I felt that we just didn t have enough threads. Especially one for " stuff" .
Duane Mom - Welcome! We can t wait to meet you. Btw, we have a 9 year-old and a 3 1/2 year-old. The group is silly & crazy, but not dangerous. Yeah, right. Here s an example of how easy going everyone is; Teacher Mom (Sandi) & I took the kids to the Space & Science Center and it was as if we d been friend s for a long time. I just had to remember to call her Amy when we used my membership card at the entrance & gift shop, ha.
Brian & Nick - The NNC site looks great!
Brian - Amy wants to know when Jennifer will not be attending a rally so she can go, ha.
Nick - Sorry to hear about Josh.
Sal - Don t worry, you still have the RC badge. Ours are only battery powered. But fun!
Ray - Glad you re back safe & sound! Did you deshnitz. your clothes hanger any higher? Any interest in the Joe Satriani show at the Fillmore next Fri. (1/31) or at least for dinner/drinks before?
Holly - Is your house back in order? Have you decided whether or not to meet us next Thurs. (1/30)? Backstage for that show looks promising!
Diane & Lon - How was the " freedom train" experience on Monday? I thought of you guys.
Larry/Sammy Slave - I cannot remember the name of that Gin. Save me some please.
Larry/CWB - I still don t know why you and TMM rabble rouse each other so much, lol. It sure makes for good reading though, ha. Your television is all ready to be delivered to your door in Olema, btw. Sammy Slave & Holly are scoring shower floors that w/e also. Just call me the " PU genie" .
Scott & Georgeanne - Kazoo s have been sounding off here all week. Thanks alot, haha!
Well, I ve been so busy this week since Chabot that I just had to read every day and wait until now to reply in one shot.
I ll check in later.

If you hadn t gone to bed so early (7:00!) on Saturday you would have heard everyone talk about how you and Sandi will always be Cougher s. We will give you a kick, er I mean, a warm send-off at the June rally. You re part of the driving force behind NNC for goodness sake!
Kevin - Glad you re back safe from Ireland! Margaret is pretty amazing to handle tearing out the carpet (& the dreaded tack-strip) for the hardwood guy! Did you have a good time? Do they really tow their TT s with the family car there?!
Larry/CWB - I m with you on hoping threads and topics aren t moved again. Although it was kind of an adrenaline rush to come to your defense regarding the TM ad, lol.

Hello Y-Guy:
Are you new to the group. I d like to welcome you to the group. The qualifications aren t stringent, only that you have to possess the love for camping, live IN the State of California and have wacky sense of humor.
Now, pick a number and we will get you processed for your induction and orientation. And please, don t call us, we will call you when we can make room for your orientation.
Tata and good luck prospective member.

Red neff BarchettaLOL Ray, well I m still a CA resident for another week or so! Heck I know when things look bad, 35billion in debt, tax hikes a coming fast, school cuts.. etc I think I m getting out well the getting is good hehe.
As I ve said before I m really going to miss this group of folks... I can only hope to find a group half as fun as all of you, but I don t hold out much hope. [:(]
Then again looking at a new 2,300 sq. ft. house on .7 acres for around $203,000 makes me smile! [:D] I d have plenty of room for my camper! And a riding lawn mower [8D]
Oh and I had a nice plus tonight! I won t need to pay for storage any more. Family friend has 10 acres of parking at his job so I can park the camper there. Woohoo I m saving money already... does that mean I can go shopping? Oops better watch what I say around TeacherMom [&:]
I do think I need to talk to Jeff about my DW posing as his DW though...

Y-GuySteve & Sandi,
Just wanted to say it was great having you as such instrumental members of Nick-Neff-Cough, and as Jeff said, you will always be a member and our first grand poobah. Nobody can take that away from you! You really played a leadership role in getting this group started and we will definitely miss you at our rallies. I remember hanging out at Woodson Bridge and talking about forming the group. That was only in September and look how far we ve come! We ll be thinking of you at the rallies and, of course, keeping in touch here in PUT. Congratulations on the new job and all the best in this new chapter of your life!

Ray (see, I even know your real name), this is exactly why I m sorry we missed you by less than an hour at Cachuma. You sound like a real character! Next time, OK?
I ll take a number. Will I have to wait long? Do I have to wait in the corner? And do I need to introduce myself while waiting? Kinda already did that in the " Free Membership" thread.
Nice to be back. Thanks, all, for having us. Guess what? Until we get a new truck, our camping days have come to an abrupt halt. [:(]
Our old 89 4Runner has been acting up these past couple of months, but really badly this month. Has been in and out of the shop. There s no way it can pull even li l Cottonwood at the moment. We are scouting around for a used truck now, and for something powerful enough to haul a trailer, which we d like to eventually move to. Am getting a crash course in lingo such as rear axle ratios, " dually" , 1/2 vs. 3/4 ton, etc. that I never even knew existed a week ago!
I made a beeline to this board when they let me in. Now I have to look around and familiarize myself with the place. No pop-up indicator message appears when holding the cursor over icons here, making things a little more difficult, but I am intrigued by that reddish flag icon alongside messages that indicate " ...pmsend...." in the status bar. And end to PMS... hallelujah! [:D]

CottonwooderWelcome small, but powerful buddy. Good to have you back on PUT.
Sorry about the truck. Let us know if you start going through PU withdrawls and NEED to go camping. We wound up with two tow vehicles and would gladly haul your Cottonwooder to a mutually perfect campground around here.
OK, let s see if I can answer your questions.
1) What s the difference between a Member and Charter Member? Something along the way that a Charter Member signed up before January 15th.
2) That yellow icon next to poster names looks like either a haystack or corn muffin. What is it? It s a Marie Callendar Corn Muffin. Remember how the Snitz board had popups indicating how many messages one posted? Well this one uses Marie Callendar Corn Muffins....except the Board voted to get rid of the numbering system, so it doesn t show how many posts you have and we ll never have more than ONE muffin unless we become a moderator.
3) Is there a listing of what each icon means? Hold you cursor over an icon for a few seconds and a balloon popups up showing what each ICON means.
4) Why do my posts indicate a direct reply to Red neff Barchetta? OK---I think I have this one figured out at least a little bit. If you go to the bottom of the page and click on the POST REPLY icon, you will reply directly to the person who started the thread. If you go to the white envelope icon with the blue arrow at the top of the message, you reply to the person who wrote the message.
Again, welcome home.
Scott

Hello Cottonwooder:
I am glad you are with us here at PUT and we re quite honored that you hang around our little Nick-Neff-Cough campfire. As for your questions, I don t claim to have intellectual domain on the subjects, but let me try to answer as GSM X2 did.
1) What s the difference between a Member and Charter Member?
Every so often, PUT charters planes to go crisscrossing the country to visit exotic campgrounds. Charter Members are entitled to board these planes for free to travel to wine and dine. Their trailers are flown to campsites. Mere members have to tow their own trailer and use the interstate.
2) That yellow icon next to poster names looks like either a haystack or corn muffin. What is it?
If you see a haystack by looking at that yellow icon, please bring some of that stuff you re smoking to our next our next campout. I ll bring the Doors CD and we can sing " Imagine" by John Lennon together. No silly, everyone can see they re muffins. But if you look closely, they didn t do a very good job. That thing is burnt on the bottom. I don t know who does the baking around here, but if I were you, I d just go around eating the muffin tops.
3) Is there a listing of what each icon means?
Well, there s the official PUT definition. But the following is the Nick-Neff-Cough interpretation as revealed by GSM X2:
[:)]= Two weeks until the next NNC camping outing
[8D]= Mermossas in the morning, beer sitting around in the afternoon, wine with dinner, Bailey s at night.
[&:]= How many more hairpin turns to Mount Madonna???
[:(] = " G-whiz, have you seen my sunglasses? I ve looked all over and I can t find them."
[>:]= Andy Rooney using mousse to control his eyebrows; as if there was THAT MUCH MOUSSE in the world to control Andy Rooney s eyebrows.
[:D]= " Ah, nothing like a nice warm shower at home"
[;)]= " No rocks in my back; no bugs in my bag. Love sleeping in the PU."
[:@]= " I think I got a little windburned at Bodega Bay."
[: (]= Cartoon depiction of what I look like sneezing----but needs to be MUCH LARGER
[:o]= Hmmm, ran out of creative thought....need some help with this one.
4) Why do my posts indicate a direct reply to Red neff Barchetta?
Sad truth is, ultimately, we all answer to Red neff Barchetta. We are all just members of the proletarian class that worships Neff and do as instructed.

Mine are only battery also. Makes it kind of a pain to figure out which charger out of 4 that you need. Except for the Zip Zap car.
Now I could go steal my son s gas powered dragster, makes mine look anemic, but so far we have only found one campground we could use it at. Besides this thing is more annoying than the scooters.
Got some good news yesterday. The trailer is almost done, they are just waiting for the canvas to come back (supposed to be in tomorrow), and then they have to decide where it has to go for the frame straightening and who is going to haul it. They determined that it was just the tounge so all the major damage was to the truck. [:(]

I will definately meet up with you guys for dinner before the show. Do you know where you are going? I can come up with some suggestions if you don t have someplace picked out. Are tickets still available for the show?
Thanks for asking about the house. The ceilings look great, but there is a ton of touch up/clean up work to do.
Lon,
I have an appointment at Gayle s Bakery on February 1st for tasting!
Nick,
How is Josh?

I have never seen it used, so I am not sure.
Welcome Cottonwood; having a tow vehicle and actually camping doesn t seem to be a requirement with this group. Only the desire to and the memory of such things.
Holly what time is your appointment at Gayles. I want to come. Alas, like so many things Gayles is not what it used to be. But still pretty niffty. How come you are in are in Santa Cruz area mid-week ( my tax $$$$ at work no doubt), maybe you can come by the house. Let me know if you have the time. I ll email the addy and phone #.

Red neff BarchettaOMG, you guys are too much. I am laughing and tears are running down my face from Ray s rendition of the i-con s. I needed a good laugh today.
I sure wish we weren t so far away. Everytime you guys put a rally together I try to think of a way to get there. Alas, I am still sitting in Southern California wishing. At least we got to meet some of you at Lake Cachuma. Until sometime.
Jacqui
Glad to see you with us Patricia (Cottonwooder). Hope you will be back with wheels turning soon.

CottonwooderHolly - I got the tix through tickets.com - " General Admission" seating.
We d love it if you picked the dinner spot! There might only be 2 of us meeting you for dinner, or there could be 8 of us depending upon when all of the vehicles depart here. I ll know how many for dinner by Monday. You ve got pressure to come through big time though. Can you top Ray s pick in S. F. 2 weeks ago with the sports section on the wall above the urinal?
2 of us should be in the area of the Crest Theater between 5 & 6. I ll send you my cell # early next week.

CottonwooderGREEN CARS are invisible and subject to being hit by other cars. I should know, I have a green Honda. I can not tell you how many times I have been hit. [:(]
I have often wondered why Coleman and Viking use the green. Very dangerous.
Jacqui and Patricia, plan to meet us at the " Split the Difference" popup in April and you too can be sore for days from laughing. My abs felt like they had been in the gym for hours of working out.

OC CampersHey Jacqui, you, Randy and the rest of the OC Campers should plan to join us for the Split the Difference Rally in April. We are still working on a location (and a date), but it will mean the North will drive for a few hours and the South will drive for a few hours. If you commit then I think we could actually get it closer since the split could depend on who is attending. [;)]

otterHey Otter:
You re getting the hang of rabble rousing. You need a little bit more edge though, but I am proud to say that you are verging on trying to stir the pot and before long, you too will be insulting people gracefully and not feel bad about it. It s an art really.
Like, I snipe at Y-Guy consistently and totally harp on him and he responds with an LOL. Now you see, that s an expert move. The guy doesn t even know I m Rabble Rousing him.
A great example of intermediate Rabble Rousing is how TMM and CWB Rabble Rouse each other. But CWB s mistake is that TMM knows he is being roused up and then TMM gets back at him and gets the last laugh. Now, CWB thinks he Rabble Roused, but the truth is, TMM got the better of him. But CWB is coming along just fine and honing his RR skills.
We have to harden you up. Next time we get together, Sactocampers and Red neff Barchetta will host a clinic, Rabble Rousing for Dummies. Perhaps you would like to sign up.
As you know, we had high hopes for Nick to be a Rabble Rouser, but he just ends up killing threads. He s a bonafide serial thread killer. While Nick might be a novice on the boards, at the campsite, he is a completely different animal. He even out Rabble Rouses me in the outdoors. Like he had it all planned to scatter metal washers all over the campsite to throw off Sammyslave with his metal detector. He even wanted me to join his scheme to float an inflatable doll at Lake Chabot for the Negative Bouyancy Rally. It was really Nick s plan to leave the garbage outside of Sammyslave s camper to treat the skunks that night. But you didn t hear that from me.
So Otter, we must get you on board in Rabble Rousing. I know raw talent when I see one.

I can say I will never buy this color again. I read somewhere that dark green is the color that is most hit and I can attest to that!! (hit 3 times in 1 year)
We would love to attend the " split the difference" rally in April. In fact Randy and I were just talking at dinner tonite that it would be great to meet the Nor Cal folks again because we had so much fun with them. It will depend on the date and place though. Unfortunately, the kids are in school and the mother in law is coming in for my nephew s wedding over their spring break. I think we only have the first and last weekends available. We will try our darndest to be there. Let us know where and when.

CWB s rabble rousing techniques need some refinement, he s still a little raw and his timing is off: I think I caught him rabble rousing about a rally we haven t even scheduled yet! A refresher course hosted by Surfcal is in the works. I ll pay CWB s tuition fee. [;)][8D] Just kidding Lar, you know you re my bud! But Otter seems to have the nack, that je ne sais quoi to be a supreme rabble rouser. She s definitely on her way.

CWB:
Nothing like being busy at work to cause a major damper on my usually boisterous presense here at Nick-Neff-Cough. Heck, I haven t been able to launch a major Rabble Rousing idea that has caught on.
I ve tried to stir the pot about Otter trying to come to the Dark Side, but she refuses and I find out she s like Yoda. I tried to throw some sh*t about using Nick s cassette toilet, but that crap went down the drain. I tried slinging some mud about Snug Harbor and that idea sunk and took a bath. I tried insulting G-Whiz s wine by saying it was like drinking vinegar and she just turned around and said cheers.
I don t have any clue anymore how to get anyone all hyped up. And everytime I log on, people are becoming too nice to each other here on Nick-Neff-Cough, and I only have two small windows each day to Rabble Rouse, before work and late at night after work. Even I am going soft.
I have to rethink my strategy. Sactocampers used to have a dark streak, but he s lost his edge. Red neff Barchetta used to be effective, but he doesn t even know how to change time! Y-Guy is nowhere to be found. Nick is busy herding horses. Hybrid Holly is hiding because the Raiders lost. Sammyslave continues to lurk. GSM X2 is somewhere in the aisle of Vons. Ab Diver is over at the General Forum. Who knows where 6Quigs is. We need someone like Sumguy back.
So CWB, you re one of my last hopes for shenanigans. Believe me CWB, if we don t cause controversies in this group, it s going to metaphorically turn out like Jimmy Stewart s town in It s a Wonderful Life. Clean and boring. We need to turn it to a Pottersville. We need gambling houses, burlesque clubs and bars.
We need to save NNC from becoming too nice. Don t you guys see? We need Rabble Rousers to rise in the hour of need and we are at the bottom of that hour. There isn t much time left!

I think it depends on how you plan on cooking it. If you going for bb-q, then I would say a good dry rub like " Butt Rub" from BB-Q Galore would work great.

g-whizMy uncle used to tell me (I m a good Southern boy) that raccoon is rich - so rich in fact that you only need to eat it once every 10 yrs or so.
And they have a great deal of fat.
So my guess would be to pre-steam little Arvee about 30 minutes to render the fat. Let the little guy cool and apply Nick s proferred rub liberally and marinade for 24 hrs in the frig.
To prepare place wee little Arvee in a DO full of boiling water with onions, carrots, potatoes, stew spices and 2 small to medium sized dark grey rocks. Boil the stew until the rocks soften. Remove Arvee and eat the rocks.

Yes, if Arvee has abnormally high fat content, it may be difficult to properly barbeque him due to risk of flare ups. Of course I could lower the hood of my Barbeques Galore Cook-On barbeque with kwila cart to reduce them, but the question is whether it is worth the risk. Charred raccoon cooked on the engine manifold with 10W-30 as a dipping sauce may be a delicacy to the Joads, but we Northern Californians expect something more civilized [;)]. We want our Arvee served up with full linen cloths and three forks. However, considering it is winter time and we re campers, we will relent. Therefore, I second your recommendation to stew little Arvee with the ingredients you mentioned for a full, body warming meal. If we could only get those muffins back...

[:o] Figured I must have highlighted the wrong program, being next to each other alphabetically, although I m more careful than that. Two-hour download later (still using dial up, alas), Netscape is back, with all my bookmarks and mail intact. Good!
Instead of Control Panel, I then go to Programs >> NortonSystemWorks >> " Uninstall Norton SystemWorks" . Up pops a message asking if I m sure I want to uninstall Netscape. HUH????? They switched??? Any idea how the heck that happened? Or should I just try to uninstall the next program alphabetically after Norton to see if that works? Or is an all-out computer exorcism a better idea? [:@]

I think an exorcism is in order. I got 90% through an e-mail that gave you instructions on how to at least look at the registry to check why Systemworks is linked to Netscape. But the file is given a variable designation instead of a name. In mine its: MsiExec.exe /I{43C3D832-AC96-463A-8FE4-1B8D1BFA2FA3} That sucks.
I would probably just use the WIN DOCTOR feature in Norton Systemworks to see if it can straighten out the problem. BTW--why are you eliminating Norton Systemworks? I consider it to be one of the most important programs I have on my computer.
Good luck.

