    I'm totally in.

    I can't imagine how much beer Adan will end up sherpa-ing in this time!

    As the day gets closer, I'm totally up for carpooling with any other bay area folks.

    I'll bring a bigger bottle of Jameson this year.

    I'm definitely in! Thanks to Ken for pointing it out to me.

    Cache Creek is dog friendly I believe… how do ya'll think a pup would do at an event like this? Is it appropriate do you think? Or is she better off staying home?

    Thanks guys. Looking forward to this!

    Jason, it is BLM land so no restrictions on dogs. Totally your call, though there is one river crossing and the deepness and length of the crossing varies from year to year.

    SMF the closest airport to Cache?

    *nevermind, ha, helps if I actually read through the first page of the thread.

    SMF is the closest. If you could fly into Oakland cheaper I am sure someone would offer transport at the least.

    You should come.

    I'm liking the location. Much easier for me to get to this time. I just gotta make sure no family comes during the same weekend!

    Yes Eric, it is a fantastic spot that Ken T. thought of. It is BLM land so there are no fees, qoutas, etc. Heck we can even have a nice fire or two. We are expecting a crowd of up to or a little over a 100 this year. Of course weather could change that….like last year…(snow)

    So this is a 4-day event this year instead of an overnight?

    We usually have a hardcore group that hikes in the night before. Then everyone else shows up. Good times ensue. Pack up slow and go home. This time around we will have an extra full day at our disposal. So Fri night thru Mon, late morning/lunchtime departure on Sun.

    Eugene, I for one sincerely hope you can make it. You have been a wonderful addition to the BPL family.

    definately show Eugene…I know that you live in NM, but we have had others fly in for this. I am sure someone can pick you up at either SF, Oakland, or SJ airports too.

    We will be putting you down as a maybe!
