Due to the the close proximity of the IRG2.0
I am thinking of not putting on the campout this year.

I did find an alternate camp ground that on the albion river; but would need to make reservations.

What do you guys think???

Let me know.

I had a great time there last year, but it might be competing with with those who come from out of state.

I do hope to see the Cali group at the The Dam Gathering and the IRG 2.0.

gosh, lee, it's become a tradition, you can't stop now!!! remember, IADY???

altho, there's that little l--- ta--- s--ot-- r---y to think of, eh???

tee hee, I know where you're going :lol:

It will be sad to not go to Mendocino, I'll have to come up with somewhere else to go. Actually, thought I might turn the redwoods trip into a longer one somewhere...it is pretty close to the same time as Mendo, might be hard to do both.

I think I need to get some welding done on my teardrop,. might need a hitch receiver on the back!

I would like to do a campout at that campground during abalone season. How about mid Jun (after school is out) or late August? Then we can have some fresh Abalone for the potluck. :chips:

Hey Sue,
I still want to have the gathering but am afraid no one will show up as the Irg2 has chosen the same month and so close to mine.

If I don't get much feed back I do have the rally. If I go do you want to also?

Lee,
We enjoyed ourselves last year :thumbsup:

, but with the drive distance & planning on going to IRG2, it wouldn't work for us this year.

Lee, with gas over 3 bucks a gallon multiple Nor Cal gatherings are a budget and a time issue. It's unlikely I'd attend both Mendo and IRG2.0. Maybe doing it on alternate years to IRG would be an idea if you want a "big" turnout.

The Albion River Campground looks enticing if that's the location you have in mind for your gathering. It could be a nice stop on my way up to, or back from, Dean's IRG. If you don't care if your gathering is a big one go for it. A small gathering, if that's how it worked out, would be plenty of fun too.
Are there thieving raccoon packs at Albion River? :thinking:

Lee,
I'm thinking that it would be a real good idea to do it the weekend before, giving folks a chance to hit another gathering only a few hours away from Pamplin... I know that TDN and I would be there in our finished Little Feather. :yes:

I'd hate to see the tradition broken. :cry:

Besides... Albion looks great!!! :thumbsup:

Heck... If you extended a bit and made it a long weekend, folks could drive from one gathering to the next. :thinking:

by **Esteban** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:38 am

Lee, a second thought. Maybe you could have a pre-IRG gathering/party for people to come camp by the ocean in Mendo for a day or two before heading over to the redwoods. That'd be fun and it might attract a good turnout. It'd make Nor Cal an even better destination for people, like myself and others, traveling from far away. Not much more travel time or gas cost and more fun to be enjoyed.

Good idea Dean! (Wow, it looks like Dean and I are thinking alike!) :thumbsup:

by **Dean in Eureka, CA** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:57 am

Heck Yaa... Folks coming from the South end of the state would not encure major added gas costs to get another gathering under their belt.
Yaa Know... Even if you can't extend the gathering into Tuesday or even Monday, there's always Swimmers Delight right next to Pamplin to hang for a day if you have to end Albion CG on Sunday...
And... As of right now, Pamplin is rented on that Monday, but not Tuesday, which means we might be able to get into Pamplin on Tuesday at noon if nobody takes that Tuesday.

Lee... Mendo is too beautiful to pass up, let's do the gatherings back to back and give the folks good memories of Northern California to take back home with 'em..

by **Gage** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:12 am

That'll even make it easier for me to talk Tanya into getting to the IRG on Monday (to be first in line at the gate). :twisted:

Oops, not Monday but Tuesday. :yes:

by **Dean in Eureka, CA** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:15 am

I've had my fill of being first in line that should last me for about two years...

by **Esteban** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 2:18 am

Please, please, please Lee!
