View Rally Point

Long video, but shows the beach, although driving on the sand is not technically permitted. There is sort of a parking lot where I took my photo that you can drive to, then walk out

Glad you’ll be there Mark, please be sure to hit the RSVP button :)

I'm in for 2 people. RSVP sent.
Quick tip.
I opened the rally point email notification from Samsung S9 phone. It opened the website and didn't see the RSVP button. Fiddled for a while to figure with no success. When i turned the phone in landscape mode RSVP button was displayed. Hope it helps to others who can't always get to computer quick.

I am in. I have tried to hit the RSVP button and it will not open or let me RSVP. I might be outside the range or such.

Weird, I just did it manually for you. See if that works

Dogs are fine as long as you are mindful that he/she doesn’t get into other people’s camp. But no problem! Glad you are coming

So what time are we starting on Friday and what is the route and final meeting point before getting to the camp?

Great questions, I’d like to get a half day start from the Modesto area so a few of us can possibly save some spots. Usal Campground will be busy most likely. My desire would be to head out about 12pm from Modesto, so Anand we could meet up with you around the 580/680 interchange. It’s about a 5.5 hour drive or so.

My uncle will be coming from the South Bay and the 580/680 split would probably be a good rendezvous point for the Bay Area and Valley people.

Perfect. That would give us head start as well as evade the rush hour traffic (hopefully).

I’m going up early Friday to see some friends in Ft. Bragg. Maybe meet up at the Safeway? Good place to grab local brews and wine, too.

I know you drive this a lot, is it faster to go 101N to 20W and up 1? Or go 101N and take 1S at Leggett?

 

[Mark E]

I normally take I-5N to 20w to 101N . Then pick up 20W in Willits to Ft. Bragg then N on 1. It’s a bit longer than going through the bay, but there’s usually much less traffic. It can actually be faster if the Bay Area is jammed. Plenty of easy options for rest rooms, food , and fuel too.

I was going to do this trip while on my way up to Eureka to see my daughter for Father's Day. Just saw you had it planned and thought I'd jump in on it. Just me and my dog, nobody else in the vehicle. Should be fun!
I'll be arriving on Friday from Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz mountains. Maybe meet up with some of you around the 580/680 interchange?

Sure MTN RNR,

So far I think you, Fidel (from San jose) and I (San Ramon) are from Bay area. If 580/680 is not the main route for everyone, we can meet and start.
