I shared about this event on the Santa Rosa gathering I had last weekend: US West - Santa Rosa Gathering in the event it'll attract someone.

I won't be able to make this trip but I may show up to send ya'll off!

 

[TrailHawkGuy]

Nice - thanks

I'm in. Confirming that the rally point is the RP Costco parking lot?

Yes, 10am. We have people coming from various places via various routes and this spot has worked well for us in terms of access and space. There is gas and a chance to shop, as well.

The weather forecast for April 19-21 is awesome! Highs 50-60's, lows 40-50's, winds 10-20 mph (typically stronger overnight than during the day).

We'll likely have a campfire (or more than one) each evening - bring firewood! Campfire permits.

Here's a bit more detail on our initial meetup.


No worries if you can't make the initial meetup - we'll have a second rendevous in Laytonville at 1pm (on the .gpx as a clock icon at 1:00).


If that doesn't work just come on out to the beach!

I didn't notice it on the GPX file, but if anyone is interested there is a drive through tree up in Leggett about a mile from the gas station waypoint. Appears to be a $15 fee. http://www.drivethrutree.com/index.html

FYI, we'll be traveling separately, leaving Friday around noon from the Peninsula.
We're happy to join the potluck!

Unfortunately I'm going to have to bug out on this trip. I've really been wanting to do Usal for a long while, but I'm still recovering from a small medical issue and am not quite ready for prime time yet. I'll see you soon on another run. You're going to have great weather!
