DHappel Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Let's call me 60/40 as well. I'll check with Michele to see if she's able to make it this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertDingli Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for organizing. Pismo Beach has been on my to-do list for ages. I’m planning to join with the L322 and probably with my 9yo son. The campsites are super cheap and I’ve made a booking for Fri/Sat nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'd like to, currently scheduled for a work trip the following week...if it doesn't come through then I'll be able to likely make it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinw.rrc Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I might be able to come as well. Would be fun to get some more practice in. Not gonna lie, dunes scare me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventure Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Count us in. If we bring the Can-Am instead of our travel trailer I'll need a drop spot to leave it with you guys at camp. I think it would be a very bad idea to leave it on the trailer hooked up in a hotel parking lot overnight. I doubt I can talk Shawna into tent camping, we will see... -Esten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm a new member. Planning to attend!Welcome aboard! And keep an eye out, we've got a lot of other stuff on the calendar already for this year; Eric has a snow run this weekend plus several of us will be in Moab all next week. Then our April MORG will be a snow run/overnight to Bowman Lake. And we've got a Rubicon run planned for the end of June and a Dusy run for the fall. We'll also be doing Fordyce at some point this year and likely more than one Rubicon run. And of course we'll have others as the snow starts to clear out in the Sierra.
