I will be there probably at the right turn after crossing the bridge over the Eel River like around 7:30 or so. Like we did last year so we can caravan to the air strip. For those who has Ham radio I will be on chat 2 (147.475)for the ones with CB I will be on channel 17. Does any body go there Friday afternoon and do camping? We can camp anywhere it is BLM land. Let me know. C U there

On a trip I took to Lake Pillsbury last summer, the county road was closed and the logging road was barricaded. Do we have a solid confirmation that the county road was opened up?

I'll be there in the wife's '97 4Runner! Wouldn't miss it. I may be interested in camping, let me check with the powers that be.

To my knowledge, the county road is still closed, but the logging road is only partially barricaded. Last winter we all snuck by, even the fullsize truck with trailer -Chris

If my work does not call me in, I will plan on being there this year. Maybe I will see you at the airstrip?

Hope you can make it! I just spoke with Mendo Forest Service office. The county road is open.

Just look for the Rustic Green 40 with a soft top.

Should of been a nice day based on the weather in Bodega Bay today.

Here are some highlights from a nice, dusty day on the trails at Lake Pillsbury. We had a great time, saw some nicely built Toyotas and a Range Rover (that sneaked into the pack ). Maybe next year we'll get more snow, but for this year we couldn't have asked for nicer weather.
