Mendo NF Rally 2012

[mootsuno]

UPDATE! The dates are May 3-6.

Hey Everybody,

It looks like most people are going to be trucking in. The problem is we probably won't have
enough parking spots for everybody. So some folks are going to have to unload their gear
and park at the boat ramp. It's only a couple minutes away and we can shuttle people if necessary.

Also we're not allowing RV's in the the group parking lot, they just take up too much room.
Even full size trucks with trailers may not be able to fit. We'll try to squeeze in as many as possible,
but please be flexible.

Attached is a map of the campsite. As you can see there's limited parking. The RV spot is where we'll have all of our cooking equipment and supplies
and won't be available for general parking. My truck will be there since it's hauling much of the equipment to the site.
Don't worry about bike parking, we have plenty of that.
If you have any questions just PM me.



So we've started getting questions about the rally this year so here's
the thread.

I've talked with Cory and DaveBro and we decided it'll be quite similar to
last year's.

We'll be at Fuller Grove group campground again as long as it's open.
It should be, but it depends on weather and water availability at the site.

The tentative dates are May 3-6, and we'll have the site Thursday through Sunday nights.
This way we avoid Mother's Day and aren't too close to the
Sheet Iron ride. This is of course subject to change.

This year we will be charging up front to make sure people who say they are showing do.
The cost isn't set yet but it'll be inexpensive. The price will include
four nights of camping and dinner Friday and Saturday nights. There will be an
extra cost for dinner Thursday night.
I think we'll do a similar menu to last year, Hot dogs, sausage and chili Friday,
pulled pork on Saturday ( in the pit smoker of course) and for the early birds,
pizza Thursday.

Remember this group campsite is limited to 50 people and it's for tent camping.

If you have an RV you can stay at the Fuller grove individual site campground,
all of 3 minutes away and still have meals and hang out with everybody. RV's
are allowed at the group site but take up too much of the available parking.

In the next couple of months we'll iron out the details, get the cost figured
and get some rides planned.

So there it is, the thread is started. Please feel free to make suggestions
or ask questions.

As of 3-5-12 we have 46 people on the sign up list. 50 is the limit per PG&E. 12-14 trucks so parking is near full at the group campsite. There is additional parking at the boat ramps but you wont be able to see or sleep in your truck at the ramp. If you can car pool that would be great or ride in.

Andy,

Think of this as a warm up for the Sheetiron. Heck riding with 500 of your best'est friends. They only pass you one at a time. Most of the time anyway...
I'll drive.

Capt.

We'll be talking to you about that, the food that is.

Hey Dean, I remember when you mentioned this last year in DV.

Don't know why I missed the first one. (I guess I thought working on the house was more important... )

I wouldn't want to miss out again - Please put me down as IN.
