Just found this tonight. Sounds great. Count me in!

Question–if this is a designated wilderness, aren't you pushing the party size limits?

If it were only closer to northern Oregon, I'd be there, too! If I hadn't just taken a trip down to visit my daughter in the bay area, I would consider it despite the distance.

It's BLM land which was one of the deciding factors of why it's at Cache Creek I believe.

I'm in and would like to carpool from Sac.

Ditto on having the organizers look into regulations. I'm not an organizer..

This might be the last free year. getting to the point where we will be renting a facility or paying for a organized permit. Really want to avoid that. Anyone who can recommend a suitable location for 100+….

We'll stick with feigning ignorance and begging forgiveness. Has worked so far with the Mrs.

Agree with my partner…. If there are more suitable facilities we'd be all over it. Fronting cash and recouping it is a major headache that both Kens would agree are not fun.

We are ALWAYS open for suggestion to further the enjoyment.

I guess we can move this to the desert and mimic Burning Man……. (joke)

The date is too far out to know exactly, but I will try to come again. Depending on the kids schedules I might try to bring my wife and a couple of the kids. We will see.

Hi all, as Ken and company slog away in the rain and checking the site, I am at home with a bad back warm and dry. My computer is down at the moment and for some reason I am not able to update our list on my pad. Hopefully by the end of the weekend this will be fixed and things will be updated

Edit: just a quick thought here…. There are plenty of folks coming from Southern California for this "event" so carpooling could prove useful

Any interest in setting up a Meetup group for this event? It would be a central clearinghouse for current and future events, activities, membership, signups, e-mails, etc. The cost is about $144 per year, which I could cover if needed.

GGG IV scouting report brought to you in part by Darn Tough, Vermont and Modelo Especial.

I have determined that my camera died shortly before arrival. Fortunately I take very poor photographs and it is no great loss.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Doesn't look like a plethora of trees, you guy's see any issues with bringing a hammock on this trip?


@Jack
,

I think Matt has a SMD Metor Bivy. At least that's what he had with him last trip to the Trinity's.

Not really conducive to hammock at this site unfortunately. Stay tuned…
