Thanks for the info Jim.
Yeah were just gonna head up Thurs morning and hit the 15-395-58-5 like you said and probably drive till Sacramento or so and stay the first night somewhere around there.

Then roll out Friday morning and take our time and arriving at the rally site sometime in the afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing this area up close.
I know we have a 50a, sewer, water site reserved already so life should be good.

In case you didn't get my humor I am fully aware we are on our own as far as utilities are concerned which is just fine as we're self reliant, hell we even have our own propane campfire ring. Whats life coming too....

Not sure how many campers are coming but if anyone's heading out from SD let me know and we can caravan it to some extent for support if not we'll see everyone there.

Lots of damage on 395 had it closed until just recently. Now several spots are one-way traffic as they continue to advance with the storm repairs.

Hi all, hard to believe we are getting to be so close to the rally. Excited to see you all again soon! Creek has been flowing well. This is a pic a neighbor shared, she took it at a bit of a weird angle but still quite a nice sight!

OP just wondering how many campers do you estimate will be in attendance?

We'll probably be rolling in sometime Fri afternoon as were staying the night about 300 miles south of the rally just off the 5.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hard to say, last year we had about 5 rigs I think. This year between 5 and 10 is my guess. I think most everyone from last year is in and I'm pretty sure there are a couple of new folks that posted in here making plans.

There should be plenty of room for up to about 20 campers and even then, we can probably squeeze more if we had to.

Robert, we would like to take advantage of your offer of an early check-in. We have a friend within walking distance of your property and finalizing the timing of things for Wednesday or Thursday.
Can I bring up a string weed Wacker and do any site prep for you knowing how we were arranged last year?
