Thanks Dean you always take care of us. Your work doesn't go unnoticed... J/K

Newbie Rover guy here. (Don't throw anything!)

Saw a post from Akio over on muddyoval.com about this and I'd like to help out.

I can take three people in my Discovery II.

And camping doesn't sound bad, either, if you folks would let me tag along.

Thanks,

Hi Stu,

Nice to see that more people can help out the event. We'll see you at Concord meeting spot.

Welcome! Thanks for helping us out! We'd love to have you come join us.

Does "newbie Rover guy" mean you're a Rover guy who's a newbie to XOC, or a guy who's a newbie to Rovers? :p

Akio- thanks for spreading the word!

update on change of plans. I will be coming up by myself which will still be 3 kids, however Ron and friend (Peter) with the surburban will have to follow us in. Peter won't be getting into SF until 1117 Saturday morning. Military, what can we say? So see you all in Truckee @ 1015. Christi

"...Does "newbie Rover guy" mean you're a Rover guy who's a newbie to XOC, or a guy who's a newbie to Rovers?..."

Ah, that is kind of unclear :p .

I'm new to this board and have had my Rover for about 9 months.

Thanks for the welcome!

Also, do we need more trucks? I'm on two other Rover norcal boards and could probably scare up a few more trucks, short notice and all.

LMK

I got a message from the camp director, and she thinks we're gonna have enough vehicles to cover their transportation requirements. So, I think we're good to go!

Yeah... As long as we can get up early for it...

I'm going to meet up with y'all at the Auburn stop.

I'll be on CB 22 in a burgundy Discovery with GA plates.

Can't wait!

I'll see you at Auburn. Glad to see you joining us... (9:15)am

I will meet you up in Auburn. See you then!

Any idea where we will camp Saturday night?

Here are GPS coordinates and maps for this weekend. The info below is merely for your reference, if you'd like to plug in the data into your GPS unit. I will pass out printed handouts with the maps, trail description, etc. in Truckee.

Also, we'll be camping somewhere along the trail or near Packer Saddle (refer to Gold Valley map). It's possible that the camping location may not have water or toilets, so be prepared. I'll be bringing my PETT portable toilet just in case.

***Note: You may be asked to transport wheelchairs or other gear, possibly on your roof. If you care about your paint, bring an old blanket, towels, etc. to prevent scratches.