QuoteInstead of Control Panel, I then go to Programs >> NortonSystemWorks >> " Uninstall Norton SystemWorks" . Up pops a message asking if I m sure I want to uninstall Netscape. HUH????? They switched??? Any idea how the heck that happened? Or should I just try to uninstall the next program alphabetically after Norton to see if that works? Or is an all-out computer exorcism a better idea?

If I bake muffins on Wednesday to eat on Saturday, well, they just won t be the same as when freshly popped out of the oven. If I bake brownies on Wednesday for a Saturday potluck, believe me they will be gone before Saturday! I do miss having an oven when camping.
Mi-mi-mi-mi... I m warming up Ray! Are you going to tell what accessories you added or do we just have to wait to see?

Well, with all this talk about corn muffins and brownies, I propose that they be included as part of our Saturday night appetizer potlucks. I will bring brownies (not Jeff s or TMM s version) to Olema.

I m always with you baby! It s just that Scott & I are apparently the only 2 NNC ers that haven t been passed the peace pipe so we can also see the mysterious PU icons instead of muffins. Cottonwooder somehow is the only one who s PU we can see. I don t know if ignorance is bliss, but I sure am a happy guy though, lol.
Whoohoooo! The PU is currently in front of the house waiting to move into its new INDOOR home on Saturday morning. I take possesion of the warehouse/shop then and the PU is the first thing to go in, ha. Who cares about work vehicles and tools/materials/supplies, lol. I will not miss the storage yard where it has lived the last 10 months. Crazy looking people hanging out in their rundown RV s during the day. One guy stores his van there and takes it out on w/e s around the county. On the side is plastered " Stephen King Killed John Lennon" , lol. It takes all kinds I guess to make this silly planet go round. Of course he s got it all wrong. Everyone knows that Richard Bachman did it.

Tomorrow it s the year of the sheep/ram that begins. Today is the last day of the Year of The Horse.
Hey Otter, I m a Dragon too, as is our 2yo. Two Dragon Geminis in one household is one (two) too many! A bit too flighty/nutty, eh? [8D] (Perfect for this group!)

Hey GSM X2:
I watched a bit of the shuttle disaster most of the day and it was too depressing. When I was in the news business, I covered the first flight after the Challenger and the launch was truly awesome, one of the best experiences in my life. I spent about a week at Cape Canaveral back in 87. I like the NASA program. So the whole day got me into a bit of a funk.
And it doesn t help that I ve actually been working non-stop since Lake Chabot, remember that campout back then? Lots of deadlines and I m cramming before a trip this week to San Diego for work again. Believe it or not, I have managed to avoid, or at least postpone, trips to Philadelphia and Salt Lake City.
So, I don t think you ll see me too often. It s deadline after deadline these days. Nonetheless, a hello to everyone.

Memorandum: To America From God
February 1, 2003
America, this crew you chose, is the finest in the land,
And if you ll pause a moment, I will share with you my plan.
The message I delivered to the crew was very clear,
" This flight goes straight to Heaven, fear not, for I am near."
" My children I am with you, this trip is one I ve planned,
Yes....this trip is something special, it s one that God will man.
Heaven s Great Space Center needs some special help up there.
The Master has now summoned and is asking us to share."
They quickly volunteered for this mission in the sky,
Not a one was unprepared, not a one afraid to try.
" You ll go swiftly to the Master, and that trail of smoke they ll see,
Is the changing of the pilots, for you re traveling on with me."
" You must leave this famous shuttle that you re sitting in, behind,
For the one I built that s waiting, is pure gold and silver lined,
As you search the fields of Texas in hopes to find them there,
Rest assured they re here beside Me and I have them in My care."
" You have trained them well, America, I ve observed your every test,
I stood silently and waited, until you had the best.
I needed them, America, for Heaven s Great Space Plan
Encompasses the entire globe, The Universe of Man."
" I know them well, America, these loved ones you have lost,
I selected them some time ago, forgetting not the cost.
America, my heart is grieved, by your sorrow, tears and pain, and
Though it s little comfort, your loss is Heaven s gain."

CottonwooderOn a more positive note, are any of you using DSL service? If so, which do you recommend or would rather avoid? For the amount of time I m online -- not to mention online radio -- it s time to make the switch.

CottonwooderI am especially sad about the children who lost a parent on the shuttle. That s the part that bums me out the most.
On another side, if the space program is to continue, the shuttles need to be replaced. Instead though, sympathy funds are probably going to be pumped into the program to keep the 30 year-old shuttles running on out-dated technology.

CottonwooderChanging gears:
This w/e has been crazy & fun!
Started Friday with some friends watching Joe Satriani at The Fillmore in S. F. where we first had a great meal, walked the streets, enjoyed an amazing sold-out show, & briefly met Joe and the band afterwards. Joe even talked to our friend (on another friend s cell phone) who was driving home to Napa at the time. Saturday moved into the new warehouse and stored the PU INDOORS! Now I ve got to get working to cover the expansion expenses, lol. Finally the best was yet to come; Sunday (which ended almost 3 hrs. ago) we took our 8 year-old to see another sold-out Joe show at Konocti (Clear Lake) and had a second row table on Joe s side of the stage with a great meal and unobstructed view. I love that place for shows! Took a whole roll of film with no hassles. Met some of the band walking around the lobby beforehand. Some guys that I have gotten to know who go to every Joe bay area gig took our 8 year-old backstage after the show and he hit the jackpot! Drumsticks, pics, autograph s, & pictures! All of them spent more time with him than the adults. Best of all, Joe & Matt (the bassist) came out to the by now empty dining room to compliment us on his manners and to tell us what a great kid he is! My son had brought one of his cheapo pics to give to Joe and Joe told us that hardly anyone ever gives him something for him to keep and he was touched by the gesture.
I m a proud papa right now I must say!
Well, thanks for letting me ramble on. Now I m finally tired and am off to join the rest of the family in slumberland.

CottonwooderThe emotional tribulations of life--all bunched up in 5 communications in NNC.
Cottonwooder--Thanks for sharing the poetic tribute. Very touching.
As far was DSL---we can t get DSL where we live, but it we did, we would utilize Earthlink. We ve been very pleased with the dial-up service. The few times that we have had minor billing problems, they ve been cleared up with a single e-mail or phone call.
Jeff--thirty-year-old shuttles! Oh my, what a reminder of our age. What will your 8-year-old see as he goes through life? My father, who used to grab onto the back of the ice trucks and slide down the snow covered streets of Grand Rapids, MI, says, " My biggest regret in life is that I won t be around to see where all of this takes us."
Your son has a good memory to take with him through life. As a staunch music fan, do you play an instrument, or are you just a fan of " S, D, and R&R" ?

And proud you should be! One of the many nice things that I enjoy being a part of NNC is the children. They are polite and fun to be around. Of course, the credit goes to the parents, which says a lot about our group. Sounds like a fun w/e, Jeff.

How can that be, neighbor? I just checked Yahoo, and here s the info:
SBC Yahoo! DSL Service is available for 805-648-xxxx. Choose a package below that best meets your needs based on connection speed and length of term.
Surely our 4-5 mile difference (even less as the crow flies) can t be the reason. Am thinking of staying with AOL and using its DSL service. Not ready to leave AOL after 7 (wow!) happy years together.

CottonwooderThanks Scott & Georgeanne! He is a terrific kid!
Btw, Joe will be playing the Ventura Theater tomorrow night.
I used to play bass and then decided I d always wanted to know if you could stop a table saw blade with your hand. Nearly lost a finger and did real bad damage to my tendons, so now I am on piano. My DS is learning guitar and really enjoys it.
Btw, I later found out that there is a stop switch on the front of a table saw, so don t bother with the hand trick. I ve tried it for everyone, ha. It gave me a new respect for power tools though.
Scott - We used to ride ice blocks down the steep fairway s at Grass Valley & Nevada City golf course s at midnight. Great times!

Cottonwooder...I am no DSL expert, but here is what I understand about it.
To work, one must be within 1000 wire yards of the DSL relay. The closer one is the better the speed. So 4 or 5 miles is a tremendous difference. In fact, in Ventura Harbor, we have DSL at our office on the west side of the harbor. There is no DSL service on the east side.
However, G did check today. There MAY BE DSL service up here now. SBC says there is; Earthlink says that they have to investigate further. Hope there is.
Jeff--just so you know and can learn from my experience....you can t stop a meat cutter with your thumb either---even if is is in a chain-linked glove. I ll show you my scar if you show me yours. [;)]
Thanks for the musical history.

Scott, does she do this at home too?
I ve got something to post. Received it via e-mail a few days ago. Why should I suffer alone? Here ya go:
Once there was a mad scientist who worked by himself in his laboratory.
He was so lonely that one day, he decided to clone himself.
Everything worked perfectly, except that the clone had a very foul mouth.
The scientist worked with the clone, but alas, he could not make the clone clean up his language.
He got so tired of the clone s language that one day he pushed him off the end of a cliff.
A policeman rushed up to him, and yelled " You are under arrest! You are under arrest!"
" What for?" the mad scientist asked.
And the policeman s answer was:

CottonwooderDear G-Whiz Kazoooooom to you.
Why are we all so busy in February? I am the treasure of a non profit which raises money for teachers/classrooms/kids in a particularly needy school district. This is redistribute the wealth week. I have just finished making out nearly $80,000 worth of $350 checks. My little finger pads are numb.
OH! I finally rented the Ya ya sisterhood film. I m not sure how to read my feelings about it. I had read both her books and the film was a combination plus some very creative additions. The whole premise that friends allow their friends to abouse their children drives me crazy. But the women were such a kick! Glad I finally got to see it.
Sorry you were reduced to talking to yourself. I will try to check in more often.
Hugs & peace..otterhayahaha

otterAnd Kazoom to you Dianne! It took me two tries to read the " YaYa Sisterhood" . My friend had told me it was hilarious, but I kept reading things that weren t so hilarious so I stopped reading. Then I saw the movie was coming out so I picked it up again. I did think parts of the book were funny, but I cried a lot reading that book, too. I never like the movies as well as I like the books. But, then I m a Leo... details, details, details! I ve never laughed more when I read " If Only It Were True" and hope that movie is just half as funny (if it ever gets made).
Maybe you should invest in a stamp that has your signature? [;)] I m sure the kids, teachers, school districts appreciate all that you do. It s nice to hear the good things these days.

g-whiz" Women again RULE," G-whiz said this morning after she added her morning contributions to NNC. Then she snickered as if to make a statement that the MEN on this board just aren t making enough entries.
I think that she just made a drastic mistake by greatly underestimating the competitive nature of testosterone. Come on guys, let s show them a thing or two about rousing the boards.
" rah, Rah, RAh, RAH RAH! Ready, break."
" Guys rule!!!!" My wife didn t say I could say that, so please don t tell her.

Guys rule, women drool! Go BillyBob! You rule at left turns!
Btw, are those cars even made to be able to make right turns? Seems pretty simple - drive car straight, turn car left, drive car straight, drink milk on hood, kiss pretty girl.

g-whizHello Fellow NNCers:
I m just down the way from GSM X2, well maybe not that near, but I m near San Diego in Carlsbad. Man, the weather is nice here. I m working real hard, but if you have to work, it s not a bad spot to be. Check out where I am, www.fourseasons.com/aviara/. I m here doing an event for one of my clients. Things aren t cheap. I ordered room service because I arrived late, and I ordered bacon, eggs and tomato juice, total- $31. Overnight parking $ 18. Breakfast buffett, $ 20. A great experience on the client s dime, Priceless.
Anyway, it s as close to camping while working.
There Scott, an entry from one of the males. I have one more event to go and then I can get back to my normal rabble rousing. G-Whiz, watch out.

g-whizRay -
You are right down the street from Legoland. Our absolute favorite amusement park! You should go check out all of the miniature US cities made out of Lego s. I noticed though that the Lego people trading beads aren t naked on Borboun St. in " The Big Easy" .
If not Legoland, then head down to the San Diego Zoo.
Wait a minute, these are pretty silly places for a single guy to go to, lol. You would probably raise suspicion walking around Legoland, ha. Might think you were Michael Jackson or something.
I wish that was a publicly owned company because this family for one has poured many dollars into those plastic building sets.
Your link didn t work btw.

Man, this board loads fast now. If you look on the main " forums" page, a line near the bottom says " this page loaded in 0.0265473 seconds" , or some other such nonsense number. Yeah, right... it took at LEAST 30 seconds to come up on it s very best day, usually longer. Reading 5 posts could take 15 minutes. Not now: I blink, and the page is done. who says you can t be a happy camper at home? [;)]

Dunno what the speed is, SWMBO was home when the cable guys ran the wiring and their tech-man hooked everything up. I was out schleping boxes in a brown truck while all this was happening. Haven t really had a chance to get the specs yet, so " 1.5 or higher" ??? (all I know is it beats the heck out of dial-up)

Red neff BarchettaOh boy--Oh boy. I am jealous of the man that schlepps around in the big brown truck. We are looking around for ways to upgrade to DSL or Cable. DSL is preferred because we could keep Earthlink. SBC says that there is now DSL in our area. Earthlink isn t too sure. Will keep trying.
BTW---If I ordered an Uninterupted Power Supply on-line, would United Parcel Service deliver my UPS on an UPS truck?
It seems like forever since we went camping or drove north of San Jose. Come on Olema....we are ready.

In fact we are headed there next Friday to go camping at South Carlsbad SP. We have never been there before. Heard it is real nice.

Awards is what are needed!!!
G-Whiz is hereby awarded the BOARDING UNDER THE DIREST OF CIRCUMSTaNCES crown for the first week of February 2003.[color]
Such a clever tecnique!!! Talking to herself. But then her company is the best;
I chose it too.
So we will have no competiion and no penalties here.
G-Whiz rules!!!!! If the drool fits wear it. ( Is that mixing metaphors?) oh well, spell check first then grammar.
hugs,& peace

Red neff BarchettaOk guys we have to pull together here and get Surf Cal back on the boards.
Maybe we could all clap at the same time.. (think Tinkerbelle) (NO!! not tinklebelle)
or pop beer caps simultaneously
or get those squeaky cranks going
Then again..room service at the 4 seasons, maybe I need to reconsider this idea.
Any thoughts?

Figures that A GIRL would say that.
On the other hand, in looking back on the previous six rallies, they have all been remarkably non-competitive. Except for a few laughter-riddled Zoom and Kazoom games (laughter indicating only a few are really taking it seriously) and a rousing game of darts between Neff s son and me (in which I might add--I beat him rather handedly [:D]) there s been a remarkably non-competitive cooperation in the group. Maybe that s what makes it such a remarkable group.
OK--Otter wins. I support her proposal that there be no competition and no penalties here.
On her other proposal to revive the now-silent Ray. Let me think, would Ray support the action of all Nick-Neff-Cough members simultaneously clapping and cheering, " I believe in Fairies. I believe in Fairies. I believe in Fairies."
Hmm, he just might.
Guess I ll hold off my decision until I hear other people s opinions.
Happy weekend.

Awwww, g-whiz, I never won nuttin in all my life. Do I get a REAL crown???? Hmmm, maybe that s not a good thing. I can remember my dad saying something like " You better get going NOW or I m going to crown you!" Somehow I always thot that was a bad thing.
And thank goodness there will be NO competition here as I might have to take the vow of silence for sure as I am probably the most uncompetitive person I know. I will compete with the other G-Whiz, tho, just because she needs to be put in her place at times! Now as for penalties... I can take those as long as they are along the lines of red and white wines. Like say, two glasses of red for saying things like " Women Rule" and a glass of white for talking to myself.
Thanks Otter for sticking with me here. I sure will miss seeing you at Olema! [:(]

Went snorkling yesterday afternoon and intend to do more today. The temp actually dipped into the 60 s last night. It is like sleeping in the pop up with the windows unzipped. Oh! I love it here.
Scott, glad you see the wisdom in non-competativeness on the boards. Me thinks you would be taking to yourself if that were to happen. G-Whiz and I would sure be somewhere else. AND, remind me the next time we see each other for a short but memorable conversation re: the use of the word " girl" .

gsm x2Help! Anyone here know about trailer brakes? We had to turn around and come home tonight because they were grabbing so hard. We tried re-calibrating the brake controller and that didn t work. We also switched tow vehicles. No one was in fireside chat so I thought I d check here.

gsm x2Jeanne,
Check back here to see if Nick or SactoCamper reply to your question once they see it. They both know a bit about brakes and such (at least I think so). Unfortunately I know nothing when it comes to mechanical stuff on PU s. Good luck and I m sorry your trip was cancelled although turning around was wise.

gsm x2Alert, alert!
I am turning myself in before discovery is made and I am banished to canned beer.
I am fully prepared to drink a keg s worth of Nick s brew.
However, I have finally logged on over " there" . Yes it s true. I have to admit, it is nice to be seeing PU related questions, replies, and thoughts again. To tell you the truth, it feels terrific!
I love this group and this area of PUT s and it will remain my first stop when getting on the computer. Just thought I would mention it, that s all. Hopefully no big deal with anyone here.
6 days and counting!

