Feeler for a CA gathering

John that is a sweet spot. Lots of trees in the back with a meadow in the front. Lets hit this spot. Any creeks for fishing, walking distance???

There is a very small creek not too far away, but I would not consider it walking distance; you would definitely want to drive. I don't know if there are any fish in it, although it does have a few salamanders with bright orange bellies.

This spot is only about 100 yards off the paved road, but there are some good ruts in the last part of the dirt road right before the grassy area. When I go there to get mileage information, I will see how the access is now. At worst you would have to park 50 yards away, but hopefully a normal 2WD car would be able to make it OK.

It is located just a couple miles north of the Hartland Christian camp, on the same road, so for starters we can use their location map to get a general idea. I always take the 198-216-Dry Creek Rd-Stagecoach Rd-Eshom Valley Rd route to get there. I don't know how the access is from the north, I have never taken that route.

Or this one looks better:

Don't let the nice smooth lines of the roads on the map fool you - once you get halfway up Dry Creek Rd, it is all winding narrow roads.
 
Now to throw a wrench in the works - I see that May 2 is being tossed around as the probable date. Something came up this morning that would preclude my attendance on May 1-2. If everyone else is set on that date, no biggie. I can still post the concise directions after going up there in two weeks. As things now stand, there are only two weekends between now and the middle of May when I can't make it - April 3-4, and May 1-2.
 
I don't really care what date we pick for the trip. I can go pretty much anytime since I don't have a real job. It would be nice if my fellow Visalian, Lambertiana can make it though since he's the one who came up with the location. Maybe we can make it like mid April, maybe the 18the or something.
 
MtnfolkMike can't make 4/18. How would people feel about 5/9? Maybe someone with better computer skills than I have (none!!!) and/or the help of a moderator could post a sticky poll with the heading "Dates for BushBash I" and see what the responses are?

4/25 is the only date that's a "no go" for me. Everything else is fine.

the week of 5-2 worked out best for us... i think the misses had already looked into taking some time off then too...:(
 
Sorry im late to be back...Been away trying to stay busy. 4-11 might be more of a problem to some people with taxes and stuff. I would like to have an many people as we can show up. For me im more flexible as long as i plan my work atlist a month ahead.
Mike i know its not exactly right but can you move the date a week back??? If you cant then we would stick to the 5-2.

Sasha
 
I hope you guys dont mind that i bumped this thread to keep more to the top.

Sasha
 
So are we sticking to May 2? Like I said, I don't care what day. I just want to be sure we do this. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun hanging out with fellow knife knuts!
 
i don't think we can push it back another week.. sorry...:o please do not go out of your way on our behalf... if everyone else can't make May 2nd... then we'll have to catch the next get-together... no worries...

once a date is finalized.. i'll see if there's anything we can do..
 
Hey Mike lets keep it on the 5-2. You already got the time off for that date so lets keep it there. Maybe John could join us for a day or two. Come on guys lets hear who else is showing up... John if you can make it that would be great, been wanting to meet you as well. Sorry i havent been on here much the last few days.. But im back.. I want to make this thing a reality.

Sasha
 
Perhaps someone with a higher membership status could post a poll asking "Will you attend BushBash I on May 2, 2009?" followed by "yes" and "no" boxes to check and a way to list names (or something like that). We could then collect a list of anticipated attendees in one place.

If it is on 5/2 I can drive up that morning for a few hours. I have to be in Visalia in the evening on 5/1, and I have to be back in Visalia by around 3 or so on 5/2.
 
I might be able to set up a poll since I have a knifemaker status membership. Should I try to set up a poll to see who's going? Are we set on 5/2?
So far we only have like 4 people attending. Hopefully we get a few more.

we're in..:thumbup: that's 4 right there...:o i'm sure a few more folks will be into going... i'll call some local (BF)people too...:D

this is N.F. land correct?? i am getting a new 12 gauge soon and would love to take it out..
 
Ray,

Last I communicated with Sasha, 5/2 looked like the consensus date. If you are willing to set up a poll, I think it would help tally the attendee count.

Thanks,

You can count me in. I cannot say with 100% certainty I can go due to work scheduling, but I will do what I can to make that date. If you need contact info PM me.
