Cool. I'll update the original post who's going on what day and then we can all coordinate the times and meeting places.

Mind if I ask about route and where y'all are headed? My brothers and I were hoping to find somewhere to hang a hammock Saturday night within 3-4 hours of San Fran.

Thanks man. I saw "leaving Friday" and thought it was this weekend. We're going to try and find somewhere to camp at Yosemite tomorrow night, but if we can't get set up there are plenty of public spots I found in the forests just north of there.

Little Yosemite Valley has pack in pack out one night open camping. It's on the trek to half dome.

 

[Connor Gibson]

I'm in Santa Clara, I'm hoping I can tag along with anybody heading out of the south bay.

When are you leaving? And are you attending the class?

[Connor Gibson]

No I'm not taking the class. I'm thinking I want to leave before the afternoon traffic.

 

[Drftsub]

I am ideally wanting to roll out around 9-10 am from home, that should get us there somwhere between 2-3 with a stop somewhere in there or 2.

This is the route google is suggesting:


We can make a meet point in the Gilroy area if that works ? I am not sure what route north bay people are taking so maybe something off of 5 is better for the leaving in the AM crowd.

I'm thinking of heading down Thursday afternoon from Concord around 4pm.

Meeting in Gilroy sounds good to me.

I'm heading to OTG from Tucson, AZ, but will be continuing on up to S.F. after the event. If there will be a return-trip convoy, I'd love to join it!
