  1. New Town, Edinburgh. The temptation was nearly overwhelming but not enough time... Next time for sure heading up to the Highlands in one of these.
  2. Unfortunately due to crazy-ass times we are not going to make this one. Most unfortunate. Anyone wants my KOA cabin reservation, let me know, we can settle up later. I'm also paid up for a driver and passenger which I will transfer to anyone who wants them. Someday I hope it is all NCLR, all the time. Sigh.
  3. Well, I need to go to UCSB grad that weekend, so unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Really want to get back out, hopefully in July.
  4. Would love to ride along with someone since L405 not gonna do Slick Rock. Can she make it to the camp site? Always up for some 2A...
  5. I've signed Matt and I up, hopefully he can make it but I'll be there solo if necessary. I also booked what appears to be the last KOA cabin.
  6. Extra patch, 2 extra stickers and one L and one XL shirt if all still available, please!
  7. Not sure if anyone is online or not, but I'm heading down to Primm tomorrow morning and plan to be there at 16:00. If possible, let me know where you are gassing up so I can meet you. My mobile is 650.906.7098. See you soon!
  8. My bloody air suspension compressor decided to give up the ghost so unfortunately I have to bail. Kit was all staged and ready to rock. Really bummed. Good luck and safe travels through the wasteland...
  9. I've tried not to shower from anything called a "guzzler" since college. Don't ask. I wonder if a full-body Mitchum dip is available.
  10. I have a Joolca ktichen/shower setup with the ensuite. Are there water sources like springs around where we will be camping? Nothing like a nice hot shower on the trail... Be happy to bring and share.
  11. This is sorely tempting. Matt is in school so I would have to be solo. What is the expected weather? Have hot tent good down to -50F or three season gear...?
  12. I've got room in #241 for another rig as well as another large and small tent, according to the description. The more the merrier, I'll bring plenty of hooch.
  13. Sounds like a blast. I have a tentative previous engagement that may have to "fall through".
  14. Anytime. Pets are welcome and the bar is in the back behind the pool table.
  15. Booked 241 next to Robert for Friday through Monday. Not sure if we can do all three nights. Planning on bringing the Russian Bear hot tent! Anyone gets too frosty come on in and warm up by the stove. Should we coordinate on food?
  16. Just got a permit for two trees for American River. Is there interest in camping for a night or two? Just got a hot tent with wood stove on the way that I'm stoked about getting set up in the wild.
  17. I have an extra passenger ticket I got for my son but sadly he cannot make it, so if someone wants it let me know. Cheers.
  18. I'm in North Los Altos and am waiting for delivery of a still cheap but longer-range Baofeng so I may need to take you up on your setup offer. No worries on the 65mph top speed, will do me good to actually drive the limit for once... ;-) Will text you in a day or so to set up the rendezvous place. My name is Jeff, my 15 year-old son is Matt, and my mobile is 650.906.7098.
  19. Usal Beach Electrical Fail! On Day 3 about 45 minutes wheeling up the North road got a big bad red Charging System Fault. High-tailed it back down to camp but she died at the camp site. Got all packed up and hit up the neighbors for a 30 minute jump, hoping that would be enough to get back to Hwy. 1, but sadly, no. It took 6 jumps from the mercy of strangers to get to the road, and then a 2 hour wait for a flatbed tow to Fr. Bragg. Jump, drive for 10 minutes until suspension failure warning, rinse, repeat. Good times. New alternator and battery and two night in Ft. Bragg. A rather expensive excursion, to say the least. At least they had great fish and chips and we sussed out a Lost Coast fishing charter we booked for first week of August. How it started: How it went: How it ended, among the sadder sights in the world:
