navydevildoc Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Guys, just looking at the Camp Edison site has me completely confused. Am I reading right that we can't even submit reservations until the 18th, and you have to include a 100 dollar deposit, even though the sites are only $35 a night? The process just seems very bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 No you can reserve now. They charged me just 70 for the 2 nights. No deposit. You do have to FAX or mail though. Do we need one more site or is there one more reserved with openings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process just seems very bizarre. X2 on what Colin said. Yes, the process of reserving a site is very 1990's. You just need the site # you want, credit card # and exp date. Be sure to include your phone (in case there's an issue) and address (to send you the confirmation). Mention you're with the NCLR Club and send it to this address. They're pretty quick to confirm your request, mine took 2-3 days to hear from them. P.O. Box 60042696 Tollhouse Rd.Shaver Lake, CA 93664 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Brandon, glad to see you can make the trip again this year. As the date approaches we can coordinate transport of firewood (if needed).

El Solis Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 All, Well, knowing nothing other than time is moving on .... I faxed in for 229 for Saturday, and then tried to book a cabin for Friday night (we won't be there until 8:30pm earliest, probably nearer 10:00pm). Two night minimum stay .... oh. Now the second problem is that I don't actually have a Rover vehicle that I'd go more than 50 miles in at the moment. The 'parts' D2 has a blown head gasket. The D2 has a suspected blown head gasket (will go 110 miles though all conditions with temp stable, then sometimes cook the next day going just 5 miles). The RRC has a known locked BW CD, although why I should worry about that I don't know because it was that way at least since May, and we've done several thousand since then. Intuition tells me the front left CV joint may not be liking the current situation though. In the snow I have no worries, but getting there .... Of course, I have a 'spare' TC lined up, but need to meet up with Dan, and fit the thing too. Hey ... there's a thought. Dan: How about bringing it on the trip and we'll do it in the snow? .... no come to think of it, a AAA truck home sounds more fun .... It is too cold to 'enjoy' doing either of the head gaskets at the moment, and my garage is 1/2 way through a remodel so is (a) full of cr&p, and ( only partially wired for light and power and © devoid of insulation and Sheetrock, so very cold. So no chance of doing the work in there. Did I say there was a 60% chance of us making it along? Sounds about right. Happy New Year to you all .... Regards, Graeme Graeme,You are welcome to ride with me as I am going solo at the moment, as long as you are ok with my little dog riding in the back (100 pound lab with a drooling issue) and just so you get the joke: smiling emoticon for the drooling comment hee heeChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerDan Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'll be heading down 99 on Friday sometime, not sure when yet. I guess whenever I feel like it, since I don't have anyone to caravan with from my neck of the woods or the Sac. area so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Dan, I would love to caravan with you fri since I too don't have anyone to head down with, we could me at my house in stockton (last week that i will be living there as we are buying a house in livermore!!!!!) it's 2 miles off of 5 in north stockton so easy to get to and then we could head down either way. let me knowChris209-423-3888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm planning to go 99 partly since I'm pulling a trailer. I generally tow at about 60 or so, the Po-po usually won't mess with you if you're a little over the 55 towing limit, but if you want to go 70 you'd be leaving me in the dust... But if you can live with that, it could be do-able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you must not remember the CT110 beast, even with it's new engine (which i haven't driven yet) I don't think i would do more that 65 tops so 60 is fine with me!!!

TigerDan Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I wasn't sure...I figured with that new engine it would scream along at 70 with ease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll pin down PETA and Brenton and meet them at the 101/152 fuel station at a pre-determined time. I can pick you up at the Palomares exit??

sasquatch Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 9am sounds good. Was that a Shell station right there? That should get us up to Shaver at a good time to set up camp and get my swerve on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelCowan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Site 229 is confirmed for Friday night and I believe Graeme has Saturday night! Still not sure what kid is coming with me, what truck I will take or if a trailer will be in tow??? Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've updated the first post again to reflect a slight change in campsites for TigerDan and Brandon. I didn't realize Dan is bringing a trailer (which counts as 2 spaces at a site), and moved him to #229. I moved Brandon to #230 with Lutz, which means we are all full again. The next person who wants to attend will need to secure the next campsite, #227 I believe. Soon we'll start discussing the plans for Saturday's potluck dinner.
