Any interest in touring Canyon De Chelly and or Monument Valley during that time frame?
Hello Charlie,
Am interested in your planning, will know more and confirm within next month.

charlie56 said:Just a thought for a Northern California meet and greet location.
Last weekend we did an overnight trip to the California Lost Coast Area.
There was a BML campground that would serve very nicely for meet and greet someday.
Wailaki campground Just cut and paste this into Google maps 40° 0.993'N 123° 59.957'W This is at the south end of the King Range National Conservation Area
- Accessible for 2wd vehicles.
12 sites can hold 2 vehicles each.
Off the beaten path. We went in 3 BML campgrounds and only saw two other vehicles on the weekend.
Low cost. $8 per night. $4 if you have a annual pass from the feds. (no one came by so we could have skipped out but didn’t)
Piped running water
Table
Fire Rings
New (relatively) pit toilets
Trailhead to hiking trails
Mountain bike trails nearby
Town of Shelter Cove nearby with Ocean and beach access
Class 2 and 3 roads for some easy back-country driving
Nice views, not nearly as spectacular as the Sierras, but nice
Mattole river for fishing
Close to California Redwoods State Park for scenic drives
About 4.5 hours north of the Golden Gate
