    Thanks guys, sounds like a plan. I'll start getting my gear together.

    I'm cool with friday or early saturday, either one is fine with me.

    haha, alright Friday it is. I'll check back here for meetup time/locale

    Anybody planning on attempting any fishing during this trip? If not, I'll leave that gear at home.

    I am not but it would be a nice thing to scout out considering the number of people in February.

    I might be interested. Depends on if another trip falls through.

    I'll be coming from Sacramento, and would love to carpool.

    I drove by the area last weekend. Cache Creek is super low.

    Ken,
    If our local REI has it I will pick one up for you.

    Uh…on-line only in limon from REI. If you want it I can have it sent to store. Should be enough time.

    Catch and release? At the bottom of that BLM page:

    "Fish Consumption Advisory: The California State Office of Environmental Health Hazard Analysis has issued a health advisory for fish and shellfish from Clear Lake, Cache Creek and Bear Creek."

    I'd like to go but would have to be home by saturday night. I'm not doing anything anyway so I think Nancy and I will head up Wed. night and head out saturday. Maybe I'll high five you guys as we pass or happen along somewhere at the same time like at Emerald Lake.

    The region has been under an advisory since the 80's. Women of childbearing age and children should limit themselves to one meal per week of "sport fish" according to the OEHHA.

    It appears that it will rain next weekend. I finally find out how much I like my poncho shelter in a storm;)

    Only 40% or so chance. We might get lucky. Duomid for me. And the Vanagon…

    I think, given the weather and all, this will be a great opportunity to test out my new MYOG pack since it will hold my extra wet/cold-weather gear.

    Rain: it's also only for one night in the backcountry. Might get a lot more, "Are we there yet?" if it was for several days;)

    Hey, we don't buy rain gear for nothing!

    in my experience, the roughest weather always make for the best trips!

    Well James, I am wussing out to the extent that I will probably bring a rain jacket as well as a 5×8 tarp. I am sure it will be a fantastic trip no matter the weather.
