Cache Creek 11/12/11

I'm very iffy still and don't have my own transport available.

Unfortunately I'd say count me out for now, with a shot in the dark chance that I'll be emailing some people Thursday night to try finding a ride.

edit: Rain Jacket…pssh. Matt your such a sissy.

Yeah, I am a big sissy, James. I am even bringing a 3/4 length Ridgerest.

Eli is not 100% on driving. If Eli is unable to go, I will be bringing my car out to Mission Bay and hitting the Bay Bridge directly from work. I have a station wagon and will take anyone who can fit and make it to the City around 5:00PM. Gas money is always welcome.

I guess I should have seamed sealed my Moment last year. Maybe I'll just bring the 8×10 tarp and cowboy camp under it, gives me a big kitchen out of the rain also. I think Adam may be coming with me plus 1 more, will know more by Thur. looks like I'm sleeping in my truck on Fri. night at Adam's house, and driving up Sat. morning, hopefully early Sat. morning.

So we should be prepared for snow then, huh Jack?

I might be interested Ken if you don't mind me tagging along. I haven't met anyone from this site yet, hopefully that won't be awkward. I have wanted to check out cache creek for a while now. I would probably go north east past Clear Lake.
Any idea on temps this time of year? I have a 35 degree bag, but could tote along an extra woobie (or two). What's this talk about snow?
I am not totally not sure if I will busy though.

Come out Justin. Snow? Jack Elliot has a habit of making it snow on trips. Temps are expected to be upper 30's low 40's at night with 50's-60's for the high. Rain chance 40% or so.

I'm not sure if I'm going or not. Currently my plan is for coastal camping, kayaking, surfing and wild harvesting in Mendocino. Those friends are notoriously fickle, so if they bail, I'll come to Cache Creek.

Everyone know where they are going and how to get there? There is a large parking area.

I might be out, guys.

I've been burdened with a HEAVY work load this weekend and I don't think I'll have time to go.

DAMN! I was REALLY looking forward to this, too. I'll keep you guys posted if things change, but for now I would say count me out. :(

Sorry guys…

"Everyone know where they are going and how to get there? There is a large parking area."

Not really. Redbud trailhead? http://yolohiker.org/trails/ccna/redbud/index.html

What time does the hiking start?

Not terribly enthused about hiking in the cold rain..

It appears that the chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday has dropped to 10%. This will be a cakewalk and I will leave my Giant's orange rain parka at home.

That's the place. 9 AM. Now saying cloudy with 10% chance on Sat.

Sorry guys. I had plans to go to the city with my father this Saturday to see cirque du soleil. Kinda forgot about it until I was reminded. Have fun!

Have fun Justin. They put on a great show. See you in Feb.

I am officially out. Doctor said it would be a bad idea hiking with my back. I am out of work for three weeks so I have plenty of time on my hands. I might car camp on Friday at the trailhead if my wife says it is ok

I am currently planning to drive myself up immediately after work. I am leaving from San Francisco, close to Embarcadero. I will gladly take anyone but please let me know tonight.

I didn't realize the moon was almost full. Promises to be gorgeous out if we get a little break in the clouds.

Looks like me and Adam are in. I will drive up to his house in Davis Fri. after work arriving around midnight or later, then pancakes in the morning from Adam the Chef, and hopefuly at the trail head by 9:00 a.m. See everybody Sat.
Snow maybe optional this weekend, it's harder for me to make it snow at lower elevations, but will give'r heck trying!

Sorry but my son has a soccer tournament this weekend and I really want to support him. Have a great trip friends and I am looking forward to the GGG in February.

–J.W.–

I'm out. Going coastal camping and wild harvesting instead. Have fun!

Jay and Jack. You guys have a great weekend. I'll post some info when I get back.

Everything in the Harmony House backpacker kit looks delicious. Hard to decide what to bring.

My question is lunch.

I always go overboard on that and end up with a ton of stuff to bring home. Also a good opportunity to "dispose" of expired Clif bars and such. I am declining to take the tamari almonds I forgot to put in a sealed container six months ago. Straight into the compost bin.
