The wife and I should be there mid day Saturday.. Not familiar at all with this area, so it should be a fun off-road adventure!
Looking forward to meeting the crew!

Wow!  Excellent.

...Don't fret over this whole pot luck thing. We're camping for goodness sakes. Go with the KISS method. That's great if you have a killer recipe or are the master at dutch ovens and want to impress. But getting some packaged item at the grocery store works just as well....

 

Yes, absolutely!

In fact, I've been to many a potluck, especially the kind centered around TV-sports viewing (very much like fire-pit viewing), where contributions of chips and dip or similar easy/store-bought appetizer was much appreciated while waiting for the pizza or chli to finish heating (very much like waiting for pork to finish roasting).

 

And then there's potato salad...even the deli-bought kind.

Ted and Meadow Lake group  -  Something in the work realm came up yesterday that will preclude us from joining you this weekend.  I was very much looking forward to this trip.  Thanks to Ted and the others who organized it, and we will jealously look forward to the reports and photos next week.  Hope all goes well and you all have a wonderful weekend.  -  Richard

Richard, our license plate trim says, :Work, curse of the camping class." (Admittedly, we stole the saying from an early WTW T-shirt Dirty Dog supplied.) Sorry you will not be able to join. There will be other opportunities.

Ted and any other early birds  heading up to the lake-i'm out of here in about 30 min-1130.  My cell phone (AT&T) worked sometimes when i was up there last time, so if you want me to call you Ted or anyone else, when get there, get a hold of me on the message board and we can exchange phone numbers, etc., if you think we need too.  Nice day,

Getting a 3:30 start. Funny you should mention Potato Salad.

Got some things to do tomorrow and then load the camper. Might go to Tahoe Friday night and then over to Meadow Lake. More likely will drive up on Saturday morning.

 

See everyone there.

Currently camped at the rest stop in Summer Lake, Oregon. We hope to to be there Saturday am. Still not sure what to bring. Honeycrisp apples are definitely not on par with walnut pies or roast pig. Should we stop in Susanville for something? Chips? Dip? Pop? We aren't drinkers but don't mind those who do.

We will be driving through Lakeview, Alturas, Susanville via 395, 299 and 139. Never been to this part of California except via Amtrak through Truckee. After Susanville, we would follow 36 to 47 to 70/89 to Sierraville and follow the directions in the thread. Does this sound like a good route or is a there a better way? Just don't like fast traffic (hated 299 from Redding to the coast).

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Any recommended boondocking or campsites on our route?

I'm passing through Susanville (from east of Redding) and from Susanville heading south on 395 and then (at around Hallelujah Junction) heading west on 70 then south on 49 to 89.  But if you don't like fast traffic then you probably wouldn't like staying on 395 south of Susanville.
