Me and the Bobster and my 12 year old and  much modified  Granby  FWC should be there then ! By the way,  anyone planning to head out to that general  area within that NE Ca/SC Oregon/NW Nevada Triangle  before the event drop a line here if you want, because depending on how wet it is out there, I should be out there somewhere on and off from now till then. My friends up in Alturas say the roads in the Devils Garden are okay right now, so probably head up there soon and make a my usual loop north then east and then south. Boy it sure is nice being retired and living here in the high desert and being able just to follow my nose here it may take me.

Sure Smoke, rub it in. Retired and loving it!
Good for you, and your in a perfect stretch of country, mountains to desert, to do some real roaming. Do you ever see the wild horses there in the devils garden?
Well I am almost done with a 6 week rental rehab. Taking a couple of weeks now to wander the blue mountains and perhaps hells canyon. Was hoping to join y'all but heading the opposite direction, west coast Vancouver island for a couple weeks of coastal paddling.
Have a great time in the hi desert

Im a Strong maybe. Don't own a ATC anymore but I was one of Marty's very first customers when they were building them out of the Garage back in 07. Great group of guys at ATC!

I'm a probably not. I have the rest of the week off and they're not likely to give me any more time off. Working seven days a week so even the weekend is unlikely.

Just a quick reminder that we are only a month or so out... Update your calendars if you're planning on attending.

Sorry to say that we'll not be able to make it.

 

Instead, I get to make the journey to the mythological underworld. Family reunion on my mother-in-law's side of the family is the same weekend. A command appearance on my part is required for the maintenance of domestic tranquility.

 

I Wish y'all a rip-roarin good time.

 

I'll give a shout out as I meet up with Charon and cross the River Styx, making sure to pat ole Cerberus on his heads on my way to my appointment with Hades and the gang. 

 

Au revior,

Looks like I'm a for sure going to make it.  I also spoke with Marty at ATC this morning and he's going to make it.  Plans are he & I will be coming up together on the 26th. See everyone in a few weeks!

Really dissapointed I can't make it, though I will be in the Owyhee canyonlands , and that should be a great time with plenty of desolation to be had. I've never been. Do have a great time !!

Bob-keep me posted on when you  guys head  up! Since you are coming through my country (and depending where I am playing) might have a chance for a meet up somewhere on the way up. My "Bob" was wondering if Marty is bringing that nice girl dog of his?  Speaking of dogs, any new canine members of your family yet?

 

 A note to anyone planning on coming up-fire danger is again real high this year,  the cheat grass is real dry, and we are having lots of red flag warnings and fires up here this year,  real dry, above average temps, high winds, so check the on fire conditions before you head up.  BLM/USFS have issued no target shooting rule. Another fairly new rule-carry a pick ax along with your usual gear!

Don, Plan is to leave on the 26th.  Heading up 80 to Winnemucca, to 95, then 140, so don't think we'll be anywhere near your digs.

If you'd like to catch up on the road that would be great, but have no idea your route. 

No dog yet, maybe in August. Don't know about Marty's dog.   Keep me posted...
