Just threw a post re/ weather but it looks awesome. We can expect 60s-70's day, 40's 50's night. It's on a cooler swing so the drive up will be say 100 instead of 110. 10 years of going up there, zero bears. The Plateau is really high desert...

I was checking the weather this morning. Where we camp is usually 4-5 degF warmer than the Funnel Lake forecast.

Do you know where he camped? For example, Baker is usually buggy. Funnel less so. Where we are has yet to be buggy but you never know. Frank

Sounds good, Frank! Glad Daniel is alright. We are planning to leave a bit early on Thursday, around 5am so the kids can sleep a bit. We will likely be taking a number of breaks along the way with young kids, but will plan to meet at the Vons in...

Cool, I sent you my number. We should be there around then but sometimes tiny bladders in the kids and my 60 mean more stops... you know how it goes. I will let you know if we get overly delayed. Frank

Typically, we head to the Vons on the north side of town to shop and get gas. It's a big parking lot so can handle a group and has everything in one spot. I would say either meet at the Vons or at the air down spot at the beginning of the...

Sorry I had to leave the meeting early. Daniel crashed my ebike and had a headache so my wife took him to the hospital. CT was negative for issues so they treated his abrasions, of which he has some good ones, and sent him home. He is sore but...

Aw man....

Excellent!

Yeah, I have never used one myself. Maybe we should do something else. Frank

No worries, I am sure someone will. If not, maybe a good excuse to get more tools! Frank

Hi Frank & thanks for the response. SD is a little off my radar. Hoping a South OC member will respond. may the force be with you!

I have one. Back Monday. Frank

That will be an adventure!.

The Big Bear Trip sounds great, count me in! What are the Agenda/Schedule ideas looking like? I would like to head to the Sierras Coyote Flats Trip right from Big Bear. - Howie

Most excellent!!!

So the nightly meal menu is by no means a requirement, but if there is a dish you like to make in the wild that fits the theme feel free make it. I will have my flat top and lots of propane so if you need it, it's there. It's not uncommon...

Friends, is anyone bringing a friends with them that are not on the attendee list? We'd like to make sure we bring enough meat for the BBQ night. Frank

The weather is looking to be amazing. Note that if you search Funnel Lake weather, sometime is gives you Bishop weather which is much warmer. Accurate Funnel Lake weather will show night time temps typically cooler than we see where we camp. if...

Appreciate the response, I ended up with one from city racer and it works like a charm now. On to other issues!

I just had a similar issue on my 60, gauge would read below 1/4 and that's as high as it would go. It turns out the aftermarket fuel sending unit had an arm that was too long and was hitting something in the tank. I was able to bend it to get...

Well some of us won't be back for the next meeting. But would be happy to fill in with our adventures for the September meeting!

Hopefully we can work out the camp/shoot and xmas party next meeting. I am cool with 6th/7th so hopefully that can stick. Frank

Could you make it if we did the shoot the 6th/7th weekend?

Well, we could do this or the party the weekend prior. Doing this the weekend prior could mean less crowds since it would be right after Thanksgiving but I suspect both dates will be good from that perspective since there is usually a lull...