Good old ridiculous technical PU talk.
So far so good, but if I happen to come across any PUT bashing, I will be ignoring it. As I for one happen to like this place.
The funny thing is, I would have never found that place if everyone on PUT hadn t chatted it up so much!

gsm x2Did anyone else see the " # of Posts" thread in the Campfire area?
Someone did a sort of the members list by #of posts. I was surprised that I was the #8 most frequent poster at PUT. What really surprised me is that I was the #1 poster of the Nick-Neff-Cough-ers....at least by strictly the number of posts. I have a feeling that if measured by number of words, Sacto and Surf would be way ahead of me.
What was most encouraging and interesting is that of the top 20 posters, NNC has six of them.
#8 gsm x2, #9 Red neff Barchetta, #11 Nick, #12 Surfcal, #16 SactoCampers, #18 Ab Diver
I know that isn t a contest, but in reality 6 of the top 18 are from our team. Pretty kewl....means we are getting our $30.00 worth for sure.

I can t put my finger on it, but notice how TMM is requesting for more light at the potluck? Is it to get a better look at someone? Is there a PLAN to do something. We have to look closely, white is black and black is white.

I ve just " met" someone online who was booted from their pop-up club for exactly that reason. I m stunned that the wheeled contraption being towed is of more import consideration than being an all-round decent person who loves to camp with the group.

I was very sad because we haven t been camping since Lake Cachuma. The camper is ready for a trip we just have to get our priorities straightened out. So, how did South Carlsbad look?

SurfcalWhen in doubt...disconnect the brakes...(hey, that s what the Eckhart s guys told us to do!) We ended up heading down to Campland in San Diego on Saturday morning and returned this afternoon. Traffic was amazingly light and the weather was a bit overcast but no rain. The pools at Campland were warm (90!) and we had a good time at the dance on Saturday night (people were dancing from age 2 to 92 to a wide variety of music). We also made a generous donation to Legoland yesterday.
Needless to say, the Mesa is taking a trip up to the dealer in Ventura tomorrow, hopefully it won t cost too much $$$ and we ll have it back in time for the SLO Rally!

Good luck taking it and dropping it on their doorstep. BTW--sometimes that s the best way to do it....and let them know, " I don t have a ride home, so I ll just wait."
There is a harbor in Oxnard...our competitor. At this moment we re pulling away as one restaurant after another closes there and we are opening a Mexican Restaurant in our harbor pretty soon.

Timmy came into work today at 4:00. There was a moment of eye contact and unspoken tension. Then I broke it to him. " Tim as much fun as we had on our date for Valentine s, Georgeanne and I went to the Ojai Valley Country Club for Sunday Brunch. I am going to have to cut off our dating."
He was a little sad, but did say, " When I told my parents about our date, they were none to happy."
It s for the better. Work rules would require that I ask for a demotion since I can t date someone I supervise. Hmmm, on the other hand. [:D]

Actually, Channel Island Harbor was a serious competitor---with a huge lead. The Whale s Tale, Casa Serena (owned by Princess Cruises), and even their Fishermen s Village were all more successful for some time. And with the power of THE COUNTY the little Port District with out 21 employees were in serious trouble.
I hate to mention this in a NNC thread, but it would be like Tampa Bay and Oakland in a Super Bowl.
There--that ought to rouse some rabble.

We do---and last night it sounded like dueling keyboards in here.
Here is another tidbit of knowledge: Georgeanne has the uncanning ability to sense when someone is reading over her shoulder---even from across the room---kind of a Sixth Sense. I thought I should write a sceen play about it, but someone beat me to it. Probably a good thing. The catch phrase, " I can see people reading over my shoulder," just lacks zing. Wouldn t you agree?

And come to think of it, since G-Whiz is now speaking for herself, then GSM is not times 2 any longer. Am I right?
So Scott, you might have to do a name change and thus have to drink with us due to a name changing ceremony. And, you can still carry over your number of posts.
Anyway, I m sure I m speaking out of turn and just plain Rabble Rousing. So, I still have $38 in my account.
And Sactocampers, why don t you send me $38 and I can practice that withdraw button.

g-whizI m not going Cottonwood! I will be here in hawaii attached to my comuter, so we can chat. In fact we can talk about them while they are gone!!!!
Darn, there isn t anything but good stuff to say tho.
I am visiting my son here. The things a mother HAS to do!!! Lon couldn t make this trip tho. So it has been a quiet one. I pretty much hang out at the local beach snorkelling, read a lot, do a lot of crossword puzzles, and keep the food going.
A rough life. I knw I will some day live here for the best parts of the year. I love the weather and the slower pace. Kona is getting larger and larger, but it still Hawaii.
What are you doing this weekend?

Our neighbor friend is in Maui right now with his Aunt and cousin, I am insanely jealous! I am sure the " Reyes the Roof" rally won t be the same without you and Lon. Randy and I are home this weekend painting our house. UGH!! Randy usually paints without me but he has decided it is my turn to learn. ::::Oh I wish I was camping:::

g-whizHi OC: Yes, I am wasting away in Kona...not exactly Maragaritaville, but it could happen if I moved here permanently.
Our son lives here so frequent trips are mandatory! hahahaha. I did try to figure out some way to squeeze this trip in between birthdays and the Reyes popup, but it just wouldn t work. I will be here for another week and cetainly be home ad ready for the March rally, although I think Lon is going to miss that one. Our schedules are worse than ever since he retired. I thougt it would be different, but he just stays busy!
I m sorry you are having to learn how to paint. It has always been my job in our household, but I think I gave it up for Lent one year and never go back into it! I paid the kids to do it the last time I felt the need.
Let s keep the boards going while they are all gone. Will they be surprised!
Are we going to see you in March? or April? I hope so. Hi to Randy and the kids!

Nothing in particular, and so will catch up on uncluttering the house. There are also sewing and scrapbooking projects screaming for my attention. [:)]
Can t go camping this weekend because 9yo has a Girl Scout function. Can t go next weekend because dh is running in the LA Marathon. We ve been camping only once since Cachuma [:(], mainly because we were pretty much truckless for all of January. But now we can take the QUICK way to Cachuma, up through the mountain road! [:D]

At our last camping trip a couple of weeks ago, our neighbor had a 5th wheel (smaller than the humongous monsters we sometimes see) and the same truck we have. " He s towing a 5th wheel with a smaller (engine size) truck."

g-whizWould youneed to change your name from Cottonwooder to something with 5 wheels should DW get one?
5 wheelers and cab overs are the only camping vehicles I see here on the Big Island. I doubt if there are any campsites with hook ups. To get to any camping areas inland or for that matter on the ocean you would need a 4 wheel drive tow vehicle. It s pretty rugged country. Rugged lava that is.
Let s meet in the Reyes the rool thread for the weekend. Maybe add a page or tow.
OC???? still painting? take a break and join us.
I m jealous thinking of all the fun they are having... wonder what they had for breakfast this morning.

g-whizHi gals--Yep we are still painting. In it about 8:30pm and I finally got a nice needed break. Randy went over to the neighbors house to watch the Tyson fight. Beeting someones brains in is not my idea of fun. I think I am doing a good job painting. Randy is complaining about drips but I told him he is the only drip. I didn t do it!!! Boy is it hard going with a 2 year old wrapped around your ankles.
Afraid we won t make it to the next few rally s. Snug Harbor is just a tad too far with kids in school and the Great SLO would be perfect but Randy s nephew is getting married that weekend and his mother is flying in from Michigan. If I could I would of jumped thru hoops to get there but it just isn t gonna happen.:::sigh:::
Well the slave driver is coming back and 1 out of 3 kids is in bed so I guess its back to work.

Think I ll make a more direct Olema post on the Olema thread in the rally forums section.
And yes Larry, you did need a shower (very badly) when I last smelled, er saw you around 11:00 this morning. I hope Veronica survived the ride home with you! Just kidding friend. Btw, I looked up my lighthouse pictures before we did our work and the concrete was orange then also, lol! I ll bring them to Snug Harbor.

G-Whiz was at home....thunder and lightning made her turn off her computer----I think this was about the sixth time she saw lightning in seven years out here. She used to see that in any two weeks in MI. She thought it was loud, but didn t see any hail....just a lot of rain in a really quick period.

Didn t you know? It s the official attire for the " Snug" Harbor rally.
Sure hope you all can stop by on Saturday! Ray & Mike will be water skiing naked and then mud wrestling with Holly. The most amazing part is that Mike isn t even signed up for this rally. Don t miss it!

gsm x2It s so quiet here these last few hours. Scott must have tuckered himself out with his herculean effort to reach #4!
Anyway, I m here with a piece of today s mail: flyer from the place where we bought our PU. Holy cow, we bought it only 15 months ago, and it s gone up $600 in that short time!
Let me ask you folks this, especially those with the biggest PUs. These Colemans are currently listed (" sale" price) between $10,000 and $12,000. The 26 trailer with bunks we ve been looking at is $14,400. For that little bit more, you get the bunks, fridge, stove, oven, microwave, wardrobe, full bathroom (amen!!!), aircon, heater, etc. The comparison is night and day to me. Why do people prefer the big PUs? Is it because of the ability to pop it down/storage/easier towing?

gsm x2I think there are quite a few reasons for choosing a larger pu over a tt. 1) gas mileage, 2) you can see over the pu when towing, 3) you still have the feeling of being in a tent, 4) a lot easier to store it (around our area, storage runs about $100 minimum a month and 5) manuverablility. There are a lot of areas that I would love to see but wouldn t think of taking a big tt. I am sure there are a lot of pros and cons but these are some of my reasons
Now I do have to say that in the future (after kids) we will probably look at something like a 5th wheel or motorhome. Just because of setup but for right now our popup is perfect

Actually, Scott had to go to work today at 4 p.m. and won t get home until 2:30 a.m. Before that he had his " honey do" list which included shopping for a new camera.[:)] I fear he may lose a little ground tonight.
We went with a smaller model PU that felt " just right" to us when we walked in the door. We still like it and we like that it feels more like camping. We were upgrading from a tent specifically to be able to sleep off the ground. When Scott retires we will most likely upgrade to hard sides all around, but for now this is just perfect. Storing it in our garage is a big plus too as we do not have to pay a storage fee each month.

Steve has announced that all of the great (and not so great) thoughts and ideas from the old message board;
http://www.popuptimes.com/forum/
are about to be sent to the internet wastelands forever! I personally think this is a terrible idea. That was when PUT was the PU site with the most traffic and along with it, the most PU thoughts and ideas. If I can t search the old message boards about something then I for one will be going to the " other" sites more often to see what the PU fanatics have come up with now.
If I m the only one who this bothers then sorry for the rant, but if not, NNC ers are a significant percentage of the PUT membership now and maybe if we post an opinion on this we can change Dave & Steve s minds about cleaning house so drastically. I like having the old dusty box in the attic to rummage through once in a while.

gsm x2Hey Neff:
I haven t been much of a PUT archive reader. But, let me offer you an insight. Maybe some of the topics we d lose by scuttling the archives could be a blessing in disguise.
I know for sure that there have been a lot of talks regarding how slow the traffic has been on PUT and it s something you had pointed out. Perhaps, if we lost the archives, it would compel people to re-ask the same questions that have already been answered in the old forum. Yes, that sounds like doing it twice, but it would provoke dialogue here at PUT regarding technical questions, something that has missing since we restarted with the new format. And beyond the archives, new information constantly arises and current responses bring more up-to-date solutions to old questions.
I think part of the problem has been that people over time have figured out the answers to their questions and after a period they ve resorted to conducting OT postings, especially in the Campfire. But without having the archives, it might bring more postings to the General.
It s just a perspective.

Very good point and I would love for " new" threads to be started about anode-rod-replacement-socket-size, sink venting, stabilizer mishaps, roof support cable replacement, and other in-depth PU related stuff. Unfortunately though, with the mass exodus (from PUT) of the PU die-hards and fanatics that are able to devote nearly 100% of their free time to everything PU I doubt that would happen. There is incredible knowledge in those archives that allows me to stay here at the PUT site and find. So far, I haven t had to go over " there" much after I have searched the PUT archives. I am really glad we have PUT for our NNC banter and communication port but beyond that, there s not many threads I want to add to.
See you in 3 weeks!

At least on the old board, I found utter disdain for newbies and their questions from some of the oldies; one in particular. It really puts me off venturing outside of our NNC haven.
On the other hand, when looking into trucks and trailers a few weeks ago, dh and I asked endless questions on IRV2 s boards and were greeted with nothing but friendly, helpful replies. I said right off the bat that I know nothing about trucks, and so to please explain in simple language. They did, with not one condescending post, and certainly none advising us to use the infamous Search feature. We confidently bought a truck. [:)]
Yup, " disdain" is the perfect word to describe it here, alas. [: (]

gsm x2My experience was similar to Cottonwooder s: When we first bought our wee guy I asked several questions and never got a response. I found a few answers using the archives. I used to buzz thru general, recipies and fix-it but haven t sone so since the new year. Maybe I lll take a run thru there one of these days.
I did run into some of the archived stuff being a bit dated and no longer applying to the newer pu s. Not mine anyway..but then we do have this odd-in-zzki: the Viking.
BTW our son s neighbor (San Carlos ) has an 88 coleman for sale for S1500 if anyone is interested. I forgot to ask ethe guy if he knew about the website and if he had listed it.
We are in Santa Cruz..anyone coming to visit?? I t is lovely here today.
Cottonwooder thanks for the heads up about sewing in the pu. It is a great idea.
We always need space. Outside, sheltered, lights, space.... I love it.

Guest, who are you? You were signed on as " Guest" for that post. Another plus to sewing in the PU is that all the dangerous pins, needles, scissors, etc. are away from baby hands (if you have a wee one around).
BTW, I don t mean to intentionally speak badly about PUT, just telling it like it is.

Hello Larry.... how s the hand.
Oh! you and Rita would be interested in this: We had Sadie out walking along the beach in Santa Cruz today and met a couple with a dog that may well Sadie s sister. They said they got their dog on Mt Hamilton. That there were 15 (!) pups for sale from 2 mother s; on e goldern retreiver one a black lab. Both had been caught by an Austrialian Shepard. This couple took one of the retrievers and their buddy took one from each litter. When they saw him in Nov he had only the black lab one...said he had given the other away to a friend. That is the same time frame for when I found her. If Sadie is in fact from this littter she was born late April or early May and is not yet a year old. They sure looked alike.
Hi! to everyone else. My daughter and her daughters have arranged to come with me to the Delta. Her hubby will be off on a work trip and Lon will be doing his docent thing, so it will just be us girls. Lon will get us hitched up correctly and we will get there. She is looking forward to meeting everyone. I may need some help getting set up. hint hint hint... Sure looking forward to it.

Ab DiverHi all,
I m back to rabble rouse. Had to do a marathon sprint (with all due respect to Cottonwooder s husband): I drove from Davis to San Bernardino and back to Davis in one day to pick up our minivan that had an engine replacement. Left at 4 in the morning on Saturday and got back at 5:30 p.m. 13.5 hours in the car! Anyway, the minivan runs good and I gave it a full detailing yesterday. Now it gets to sit in the garage until gas prices fall. I paid $2.20 a gallon on I-5 on the way down and back!

I was way ahead of you. Despite a raging headache (probably induced by chewing the same piece of gum from Buttonwillow to Davis) I cracked open two Sierra Nevada Pale Ale s and then Mrs. Sacto and I went to get some dinner.

Dude,
That is a solid run and a long time to be in the car.

Ab DiverI asked TMM to send me some pix of the children from our Olema Rally so that I can include them in the scrapbook. If you would rather I did not include your children can you please e-mail me so that I leave them out. Thanks for your help.

Georgeanne,
I just moved it into the NNC forum since it is now past tense. Go ahead and put the reports here in our NNC forum. We can ask admin to move it back if you want. I think Nick has those privileges. Since we closed the Olema thread, I thought it was safe to pull all of them into the NNC forum.

Well something like that. One of the things I am NOT TALENTED at is RHYTHM. Had to leave the Catholic Church because try as I might, I just couldn t get that rhythm method down.

At first I wondered what rhythm had to do with church, since the hymns are rather dreary. " Perhaps he means the upbeat, singing Baptist churches?" Then it slowly dawned on me. (Where s that blush face when you need it?)

Thanks, I passed it on to him.
He s been training every Saturday morning with the Ventura branch of the LA Road Runners, and his goal was to run the marathon in hopefully under 4 hours. He was overall a little disappointed about those extra 12 minutes, but said he wasn t prepared for so much uphill, especially since they train only on level ground here. I said that he also suddenly had to race in air you can see!
Anyway, we took a look at his group: Men, age 35-39. He finished around 30%-35% (1% being the top; 100% being the bottom). Considering that he s an old man in that group and a hair away from moving into the next group (40 next month), not to mention this is his first marathon, that makes his result even better, IMHO. Here s to next year! [:)]

I don t want to offend any Catholics out there---after all my Grandma was one---but it took me years to figure out why the Catholics are always switching from kneeling to standing to sitting to kneeling.
Finally figured out that it was a subtle way to keep people awake---every five minutes require that they change positions, wake the nappers with a huge noise of everyone moving, and they don t have time to get too comfortable.

Kneeling was showing reverence. Sitting was to listen to God s word. And standing was for..... No clue. I must have been telling Karen to stop doing whatever she was doing at the time, LOL! [8D]

How about like taking a stand for something. You know, you believe in something so you stand up for it. Something like that. No, I wasn t sitting behind you in Church, that just popped into my head all by itself.

Last week I made reservations for a cg in Garberville for July and this week they are booked solid! Looks like everyone is travelling domestically this summer instead of traveling abroad. We still have 2 w/e s available, but will chance it and not make reservations and try for some spur o the moment places to go.

