Feb. 25-27 Henry Coe State Park
Just a general invitation to those of you who may be on the fence about coming. You are of course welcome to come even if you don't live in the Bay Area. Or California for that matter. You will not be judged by the gear you bring. So newbies shouldn't feel nervous. We have people attending from all over. You could carpool with someone if you can't afford the gas, or whatever. This event has been a blast every year. Don't miss out. If you have any questions or need help getting there please feel free to PM me or Ken H.
Please don't reply here, as I want to bump the invite a few more times before the event.

Jan 16, 2011 at 8:05 am #1684689Shameless promotional bump. I'm going to bump this until you come. You know who you are.
Jan 17, 2011 at 7:21 am #1685023Bump
Jan 17, 2011 at 7:41 am #1685026I've managed to steer the dates for a visit to our bay area daughter so that they overlap that weekend. Count me in for Sat morning thru Sunday! I'll send $$ Real Soon Now.
I might need a ride one or both ways (San Jose). But we don't have lodging details yet.

Jan 17, 2011 at 2:47 pm #1685182Jim, I am sure someone will have you taken care of for a ride. If not, then let me know, I live right above San Jose in the Santa Cruz Mtns. and might be able to pick you up
Jan 17, 2011 at 2:48 pm #1685183Folks, let's not post on this thread but the other Bay Area BPL thread. Ken T. wants to keep this as an invitation.
Jan 22, 2011 at 8:11 am #1687002Sat. bump
Jan 22, 2011 at 9:10 am #1687018" You will not be judged by the gear you bring "
oh PUH-lease …
.. and you will be additionally judged on if you bogart the scotch. i personally will judge you, you , and YOU .. on pretty much everything else, including even your hat, and the looks of your girlfriend.
so, if only to avoid the debilitating effects of post erection (of your tarp) judgement, bring your coolest gear, your finest duds, and best looking girlfriend.Jan 25, 2011 at 5:51 pm #1688409Bump
Jan 25, 2011 at 6:12 pm #1688415Thanks for doing that Tony!
This should be a fantastic weekend!

Jan 31, 2011 at 9:23 pm #1690815If you are thinking of coming act now. We are near capacity. Thanks to all who have responded. All we need now is good weather.
I hope as much as some of you out there that this should be one of my last posts on this event until I get back from it.

Coming up soon!
Feb 6, 2011 at 7:43 am #1693149Well at Henry Coe the park is going to let us take a few vehicles to the group spot on Saturday to allow us to haul in supplies. If you want to have things brought to camp, like coolers and chairs, firewood. We will need you to be at the trailhead fairly early on Saturday. I would suggest getting and early start anyway, as there will be much to do and see, eat and drink. Ken H and I will be there Friday night. If you have things for the swap meet we can haul that stuff to and have the sale in camp. Then we will drive it all back out on Sunday morning.
Feb 6, 2011 at 11:37 am #1693229Ken,
What time do you want to make the meeting for supply and gear drop off for the supply vehicles?
I have box of duraflame logs to have driven in….maybe a chair.

Feb 6, 2011 at 12:29 pm #1693255Tony, let me call them tomorrow to see what time they will let us through the gate.
Feb 7, 2011 at 6:03 pm #1693810No answer there today Tony. I left a detailed message and my contact info. I will try again tomorrow.
Feb 7, 2011 at 6:19 pm #1693822Ken, they might have the HQ closed during the weekdays. Do you want me to call them this weekend??
Feb 7, 2011 at 6:22 pm #1693826Yeah didn't think about that. I'll try on Sat. then.
Thanks for the offer Ken.Feb 8, 2011 at 5:59 am #1693998Well we are basically full. We have 65+ persons confirmed for Saturday. With some still in the unheard from herd. We are near capacity at these two sites. If you wanted to go, and have not RSVP please do so very soon.
24 for Friday, so far…
Those thinking about Friday and have not checked in with me, be aware that the members here have reserved some spots and are willing to share the expense of with others. Check with me before you reserve a spot.
16 days
Feb 8, 2011 at 9:42 pm #1694355For those of you coming Saturday, what time do you think you will be getting there? We will be driving the support vehicles in on Sat. morning and would like to have time to do some things before you all get there. So 9:30-10 sound reasonable? Or do you want to get going at 6am?
