RedRover Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi all; February 2015 MORG is officially canceled due to OHV closure (rained out) -- this thread is to help coordinate members that still want to get together for an off-road trip this weekend to Frank Raines OHV Park near Patterson. Attendee List: • Don H.• Anudeep Y.• Erin W.• Alyson H.• David W.• Pedram B. (maybe) [Calendar Entry] -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well, you're quick on the draw (post?) I'll have an empty seat since Michele is out of town in case anybody wants a ride. Yes, this means you Pedram, assuming you're not on baby-duty tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrover Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I am in. Pedram if you are interested I can pick you and drop you back home and yes you can ride with Don at the OHV . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I believe I'll pass on this one. It's just as far for me as Hollister, so I'd spend more time getting there and then back home than wheeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomOwen Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Question about coordination possibilities with the Mendo Rally. Are we still supporting the rally, can we make a couple days incl camping out of it or do they take over the mtn etc... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineryrover Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I am out as well. Same as Dan, the drive for a day trip would be much longer than the trip itself. I am up for going to Cow Mountain before June, it will be hot and dusty by then. Let's just not do it too close to Medno XXI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be camping in March as I have to catch a plane the day after the MORG, but I can do a day trip up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirowsky Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Jared: I am chickening out of the Frank Raines MORG tomorrow. At best it will be muddy and slick on the steep hills. Where I come from there is not so far to slide. Some web comments say the park might close anyway if wet enough. So, those are my gutless excuses. -Florida John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out at Frank Raines during a light rain (and after it got dumped on the day prior) and most of the park was okay. The main fire road up to some of the obstacles and mud pit was thrashed; too many of those recreational buzzy vehicles had ripped it up, making it very precarious to crawl (and slide) back down. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlysonH Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 So how is the MORG canceled if some of us are still going but to a different location? Did we have an official MORG leader that needs to be there to make it an official MORG??? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we have an official MORG leader that needs to be there to make it an official MORG??? Just curious. Hi Alyson; I manage the monthly MORGs. Unlike a regular club (members-only) get-together like Shaver Lake, White Rock, etc., MORGs are open to members *and* non-members. Non-members find out about these events through social media and if we don't officially cancel, we run the risk of having a newbie end up at SCM with no one to meet them. Could I have called it a 'reschedule' to Frank Raines? Maybe, but I can't really vouch for the conditions and we're potentially dealing with bone-stock vehicles showing up to MORGs so it's best that we set it up as an unofficial get together by club members on short notice. Hope that explains my thought process. Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 The more important question Alyson is: will you be there? We're looking kinda light on the turn-out per the first post in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you Jared for explaining that. Don - of course I'll be there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRover Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you Jared for explaining that. Ya, I over-complicated it when I came back to this thread and read what I wrote -- we're MORGing but without posting it everywhere. Hopefully the park stays open... we're getting rained on in buckets here at home... Glad you will make it out! -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 And Thomas, where will you be tomorrow? Also looking for David, Michal, Justin, Ulises, Chris... ::amuse:: -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinw.rrc Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Don is unofficially our official "MORG" leader for Frank Raines if we don't get rained out. There is a number on the Stanislaus county webpage that we should check tonight and/or tomorrow morning. If the park is closed, then no get together this weekend.

Guest Pedram Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Okay so talking with my wife..... Crossing fingers but it looks good on my end. Baby still not here. But close. If I drive up I can make it and leave on my own in a hurry if something happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I looked but did not find this number. I found a number for parks and rec, but it just goes to a recording saying they are open 7:30-5 m-f; nothing about the park.

DavidW Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am planning to go..... I can't stay the whole day, but it's close enough to home that I can do a half day. Still waiting to hear from my friend, but I hope to meet Erin and Alyson and ride out together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