I found everything I needed and printed it up. That s why I didn t post yesterday, ha. What I couldn t find I e-mailed tim5055 for and he replied with answers quickly. What a great guy! We really should have a link to his site on the NNC site. He s covered just about everything and then some, lol.
Btw, I haven t even met SCCS yet and he has helped me already! Through e-mail he helped me get a water filter for the PU faucet which I saw on his webshots page. I ve been wanting one for the faucet since we dry camp mostly (except for the awesome rallies!), but wanted one that could stay on the faucet when popped down and wouldn t get in the way of the bed when pushed in.
Edit; Twilight Zone happening in the General forum - Now the thread is back announcing the move. It was gone a 1/2 hour ago I swear, lol.

Get one of those swim noodles and put it under the back-rest and it will be back to full height with the seat cushion extended out further. It will actually be like a real couch! Can t wait to take a nap on it at Snug Harbor. This was so simple that it never occurred to me, lol.

g-whizNow that s using your noodle, Jeff!. Great idea.
Re: Delta. If I ever figure out how to get there.... My daughter and grandgirls will arrive Friday Afternoon. And will probably be looking for help [&:] Thanks for the offer G-Whiz. Since you and larry and Rita will already be there you can choose a space for me. We are not fussy. WE don t need sewer. Just electricity is really enough, although water is nice too.
I am eager to see everyone again.
It is probably too early to start talking menu..but I remember someone wanting bread pudding, so I will bring a batch. It is my Irish Grannies recipe and I will be making it for St. Patrick s Day that week. Right on time!
Gretchen and I will bring whatever is on the menu! She s the cook; I m the dishwasher.

We are packed and ready to go. We can always be ready at a moments notice. That is what I love about the PU. The talent show is being talked about for the June Gold Rush Rally. I think there is a poll and you can vote if you want one or not. Oh yeah, we are fired up and since it is Fat Tuesday Charles Shaw and I had a little meeting!

Beer in Michigan is like Wine in California.
I was best man at my brother s wedding in Michigan. Whole discussion was on " one keg or two" . Went to the lady at the counter. She asked, " How many at the reception?" " Oh you definitely want two."
We got two---am I glad. No wine on table. Just pitcher after pitcher of beer on the table. Glad we got two.

Checking bylaws. Nope, no prohibitions against talking about camping in an NNC thread---even the rabble rousing thread. (Thot I better make that clear before someone from Sacramento makes a bylaw.)
I hope that the weather holds for you Cottonwooder. Even yesterday s predicted rain only created georgous skies. Missed the sunset playing with my new toy. Note to self, " Don t sit inside when there is a sunset to be had."
Enjoy---as I am certain you will.

When you are typing a message, you should see ten little icons to the left of your message. If you left click on any of them, they will insert themselves into the message.

Aren t we having a late 2003 or early 2004 rally at your new home? You and Steve better make sure all of our PU s will fit on your fancy new RV pad with full hook-ups.
Besides, aren t you 4 coming down to stay in 6Quigs PU in June? If there s no room with them, then I m sure Ray has room.

SurfcalOk, Ok, I really didn t mean that we d NEVER see any of you again but for reality sakes - it will be awhile until we meet again.
At this point, I don t see us coming down for the June rally - to busy getting ready to move into our new house. Plus it s a really long drive that I don t think we ll be up to yet!
But, if any of you do make it up to the Pacific Northwest - let us know!

I can tell you that this family will miss you 4 for sure.
Again though, you ve got an exciting time ahead of you all with a new home and town.
Ray,
Thanks for the cheer. Starting this thread was tough work, but I try and make the grind almost every day. The responsibilty is mind numbing! Or is that Nick s brew?

You are determined, aren t you? I told dh about your Rally (minus the " threat" !!!) and we looked at a map. He s up to the drive; I m the chicken. We re *thinking* about it. The fact that so many of you NNCers are going will be a great opportunity to finally put faces to these musical-chair names we have going here! I read your rally page at the NNC Website. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Mike s only reservation about it is that, from what we saw in the magazine we looked at, it s an RV park, which usually means " parking lot" layout and no campfire. Is that what it s like? (I don t care for being squished in like sardines, but like nice RV parks with things to do.)
So, tell me again why we need to be there? [8D]

No No NO---never ever ever. The NEFF in NCC-NEPH-COFF (the REAL NAME of Nick-Neff-Cough) means NONE EXCLUSIVE. At Olema, Mike s (Nick s) parents were in a full-on travel trailer and his brother was sporting a VW Vanagon. No scoff or snickers heard among any of the group.
OK, here is a trick for Southern Californians planning on attending a NCC rally north of King City:
Take Thursday and Friday off and leave early Thursday morning.
Otherwise--it s just too far for a weekend. But one way to make the long haul up easier....just repeat, " I could be at work. I could be at work." The miles just fly by. As you travel through Fresno, you can say, " Oh, it s 11:00. I could be at work." 1:30 through Lodi, " I could be at work. I could be at work." Although as an alternative, " Thank God I don t live in Lodi" is an acceptable alternative.

I got this from the NNC Web Page and it tells all about the campground. It is definitely more resort-like than some we have camped in. I think there is a group campfire area where we will be having our fire. We camped in one place with this group that I said I would never go back to, but in reality if someone said... Hey, let s have a rally at DV, I d be making my reservation (and bringing my racoon spray!).

Yes, it is an RV park. But it s a very nice RV park. The sites are not sandwiched together, but they are also not as spacious as a state park. We re all amongst friends and grouped together, so when asked, most folks felt it wasn t a big deal. Some of the sites have a largish grassy area behind them. It s kinda like a luxury RV resort. You have to turn the clock back to how this location was selected. The first rally at Bodega Dunes SP was " real" camping, but we had very windy weather and no hookups...and that concern was made clear. So, when I decided to organize the next June rally (remember, this is before NNC was formed, before our second outing at Woodson Bridge in September) I decided to go to the other extreme. I wanted to find a place that had full hookups, lots of amenities, and facilities for kids to play. Because what we found out was that we spent so much time talking, hanging out, and socializing, that we didn t do much " camping" kind of stuff like going to the beach (cause of the wind), hiking, etc. It was more of a social event. So for this year s rally I wanted to find a place that could cater to the " social" side of Nick-Neff-Cough and I think you ll be pleased. The RV park is extremely well maintained, clean, and has lots of amenities, full hookups, and cable. No, there aren t campfire rings, but in the amphitheater adjacent to our reserved sites they have an area for a campfire where we can all gather around. I took a look at the Vail Lakes Resort web site since the Sick-Neff-Coughers are having your May rally there, and the pictures of their facilities remind me very much of 49er Village. Only difference is 49er Village sites are not as spacious and there aren t any views. So, for this rally we re not really " camping" , nor are we " RVing" , we re Nick-Neff-Coughing. I wanted to make this rally as easy and comfortable for everyone considering the conditions of the original rally, so I went from one extreme to the other, I suppose. I scoped it out in August and I think people will like it. The only disadvantage to this place is the sites are a little bit smaller than we re used to, but not packed in like sardines. Anyone else want to vouch for the 49er Village? Oh, Patricia, if you go to the Gold Rush Rally website and click on the little link that says " Want more information? Click Here" it gives more detailed information about the campground.
Did I also mention there s gambling 10 miles away?

Another thing I forgot to mention is that 49er Village has received very high ratings from Trailer Life Magazine:

Here are some pictures of their sites:

Not huge, but not sardines, either. Imagine popups in those sites rather than big motor homes. There were so many variables/requests from so many people for me to consider that I had to make a few compromises. Site size and campfire rings were the only compromises I made. I think this place is as good as we ll find for our group. Think of it as a vacation in your popup and not camping. You won t regret coming up. I ll even put you and OC Campers right next to each other in sites 227 and 229 so you and your pals can be together. Then all we have to do is work on Griffsmom. If she comes, I ll put all three of you next to each other with Tracy & David! <actually, I ll put you all wherever you want to be [:)]>

gsm x2I also have to add something to Sacto s discertation.
When you are with a group, being close together takes on a whole different perspective than when you are camping individually.
Take the Woodson Bridge Rally. Those spaces were right in a line, as close as the Lake Cachuma sites. But because there were nine of us in a row, it seemed like ONE HUGE SITE....the kids had lots of room to run and play around in.
Same with Mount Madonna.
Actually now that I think of it, those places where we have been spread out, like Del Valle, were something of a pain because it was so far from one end of the group to another....we even had to CLIMB a hill to be acquainted with Holly and Peterster.
Of course having Surfcal in the " second room" does have certain disadvantages.

gsm x2I have to agree.
When we are camping by ourselves, we are looking for a spacious site, away from our neighbours.
When we are camping on a Rally, sites grouped together are better,
especially at night, when you put the kids to bed, yet you want to stay up by the campfire, which is 3 sites away, but still close enough to be able to see and hear your own popup, just in case there is a problem

* If you want to hear me snore, tight spots are great.
* If you want processed yeast in the air, tight spots are great.
* If you want to hear me banging around in the morning while looking in the trailer for a spoon, tight spots are great.
If you still want tight spots, I ve warned you...

6QuigsSacto, thanks for all the info and links. Will take a look a little later.
Sorry, I meant that in general (i.e. camping ourselves), we like spacious sites. Ask OC or GSM how our spot was at NYEve Cachuma. [:D]
When it comes to rallies, the closer, the better. Except for Surfcal, of course. [;)]

I will post the Snug Harbor site assignments over on that board....the original one, not the renamed one.

gsm x2Ray, we camped next to you at Lake Cacuma and I never heard you snore, of course all I heard was Randy snoring. Now the outside automatic drip coffee pot I thought was great and the cabana tent thing.
Randy wants to know if he will have to fight you for fire starter responsibilities or if you 2 can behave and act like adults and do it his way[:)][:)] (if I can get him to commit to God Rush weekend)
Brian you can put us anywhere you want, can I request a site near Sammyslave, He and Rita are cooking right?[:D][:D][:@] (only kidding, )

P.S. I am trying to improve my posting status, I am a wannabe frquent flyer or at least active status.

Are you back in?! Site 241 is two sites over from Chef Larry, but adjacent to the creek. I ll need your approval before I go ahead and assign you that site in case you have any safety concerns. But take a look at the map and tell me which one you want:
http://www.nick-neff-cough.org/nnc/id10.html
I could give you site 251 but that would put you within spittin distance of Surfcal. And if you re within spittin distance then you re within range of his other " functions."

There is no need to defend your choice.
That what this " club" is all about. If you like the larger wide-open spaces, then you wagonmaster and/or attend a rally at a park that has wide open spaces.
If you like being " cozy" then you wagonmaster and/or attennd a rally that puts you a little closer to your " friends" (please note the use of the " quotes" here since I m never 100% sure who is waiting in the wings to RR me and try to start something.....)
{of course, I can depend on my friend Jeff AKA CWB to always defend my postings!}

QuoteORIGINAL: Cottonwooder
QuoteNo! We can t have declining numbers for the Gold Rush Rally! . Oh well, I ll just have to substitute Cottonwooder in that site in case you cancel.
You are determined, aren t you? I told dh about your Rally (minus the " threat" !!!) and we looked at a map. He s up to the drive; I m the chicken. We re *thinking* about it. The fact that so many of you NNCers are going will be a great opportunity to finally put faces to these musical-chair names we have going here! I read your rally page at the NNC Website. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Mike s only reservation about it is that, from what we saw in the magazine we looked at, it s an RV park, which usually means " parking lot" layout and no campfire. Is that what it s like? (I don t care for being squished in like sardines, but like nice RV parks with things to do.)
So, tell me again why we need to be there? [8D]
Yes, it is an RV park. But it s a very nice RV park. The sites are not sandwiched together, but they are also not as spacious as a state park. We re all amongst friends and grouped together, so when asked, most folks felt it wasn t a big deal. Some of the sites have a largish grassy area behind them. It s kinda like a luxury RV resort. You have to turn the clock back to how this location was selected. The first rally at Bodega Dunes SP was " real" camping, but we had very windy weather and no hookups...and that concern was made clear. So, when I decided to organize the next June rally (remember, this is before NNC was formed, before our second outing at Woodson Bridge in September) I decided to go to the other extreme. I wanted to find a place that had full hookups, lots of amenities, and facilities for kids to play. Because what we found out was that we spent so much time talking, hanging out, and socializing, that we didn t do much " camping" kind of stuff like going to the beach (cause of the wind), hiking, etc. It was more of a social event. So for this year s rally I wanted to find a place that could cater to the " social" side of Nick-Neff-Cough and I think you ll be pleased. The RV park is extremely well maintained, clean, and has lots of amenities, full hookups, and cable. No, there aren t campfire rings, but in the amphitheater adjacent to our reserved sites they have an area for a campfire where we can all gather around. I took a look at the Vail Lakes Resort web site since the Sick-Neff-Coughers are having your May rally there, and the pictures of their facilities remind me very much of 49er Village. Only difference is 49er Village sites are not as spacious and there aren t any views. So, for this rally we re not really " camping" , nor are we " RVing" , we re Nick-Neff-Coughing. I wanted to make this rally as easy and comfortable for everyone considering the conditions of the original rally, so I went from one extreme to the other, I suppose. I scoped it out in August and I think people will like it. The only disadvantage to this place is the sites are a little bit smaller than we re used to, but not packed in like sardines. Anyone else want to vouch for the 49er Village? Oh, Patricia, if you go to the Gold Rush Rally website and click on the little link that says " Want more information? Click Here" it gives more detailed information about the campground.
Did I also mention there s gambling 10 miles away?

How do we really know if any of those MIA s are REALLY missing? Maybe they are all lurking and laughing at the fact that we think they are MIA. Five out of the eight MIA s begin with the letter " C" . Do you find that strange?

If it eases you any, I wouldn t really call it a river. I ve seen garden hoses with more current flowing. IIRC, there s just a little ravine and you can just walk over it. Either way, let me know when you know. And if you can t come, Cottonwooder and Griffsmom will be really disappointed. [;)]
Patricia, not to beat a dead horse, but I was looking at the pictures of Vail Lake resort on Griffsmom s website and the spacing of those sites is identical to that at 49er Village. Except instead of dirt in between the sites you have grass [:)]. I think the same developer/construction firm must have designed both campgrounds. They re eerily similar.
I was referring to you possibly wanting your distance from Ray s nighttime methane lab. [:D][:D][8D]

SactoCampersIs this fair? G-Whiz is out getting dinner while I am doing a 6-mg download over a dial-up. There is an empty computer just BEGGING to be used.
So, what is the FIRST PIECE of hardware you would try to install on your computer? For me, it is my Logitech IFeel mouse. I actually don t like the IFeel part, so don t use it. But I have the middle button set up to MAXIMIZE and the thumb button set up to CLOSE. Its a perfect match for the way I cruise the PUT boards. Open lots of windows. MAXIMIZE the one I am reading, the THUMB PRESS to close it.
Works great except when I thumb press when I meant to maximize.

But I have the middle button set up to MAXIMIZE and the thumb button set up to CLOSE. Its a perfect match for the way I cruise the PUT boards. Open lots of windows. MAXIMIZE the one I am reading, the THUMB PRESS to close it.
Works great except when I thumb press when I meant to maximize.
Thanks Scott. I knew we could count on you to answer the urgent question that wasn t asked. [;)][:D][8D]
You guys are cracking me up today. [:D][:D]

Wouldn t you agree, tho, that using ALOT has more of a feel of being really a lot, then when just using " a lot?"

Wait a minute--- if you add one lot to another lot, do you get *two lots*, *alot*, or *really a lot*? And just how much is a " lot" anyway? Is there a way (weigh) to quantify what a " lot" (allot) is? Anybody want to weigh (way) in on this weighty (way-tee) subject, or should we wait (weight) for further (a really long way) input?

See why I love that woman. She know EXACTLY what I am doing 95% of the time.
In another life, I was student-teaching in an English class. I was amazed at how many times one can circle ALOT and still have it come back on future papers.
Really urked me.

I know exactly what you are saying, Dave. I am a member of Wait Watchers but have lost my weigh. It s really hard to stay focused when there is allot of food around (like at any NNC event). I know I need to a lot my portions but that is hard to do when faced with biscuits, gravy, shrimp, fudge, Brie, and da** ham. Perhaps I should take a lesson from Miss Muffet and stick to the curds and weigh, that whey when I way in I would be a success.

I just simply pop in a Disney movie and let Walt s head trips do the rest. Fantasia, Alice In Wonderland, etc...

I am sorry you are not looking forward to your family reunion in RI. I am from RI and always enjoy my trips back. However, I do live here in sunny CA, so that says a says whole lot (var. alot, allot, a really lot, and a lought (New England version)).
Where in RI is your DH s family? I went to Cranston High ( in the old days BEFORE there was a Cranston East and a Cranston West) and to URI. It is such a small state, I ll bet we know folks in common; if not realtives in common.
Just take a deep breath and enjoy.

Red neff BarchettaBuy the whey, it occured to me today whilst driving down the rode, that if you add one lot to another lot, you get " a whole lot" , as per our earlier discussion. Now, if what you end up with is called a " whole lot" , does that mean you really added two " half lots" to get a " whole" lot? And if that is sew, does that mean a half lot, normally called " a lot" , is really a " little" ?
Ha! Another universal constant is discovered! And sew, in closing, two wrongs don t make a right, but two littles make a whole lot!

