Hello everyone!!!

All GPS cordinates for the trip have been posted in the rally point. The GPX file has also been uploaded.

For all of the Tri Valley / Bay Area folks. I think the best to meet up you will be at the In N Out (Petaluma). We should be there by 2:30pm. We should be back on the road by 2:45pm.

IN N OUT address- 1010 Lakeville Hwy, Petaluma, CA 94952

**Attention Ladies and Gents!**

Some of our planned campsites have changed due to closures or the campsite being full at the time of our stay. Please have some cash on hand just in case we land at "Paid Campground".
Please make not of the following changes:

Saturday:
Campsite will be along the Klamath River (41.50554, -123.99665) or at a near by Paid Campground- $17 per rig (lets hope not LOL)

Sunday:
Just north of Jedidiah Smith Redwoods (41.80250, -124.05540) or (41.85513, -123.89070)

A special thanks to @PapaDave for calling the issue out and looking for alternative campsites!

Here’s a short little video showing Fern Canyon. If you have water boots bring them to make the hike easier to keep your feet dry, I am bringing my sorel snow boots.

Hello guys some of our plans have changed. Unfortunately due to our timeframe of available time off we will only be able to make it to the 1st campsite and may also arrive a little late. Due to these circumstances we are planning on the possibility of staying an additional night at that particular usal beach camp site. We will be there friday night at the earliest possible I hope we can catch a bon fire still with a few brews! We really enjoyed our time with all of you our last trip!. See you guys friday night. -Danny and Sandy

Usal RD from Hwy 1 to Usal beach is open. Usal RD to shelter cove is closed this time of year. As Jason described this is more of a road trip with dispersed camping. The stuff we are going to see is really cool, such beautiful area.
Saturday night we had to change the campsite as the dispersed spot has been shut down by the rangers so that night we will head for the Klamath River.
It not easy finding places for 17 rigs!

My son Jake might be sick so I’ll know more Friday if I will make it. If he’s good we will be leaving after school so I’ll be rolling in late to Usal

One of the last fueling stations on 101 before Leggett is a Chevron. 44801 US-101, Laytonville, CA 95454. $3.499/gal for reg and $3.859/gal for diesel as of 11:18pm.
I think there is a cheaper one in Willits, CA. But I'm not of it's on the route you took.
