DHappel Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 This one has snuck up on me - it's now less than a week away. I believe Drew took up the slack for me in June and went to Hollister. Do we have any requests for July? This would be next Saturday, July 1st just so everybody knows. There had been some discussion last month of heading north to Knoxville. That's still a possibility. There's also been discussion of doing a split part day at Praire City and part doing a trail run out highway 50 a bit. I could certainly do that, though I'd need to research exactly what trails are within easy striking distance. Let's hear your input! I'd like to get this nailed down in a few days so people can make plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I would love to go to ether place, I think that Knoxville would be cool. But count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm recommending Dutch Flats... Its about an hour drive from Prairie City off HWY 80 Went 3 weeks ago with a D2, D90, Stock D1, and my classic and we had a blast. Plenty to do for all mixed ranges of vehicles.

DHappel Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm recommending Dutch Flats... Its about an hour drive from Prairie City off HWY 80 Went 3 weeks ago with a D2, D90, Stock D1, and my classic and we had a blast. Plenty to do for all mixed ranges of vehicles. Possible, but that's even further away for most people. Prairie City will already be a 1.5-2hr drive depending on where people are coming from, another hour north from there is pushing it for a one day trip. Of course Knoxville is a solid 2+ hrs for most people as well so that's not a home-run either. Still open to suggestions. I'm wondering how Frank Rainse is in July...?

Justin Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Prairie City looks to have no scheduled events. To make it easy want to just set it to Prairie City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Unless I hear a better suggestion in the next 24 hrs or so I think we go with Prairie City. It's bigger than you realize, though not as big as Hollister of course. From there we can decide if we want to head up and do a trail run or perhaps pay a visit to a local watering hole.

DHappel Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 OK, I think I have a plan. Let's make it Prairie City, 10AM as usual. I've put a request in with Ted and Nick of Overland Pros to see if they might be able to bring out some of their new gear for a little show and tell. We can then retire to a local establishment for a late lunch after some trail time. https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=411 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 For Bay Area people, this would mean departing at 7:30 or earlier if there's a holiday traffic concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Oh, you mean like how I do when it's Hollister? I usually leave at 7 to get there in time. I suppose we could push a little later if we have to. Tradition says 10 so that's what I went with. Of course if you show up a little late it's not like we won't let you in or anything.

AlysonH Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I was just commenting for those in the Bay Area who want to go, like myself, that we'll need to leave earlier. That was pretty much it. No need to change the time or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of if, we don't have a topless D1 icon either. This is a terrible oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 If anyone from the Bay Area is planning to go and wants to caravan, I'll be at the Chevron at 510 Newhall Dr., San Jose which is near the San Jose airport, at 7:15am. Leaving Chevron at 7:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 As an extra, if people wanted Ted has suggested we head up to Folsom Lake afterward for a little BBQ action. This would give those with kids a place to play in the water since it will be hot. Alternatively if we don't have any/many kids along this time we can retire to a local watering hole like Out of Bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just a quick head's up - Nick and Ted of Overland Pros have received their first container of goodies and will be bringing a couple rigs out to the MORG - if you are in the market for anything like an awning, RTT, ground tent, etc give them a ring and maybe you can arrange a free delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Planning to head to Folsom Lake afterward. Will bring paddleboards to splash around. The Folsom Rodeo is also going on and we are hoping to hit that afterward as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
