Hi, just confirming the meet up for tomorrow, May 17 2020. I’d like to try and make it out there from Concord. Definitely feeling antsy!!

Thanks, LouAnne

We are going to meet up. We won't be able to go into the restaurant for our normal meeting but we can gather and chat outside. Wear a mask if you've got them to be safe. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Thanks! I see now I messed up the start time. On my way now!

Awesome glad to hear it.
Left today for a solo trip up Hwy 1 to the Lost Coast and the tallest trees on earth. Easy drive and amazing! This would be a simple example of what we could organize for

A meet up in Ripon, I'm there! Thanks, Dave for planning it.

Next meeting will be June 21st @ 1300hrs (1:00pm)

At this point in time, we are not allowed in Mountain Mikes due to the current guidelines set by the state. They are still doing To-Go orders.

Today we just kept it outside without getting in each other’s faces LOL. For our next meeting we will most likely be doing the same.

Stay safe and let’s get back to the dirt trails and campfires!

I didn't know we were meeting. I guess I need to check my notifications, usually I get an email with posts on this thread.

But I have a quick question.....Does anyone know of any quick camping off of 40, maybe near Mojave National Preserve? Just for a night after a day of driving.

I think something may be going haywire with the notifications. I haven't been getting them either.

Count us in. The "Boss" and I, that is. Cheers

Definitely

Anyone in the lower 805 want to get together for a meet? Around Conejo Valley, maybe Thousand Oaks?

 

[@llouie246]

Late to the party but nice to meet you all. (And yes I have forgotten all names ... except Rob!). I’m definitely interested in Usal. See you soon!

I think that is a great idea, I've not seen a meet-up for that region, I don't think. The best way is to the check the Rally Points and see if there are any. If not, you should start one! Email Kent Reynolds and he can get you started. Our Meet-up happened because one person took charge and made it happen.

This thread only goes to the people in the Central Valley though, so it won't be reaching anyone in the 805.
