Hey Doc, it will be great to see you again. You Huligans have a nice ride out and we'll see you there.

Sorry B/King's on the right going North. You know where it is.

Yes I do.

It will be great to see you again. Who all in your group is coming?

Any vendors on tap for this? Just need to know if I need to start taking the change jars to the bank.

I might be able to go to this event!! It's a 10+ hour drive for me, and I'd have to leave from work (get off at 10pm). I figure I'll trailer the Spyder. I'm already off Tues/Wed, so I just have to find someone to work for me on Thursday (cough, cough... or call off sick <shhhh... don't tell anyone>). If I can get my hands on a trailer before pre-registration ends, I think I'll be there!! Long drive... but I think it will be well worth it to meet y'all in real life!!

on!!

[Dragonrider]

John, of Seal Floorboards fame will be there. Last I heard, he was riding down with us.

No vendors, but you'll want cash for the raffle. We have some AWESOME prizes!!

Down to the last few days before the Redwoods Spyder gathering - for me, it's not the event, it's getting to it, and meeting some of the folks we chat with on the forum.

Looking forward to dinner with new friends in Grant's Pass, riding through Jedediah Smith State Park (home of the tallest redwood) - it's a cathedral that God made, and you can ride through it!!

Yes, we'll miss the formal group dinner, and the formal group ride(s), but will support the effort, and have our own kind of fun.

Our ride will include Detroit Lake, Sisters, Or, Bend, OR, Crater Lake, Grants Pass, the Rogue River highway, riding through the redwoods, a meal on the Trinidad dock, and almost 400 miles of spectacular coastline.

Let SpyderGirl know, if you want some of this too….

[SpyderGirl]

It's not the destination, it's the journey...

Of course, in this case, the destination is pretty awesome too. We are expecting over 80 people and 60 Spyders for our first annual Spyders in the Redwoods event.

Only 25 days to go and only 4 days left to pre-register. So what are you waiting for??

Amen to that brother!! Look at that and the Grand Canyon and you know God is an artist!!!

Thanks for the update on the count. Sounds like we are going to have a good crowd. We are looking forward to meeting everyone and the journey.

We are leaving the Sacramento area on 7/31 (Sunday) and spending the night in Fort Bragg. Going to take our time going up the coast. Will be in Eureka sometime 8/1 (Monday). See you all there.

Can you pick me up on your way to the Redwoods ??? It's not to far out of your way is it ??? I will give you gas money !!!

For those of you coming from the East - watch the weather in the valley - Redding, Grant's Pass, etc. If it's really hot (90+) there, it will probably be cool (60), and wet (drizzle) in the mornings, so come prepared for temps in both ranges.

Weather on the coast rarely exceeds 80, even if it' 110 in Redding.

[Desert Spyder]

The wife and I will be leaving 0600 Monday, taking the 58 to Paso Robles>Cambria. Maybe will get a bottle of wine to bring with us ... if there's room. We will go up the 1 (PCH) to Salinas and get another bottle of wine. Next day we will jump on the 101 to Eureka and arrive around noonish. Are there any Del Tacos in Eureka? Should be a winery up there somewhere. Besides marijuana, California is famous for its wine's and and cheating governor.

Following the PCH from start to finish in Cali is on my bucket list. The southern half from San Juan Capistrano to Santa Monica kinda sucks but I am looking forward to the northern half. I hope to catch the segment between Eureka and Monterey on the way back. The part north of Eureka will have to wait till next year. Maybe SpyderGirl can schedule a run on it, through OR to the 5, down to the 36, and back to Eureka. Now that would be a helluva run!

Boy is that true

Once past Wiskeytown Lake about 10 miles it starts to cool off about 10f... Lots beautiful scenery to see, as long as CDF is not fighting any fires...

With that in mind... It would be wise to have alternate routes just in case.

[Dragonrider]

For those that have the chance, I highly recommend a ride up/down 199:

For those sticking around another day, I have a run planned that includes 36, 3, and 299 for Thursday after breakfast.

Although ther will not be any formal "Vendor Village" I will be bringing some Seal FloorBoards with me. They can be installed at the Motel 6. Let me know if you want a set and which model. Free installation and no shipping plus I will have the new RT SE5 DLX with me. See ya there.

Ride in comfort,

Yes!

[SpyderGirl]

Yes, thank you John. I also will be selling my mudflap light kits... not sure if I will have time for doing any installs.

[Weave2u]

It's going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is!!!!!!!!

It turns out I have a Dr's appt on the 1st, which is good, because that means I don't have to go into work that night, which means I can get some sleep and leave earlier. I'm staying at the Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn, down the street from the meet. I'm gonna have to chug a few 5 hour energy drinks, but hope to arrive in the AM 8 - 9ish Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!!!!!

on!!!

The 3 thru Weaverville? Oh Steve.

I just saw a Huell Howser visit in Weaverville. Quiet little place.
