Lost Coast Trail Run Update / Info

[Ivan]

I need just a quick "headcount" so I can get an idea as to how many folks to expect on the Lost Coast run. So, please post below

Lets plan on meeting in Garberville on Sunday May 25th at 8:30 AM. for an initial meet 'n greet, and an overview of the days events. If you are traveling north, take the first Garberville exit. Just park across the street from the Waterwheel restaurant, in front the vacant lot, along the street. The restaurant will be on your left (parking on your right), just as you get off the offramp. If people want to grab a bite to eat, get there a little bit earlier. The Waterwheel has some good home style cooking! Be sure to pack water and other munchies for along the trail. Bring a lunch to munch on when we arrive at Usal beach.

There was talk earlier about meeting for dinner the night before in Eureka, but it's a good 90 miles or so from where most people will be camping/staying. Unless you have some strong desire to see Eureka, the drive back and forth will be a long one. I will not be available for dinner the night before due to a previous commitment. You folks can decide what you want to do.

The weather is looking good and things are starting to dry up a bit. We could still encounter some mud sections along the way, but they should be manageable even for stock XJ's.

Please post any other questions you may have... see you all on May 25th!

[Bronco]

I know it’s kinda last minute but my planes now allow me to go. It looks like I’m going by my self though so dose anyone have room in there camp sight for another jeep and a small tent. I’d be happy to foot the bill for the sight.

 

[ZPD]

I am 90% sure that I am going with my wife and my 1 year old son. Got room Chuck?

 

[ChuckD]

Got room, for one. I offered it to Zion first, if he doesn't make it then Bronco or anyone else. I know I'm leaving Friday around noon. I have the day off, 4 day weekend for me! :moon:

 

[WesternXJ]

Hey Mark if Rob doesn't stay with us, you're welcome at the site. :eyes:

Ivan, Lisa and I will be there. We're leaving Friday morning or early afternoon. :wave:

 

[Maximus]

We have decided we are camping and so we all may need to sqeeze real tight together. At least it sounds like a good turnout.

 

[ChuckD]

We can all squeeze in, the rules of the campground were two vehicles per site. Anyone of us can park our rig somewhere near the campground, I guess.

Rob & Zion, what day are you leaving?

 

[Bronco]

Sounds great thank guys thank a lot. I’ll just plan on squeezing in with someone. What Camp sight are you all in? I know there was talk about several.

They give you the actual campsite number when you get there. If I'm there first I'll try to get them close toegther.

 

[Maximus]

We will probably drive down with you Chuck. I am also trying to get my parents to go so I am also trying for some more campsites.

The trail run ends on Hwy 1, between Leggett (where Hwy 1 junctions with Hwy 101) and Fort Bragg. You can continue down Hwy 1 towards Fort Bragg and cut over to Hwy 20 to junction in on Hwy 101 just north of Ukiah. Give yourself a little over an hour to reach Hwy 101 (Ukiah). Once you hit Hwy 101, it's about an hour to Santa Rosa from Ukiah. You can gauge your time from there, back to the bay area.

It looks like our plan is to leave Saturday probably around 8:00-9:00. See you all then

 

[Bronco]

Hay Chuck (or anyone else)my plan is to leave Cameron Park from work at 5 on Friday so I’ll be up there Friday night. I was planning on just exploring on my own Saturday and then meeting up for the run on Sunday but if you or others will but up there, maybe we could plan something for Saturday and/or Monday. I’ve never been up there but just by looking at the map it looks like there is no shortage of good stuff in the area.

 

[ChuckD]

I'm up for that, Maximus and I should be there around 6-7 Friday night.

BTW, are we having a pot-luck, and if we are let's start signing up for it.

 

[WesternXJ]

Ummmm, good idea Chuck. How about a BBQ? We have a dozen ears of corn and red potatoes to add. I'll be bringing a small BBQ, anyone else?

 

[Bronco]

What night are you talking about for the BBQ. I’ll bring some steaks, can’t have a BBQ without um.

 

[Bronco]

Once agine my plan has changed I wont be able to leave till Saturday morning. But I’ll be up there by mid day Saturday so dose anyone want to do some exploring in the area Saturday afternoon. When is the BBQ/ potluck? Will that take place at the Hinckley campground?
