Extended NorCal Blat End of June

[slomove]

No firm plans yet, but some budding ideas…. a weeklong drive last week of June through NorCal (the real Northern California) on roads that are new to me and some nice ones that I know.

Something like that:

6/25 – Trailer to Sonoma (or vicinity)

6/26 – Sonoma-Oroville via Lake Berryessa, Hwy16, Lodoga

6/27 – Oroville-Burney via Lake Almanor and Lassen NP

6/28 - Burney-Weed via McArthur-Burney Falls, Lava Beds NM and around Shasta

6/29 – Weed-Eureka via Gazelle-Callahan Rd and Forks of Salmon

6/30 – maybe a day in Eureka

7/1 – Eureka-Fort Bragg via Alderpoint Road and Hwy1 (Shoreline Hwy)

7/2 – Fort Bragg-Sonoma via Orr Springs, Booneville-Ukiah and Skaggs Spring Roads

7/3 or 7/4 Trailer back home to LA

 

Anybody interested in part or all of this trip?

I'd probably be interested in the first day trip.

That's some pretty country and it should still be green since we are finally getting some of the rain and snow that El Nino promised us. Well out of our rainy season so also should be sunny without the blazing heat of later in the year.

I might be able to pull a few days of the trip if things work out. Will you have a safe area to park trucks/trailers in Sonora?

Well, I was not really thinking of Sonora, but rather Sonoma. I still need to ask around for truck/trailer parking but one of the members here, Bill G. is interested to come along and lives in Glen Ellen. I hope he has some recommendations for storage.

It would be great to have you on this trip. That said for now it is about 95% sure we can go. I have not yet checked hotels or made reservations but will hopefully soon. I will post a list when I have that information.

 

As for the moderate temperatures, that is what we thought last year when going to Montana and Idaho at that time, but ended up in that record 100+ degree heat wave. You never know...

Sorry to say...but work is getting in the way of the important stuff.

 

This trip is nixed but I will keep the route for a future trip.

Too bad; I was warming up to the idea of joining you for several days. Might have to just do it myself.

Yes, I am ticked off myself. Instead of a nice weeklong tour I will be sitting in a few project planning meetings. Can't wait to retire.....
