Events/Trails Bay Area - Roll Call and Planning Thread (1 Viewer)

[1world1love]

Paging @mrburlingame, @adventurefam, @TLC2013, @dzl40, @cruiserintn, @psnyman, @indycole, @FerzLC, @supercarrera, @i4c4lo and probably a bunch of other folks (please @ as needed because I am old an cannot remember all the locals at this point).

As has been discussed ad nauseam in many other threads, we need to organize some activities amongst the Bay Area 200 folks (or anybody else that is in the area for that matter). To that end, I am starting this thread to try to consolidate ideas, meetups, trip planning, or information sharing.

Also, Let's face it, the Seattle Area Roll Call and Planning Thread makes us look like a bunch of anti-social, technophile, dweebs that sit in our overpriced dwellings writing social media apps.

So here we go.

I'm in. Only barrier is the travel/quarantine rules in Santa Clara County that's keeping me within 150 miles so my kid can get out of my house and go back to in-person school Hopefully that will be lifted before too long.

It is February here in the beautiful San Francisco Bay and the trees and flowers are all starting to bloom. In celebration of the pending spring, I think we need to start putting concrete plans together for a couple of meetups and potential camping trips. It is perfect whether in the desert and it is never too early to plan for a summer trip in the Sierras.

In the short term, who would be up for a local meetup involving beers and possibly some paper maps.

Sounds great, count me in.

Yeah man. No doubt. We can see light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully we can get some potential dates set aside for spring/summer with the expectation that things will look a lot different.

One option for late summer would be Faucherie Lake. There is a reservable group camp there and It is right on the lake. Incredible drive up and the scenery is amazing. It is pretty remote which is nice and although Jackson Meadows is heavily used, Faucherie usually has pretty light traffic.

@1world1love thanks for putting this together. I was just thinking we need better representation from the Bay Area members and should get some events/meetups in the works. Looking forward to it.

The Faucherie Lake and its surrounding area is beautiful. Excellent place to explore and camp.

Adding a couple more Bay Area members :

I am planning on heading to Hollister Hills State park on Sat 2/27. Anyone else up for a day trip?

 

[FerzLC]

I’m in. Whenever and wherever. Fully vaccinated, and DO NOT follow CDC guidelines.

I may be in for a day trip to HH on the 27th.

 

[adventurefam]

I may be in as well.

 

[Ian Rogers]

Love this thread. I would be in for Faucherie lake.

 

[adamb]

Oakland resident here! I'd be interested in a HH run on 2/27. I just went for the first time back in November. Solo trip but it was amazing.

 

[mmcgrory]

Yeah I think 2/27 should work for me too. Stock rig but I'd love to justify some more upgrades

What silly California rules are those?

 

[supercarrera]

It would definitely be cool to see a lot of 200s down there. Adding another Bay Area guy to the thread: @drftsub

 

[psnyman]

I’m in! Busy planning a trip to Death Valley before it gets too warm but something closer would be great

 

[Norcal470]

One more Bay Area LC200 member here. Just got it and haven't been off road yet...but very interested.

 

[DiscoCam]

I don't have a 200 but I'm in the South Bay, would love to join the fun. 2/27 Hollister Hills run could work

 

[Hurndog]

SF here! Please count me in for any events.

Also, Pacific Mountain Cruisers is planning a Mud ‘n Snow event on the 20th. It’s a bit of a trek to Lake Pillsbury, but I’ve been itching to get out so will be going. Here’s the link with more details:

2021 Mud ‘N Snow run?

Any talk about a COVID-Era Mud ‘n Snow Run? Well I’m game, and Dave V. will show in his 80. There should be snow up there by now, we’ll see what it looks like in three weeks. February 20th would be the day, if I’m not mistaken. I can bring a chainsaw😁 and hot cocoa Mud n Snow circa 2001...
