One a year is "so many"? I was down for a 4-day weekend in July last year, the time there last March was passing through on the way to Arizona .. and only because my aunt died. I'd rather if she were still with us...

We're spending a week with Mary's kids & grandkids, my parents and nephews and sister-in-law and probably dropping in on some friends too. After that, I don't see any trips out of CA unless I manage to squeak down for Bug-O-Rama in Sacramento over Labor Day...

I know you didn't, just had to needle you a bit. :geek: But no, haven't been down there since that trip in July when things got .. interesting .. in my extended family.

Should have fun, taking the grandkids & nephews to play tourist in SF and probably an insiders tour of the USS Hornet museum ship -- my dad volunteers on the security detail, he can get us into places most people don't get to see.

I'll probably be making the "4/20" camp if you PICK A WEEKEND so I can GET TIME OFF WORK. :bootyshake: Summer trips it all depends how much advance notice there is so I can get weekend days off, or how willing/able people are to go out on Thursdays/Fridays...

What is the elevation of Bonney Crossing, I don't have an area map.
It's been cold here in Portland this past week, idling around 50 F and a lot of rain.
Curious what is happening on the East side of the mountain?

Wed or Thurs, depending on the weather, and how the bus work goes. Also want to replace the steering coupler, it's really bad. You guys ever do that? It looks pretty simple...

If I can get out of work a little early around two. If not probably wouldn't be until four or so.

Now that the Bus is back together, looking forward to getting out of here! Eva is really pushing for a Wed departure so I guess I'll do it - for her.
Just talked with Randy and Mark M. they are most likely attending the 10thannualfestivities
Man my Bus was filthy and neglected, poor gal.
Looks to be typical Badger Creek March weather, around 50 and probably all sorts of interesting mini storms rolling in. Bring rain-wear and warm clothes. Also trail tools if you want to, loppers etc I want to explore downstream at Bonney.
