A group outing in January!!

[Buji]

If we could add to that list whether or not you are interested in participating in group meals, I can take that info and start building a menu.

 

[Jeffrey-SMB]

Good idea. Edited to include that request.

 

[Jeffrey-SMB]

I'm back...

OK, here's the list so far. Most folks are serious about going, and a few hopefuls are also listed.

I also wanted to know if enough people thought it better to meet in Furnace Creek instead of Stovepipe. Not that much difference, but a bit closer to our first day destination. Please email or PM me your thoughts.

I vote Furnace Creek

Lots and lots of photos please for those of us who have to live vicariously through you for this trip.

[Jeffrey-SMB]

You got it, Herb. So sorry you can't make this one. There will be more in the warmer months...

 

[BroncoHauler-SMB]

Yeah, I could swing the trip going solo, but not with the family. I also have my boss and his entire staff coming next week, and later this month I'm also headed to Florida for a week with the family. Oh, and fix some cracks in the plaster, paint both the living and dining rooms, and put down some laminate flooring. OK, the last stuff might have to wait for February.

Pish tosh. I spent the last month looking for housing in Denver, packing all my stuff, got to Colorado Friday, unpacked the truck Sat Sun, set up computers Monday, rewired the entire house (22 outlets) today, tommorow I'm resting and then Thursday the ReloCubes come with the rest of our stuff and we have them until Tuesday so I'll be leaving for the rally the day after our Cubes get taken out of the driveway... oh man, clearly I'm totally insane. Nevermind.

Besides, I don't have kids yet. :c2:

Meeting place

I also vote for Furnace Creek. I'ts closer to Warm Springs Canyon and has more facilities.

Yowza, Jage, you ARE crazy. So, we'll have an adult beverage together when we're in the desert (if that's on your approved food list).

 

[jage]

Well today I spent about 8 hours chipping the ice and snow out of the driveway because ABF said they can't put them down on ice. But the VAN fits in the GARAGE. :a2:

 

[BroncoHauler-SMB]

Glad everyone's not heading to DV this weekend. There are some expectations of anywhere from 3-10" inches of rain coming to SoCal later this week, along with high wind advisories.


Herb

 

[PeasBugs]

The weather report said 8"-10" of rain in the Santa Cruz Mountians and heavy snowfall in the Serrias. Snow down to 2000'.

Sounds exciting!

Sounds like spring flowers in the desert this year! Maybe not like the Big Bloom of 2005, but better than the barren landscapes of 2007. I saw a grand total of six flowers in Death Valley NP last March.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to sit this one out too. +1 on posting the pics, and have a great time.

 

[Jammyauto]

Jeffrey, unfortunatly our plans have changed and we will not be attending. We hope you all have a good time and hope to make the next trip.

 

[Buji]

I can't believe I have to do this too, but I have to cancel as well. We did not weather the California storms too well, and I have roof and fence repairs to attend to asap, as well as some neighborhood trees that have to be pulled. If I get everything done before the 10th then I will be there for sure, but it's not looking good.

I've been trying to play catch-up since I got back from my christmas trip, and I just got the rug pulled out from under me again. Ah well, it could have been worse.

I cannot say how disappointed I am. I was really looking forward to this trip.

On a side note: my van was the place to hang out for the two days we didn't have power. Satellite tv and emergency fridge duties.

 

[lowracer]

We are going to have to back out too. We're finding camping with a toddler to be a challenge best met nearer to home...
