    New thread so one does not have to read pages of posts to know when/ where.

    The cost is about 20$/ person .

    Hope to see you there.

    Hi David ( Gardner) ! So glad you are thinking of making the trip to join us!
    On a separate platform Jerry Adams seems a likely yes; Peter V. for sure as is Ken T. and Nick Gatel. Manfred might join us after coming back from his adventure. Matthew Black might join us as well. Debbie is a maybe. Hopefully David will come down all the way from Alaska…

    who am I missing?

    Thanks for organizing! Wow, a camp with showers, a clubhouse, a game room and other amenities. And you can bring your gold panning equipment. Should be fun!

    Tomorrow I’ll leave for New Zealand to trek a little on the Te Araroa. Coming back on March 10 – so I will hopefully be able to make this GGG.

    Anyone know how to get a hold of the Trail Design brothers ( Rand and ?)? They came to the GGG at least once before and we’d love to have them again.

    ok, that sounds Great !

    how to get there? well, it’s pretty simple, but there is a bit of a trick to it at one point.

    anybody can find Sonora, so start there. there are two routes north out of Sonora, you will want the larger of them, it being Hy 49. this Hy 49 will head N, and then quickly NW. where it turns left (we are northbound) and heads of SW, at that bend one will find Parrots Ferry Rd. head N on Parrots Ferry to Columbia, which is both a town and a state park. driving wise .. the defining feature Columbia is a tight’ish LH/RH chicane. if you hit this, you have gone a block too far..

    what you want is Jackson St., which i think was properly marked. one should E for one block on Jackson and turn LH, which will be N. onto Main St.. Main will in all but immediately turn into Italian Bar Road, and you are home free.

    on weekends they may block off two blocks of Main St in the trendy center of town, but Jackson St access is always open. follow Italian Bar road on ever deteriorating  pavement until he tarmac ends, and then 3.5m on very decent gravel track to our camp.

    there is water at camp which they say is good.

    see you there !

    Kat – you could try [email protected]

    I ran into Russ in Coe last spring, coming up from the Narrows as he was going down.  Super nice guy.
