I hope to leave Santa Rosa on Thursday morning and do the Friday thing so +1 taker, should I put the hitch hauler on and bring my old beater dirt bike? I have a green sticker but havent started it yet this year so hopefully it will run.

Is there a good motel 6 type (cheap) place close by?

Pete Daigle

[cruiser_guy]

Is there still time to come out? My plans changed and I will not have the opportunity to get down there.

Clint, I'm also leaving from Portland area on Friday.

[TRT2]

if you are asking if time left to register and attend... yes.

[Abalonehunter]

Will be coming in Friday from Roseburg, camping at Sourdough, may caravan in with those from Portland, Clint I will give you a call. As for the potluck, we'll be bringing taco salad and margarita fixins.

I'm planning on running in on Thursday and setting up camp and then running tail end Charlie for the Friday run with Toy350. If there is a group going in on Friday afternoon depending on what time the morning group gets in I may be able to come out and lead ya'll in as well if need be.

We should be o.k. but I can't speak for the whole group. maybe a CB radio on the same chanel as the date? just in case.


4 more days.

CB won't reach that far, maybe my HAM but not CB.

[gnob]

i will be off work on the friday before if anyone needs to freshen up or do any last minute wrenching before hitting the trail.
my group is getting to the trail head on friday evening.

as of now i am still buttoning up my list of "McGrew mods"

PM me if anyone wants to take up my offer.
i am right about half way between medford and grants pass.
that puts me about 45 mins to an hour from o'brien

see you guys soon

[K2KK]

Hey guys, New to the potluck on the trail thing. Does one bring something that is an all around dish or something specific...i.e. meat, salad or vegies. I see ham in a bag and some taco salad. Do we bring our own stove to heat it up if it is a hot dish? Just curious on the supplies to bring with me. The sanctioned run I went on years ago there was a bbq that was provided as well as breakfast for the group. Not this time I am assuming. Any suggestions?
I am looking forward to it.

[K2KK]

When I was there before there was access to the Smith river. Is there still? It would be nice to drop my hose in the water and have a hot shower.

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

For the potluck, some people bring salad type dishes, some go all out and BBQ ribs in camp.... MMMM... Bring whatever you want, and I'm sure we'll have a good dinner. Yes, it's a feed yourself thing for the rest of the weekend, except sat night potluck. Yes you can drive to the river, but technically it's not good to have your shower that close to the river. Soap in river = not really good....

[knoll0351]

Can't drive to the river any more, very large obstacles were installed to prevent boony bashers from ruining anything else!

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

There's your answer fishbulb...

Thanks for that dinner info. I figured the only group meal was the dinner.

How far is the waters edge from where we can get. If I remember correctly when I was there last is about 100' or so, maybe further. I also have some enviro friendly soap that I use when in the woods. I'll bring a couplel of buckets just in case. It's very cool set up.

[knoll0351]

Oh yeah very accessable, you just can't drive right up on it. A couple of the camp sites are 20-30' up to 100' or so.

[TOY350]

There will NOT be a informal run of the McGrew Friday morning, not enough takers. I will be running the FS road into Sourdough Camp on Friday to setup, hangout, swim and enjoy a cold one or two. I will be running up to O'Brien for the sanctioned run early Saturday morning. There should be a few different people heading in on Friday at different times if you need someone to follow. I plan on heading in late morning and would be happy to take anyone in that wants to go at that time, just shoot me a PM or post up.

I will see some of you Friday and the rest Saturday.

[Russ in California]

Six dozen Kumamoto oysters have been ordered for thurs delivery to my house. Hope there's a few how will do the 'gulp'. I'm bringing a table and maybe some lemons. If you want some exotic sauce, that'll be up to you.
Tally-hoe,



p.s. and I'm assuming from all the chatter that Garett is bringing the browines eventhough I'm the one from Humboldt County(you know, the Emerald Triangle)

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Oh yeah!!! Russ!

[TRT2]

Yummy Russ!

although I do perfer mine off the Que...

Picking up shirts today, (OK, the wife is) and I drive home Thursday night, pack fast, and leave Friday morning for Jeffs place.

[TRT2]

sometimes a very routine process can take a turn for the worse... as is the case with dash plaques this year. Our order had some issues and the cost simply got exorbitant, forcing me to cancel the order.

Consequently, no dash plaques this year unless something dynamic happens by the vendor.

Sorry about that.

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

No worries Tony, I got 2 last year.....

How many do we have registered now?

No plaques? Who do we talk to for a refund?

Just let the pinstriping be a reminder of the wonderful run.