Red neff BarchettaHi Jeff: I ll have you know I have read EVERY page on this thread. Don t tell Ray tho; he thinks I am an an occassional when I am likely to be found lurking around. But then lurking Otter doesn t have the same ring to it. I too am looking forward to Snug Haaaaroaaar ( as we RI er s say) . Rita says all her kids and grandkids will be there too so it should be very much fun. Our planned Kids hike during the naked lady mud wrestling event may be a very large group.
ALOT of kids !!.
Nice one Holly: Alot of aLon.... hmmm. I will have to try that out on him. I m starting to pack this weekend ( so I can bring alllott of things that plug in!!) We won t get there til late afternoon. We had hoped to get started at noon, but school schedules are messing me up.
alot of hugs to alllllot of nice people.

Red neff Barchettaok (or is it okay?),
since this whole allot, a lot, alot, yadda yadda yadda thaing started, I have been giving this a lot of thot. Someone asked what a " lot" actually was. I have come to the conclusion that it is the same as a cubit. I don t know how I ve come to that conclusion, but I have, so there you have it and you can t argue with my reasoning.
Now, having gotten that out of my system, Otter, thanks for the words of encouragement for Maze Fest 2003. My sister-in-law is actually from Califonia, but she and her family moved to Bristol about 3 years ago when her husband s employer relocated them. I m looking forward to seeing RI, but just not with the multitude that is my DH s family. And at this point, I can t even think about what it ll be like getting there with a 2 year old! [:o]
BTW, does anyone else think it s rude of the G s to sneak off kazooing and not tell any of us? Humph!

I can t imagine popuping across the country with a 2 year old, but flying is not bad. We have done it serveral time with the grandkids. Just buy $100 worth of new ( and small) toys/books/ etc. That is ALO$$$T but worth it.
Good luck...

Red neff BarchettaIt s nice to be missed.
Actually only 2/3 of the Ventura group was away from the computer today. I have been almost inundated with them. Got a network set up on the two computers in preparation to getting High Speed Cable Network attached Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m.
Geogeanne says, " Watch out. I may even start posting to OTHER THREADS when I don t have to spend my time WAITING AND WAITING."
All is set up. I am back.
G was at the Kohl s grand opening today. Got some nice rugs for the camper and a rug cleaner for the house. She shopped til she dropped. Right now she s on the couch with her legs up. No comments from the peanut gallery on that one.

Red neff BarchettaI got back over an hour ago but am exhausted from the marathon shopping. I was practicing in case I need to use my shopping skills while in Snug Harbor. Whoever heads up the marketing department for Kohl s should get a medal. That place was packed. They opened at 7 a.m. and will be open until 11 p.m. I got there at 3:30 and had to park a mile a way. I should have thot to bring my kazoo. I could have made weird noises so that people would move out of my way. Next time! Kazoom.

Whew my credit card is smokin . My 11 year old lucked out cause mom was in the shoppin mood. She got most of the stuff. Nice store just wish I could shop there. Not too many departments have stuff for 6 foot 1 in. woman. Thank god for capri pants.

Good thing I charged up the batteries the other day. Get to try out the new faucet-mounted water filter too.

[:D] After walking around Kohl s all day yesterday and then more walking at the HL today, my dogs are barkin ! Kohl s is sort of like Mervyn s only bigger with more stuff to mix you up and distract you from what it is you really need. I m not a good shopper either, but Scott would most likely say that I am since I don t buy much! [;)] I feel like I have too much " stuff" now and need to get rid of some before I bring anything else into this house. Except for another 4.5 pounds of kazoos!!!

g-whizWe did a good job shopping in Solvang. I enjoyed the companionship and the looking. And we did get a great deal on those dolls! But I m with you. I have too much STUFF now. I find myself buying little things for the camper, and yet I like to keep it minimal too. I have weeded down the number of pots and pans and dishes etc. Then I added chili lights and portable shower thing. I tried to find that dish strainer at Camper world..Actually in the catelog and on line....but no luck.
We just finished cleaing up after a family dinner. Lon s cousin and family are visiting from Minn so we had his mom & dad n aunt & uncle over to visit with them . The older folks just can t entertain any more. It is always fun to see them tho and this was a great excuse.
Tomorrow we do the " cousins" party.. Now that is always a blast! And better still..it is not at my house. I just have to bring my spinach salad for 20 and a bootle of wine. I can do that.
G, are you the bread pudding fan? I am planning on bring some to Snug Harbor. I had an email from Rita. She said all her kids and grandkids were coming. Sounds like lots of fun.
hugs to GSMx2.

otterWe DID do a good job shopping in Solvang. Maybe we were just trying to impress Ray! [;)] Maybe you have just the right amount of " stuff" and that is why when you get rid of something, then something new comes into replace that space. I have also gone over the edge when purchasing stuff for our camper. I like simplicity and I have to keep chanting it so I stay on the straight and narrow.
If we get over by Camper World before Snug Harbor I ll look for the dish drainer. Too bad we didn t have a wireless connection today since we drove right by on our way back from Pasadena. [:(] And, yes, I am a connoisseur of bread pudding and I am so happy that you are bringing some. I e-mailed Rita too about food! Let the planning begin. We should probably talk about food over in the Axe Me About My Weekend thread, tho. [8D]

g-whizGeorganne is right. Kohl s is just like Mervyns but bigger. I would guess they carry twice as much stuff. The prices seemed real good but it looks like the clothing catered to the younger set. I wear a womans size (plus size)[:(][:(] and the clothes looked like something my grandma would wear but my daughter found a ton of juniors stuff. People were also hauling out steam cleaners, coffee pots and toasters so they must of been priced good too. I have a feeling Mervyns is gonna be hurting. Of course the Grand Opening usually has better prices. Will wait and see in a few months how things are. Kohl s are all over the country. The first one I ever saw was in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Now they seem to be every where. there add said they are in 38 states.
Did someone say bread pudding??? YUMMM, my favorite. Too bad Snug Harbor is so far.[:(][:(]

CottonwooderWelcome back Patricia! How was Lake Cachuma? I really like it there but I prefer the dry camping in the back overlooking the lake. Or, if it is really windy, down in the valley. We had gorgeous weather here in Ventura. Way too nice to be sitting at a computer all day. [;)] I think it s been nice in the northern country also.

g-whizAnother non-nudist here. My girlfriend told me this and it applies to me. " I am built for comfort not speed" . Can t even think of wearing dental floss for underwear. Bloommers are fine by me. I have to admit when I was 20, I went to a Zen Budist camp up in the Carmel Valley mountains with my friend. I am hapy to say I will never do it again. When you see a guy backpacking thru the mountains and the only thing he has on is the backpack that is getting just a little to close to nature for my tastes

Hey there, neighbor! I m such a wimp, if I can t have all my lights and running water, ah ain t goin !
Cachuma was wonderful again. Believe it or not, this was our 7th trip there, yet we discovered a section of it we hadn t explored yet! Finally took that Nature Walk held each Saturday morning, which led us to that section and taught us the names of various plants. Quick lunch, then back to the Junior Ranger program. We LOVE that Nature Center!
Now, what s up with this non-rabbling? See, I m back, and we re instantly flipped onto Page 26, LOL!!! [8D]
QuoteWelcome back Patricia! How was Lake Cachuma? I really like it there but I prefer the dry camping in the back overlooking the lake... I did my best to raise some rabble in your absence, hard as it was.

CottonwooderYou re Not Going To Believe This, But...
During our first night at Cachuma, we were woken up at 3:30am by our neighbor. They said our heater was " rattling" and keeping them up. (They were very nice, and we chatted with each other throughout the weekend. They even loaned us their electric heater to use instead, so don t want to give the impression that they were unreasonable/nasty folks.)
We figured something must be loose and rattling on the outside that we couldn t hear inside. The guy said it sounded like a diesel engine, but it didn t make sense for an engine to switch on-off-on-off, etc. and that he walked around the entire grounds trying to find the sound, and that he could hear our heater from the " other side" of the area. So the next night we switched it on to take a listen.
It was fine! It was the regular sound that it s always made! Not only that, but it sounded exactly the same as Griffsmom s heater (our neighbor at last summer s rally), not to mention any other RV heater we ve ever heard!
Can you believe they woke us up in the middle of the night for that??? And I was in a deep sleep at the moment, and couldn t get back to sleep for an hour afterwards. Grrr!!!
So, at SLO next month I plan to take a listen to all of your heaters. Perhaps we should hand out tickets to the most noisy ones, eh?
Unbelievable....

CottonwooderThe Coleman heaters are notorious rumbling rabble rouser s. Not to worry, yours is fine. Although nobody but other Coleman owners has ever mentioned it to me, ha. We were all laughing about the " whoomps!" happening around the site circles just 2 weeks ago at Olema. Glad you had a great w/e.
We had a great time also! What a great thing to be able to " spur of the moment" decide to go camping and 2 hrs. later we are unhitching and the kids are riding their bikes around the cg.
I m already itching for Snug Harbor, lol!

CottonwooderSorry for the cheating posts, but I just had to mention that I caught the last 1/2 of the 2003 RV Show on HGTV and thought our very own super host Mrs. Hybrid Holly herself did an excellent job hosting the show! Amy walked in to the room when I called her in to come check out the ridiculous $710,000. mega-bus and the first thing she said is; " That looks just like Holly" . Has anyone else seen the show? It was on here tonight from 9:00 - 10:00.
I missed the first half so I didn t see if they showed the Coleman Monterey or any other PU s or Hybrid s. Did see the Trail Manor (I envy our very own CWB even after his little stunt) and watched the guy set-up a Chalet in 28 seconds!

Jeff-spur of the moment camping is one of the reasons we got the pop-up. Of course, since we rendevoused with this group, we haven t even camped alone, much less spur of the moment---well Mount Madonna was fairly " spurrish" .
That picture of CWB doing what he didn t would have been so bad if it wasn t IN COLOR on page one of section B. The COLOR really made the shot.

Then besides the TrailManor and Chalet, there were no other reasonable trailers shown.....I don t know why, they sure didn t check with me.
I thoght Holly did a great job, even though it was obvious that she was thoroughly impressed with the TrailManor....which is as it should be![:D]

CottonwooderG-Whiz, I saw your Zen-Budist Scott and boy he does look familiar. But I can actually say I didn t get a good look at his face[:)]. I was so shocked, you can figure out where my eyes were. [8D] LOL. The time frame was August 1988.
I also watched the HGTV Rv special. Is that really our own Hybrid Holly? I have never met her so I don t know if you guys are swapping names again[:D]. They did show a popup. It was a Starcraft with a slide-out for $8,500. Now I didn t believe the price cause you can barely buy a regular, non slide-out PU for that. They also showed the A-liner (or was it a Chalet, I can t remember) truck camper and the A-liner/Chalet popup. I also thought the trail manor was kewl with its swing away front jack so you can fit it in small parking/storage area.
Patricia, glad you had a nice time at Cachuma. The weather was gorgeous I bet. My kids also enjoyed the nature center/ Jr. Ranger program. We did it the first time we were there.

I remember Scott reading the " it" topic to me in my pre-posting days, but I really don t know what noises Sammyslave could have heard with all the racket coming from HIS place! Maybe he should get back here and defend himself!

OK. now you know why I haven t been posting very much lately! Seriously, that is my twin sister, POPUP POLLY, she got the gig on HGTV in hopes that Surfcal would hire her for one of his Ebay promos. (Happy belated birthday, Ray!)
This is funny, because Petester saw that advertised and told me to watch it...I forgot all about it!
QuoteSorry for the cheating posts, but I just had to mention that I caught the last 1/2 of the 2003 RV Show on HGTV and thought our very own super host Mrs. Hybrid Holly herself did an excellent job hosting the show! Amy walked in to the room when I called her in to come check out the ridiculous $710,000. mega-bus and the first thing she said is; " That looks just like Holly" . Has anyone else seen the show? It was on here tonight from 9:00 - 10:00.

It really is hard to answer a question when I don t know the answer and it seems like I should since it was me who made the decision to post with a little coercing from the peanut gallery and some nudging from TOS not to mention the fact that I wanted to stay in touch with the Ha Ha Sisterhood so that we could have some hysteria in-between rallies plus knowing more about the rallies and not having to rely on TOS for all the information seemed like a good idea too at the time even if I don t have as much free time to e-mail my family or call my kids or play with my new pet dog that I met the other day at The Huntington and I ll post a picture of me and her (the dog) so you will see that I will now have a pet for the rallies too even if you do have to pay an extra fee for pets cause it is totally worth it to try to answer these questions.

Dianne... Spending time with Sadie, Sophie, Brisbane and Bojee (not sure of that spelling) has help me immensely with my dog phobia. If they come at me too fast, I might jump a little (OK, ALOT), but seriously I don t get the panic feeling to flee from them. You might not know this, but at Chabot I even protected Sophie from a couple of barking male dogs that wanted to have their way with her. Rita was pulling Sophie back, I stepped in-between Sophie and the Barker Brothers, and then yelled at the owner to put them on a leash. Even I amazed myself! [8D]

QuoteYou might not know this, but at Chabot I even protected Sophie from a couple of barking male dogs that wanted to have their way with her. Rita was pulling Sophie back, I stepped in-between Sophie and the Barker Brothers, and then yelled at the owner to put them on a leash. Even I amazed myself!

I was poking around the Campfire Forum and someone had noted there was deal on BAL Levelers at this place.
http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/smg/cb/cb.asp?p=WX2&i=74076
Thought I d pass it on since there s been a lot of interest in these things lately.
Nick has one and Ab Diver just ordered one. I believe CWB has one. And since CWB has one, I ordered one. Now Sacto is interested in one.

P.S. If you want a product review, here s a link from one of our very own, Ab Diver, http://www.popuptimes.com/members/tm.asp?m=11537&p=1&tmode=1

Title: The Story of Birol
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 14, 2003, 06:28 AM
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 14, 2003, 06:28 AM
SurfcalHere s a story that ll warm your heart. For those that don t often visit the General and Campfire forums, I ll bring you up to speed.
Birol is a member of PUT and he is a frequent poster in the above forums. He is a Turkish immigrant that lives in Canada. During his many postings, we ve learned of his lack of employment and how he s been looking for a job for sometime now.
But along the way, he s always wanted to get into PopUpping, but without a job, there s no possibility of getting a camper. In fact, he s never really camped before and doesn t even own a tent nor all the other accessories that go along with the hobby.
Long story short, NightOwl started the conciousness among the national membership that people send Birol their excess camping items to help Birol become a camper. Well, the drive spurred a couple of PUT members to gather some of their stuff, invite Birol to drive down from Canada to collect his stuff in Virginia. Well, here s where this link picks up the story...
http://www.gonecamping.net/stories/birols_tent.html
And to boot, Birol was one of those folks whose membership was sponsored by another member. I thought I d pass on this story as an amazing testament to the community that we ve all built as PUT members.
Even during troubled times, it s good to know that goodwill still fosters amongst the humble, especially on PUT.

- I am eliminating the unecesssary shortcuts by right-clicking on them and choosing DELETE. This has been useful in the FOLDERS where there are README and UNINSTALL files.
- If the only thing left in a folder once you delete the README and UNINSTALL shortcuts, you might as well CLICK AND DRAG the icon down where the other PROGRAM ICONS are and delete the folder.
- Now you can EITHER right click on one ICON and choose, SORT BY NAME, or you can just CLICK AND DRAG the icons into whichever order you want them. [/ul]
Dang, now I have something else to do....come on RAIN....keep me in tomorrow.[:)]

Its inclusion in the bylaws wasn t necessary because it is COMMON USAGE, akin to using PUT.
" pulling a Sacto" is to say that you re coming to a rally, then backing all or part of the family unit out.

Yuppiville or not it ll be wet and probably noisy in tents on the coast this weekend. If we were in Santa Cruz we would bring you a bit of Baileys, Ray, but we are in MP and running around in cirlces this weekend. Darn....[:@]
Re: Kansas..There might be enough room there for a coast to coast Rally, but it will be a hard sell. We ll have to talk to the Kansas people. I think I have heard that the geographical center is somewhere in S. Dakota...but that probably includes Alaska. Maybe we could argue the inclusion Hawaii and move it west a bit.
Our plans for the Snug Harbor weekend are back to Plan A. My daughter, 3 grand girls and I ( the Otter) will arrive late...can t leave til after school so it will be 3ish and we will hit traffic. Lon will stay home with the dogs. We are still twisting his arm to come along with us, but that would mean 2 cars and he thinks he would rather stay home.
OH! Did you hear that he was doing his docent thing at Ano Nuevo when this lovely lady stepped in front of him and said, " Doya pop-up."
Yup! It was our very own Margaret Quigly!! You had him going there for minute , Margaret! Small world. Sorry for the looooooong post. I hope it does not infringe on any bi-laws.

Yup! It was our very own Margaret Quigly!! You had him going there for minute , Margaret! Small world. Sorry for the looooooong post. I hope it does not infringe on any bi-laws.

Yes, throw me a life boat!
Actually, I just got back from work. On my way home on Telephone Road, thought I d hop into Kohl s to use that $10 card they stuck in those flyers. HA! I shouldn t have even bothered when I noticed that not only was there no parking, but the line down Telephone was about a block long. Actually made it into the store, only to see the even longer checkout lines, and made a beeline back out the door.
Now I m going to try to make it into Vons. If I don t re-surface soon, send TOS in to find me, LOL!

