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.

6 months from right now you could be having the time of your ultralight life.

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 already looking at what it will take to do so, looks like a blast, you left coast guys are the lively bunch of BPL, I want some of what you guys are smoking.

Eugene, we did have a few fly in last year. You would be more than welcome to join if you feel like it

I'm holding out for the BPL trip thru Napa Valley.

and I would be the first to sign up! Actually was there a few weeks ago. Big bold Cab tasting in Oakville and Rutherford…..not light on my wallet that is for sure

Bump de bump bump bump

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)

"IF I GO, THERE WILL BE SNOW"

I am really hoping that my plantar fasciitis is gone by then… :-(

"IF I GO, THERE WILL BE SNOW"

I kind of enjoyed the snow :-)

Monthly bump.

What? BPL annual extravaganza

When? February 17-20 Presidents' Day Weekend.

Where? Henry Coe State Park

Who? BPLr's and their ilk

Why? Because it's so dang fun!

Comment? Feel free.

you know I'm gonna be there! be nice to see those that I know, and meet many new faces, can't wait!

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.

Bueno. I'm planning on being there, I'll be following the thread closely in Dec. and Jan. as you guys update info.

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!
