I do not know if it's just me, but the Google maps link on the roll call is not sending me to Johnson lane.

I usually set up camp right there at the end of the pavement. I may have to join the ranks of the "hotel stayers" this year. My hauler is in the shop. But there is plenty of room right there at the end of the pavement for 4 or 5 trailers.Quote:

Be ready to leave the staging area by 9:00 am. Leo wants to have the drivers meeting then, and we'll leave right after that.

The weather was absolutely perfect this weekend. If it last though next weekend, we will have a great ride.

Just checked the current Saturday forecast for Carson. Cloudy, 63 and 40% chance of rain showers in the afternoon. Winds WSW 10-15. April showers may come in May...or even in April. :rolleyes:Quote:

That's why they're hedging their bet by calling for a 40% chance....FWIW, of course...YMMV...whatever...we'll see...maybe...kinda...iffy at the best...perhaps...sorta...Quote:

We head north about 5 miles before the staging area. I wasn't planning on going back to the staging area, but open to input from the rest of the group.Quote:

That sounds good. Is the intersection of juniper valley ranch and sunshine road where we will be heading east?Quote:
