Spring CA Gathering Above Visalia: 4/30-5/2/10

man.. i wish we could make it....:( we have so much stuff going on right now, it's rediculous... this is usually a very busy time of year for us...:mad:

i hope you all have a blast.. we had such a great time at the last gathering.. my boys are still talking about it..:D
 
Current forecast is for rain Tuesday and Wednesday, with the weekend partly cloudy and temps in the 60s. That is the valley forecast, so it will be a little cooler there, but not by much. It's not very high, a little over 4000'.
 
Who else is planning on showing up.. i would like to hear from the ones that show up not the the ones that wont.. maybe this time we should BBQ the chicken legs.. Im making a list of what i should bring as i always forget something. Got some yucca leaves to practice making cords. Need to find my fire drill to practice fire making.. Havent practiced that for too long... Been a slacker latly with work and life..
See ya all at the camp ground..

We should be arriving on saturday, hopefully before noon.

I know some kids are coming. Would it be worthwhile to bring some of the airguns for a "low noise" shooting session?
 
Unfortunately, I have experienced a disruption in The Force. After 18 years and 136,000 miles of crawling up mountain and other off-road trails from the Arctic Ocean to remote parts of Baja, my Chevy truck tranny finally failed. I went from 3 speeds plus overdrive to "sort of slow" and "sort of fast". Reminded me a bit of the two-speed turbo slushamatic in my '64 Malibu.

In any event, I had hoped that the rebuilt tranny would be back in the vehicle by today but no such luck. So I'm going to have to take a pass on this gathering and wish everyone a great time.

Have fun!

bummer.. sorry to hear that Dave... god luck with everything...:thumbup:
 
Thanks. The only good part of this is that with no truck, I've been motivated to get in a lot more bicycling. Also took the Rokon 2WD motorbike on a 4,000 v.ft. climb into the Pine Nut Mountains, which are within a mile or two of my new place. Big snowbank finally stopped me.

When it warms up in a couple hours, I'm taking a road bike out for a pedal around the Smith Valley. Maybe I'll be in better shape by the time of the next gathering of the faithful.

I appreciate the good wishes,

Sooner or later, we will physically meet and exchange local maps.

We'll be on the ranch near Fallon in July, it looks like.
 
Sounds good! There's a cycling club up in your direction that puts on some rides I might do some day. They have a name like "Fatboys" bike club, which would be appropriate for me!