Well then, this should make you feel better. The second Griffin turned 2, we put him in sunday school, so that we could (1) both sit in the pew longer than 4 seconds without having to take turns taking him outside so as not to disturb those around us; (2) sit quietly without having to perform calisthenics and physical contortions as we stretch under the pew in front of us to retrieve Pooh Bear, a sippy cup, and the entire container of cherrios that he just " accidentally" dumped; (3) actually hear the sermon; and (4) allow those sitting around us within a 10-foot radius to actually hear the sermon.
But every other Sunday, our church offers communion, so we pull him out of his sunday school class early to get a blessing (trust me, the kid needs all the blessings he can get!), and as I walk into the sanctuary with him, he immediatley blurts out, in his regular two-year-old speaking megaphone voice, " whassat?" And mind you, not just once, but over and over and over. [:o] There is nothing like having the whole congregation of your church turn around en masse as one collective body to look at who s child is the loudmouth. Besides, you d think they d just know by now anyway and wouldn t have to turn around anymore! And let s not forget once we re done with communion and we re singing the closing hymn, Griffin joins in singing too. Of course, it s pretty much a single note wailed at the top of his voice. Good thing our Pastor, music director and congregants are good-natured people and fond of our boy![:)] Otherwise, I m pretty sure they would have run us out the church on a rail long before now! [&:]

QuoteORIGINAL: CottonwooderThe corporate, conglomerate nature of the company has left nothing but a bad taste in my mouth; I have a particular dislike for Eisner; the cost to get into the parks is absolutely outrageous, and IMHO, uncalled for, not to mention food, beverages, and souvenirs once you re inside (how are large families able to afford it?); it makes me furious how they threaten to pull movies off of the for-sale shelves and make them unavailable for " 10" years so that parents feel they have no other option but to rush out and buy the movies so that their children won t miss out on childhood memories their parents want them to have; and I disagree with the messages they send to children--espeically girls--in their movies. Simply put, shouldn t it all be for the children and not the pockets of the suits running the company? (putting soapbox away...you re probably sorry you asked the question...>[:)]

You forgot the one about preschools, daycares, etc. not being legally permitted to show Disney videos on their premises because of I-forget-what-stupid-reason. Something to do with having to pay an extra fee to show it?
Yes, one day at Disneyland can fund about 4 weekends of camping trips for us.

CottonwooderI would think that as women, you gals would especially dislike Disney. Walt hated strong women and had a serious problem/attitude towards his mother. Women are " usually" the villian, cause of the problem, or dead or killed in Disney movies. Bambi, 101 Dalmations, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, etc... We have a few Disney movies ourselves, but that guy and his legacy gives me the creeps. As for Michael Eisner, he needs your money to pay for his $130,000,000.00 stock option bonuses each year. How s a guy to survive, especially when the greedy assembly line workers and the employees at the parks actually had the nerve to request 10 more minutes added on to their daily breaks last year, lol?
Sorry about the rant, but as you can see Disney does not rate very high in this house.
Btw, I can t remember his name, but the CEO before Eisner " worked" for Disney for 8 1/2 months and left with $90,000,000.00 in his account!

Disney is a definite no=no in my house. I like more clothes on my female s/heros. Disney uses a classic/predictable story line. KId s parents are dead, kid is being raised by the wicked witch of the west; Kid disobeys...causes all kind of havoc for everyone around him/her, but saves the day by accident...and becomes the hero. And we wonder , " What is wrong with kids these days" . As a;ways oit is the $$driven adults that lead them like sheep down the golden path. I m glad I hang out tiwth people who like to take their kids camping....although I do wonder how many VCR s are disguised as porta-potties in some of the pop ups.

Oops, since we re playing true confessioins, we have the tv/dvd combo too, but my dh bought it--I only fought it until I realized that if winnie-the-pooh is playing, you can actually set up camp and maybe even get a meal prepared before you can no longer handle the two-year-old and still do those things at the same time! The bad part about it is that Disney owns the rights to Pooh and of course has commericalized it beyond recognition. I think I even remember reading somewhere that the estate of A.A. Milne was not happy about it and threatening to pull back rights. Unfortunately, Lil Griffy is addicted to Pooh so we re stuck for the long haul [:(]

Oops, since we re playing true confessioins, we have the tv/dvd combo too, but my dh bought it--I only fought it until I realized that if winnie-the-pooh is playing, you can actually set up camp and maybe even get a meal prepared before you can no longer handle the two-year-old and still do those things at the same time! The bad part about it is that Disney owns the rights to Pooh and of course has commericalized it beyond recognition. I think I even remember reading somewhere that the estate of A.A. Milne was not happy about it and threatening to pull back rights. Unfortunately, Lil Griffy is addicted to Pooh so we re stuck for the long haul [:(]

Uh...guilty as charged. We have the TV/DVD combo too. But Elmo and Baby Einstein aren t Disney are they <knees chattering>? [&:][&:]
Okay, I ll fess up. We have Winnie the Pooh too. I m not going to deprive Sacto toddler of Disney movies because of my issues with corporate greed [;)][8D]. Not sure how to explain that to a toddler. But Mrs. Sacto and I have agreed that Disneyland will be a once-or-twice in their childhood event.
On a different note, the popup served as an extra bedroom the past few days as we ve had my SIL and her family at our house since Wednesday night. They may be with us through this week, so the popup and TV/DVD combo have come in handy since 8 people and a dog inside a 1250 sq foot house can get a little tight. Their two kids are 4 and 7 and can get a little stir crazy after a weekend cooped up in the house cause of the rain.

gsm x2I have been viewing the site here for several days waiting for my PUT membership to activate before I could officially log in as something other than the anonymous guest. I m a little embarassed to admit it, but I had to exchange emails with PUT before I realized that the password I used to register my membership wasn t the same I would use to login. Of course, I did it all in my husband s name - so he ll have to take the fall for that one.
I d have him take the blame for this next inquiry but I m afraid he ll change his password if I create too much unwanted attention. So here goes - does anyone know how we change our screen name? I mean Ralph Hilton is a nice enough name (after all I was willing to add it to my Mrs. when we got married) but after spying on, I mean lurking about, I mean viewing all the posts on the NNC site the last couple of days -allright weeks - we re ready to jump right in the thick of it all. If it is possible to change it, I was thinking something along the lines of Sleepless in Seattle -only more like " Clueless in Sacramento" . That pretty much sums up my experience to date.
Although several weeks have passed since our inagural rally at Olema we keep talking about the great time we had as we prepare for Snug Harbor. Thank you Holly for your efforts to accomodate us, despite our last minute decision to make the rally. I m stocking up on guacamole, chips, salsa and top shelf margaritas to share with all our new friends. You think I m clueless now - you should see me after some tequila and grand marnier.
For those of you who missed us at Olema, my name is Madlyn and of course Ralph is the terrific guy who chooses to keep me along for the great times. We have a 4 y.o. boy and our little girl is 14 months. We feel very lucky to have met this group and have been warmly welcomed by all we have met!

I am not sure about changing your name but I know it can be done. I think you just have to e-mail the PUT gods and they will change it for you.
Again welcome to you and your family from the Sick-Neff Coughers.

gsm x2Hi Madlyn-Ralh-Hilton-clueless in Sactramento. I m Otter -Dianne- from Menlo Park/Santa Cruz...and we missed Olema. Our daughter and I and 3 of the grandkids are coming to Snug Harbor however.
We ll meet then I m sure. It looks like close quarters.
Ok, here is my problem-de-jour.... I just popped up the Viking after it sat for 2 months and Voila! Mold/mildew.....The bed curtans are a mess. Anyone know why the instruction manual says DRY clean rather than just wash the silly things?? Also lots of mold on the tent/canvas, inside and out. The mold on the ceiling wiped off with those bleach enhanced towel things. But it didn t do much on the tenting. I search mr. Fix-it with no success and have an email in to Viking, but hope someone here has some suggestions. There is no smell, but it looks awful.
I ll be watching. Gotta use the little guy mor e often. I think I will leave it up like Cottonwooder does. Makes sense. But it s parking space is right out the kitchen window.
I ll be watching for some tried and true solutions.

Uh, oh. G-Whiz, Otter, Rita, et al.: Looks like you found another member for the Ha-Ha Sisterhood.
That was a subtle hint for you to sign up for the Gold Rush Rally.
I have to give a high five to all the Southern Californians for welcoming the new members and being supportive of Nick-Neff-Cough. You guys really do add a lot of fun and humor to the group. So, as Cottonwooder says:

gsm x2Diane - I remember you were scrubbing the canvas in January at Lake Chabot. I think you ve obviously got a leak somewhere. Try searching the archives here;
Well, I just tried the archive link and they are still unavailable! Sorry. The Coleman site just suggests warm water and mild soap! Guess they don t want to be responsible if their suggestion were to cause staining or something. I think there s a Viking forum somewhere on PUT btw. You might post there as well. Some folks that have snow sit on top of their PU s all winter might have some solutions. I just checked tim5055 s (who s in MD) site, but he doesn t address this issue.

Patricia... are the marks you are referring to on the canvas on the " ceiling" part of the bed? If so, then it might be your aluminum door causing the marks. We have tried to get them off and you can with some elbow grease and some of that orange solvant-type stuff, but it s ALOT of work and gives me a pain in the neck! We now cover our door with two old beach towels so it doesn t rub against the canvas.

I did email Viking.
I will search a little more in a while . The best I have found is 5% solution of bleach, which will do zippo. Maybe they are just spots, Cottonwooder and not mold. Hopefully the outside ones are that.
I had forgotten I was trying somethng at Chabot. And I did have leaks, at the seams. Did the seam seal thing there. Maybe another sealer treatment would be helpful. It was covered all that time.
Well, I ll keep plugging.
Getting eager to see everyone. But this week is freaking me out. The world should be exploding as we are drinking margaritas at Snug Harbor. It ll take some doing.

I m another " Snicker " from down Orange County way (I don t expect anyone to know where Foothill Ranch is; heck, most of OC doesn t know where Foothill Ranch is!) This group is the greatest, which you probably already know since you ve been to one of the rallies. If I can ever slip a little Benadryl into my 2 yo s sippy cup, I may be able to drive the distance to make one of them these days.
If you aren t hindered by driving distances, there s a little get-together May 2-4 down in Temecula that you (and anyone and everyone from NNC) is welcome at--the 2003 So-Cal Pop Up Round Up. Sure, our rally names aren t as clever as our Northern brethren, but then again, that s what happens when you re the " Least Northern Part of NNC" [;)] If you d like to attend, just drop me a line or visit the rally forum and post under the " 2003 May SoCal Roundup" thread.
Again welcome, and be sure to flip a page or two before C wooder catches on to you[;)]

6QuigsA couple of years ago we made up a Popup song when driving through Temecula. We sang it over and over again because it was so good. Now we ll just have to remember the exact words, then we ll propose that it become the Official SoCal Rally song.
It went to the tune of the Happy Wanderer
The happy wanderer
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-de-ri--Val-de-ra-
Val-de-ri--Val-de ha ha ha ha ha ha
Val-de-ri--Val-de-ra.
My knapsack on my back.
But instead of singing the Valderi--Valdera, you sing Temeculi--Temecula and I know that its " A popup in the back." We ll come up with it on the way to Snug Harbor if not before.

Wow, I just read through this whole issue. Still the happiest place on earth to me! As a matter of fact, we are going to Disneyland the week after Snug Harbor for Pete s birthday! I especially love Epcot. Unfortunately, it sounds like I am in the minority, but the tickets to Disney are a lot cheaper than a lift ticket at most of ski resorts.....and a two hour movie at night costs what, 8 or 9 bucks. My Disney tix were a bargain in comparison.
margaritas ? we are bringing the blender! Finally, someone will drink margaritas with us!
QuoteLOL! That song is exactly why I ve been avoiding the inevitable--Griffin s first trip to Disneyland! Besides, I hate Disney!!! I know Walt is turning in his grave...

QuoteThank you Holly for your efforts to accomodate us, despite our last minute decision to make the rally. I m stocking up on guacamole, chips, salsa and top shelf margaritas to share with all our new friends. You think I m clueless now - you should see me after some tequila and grand marnier.

NickDisneyland and Disney movies are very different. Walt would NEVER allow such scantily clad women..Or theose gusy with beards work for (minimum wage ) at the d=land or the d=world . But then double standards reign supreme everywhere. I love going to D=land, once every 15 years. That total break from reality is ok for a day or 2. The videos that play on my tv in my house is another thing all together.
Let s all go to D-land!. a nccnephcoff pop up with the mouse...cool. Anyone ready to wagon master that one?
Well, I am quickly becoming the mold treatment queen. My first line of attack has always been bleach. I used those Chlorox whipes on what I had. Forget that. It actually does stop the growth, but sets the stain. I may never get rid of itthe stains. There is a product at most marine supplies Star Brite, I think is the name. It did nothing. It washed everything nicely, but didn t take the mold stains out.
I am trying to get a product called Iosso now. The closest dealer who sells it in Golita. So mail order/web order is the only way to go and that takes a while. It is what Viking recommedented. It is a powder that is mixed with warm water and best pump/sprayed on. Foamy and is supposed to remove the mold and the stain. It may be too late for me as far as the stains go.
All products de=water proof your tenting. So then you have to re water proof it.
I feel better that the mold is not still growing, but wish I could get rid of the stains.
So I think I am mold-less, but can t prove it because of the stains. Its like being the slim young thing hidden in this aging roll-poly body...
Tomorro wnight is campfire right?

IT s the wife checking in. Didn t jump in on this thread earlier for fear of being bashed for liking Disney. [;)]
We are fans of Disney. We find the parks a get-away from reality. Our children enjoy the rides, the theming and the characters.
I believe Walt wanted to create a fun, family atmosphere and I believe that Disney has accomplished that. Do I think Disney is perfect - no. Do I think they can make improvements - sure - most companies can. Am I a big Eisner fan - no. Do I think the company has suffered under his leadership - sure. Do I think they make tons of money - of course - so do a lot of movie companies or any very large corporation for that matter.
I tend not to get wraped up in underlying meanings of movies, literature. I m not that deep!!!!! (can you tell I wasn t a Lit major) We enjoy Disney movies - again - fairly family oriented - fairly clean cut - usually well done and entertaining. Not all are perfect - again, just like anything.
Because Disney is a " family" company, I think they are overly critized (in general) if they fall short in some peoples eyes.
I could go on and on but won t. We love the Mouse - we have made some great family memories at the Disney parks. Two particular memories are Sean hugging Pluto with all his might at a tender age of 9 months and Scott walking down the monorail ramp at the end of a long day in the park - holding his grandmothers hand.

NickA D-land rally?? Way cool. I think we could make that rally. It is only 8 miles from our house. I bet we could get Griffsmom there too. I don t know if I could wagonmaster anything that large though. Plus most of the cg s around there are RV parks of state parks. Hmm, may have to think about this one.
My only gripe about Disneyland is the crowds. It seems that no matter what day, what time or what season the crowds are unbearable. We have lived close to the park for almost 5 years and have been there 3 times
Jacqui
Sorry about the mold problems. Wish I could help. Goleta wasn t too far from Lake Cachuma, too bad it didn t happen while you guys were down here.

NickWhat has lilliPUT come to? Can t we just all get along? LilliPUT has come down to this, pro-Disney and anti-Disney.
There are those who accuse that the Disney regime is being run by a lunatic, preying on hapless consumers and usurping other corporations. And there are those who just are just content to let it ride and let Eisner be Eisner.
Sentiments are running high for the anti-Disney movement and there are protests in the land. How dare he run a company purely for profit with no regard for childhood memories and respect for the heritage of a fantasy. It s a small world after all.
But then there are those who stand by Eisner, allowing him run his Magic Kingdom and his many palaces, and forcing his subjects to shave their facial hair. From cruise ships, to network television, to cultural hegemony in Europe, Eisner s influence is uncontainable.
And the people have become extremely agitated, fueling high hopes that Eisner will move on, without confrontation, without controversy and take exile, perhaps at neighboring institutions like Seven Flags or Legoland.
But that is not the case, for stockbrokers strongly support Eisner and this small loyal band aims to keep him in power, if only because its resources keeps the money flowing in, and it is this tight guard that keeps him in power.
But perhaps, he can only be taken down from power by brute force. It is brewing to become a troublesome conflict. We will just have to wait to see what transpires.

Sworn to absolute secrecy following an inside tip from the FBI that SS was actually a Bin Laden Lieutenant charged with cruising the PUT Boards looking for tidbits like what Ventura Harbor s Homeland Security plan is.
But just so you don t think that we are unprepared, have you ever noticed that their are three elevated towers strategically placed on three of the four corners of the harbor? Check it out next time you are in the harbor. Not many people notice this.

Jacqui s right. The RV parks that are a few blocks from D-land are nothing more than asphalt parking spaces that are ramma-jamma next to each other, and that s being kind. Camping overnight at Park Wal-Mart would be more scenic than these places. Canyon RV Park (sometimes known as Featherly Park, http://www.canyonrvpark.com/) could work. It s located off the 91 fwy and the 241 tollroad and is more convenient than some of the state parks (e.g., San Onofre, San Clemente, and some places off Ortega hwy in San Juan Capistrano). It has a more rural setting, but Dee4j commented that you can hear the traffic going by. I suppose we could endure it for the sake of an NNC D-land rally. Dee had also mentioned maybe having an impromptu outing there the weekend of April 11th, and if we go, I could check it out and report back.
You re right about that, and since this rally would most likely need to be in one of the summer months while the kids are out of school, we may just have grin and bear the crowds; but hey with this group, I think we could grin and bear just about anything! July could work, since there is no rally currently planned for that month. My vote would be for July 18th or after, since we ll be in Rhode Island the last week of June/first week of July.

A D-land rally?? Way cool. I think we could make that rally. It is only 8 miles from our house. I bet we could get Griffsmom there too.

QuoteMy only gripe about Disneyland is the crowds. It seems that no matter what day, what time or what season the crowds are unbearable.

