sept 20 and 21. Anyone wants to join, come on!

Location: Loope Canyon turn off from Hi 89 (about 2 miles east of the 89-4 junction, just south of Markleeville)

Time: 11:00
There is an out house and warm springs and 'Foot Fiddlers' built one picnic table. Great time of year for those interested in fishing!

4x4 required, but stock vehicles should do fine.

Hope you don't mind Gary, but I edited this thread so that we can use it for the club trip. I didn't want to start a new thread. Thanks!
I.D.M.N.

I will try...

Here's the NCCX sign-in, just add your name to the list.

I have plans on sunday and so I can't make it a weekend trip. I understand that the distance (from the East Bay) is too far to be completed in a day trip.

I wonder if it would be better if I drove up on friday evening. Stayed at a local motel and then met up with you sometime on saturday. Would I make it home on saturday night at a decent hour?

Consider me off the possible list, I'm going! I may drag a couple of people from school with me

KJ: I'm not sure on the drive times so someone else would have to let you know, but I would think you would be able to make it home at a reasonable hour (depending on your definition of that). Maybe there is somewhere you could stay in Markleeville which is close by...Like: HERE Hope that helps,

Glad you can make it Charlie, together we can probably find the way in there.
KJ and any others; I'll be in Friday mid morning playing, so I can meet anyone later Fri afternoon that wants to leave Saturday morning.

Got space (and patience) for a 4 x virgin? After some ummmm stuff at home, I'm now *FREE* to get involved. Every silver lining has a cl.... oh wait, how does that go again?

:p -Patrick

Sure.......

sweet... I'll see if I can find one.

Hey all, is this still on?
It sounds like way too much fun & I'd like to join if possible....
(PS: I joined NCCX years ago but never made time for an outing...hopefully better late than never applies here???)
Also: Hello Roberta (gx_ca)? Are you there? Are you thinking of going???

Yep, it's on...
Just sign up and show up!
Hope you can make it..

Excellent!
I'll add patrickmb to the sign-up as well....

Lets use FRS 7 sub 1 and CB13. CYA at the Loope turnoff from 89 at 11:00. Bring fishing gear if you're into that.

Anyone want to caravan up? I can meet up with someone(s) wherever.

Damn! I'm out, some last minute pain in the ass stuff came up. I might as well put street tires back on :rolleyes:

I guess we are down to 3? ... and 2 of us are newbies (kinda). Bull, want to hook up down in the south bay?

Yeah, we should meet up.
If you're coming from 1/2 Moon Bay, San Jose may be too far out of your way. I'll be going up HWY 680 from HWY 101. I'm not sure what your best route is, but one idea would be to meet in Milpitas or south Fremont (so I think you'd take 101->237->880)...I think the drive would be ~3.5 hours from there (please someone correct me on this if wrong).

I don't mind driving to wherever to meet. We could meet at the In-N-Out at Mcarthy Ranch, if you like. (I think thats Milpitas). I really don't know how long it will take to get up there. If it is about 3 1/2 hours.... and we're meeting at 11:00... maybe leaving milpitas around 7-ish ? Olebiker, you sure ur up for us? lol.

Why don't you guys meet @ McDonald's right off of Santa Rita Exit on East bound I-580? (What city is that? Dublin?)

It should be on your way, and about the same distance/time for both of you to drive to get there...

Hey Olebiker,
Sign me up...I'm in!

I am leaving Friday between 3:30pm to 4pm...I should be arriving sometime between 6:30pm to 8:00pm, depending on Friday night traffic.

Are you camping Friday night as well? If So, where are you guys camping at? I'd like to join you! If not, would you like to?

Thanx & Let me know

Yup, that sounds like a better plan than meeting in Milpitas. I am assuming that Patrick will be coming over 92. If you meet in Dublin (or whatever), then Patrick won't have to backtrack to the south. Xterrabull could just take 680 to Dublin and meet there.

Agreed; 92->237 is a bit of a drive for no good reason. Sound good patrickmb?
Any idea how far the trailhead is from there?

Andy, glad you can make it, Charlie, sorry dude...Yeah I'm going up Fri morning and do the run in, then come back out Sat morning to meet the rest. I'll be camping at the trail's end on the River.
For those meeting in Dublin, here\' s a map. Here\'s another version.
It's always a drag for one woman to go on these outings with just guys. So, are any of you bringing a lady friend/wife/S.O. or would it make a difference to them to know other ladies would be there?

Sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion. What time should we meet there?

If anyone wants to coordinate or chat more directly... I can be reached at patrickmb29@hotmail.com and I'd be happy to give out my phone # there.

Olebiker, those maps are for Dublin to Markleeville. Just to make sure: the plan is to meet at 11:00 AM Saturday at the Loope Canyon turn off from HWY 89, right?
Patrick, I think we should probably try to meet at 7:00 AM; it seems 4 hours is a more realistic travel time. Can you swing it?
