Itinerant Air-Cooled

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...

Hal, I didn't mean it that way, I thought you were down there a couple months ago. Have fun, hope to see you out somewhere this summer.
There are a lot of pics of you over the years on that 10 -Year dealy, you should see.

I know you didn't, just had to needle you a bit. 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. 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...

That was JULY already? WTF. I am losing it.
We should be able to do it right after the 20th eh? Maybe I should start another thread.

Time flies when you're having fun?

The second thing to go is your memory?

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?

It's around 2000' Forecast said drier on the Eastside this past week.

Where the hell is Mark, he is our man in the field.

it's a cool map of the snow levels.

(Mike do you have a usable German driver's door seal from one of your wrecked buses? I'll pay you but can't afford a new one right now after all this brake nonsense, almost $500 for parts!)

I'll look to see is Gus has a good seal and get back to you

When is everyone planning on getting out of town? I'm planning on leaving Thursday afternoon.

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...

Well hell, there won't be any good sites left. I can't leave until late Thursday or early Friday. Westy78, about what time on Thursday afternoon?

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

Bonney Forecast, gonna be brisk out there:
WednesdayMostly cloudy, with a high near 49.
Wednesday Night A slight chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 36.

Thursday A chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 49.
Thursday Night A slight chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35.

Friday Mostly sunny, with a high near 48.
Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 34.

Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 51.

Still hoping for Wed, maybe Thurs depending.

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.