NickLori, I was also thinking Canyon RV. We have had our church campout there and it is quite nice except for the 91 fwy which runs right next to the park[: (] It has a nice pool and a sprinkler area where the kids can run thru them instead of going to the pool. They also have a small store. They have full-hookups (at least they were in the process of putting in sewer when we were there in August. There are also plent of trees and grass in case there is a tenter amongst us.
I too would grin and bear D-land for a rally. I guess Nick will just have to provide some extra " brew" for those long lines.

Info gathered from a Mousesavers site:
Generally, there are three " seasons" at Disneyland: Value Season (roughly January, February, last three weeks of October, first three weeks of November, and first three weeks of December) is the least crowded time. Regular Season (roughly the months of March, early and late April, all of May and June, and last week of August through first week of October) is moderately crowded. The most crowded time of year is Peak Season (roughly mid-April, July, first three weeks of August, and dates around Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year).
So if we were to plan a " House of Mouse" rally and wanted to minimize crowds while still not having to pull the kids out of school, we could hold the rally on the last weekend (before Labor Day) in August. That would be the weekend of the 22rd through the 24th (Fri-Sun). If the neffers wanted to join us, they would be camping back-to-back from their prior Halfdome Hyjinx" weekend.
Any interest?

Tower #2 to prevent terrorist attack by boat is the tower of the National Park Service Visitor Center. Please note the peculiar design of the three " telescopes" and how they stratigically face different directions.

Sorry I missed the chat.

Sounds like a great time was had by all, although I m not so sure about all the f*rting that was rumored to have been going on. I don t need to go to a chat room to have others " sharing" that with me...remember, I live with three boys![: (]

SurfcalAs a die hard rabble rouser, I m inclined to agree and it is somewhat consistent with my rabble rousing profile of her on previous pages. However, it does seem slightly out of character for her to try and bail herself out considering she had already resigned herself to doom. Coupled with the fact that her surprise and elated response seemed genuine perhaps it should stand this once. Those are psychological tactics and military strategy combinations far above the capabilities of even the most seasoned of rabble rousers. If she pulled that off, then we have met the new rabble rousing MASTER. Finally, a full scale investigation is not within the budget of NNC. That said, if she threatens to kill another thread, no such approval of " Guest" bailout will be granted by the rabble rousing executive council. So you reluctantly have my vote.

If so, " Guest" will have the Can O Whoopass taken off of the top shelf and subjected to rabble rousing of epic proportions! [;)]
Or Nick will wield his power and delete the guest post.[:)]

Not thinking of me at all. In fact, I AM thinking of the li l Griffy...
Cast her to the depths of Thread-Killerhood, and let her emerge stronger for the experience. Stronger for NNC, Stronger for Griffy. Let her and her Birkenstocks sink into The Pit for a week. Then, like a butterfly from its coccoon, she shall come forth a more worth member of NNC (and garnered for herself a place on The List!). [8D]

GuestWow, I m a bit speechless at the twists and turns this has taken. Sorry about not responding sooner, but I had to actually work at work today. [:o][: (][>:]
Surf, you raise a good point about the technicality nature of the guest bail out; however, let me respond to your concerns:
[ul]
Under our American judicial system, in the absence of any rule or bylaw disallowing such action, a peson cannot be held accountable for thread killing when a guest posts and activates the thread. I do agree wth you that from this point forward (and the bylaws should be amended accordingly) it needs to be from a logged in member, but it is unfair and unAmerican to impose such penalty on someone (and from a more self-intested perspective, me!) given the current status of the law. It s not good to be unAmerican in times of war.
Surf, you raise a good point about the technicality nature of the guest bail out; however, let me respond to your concerns:
[ul]
- Don t think the thought to bail myself out of my " Princess Thread Killer" predicament didn t occur to me. But I am a woman of integrity, and I quickly dismissed the thought since it just wouldn t have been right to pull such a move of deception. I was most definitely prepared to wear my Scarlet TK with the pride and dignity of Hester Prynne, and so Sacto, you are correct that my surprise and elation were most certainly genuine. Even if no one else believes me, Guest and I both know this is true.
- From a technical standpoint, the bylaws are silent as to whether the bail out had to be from a logged in member. Surfcal s post stated:
QuoteSomeone else other than you has to enter to make it active again.

It s not good to be unAmerican in times of war.
- It appears that this discussion and the vote is moot anyway, since Ralph Hilton, (Madlyn?) a gentleperson among rabble, has mercifully and irrefutably bailed me out. [/ul]

Yes, better get going. Thanks for stopping by for a chat. Now that it s Sunday afternoon and the Snug Harbor-ers are getting back home, PERHAPS THEY WILL TOO!!! (hint, hint!)
(I ll turn my signature back on now.)
~Patricia~
You are starting to scare me now!! It s OK, we are home from the HarboUr
now, and the troops should be checking in soon. I was looking for you, but alas, you stood us up AGAIN!! [&:]
Hope you had as nice a weekend without us as we had with each other!! Surcal indicated that this particular outing was different than the others, and man was he right!...wait till you see the pictures.....dancing ON the tables, etc. etc. etc. Ask G-whiz about that!! Or you can wait till the pics get posted!! And after Ray does his ever so popular review of the weekend!!
HAD A GREAT TIME!! Missed those that couldn t make it.
Later dudes!
Happy Campin <><

CottonwooderWe re home safe also.
Had a great time with old friends and the new ones we just met.
Missed those that couldn t make it.
Snug Harbor was a great location, with our very own Party Tent.
Sacto, you need to get one of those for the June Rally!!
We will check back in here later with a full report, once we ve dried the popup, and put everything away.
Hugs to everyone

CottonwooderJust checkin in. We had a great time. This is a wonderful group. Thanks to Holly for putting this trip together. I m glad I finally got to meet everybody. The drive home was quite uneventful, which is a good thing. Popped back up to dry out after we got home. Now that we know what to expect, you can expect to see more of us. Looking forward to seeing everyone in June.

CottonwooderOur trip home was uneventful also: and a lot shorter thanks to Jeff and Larry who sandwiched us out of camp and onto the ferry and to the right road (which I missed at first, but got it at the second shot) hehehehee,
Thanks again to Naomi and Michael for letting us follow thier tail lates around several islands and cow pastures before leading us to all the fun.
Great weekend.

CottonwooderKevin s list at Snug Harbor pretty well sums it up. It was a very eventful weekend. For TOTAL NUMBERS of people, I think it may have been the biggest Rally yet. 6Quids became 10. Sammyslave s kids and grandkids, around 12 or 14 in all were there. Jeff s folks stopped by for a bit.
Georgeanne had told me to make sure I got pictures of all sleepers and visitors. I don t think there are enough memory cards in all of Best Buy to accomplish that goal.
Having failed that, I am ready to set out on my next photographic assignment, " The Dogs of NNC." I had such great success with my first three subjects this week, NOT, I even managed to get a back picture of Sophie...her eyes were closed.
Just wait until next time.
Heading for bed now. Hasta Manana,
Scott

Cottonwooder~Cottonwooder~ (aka ~Patricia~),
I did notice that you were spending a LOT of time talking to uhhh errrr ummm the " others" (yeah, that s it..the " others" ). I figured that it was a conspiracy to bump gsmx2 off the throne...I was glad to see that forestwalker kept you company, and I saw that Nick snuck in a whine or two!!
I learned a LOT about you this weekend, I just kept handing G-whiz harvey-wallbangers and askin questions. Tip for the CIA, DO NOT pick G-whiz for any top secret stuff, but as for NNC, she is Purrrrfect!!
I understand that she brought " Rocky" and let her go swimming in the river...funny thing though...Rocky never came back.....must be one of those aminal kingdom stories, and I ll bet Rocky ran for 2 solid days and was sitting happily (but tired) in the yard where she belongs!! Animal have such an uncanny sense of direction!
We missed everyone that wasn t there, but if you look at the group picture that gsmx2 posted, you can see why it was so quiet on the NNC site this past weekend.

Title: More deshnitizifications
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 24, 2003, 10:43 AM
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 24, 2003, 10:43 AM
CottonwooderHello fellow NNCers. As you know, I am pretty much a tinkerer and do a lot of deshnitizifications. As Sammyslave though says, it s not fair Ray because you own a company that employs a carpenter. Well, that s true and even though I personally don t do the modifications, I watch intently! And they are my ideas and more importantly, I funded them!
A few months ago, I did the flooring in my trailer and got a lot of positive responses about it. After a few campouts, it has proven to be a good move. It is easy to keep clean, improved the insulation of the trailer and above all, the trailer looks good.
I ve provided a link to a set of photos of my other deshnitizifications since. They are:
- a removable TV stand
- a removable bar for hanging clothes
- a custom box for the BAL leveler
- and some other toys to improve and enhance the camping experience.
Check it out and see what you think. They have all made camping such a fun and orderly experience.

Title: A look back at the Axe Me About My Weekend Rally
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 24, 2003, 10:52 AM
Post by: Surfcal on Mar 24, 2003, 10:52 AM
Red neff Barchetta(A repeat of my entry in the Axe Me About My Weekend thread)
Hello and we re happy to report that NNC held another successful rally.
First of all, what a blast! In life, you can measure a lot of things, what things weight, how far one can jump and even clock the " movement" of matter in nanoseconds. But it s those intangible things like " fun" that certainly defy any quantifying scale.
Like what is the measure you use when the weather turns out better than predicted? Well, we had beautiful weather. And just how do you keep tabs of smiles and laughter throughout the whole weekend. And the food, just how much one can stuff in the belly before the body cries for mercy.
Well, all told, this was another vintage NNC rally, complete with someone taking the wrong site, to people taking the wrong routes and getting lost, but most of all finding old friends and making new ones.
Clearly, the NNC rallies have become a regular activity, but each and every rally breeds a personality of its own. To get to Snug Harbor, it is a pretty trying experience (especialy in the dark), but once you turn off a lonely levee road, you come upon a community that is reminiscent of the town in the movie Deliverence. It is a pretty backwoods and backwater kind of a place. But, you get over that quite quickly. That place actually grows on you once you re there.
But as delightful as ever are the familiar faces and the warm smiles that greet you upon arrival. And it doesn t matter whether it s been since the last rally you ve seen them or a couple of rallies back, what s evident is the kind of warmth and friendship that eveyone exudes, like putting on a old comfortable pair of sneakers. It s a feeling never goes out of style nor ever loses its richness.
From Larry s gourmet like cooking, to CWB s stories of reenactment (where people are apparently shot one day, but they come back to fight again the next day, go figure), to Neff s enthusiasm for the pop-up, one can never really exhaust all the tall tales and the yards upon yards of yarns spun. It is like camping out on steriods.
There are stories that will be told in future rallies, like the night when Georgeanne and Rita ended up dancing on the tables in their drunken stupor. Or the time that Pete passed out, a rabid Lakers fan, we took pictures of him with a maksshift sign that said GO KINGS, a little prank for which he was none too pleased when he woke up in the midst of camera flashes. Or when we filled the big tent with enough smoke to gas the Nick-Neff-Coughers away because the pit was in the wrong place. To Madlyn s signature Margaritas that proceeded to intoxicate everyone.
And the time when Ralph assigned CWB to take care of his tri-tip while it was cooking on the grill while he stepped away for an errand, but by the time he came back, Larry, Pete and I had all but consumed every bit of it. And that p*ssed Larry off again because he didn t get any.
And Kevin and Margaret proudly presenting their Irish stew for dinner, only to find out that the potatoes weren t quite done. And they started cooking that stuff since ten tar-tee in the mar-neeng in a crockpot.
I guess you have to be there to really get what I m talking about. But for those that didn t make it, it s just a glimpse of the shenanigans and sentiments of another unforgettable weekend. It is an unparalled experience, a bunch of folks whose bonds were first initiated by the rolling rigs they have in common, but what transpired was something more that what canvas walls could contain. It is a spirit of childlike innocence, the pursuit for wholesome fun and some pretty prime rabble rousing. Axe Me About My Weekend was a terrific rally.
And so, just how do you measure fun? You just can t and it s something you ll just have to do in person. And for those who were there and our friends who couldn t make it, here s some photos that capture the memories.

I bet he also posted a complete section of the Unicorn farm.

That would imply you had marbles to begin with....
Next trick for CWB to earn a doggie treat: Try to find Georgeanne s pictures of the rally.

Me too, Jeff! I have so many pix from the Snug Harbor that all my free time will be spent scraping in a different way. Thanks for the info so us motherly-types don t get all worried. [8D][:D][;)]

Did I just hear correctly that the Halfdome Hyjinx rally has moved to the weekend of August 21st through the 24th? If so, then if anyone is interested in doing a " House of Mouse" rally, we d have to change the weekend--how about the second weekend in August, the 8th throught the 10th? That way Neffers could still make it and wouldn t have to camp back to back if they didn t want to.
Again, I ask: any interest?[:D]

So if we were to plan a " House of Mouse" rally and wanted to minimize crowds while still not having to pull the kids out of school, we could hold the rally on the last weekend (before Labor Day) in August. That would be the weekend of the 22rd through the 24th (Fri-Sun). If the neffers wanted to join us, they would be camping back-to-back from their prior Halfdome Hyjinx" weekend.
Any interest?

Hi Lori... I think the Halfdome Hyjinx is changing. Unfortunately for Scott and I, we will not be doing any camping in the months of July or August since we have ALOT of family visiting us this year during those months. It is also difficult for Scott to get time off in the busy season. Kinda funny... Summer hits and we stop camping!

SactoCampersHi everyone:
The otters will probably be on hiatis for the summer too. I am hoping to work something out for the June rally, but at this point it conflicts with a week marine camp we have promised the grandgirls. July and August we hope to off camping thru Oregon and Washington and out to Vancouver Island. We have friends there and want to visit in the summer. September will find us heading for NM in the middle of the month. Anyone going that way?
Jeff jeff jeff, don t get so busy you can t check in once in a while. Let s keep the priorties straight. We ll be watching for you.
hugs

SactoCampersafter a busted attempt on Tuesday to see Surfcal on my business trip to SF, we met up last night for some fun.
Once again, he found some of the best spots for food and drink...and I have now also been to the 21st ammendment.
Hanging around in that area made me think once again, we should plan a NCC outing to a Giants game.
Thanks for the fun Surfcal....
Off to see the mouse tomorrow!

Apparently I am not much of a RR myself according to Sacto stupid list. But my SBF friend, I have been watching and think you are great, especially since you don t feel the need to fill up boxes with yada yada yada about what a good RR you are.
I will say, it makes it much quicker to read the boards when I just slide by Sacto s posts and any of Ray s that talk about RR.

Got a new digital camera....that s been a lot of fun too.
And who the heck came up with this idea of going to a labor conference on Thursday and Friday---my days off. Oh, it was mine.
Still hanging in at #3 on the list, so must be communicating here and there.

I want to hear all about it. Have been toying with the idea of trying out eBay, for which I d need a digital camera to take pics of whatever I m selling. Just looking at the HP320 (I may be wrong on that as it was about a month ago when I looked), it retails here for $150, but was going on eBay for around $80, factory sealed. (Did you check out eBay for your camera?) Don t plan to use it for " real" photos, so wouldn t need more than 2megapixel, which is more than enough for jpgs on the Web. But then again, technology has a way of making you want more.
I m rambling... what are the pros and cons of your new camera? I guess I ll get to see it at SLO, eh? [:)]

Dear SBP,
I got a Canon A40 camera. It s a 2 Megapixel camera because I don t blow stuff up over 5 x 7 anyway.
Pros: Uses CompactFlash which I like for durability and I have 4 cards
Quiet and takes pictures rapidly
3x Optical zoom Forget any digital zoom settings. Digital zoom sucks
LIke the larger size
Has really nice software including a STICH program that stiches " panorama shots" , shoot--move camera, shoot--move camera, shoot--move camera into a flawless wider than wide angle shot.
Good battery life
Cons--view through the viewfinder is only 80% of the actual shot scene
I haven t figured out how close I can get for an " in focus" macro shot, but will figure that out.
I ll have the camera and laptop at SLO so can show you the whole process.

I wish I was kidding, but I am not. And I can t image why either. Since it is not an SLR camera, I expected a little variation, but 80%....very rediculous and unnecessary. A PIA too because the worst way to take a stable picture if to hold the camera in a position where you are looking through the LCD screen.

For comparison, I have the HP315 (actually made by Olympus I beleive).
2.1 megapixel, 2X digital zoom, compact flash. Battery life is about 600 pictures/set of 4 AA, (not bad by anyones standards). View finder has a crosshair aim feature to allow centering of shots.[:)][:)]
Cost is ~$120, has fairly decent software, (but one could bootleg a copy of TOS s fine sounding software).[;)]
Con s.....I wish it had optical zoom, but not bad for the price, I think. [:(]
And final thought, my future depends on HP products, so I think EVERYONE should own an HP.[&:]

Been installing our new DSL hook-up this past hour or so, and it finally seems to be finished now. OMG, these pages are loading instantly, no waiting and waiting.... it s like dial-up on steroids! " Hey, slow down before you kill yourself!"
BTW, looks like TOS is playing with G s lipstick on that list, doesn t it? I hadn t looked at it in a couple of days, didn t know I was at 400. Wow!
So, is this what DSL is like? I m going to have fun all weekend exploring this... [:D]

gsm x2Hey Cottonwoder, you posted so quickly with that new DSL I barely recognized you. You just zipped right by.
Hey TOS, since you are into the posting statistics, with you and G-Whiz, as a household, you hold the record for more postings than any other couple.
However, even with the two of you combined, you are still lagging behind Tracy, tlhdoc.
During the First Quarter of this year, Jan. thru March, you are posting at the rate of about 5.2 per day.
If you are to maintain that rate for the rest of the year, you will have about 1898 postings at the end of the year.
Just food for thought.

