Ron and I are going to have to pass on this trip. We have family coming into visit that we didn't know about. So we will see you at Incline Vallage. Which we do need to set up a meeting point near Sacramento.

I may have to turn this into a one night trip due to work deadlines (may have to work on Monday). Is this the kind of trail that I could head back out on my own on if I were to leave late Sunday afternoon? How much time from the campsite back to the pavement/highway?

Thanks

That's too bad that you might have to work. The trail is easy enough to get back out. It's about 45-60 minutes to reach asphalt from the campground.

Yeah tell me about it.....I am just hoping work doesn't ruin my entire weekend. Hour back to pavement isn't that bad.....could have an early dinner and then head out on Sunday. At least it still gives me a chance to go.

I can't take off Friday

But I can lead the Sat group in if you guys want to go in early. Dean, just send me diretions to get to the trail head and I can do the rest.

Any other takers? Matt, Josh, you guys still in?

Sorry it took so long to answer this one. Up until about 30 minutes ago I had to work this weekend. Thankfully I have been able to get it off. I got to thinking "Hey, I'm the boss. I'll just schedule someone else." So I did.

Anyway, Dean, where and when do you want to meet?

Glad you can make it josh (don't forget stickers! )!

On Friday, we're planning to meet up with Connie's family at their home in Penn Valley, about 15 minutes west of Grass Valley on Hwy20. Connie's dad and 4 of his kids (Connie's step-siblings) are coming, too. We won't be able to leave their home until all of their kids get home from school (probably around 3pm). From there, it's about 2 hours to the trailhead, and 45-60 minutes to the campsite.

So, I don't know where to meet if you're leaving Friday. If you don't mind waiting/caravanning from Penn Valley, you can meet us there.

Otherwise, I'm not sure when/where to rendezvous. This link highlights the route we'll take from their house to the campground.

Me too. Josh, are you still taking requests for food? If so, Connie wants something yummy and chocolately from a Dutch oven!

Change of plans for me. Connie's family can't leave Friday after all, and Connie has to work on Friday, so I'll be heading up on Saturday as originally planned.

Josh and Patrick, if you still want to leave Friday anyway, I think I've provided enough info, GPS coords, etc. on page 1 of this thread to get you to the campground.

The best campsites that can accomodate our group, provided they're not occupied, are towards the west end of the campground.

My plans are now up-in-the-air a bit and I'm not sure if I will be going or not. I may be travelling to Oregon this weekend. Sorry to waffle. I will get it nailed down by tonight.

So, it looks like I am going in solo on Friday. Good thing I have a puppy with me.

Stickers, got-em
Something chocolately from a dutch oven, I will see what I can do. I lent my d.o.'s to a friend, so I will need to get them back.

As to the camping spot. I will go to the gps you posted and find the best site I can. West end you say, no problem. Which way is west :rolleyes:
j/k

Josh.....what stickers are you referring to?

Yeah, what stickers????

No stickers in paticular...

I can say that you can have a free one if you attend this trip or the Xterra Champs event.

Yup! see you there.

I can't believe you guys are all worked up over some stickers. Geez, they only look like this:

Dude Dean you weren't supposed to show them what the stickers look like!!!

BTW, they are the puffy ones with glitter on them. Bet you guys can't wait!

Oh and they are JDM!!!

Can I have some, too? Please, please, please.

Just confirmed I will be going to Oregon. Sorry to miss this one guys. Have a great time. I hope to come out ASAP on another weekend. (any other weekend)

As of now I am still in by the skin on my teeth. Will see you guys and gals at 11:00ish up at Marysville Walmart Saturday morning.
