US West East Bay Monthly Meet Up - Pleasanton Ridge regional park CA - AUGUST MEET up moved to Aug 20- OLD THREAD

[TrailHawkGuy]

SOME TRIP SCHEDULING UPDATE ... Suggestions welcome

Crew,

a few quick announcements regarding the planned trips as we had a couple of changes.


Aug 24 - 27 - CANCELED - Coyote Flats Funnel Lake - @mr._shafer_sir (Ron)
- Unfortunately it turns out that Coyote Flats is closed due to heave trail damage from the snow/run off. So Ron made the call to CANCEL this trip.

Sept/Oct - Bend / Alvarod desert - @Jane and Sergio
- Sergio is steping in for Steve to organize this trip. Current thinking is that it will be either the last week of Sept or 1st week of Oct and approx 5-8 days exploring the area. Hope to discuss the details at our Aug Meetup

Having said that this leaves the opportunity to organize an extra trip / get away for some time Mid / late August.
- Currently I am thinking Usal / Lost Coast (get out of the heat) or going up to Blackrock.
- any other ideas / suggestions ? Please let me know

Our Aug Meetup is on the 13th. and we'll use it do discuss / do some planning for Q3/Q4

That is it for the moment. Let me know what questions you have.

Usal dirt road, north of the beach, was still closed as of last week.

SOME TRIP SCHEDULING UPDATE ... Suggestions welcome

Janet and I are always up for Usal - used to love getting out on the beach, but my efforts in April ended in letting Jessie (or Jason?) use his stretchy strap to pop our trailer loose from the sand.
We'd also like to get up to Leavitt - anyone have word from USFS on if/when the road will be clear/gate open?
Look forward to discussing at our meetup! In the meantime, here's some Overlanding porn to whet your whistle.....

Just be sure, the meet is next week? I somehow missed the message, and can't find it other than the changed title.

It's confusing to have the new meetups on the same thread from 2021.

I know … I think I’ll start a new thread as this one is getting rather long.