Since I m up with indigestion from the wonderful bean dip we had at Yolie s tonight, just thot I d give a pitch for Earthlink even tho I really don t know the answer to your question. I can say I was VERY unsatisfied with SBC Yahoo dial-up. See, I started out way back in the dark ages with Prodigy and Scott had Pac Bell. Pac Bell changed to SBC and the next thing you know it was SBC Prodigy. Then to make matters worse it became SBC Yahoo. Another VERY good quality of Earthlink is their customer service. Call them, Patricia, and ask them your questions because they are awesome. [:)] Hope you get your problems solved soon!

I ll echo G-Whiz s praise of Earthlink. Last week I called to cancel my subscription and move my gsmx2 account over to Georgeanne s allotment of e-mail accounts. Even when losing a customer, the technician was friendly, helpful, and accomplished the task easily.

Better consult quickly, before you move into each other s red zones!
FWIW, from my British spelling viewpoint, " Whoop..." sounds like the more refined version of " Whup..." , which sounds way more lethal! (These cans actually exist???)

The 3 year-old and I are going to go fly a kite out at the beach and check out this place. Amy said I had to choose a full hook-up place since it s still cool at night. Guess she doesn t trust me and my sure-fire dry camping power supply, lol.

I wouldn t want to be that close to my neighbour, even if it was a NNCer.
Heck, especially if it was a few certain NNCers, (and you know who you are).
Have fun anyway, and if I recall, there should be plenty of wind in Bodega Bay to fly a kite[;)]

CottonwooderKevin -
I am right there with you buddy! Dry camping is definitely preferred.
The lady tried to put me in one of the inner islands of pull-thru sites, but luckily I have gotten pretty hip at asking questions such as are there any full-timer s nearby, site width, and is it a back-in site?
I figure for one night I can handle anything. I ve got the PU itch and will even put up with a full hook-up place if that means I can get out again before the June rally.

This is called a popup hallucination. Defined in laymans terms, it means that you will accept being sandwiched between two walls of hard-sided motorhomes with their slideouts less than six inches from your canvas all the way around. Thus, total sunlight exposure is restricted to about two hours. The people there will be wondering what the HE (double hockey sticks) you re doing there and you will quickly snap yourself out of your withdrawl-induced-popup halluciantion and ask the same question. Your acknowledgement of poor judgement will be superceded only by your three-year-old s pleas not to leave. Before you make this mistake, be it known that the only antidote is dry camping.....or acting on your hallucination, which quickly humbles Red Neff and he sheepishly returns to say, " I m never doing *that* again."
Dude, just play it safe and go to Casini.

I ll probably be sorry and thankful I m only there for one night. I plan on us being out and about for most of the daytime. Guess I ll finally be able to try out the cable tv hook-up at night. This will be our 20th trip and we ve never tried it!
I thought about Casini, but if you remember, I already documented the algae growth there.
I just brought the PU home and I m stoked! I ll just try and ignore the monster RV s if possible.

CottonwooderWell, were headed out in a few minutes, but I had to mention that I drove by the fairgrounds after a meeting this morning. All of the dealer s are setting up their rig s for this w/e s RV show. It reminded me of a year ago when we bought the Utah. I could go on and on about the PU and the fun we ve had and will continue to have with it. Or the things I now fill my brain with during my free-time thinking like; solar covers, totes, stabilizers, Socket Genie, weight distribution, etc...
However, what I truly look forward to, is chatting with everyone here and looking forward to the next time various groups of us get together. We all share the basic joy of the outdoor s and family outings. I really enjoy our friendships!
Can you tell that a motivational speaker spoke to us this morning and well, there you go, lol.
The 3 year-old is walking around the house with his kite and I m looking forward to my self-imposed test of seeing how fast and efficiently I can set-up and set-down the PU with the bare minimums (don t need the outside stove, awning, etc...).
Should be fun before work gets incredibly busy starting Friday. I ll check in when I can and see everyone in June!

My vote is that Holly is a virgo , too. cough cough

CottonwooderMadlyn - Good to see you! Love the name!
Well, what a fun day and night we had! Believe it or not, there was absolutely no wind out there, lol. Went for a long walk that my 3 year-old never got tired on because we kept discovering things. Hung out with some retired folk s outside of their 5th-wheel last night and had marshmallows (what a weird word to spell) and checked out the stars with their telescope. Beautiful night! Man, I love sleeping in the PU, although not having the other 1/2 of the family unit there takes some of the fun away. The cable connection worked, but it was weird having actual tv station s inside the PU. There s something different about it when you just have a movie to be able to watch.
Popping-up and down was fun since I kind of timed myself. I can t say enough about the drill and Socket Genie. I even used the drill on the 5th-wheel s stabilizer s, lol. Too bad they were staying another day! J/k! Once I was un-hitched, I was fully popped-up in 20 minutes (thanks to 6Quigs leaving the beds made trick). Took another 15 minutes to get the power, sewer, H2O, and cable set-up. When I started this morning to pop-down, it took about 40 minutes and we were driving away. No big deal both times.
Off to work now. Funny how when I got home, all of a sudden there s pressing matters at work.
Looking forward to the RV show this w/e. Glad I now know that a drill is much less expensive than upgrading to a Monterey, ha.

Red neff BarchettaSounds like you had a good time Jeff,
Pity about no wind, wish it had been like that last June, Ha!
Curious about the Drill, and the charger, and how you store it,
(you re anal also, so you will understand my curiosity).
When you arrive home, you will now need to re-charge the battery.
That will mean taking the plastic case, out of the popup(along with the handle),
and pluging it in to charge it overnight.
Then in the morning, unpluging the charger, returning everything to the case,
and returning the case to the popup.
I would hate for you to forget to return the case to the popup,
and not discover it till you reached the campground,
and now you are not only without your drill,
but also without your handle[:o]
I ve been losing sleep worying that this might happen to you sometime[;)]

CottonwooderKevin - Don t forget the Socket Genie. I solved this possible problem by purchasing 3 more drills, hand cranks, & Socket Genie s. A spare set for the TV, a spare set hidden in the PU, and a spare set at the house. Now I just have to remember to chare all the batteries occasionally.
Madlyn - Is part of the joke to your name that Sacramento is spelled wrong or are you really a Laker s fan disrespecting your wonderful cow pasture town? If you meant it to be spelled wrong, then I of course got the joke immediately. If you like your cow pasture town, then talk to Holly s Pete about the Laker smack regarding Sack-of-potatoes, I mean your hot as &^%! city, er, I mean lovely Sacramento. Btw, my parents and 2 sister s live there also. We encourage them to visit us as much as possible, hehe. Of course, if the A s move to Sacramento, then I will be contributing to your local economy like you wouldn t believe. Just hope they build an indoor stadium with real grass like in Phoenix.

Hiya Holly! You may have noticed me mentioning a few zodiac signs in my postings. I was really into it years ago, enough to remember a few characteristics associated with each sign. Virgos are known to pay the attention to the most minute detail. Good for jobs like accounting, statistics like you mentioned, etc.
I m a Gemini -- air sign, and airhead. Combine that with being a dragon (on the Chinese zodiac), and no wonder Sacto calls me a tasmanian devil, LOL!

I type slow and m-i-s-s-p-e-l-l a lot of words. It s not a joke, I m just spelling challenged. Rather odd, since I spent 12 years at parochial schools. I guess I m kind of an anomaly (<--looked spelling up in dictionary)
I am a very big fan of the Kings. Can t stand the Lakers, especially Shaq. I think Sacratomato is a lovely town to raise your family amongst the cows and other residents.
I am originally from Denver, so my favorite all-time team is the Broncos. I don t suppose you are a Raider fan, are you?. If you are, must have been nice for you to see them finally beat the Broncos after all this time. Sorry to say, I am officially a Raider-hater.
Glad you had a nice time at Blowdega - too bad the wind conditions weren t ideal for kite flying.

I chose a rainbow skin, which attaches itself to Outlook Express and Explorer too. In fact, during last night s chat (the only time I use MSIE) the top bars were draped with the rainbow. Very nice. Camping-related buttons too, although I forget how they got there. Have fun! [:)]

CottonwooderI don t need no stinkin patterns; I m a Libra and year of the Rabbit. And asmuchas I don t believe in astrology, it s odd how many of the characteristics seem to fit me. So the question becomes: is the sign description accurate, or is it so general that we are able to find some bit of ourselves in the description?[;)]
Looks like the boards were quiet today. You all must have talked yourselves out last night![:o] We re off to Malibu tomorrow morning to join the G s, OC Camper and a couple of other PUT families who haven t quite discovered NNC yet. Don t worry; we ll hold an intervention, and they ll be one of us in no time! }:>

CottonwooderGeez, if not for Lori s post, I d be thinking PUT site was down or something. What are the odds of everyone becoming silent on the same day.
I think it s a bit of both re. accuracy/vagueness of descriptions. But when it comes to physical attributes of Taureans being stocky with a teddy bear kind of look, and Geminis being thin and looking/acting younger than they are, that s been pretty spot on from what I ve seen.
Well, I have more work to transcribe, so will try to put in another hour s worth before calling it a day. Later gator! [:)]

How are they about taking dogs?
We are heading up there for Mother s Day weekend and I just wanted to get a better idea of the place.
PS-my DH should fit right in-he s also a Virgo. As for me, Aquarius all the way!

Hi R&R: I didn t go to Olema with the pu group this Feb, but we went there for our maiden voyage of our popup last summer. It was a great ride in, unusual countryside, easy access to sites, and no hassle for our dog. It is pretty compact, but not parking lot type. The Campground has a store and some other amenities.
We had great weather, but I guess that is the luck of the draw. The weather gods might be nice since it is mother s Day.
hope that is helpful.

Boy, I really felt old today when I realized that a 50-year-old is no longer old enough to be my parent. (Unless we re talking late 50s.) Remember when we used to think that 50 was ancient? Sheesh!

Dragons are the oldest/only non-real critter in the Chinese zodiac. The place in Hong Kong I m from is called " Kowloon," English pronunciation of the Chinese " gow-loong," literally meaning " nine dragons" .
Our almost-3yo daughter is also a dragon. Two Gemini dragons in the same household... yikes! [&:]

We were in Olema with NNC.
The campsites we were at were cul-de-sac style, which has the advantage of giving angles that give more space and the impression of even more space. It was grassy with a good amount of shade. We even got to hand our hammock.
Restrooms were clean and the showers were free and hot.
There were a number of permenants, but they are congregated to the front with the weekenders on the cul-de-sacs. The NNCers were the noisy group with their laughing, but they got quiet at 10:00.
Camp staff was friendly enough. No real presence after closing. They took dogs; don t know the details.

It s nice to be back.
Is it possible that a certain depression covers those who can t camp every time we have a Rally. Last time C Wooder wound up talking to herself for lack of conversation. This time Otter was chatting more than she otter.
Or perhaps the individuals just throw themselves into their work so they can claim, " Way to busy." Either way it s kind of sad. But I do have a cure. Come attend the rallies. [:)]

But unless you come to a screeching halt, I promise not to take your fun away, even if that means gathering several replies into one long post, or re-discovering my sewing machine, which I m doing this weekend before needing to clear out C wood for SLO.

Don t take any offense, but instead take it as a compliment. You guys set the standard this past weekend and every other time it s down. I just haven t been able to post. And it s nice that others are joining in.
The weather has been so nice, (especially for the city) I ve been down at the Marina taking care of the boat. And the Marina is just a couple of miles from the Golden Gate, so I ve been taking bike rides all along the bay at the country s newest National Park, The Presidio, formally know as the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
I m getting the boat ready for a trip to Angel Island to do some overnight camping trips. I ve also been hanging out with my sister and brother. And all that, trying to keep my head in work. So Cottonwooder & Otter, it s good to see you folks keeping the lights on for us.
Bottom line is, I m an outdoors freak, on top of being a freak.

Hey neighbors, get the current SBC phone directory for the Ventura area. Turn to page 39. Top right index/page listing next to the page number. It was on Jay Leno s show last night, ROFL! (Ties in with the recent thread here re. attorneys.)
For those of us who don t have access to a Ventura directory, what does it say?

I m a self-taught dinker. Never took a computer (or scrapbook) class in my life.
So, I come back from dinner to see if TOS has posted his magic formula, and he hasn t. He s really going to be mean to me. (G, is he always like this?) OK, give me a couple of hours to tend to the kids, then lemme roll up my sleeves and see where my dinking leads me.
And if it leads me nowhere, I ll call you in the middle of the night to ask. [8D]

I figured out how TOS posts the Top 20 list.
First he calls the list up on his computer screen,
Then he highlights with G s lipstick all the NNC ers.
Then he puts his computer monitor,
face down on the scanner,
and scans the image,
which he then posts here[;)]

Hi Dianne,
I tried to order a mat this afternoon and the store couldn t process my order. I e-mailed Steve at webmaster@popuptimes.com and he responded immediately. They looked into the problem and have fixed it, so I m about to try again. The store does take Visa and MC; it s a drop down menu that you clikc on and select which card you want to use. That s too bad that it took them longer to get back to you. I ve always found Steve and Dave to be very quick in responding to any e-mails I ve sent. Maybe they were just swamped the week you e-mailed them.[:)]

3) Is there a listing of what each icon means?
Well, there s the official PUT definition. But the following is the Nick-Neff-Cough interpretation as revealed by GSM X2:
[:)] = Two weeks until the next NNC camping outing
[8D] = Mermossas in the morning, beer sitting around in the afternoon, wine with dinner, Bailey s at night.

So, y see all, being left alone on these boards for an entire weekend truly does make you start talking to yourself. There there, now, Jacqui, come, sit down, have some shrimp and corn bread and chicken kabobs and tri tip and humongous pancakes and whipped cream and potstickers and, and, and...
BTW, Mike (my dh) asked if you guys were going to join us. To show you what an honor that is, " Jacqui and Randy" are the only names he remembers, LOL! Sorry you couldn t make it, but you guys were far from forgotten. [:)]

Of course, we would all have had to roll out of the campground in wheelbarrows had they added their incredible food to the already humongous meals.

gsm x2Hey TOS,
I was at Costco tonight picking up camping pics at their 1-hour service (am scanning them now to hoist onto the Web), and I noticed that for 19c they will print digital pics you bring in on a CD. The man said .jpg format is fine.
Has me wondering if their 19c per 4x6 costs less than using your own ink and paper at home. Would probably be better quality too, don t you think? I m wondering if I d be able to download a few of your Webshots pics (or you can e-mail them directly to me), and have them printed at Costco. Have you tried that before?

QuoteGood question. I have no idea. Still just see a little red " x" where the image is broken.
I see it too. Do you see the other little images??? If not, your options might be set to not view images.....or it could be an AOL thing?

I am skeptical of this answer because I think CWB is seeing the pictures I loaded in the April Rally thread, but....
....one option is to look in MY PROFILE here at PUT and check the SPEED SETTINGS to make sure that there isn t a CHECK in the " Don t Show Image in Posts" box.

GuestBy The Way (letting cat out of bag here) I have it on good authority that robucko has acquired a NTH puter, and should be online shortly. The veteren NNC members will remember Jerry and Nancy. His back surgery recuperation is coming along slowly but surely. His new email will be robucko@pacific.net , so how about sending him a good ol NNC Welcome and letting him know we re waiting for him at PUT. I know it be a great surprise to log on for the first time and see a bunch of messages already waiting for him. I mean, what better way to rabble rouse a guy than blindsiding him before he s had a chance to prepare for it?[;)]

And now I need to get this piece of work done, so will do more dinking later. Strange how the GSMs could see it. Must be a Ventura thing. Also, last night when it disappered off the board, it was still visible under Edit >> Preview. Now it s not there even in edit mode. BTW, I don t even see a red " x" . I see nothing now. Technology!

What the bleep are " noseeum s" ?! Is it some joke that I don t get? Do you sprinkle them on your aableskivie s? And who named those things anyway? Not very scientific. Sounds like some 1850 s derogatory description of native American s. Seriously, what is a " noseeum" ? I must know. Are they easier to swallow than Beige Davis decision making?

Whoa, why so soon? Others may still have pictures/comments to post. Had I not got my film developed at Costco 1-hour that night, I d only be picking the pictures up this evening. Can it be unlocked for a few more days?
Neff, from what I gather reading threads last summer, noseeum is a type of material that allows ventilation, yet you can t see through it. Hence, it allows air circulation and privacy at the same time. Just my guess, though.

Someone even posted where you can buy the material, and I thought I saw a picture where it s a dark/black color. Heck, what do I know. I still need to figure the picture thing out.

Red neff BarchettaJeff, noseeums are the larval stage of snipes, found in brackish estuaries along the mouth of the Columbia River. According to legend, one of the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition stepped on one, and it bit his big toe. When he yelled in pain, his companions asked what the matter was. He could not locate the offending creature, and attempted to enunciate his concerns to the remainder of the party. Unfortunately, his extremely thick accent affected his elucidation, and his companions only heard " A Noseeum!"

Ab DiverWell to reopen the discusion on digital cameras, I went out and purchased a new one last night.[:D] I was tired of my old Sony Macivia. It takes great pictures but its a little bulky. I got a Nikon Coolpix 2100. It is a 2.0 MP and has a 4X optical zoom and 3X digital zoom. At first I purchased a Sony 3.1 MP with a 3X digital zoom but when I got it home realized the digital zoom sucks so I took it back, paid a few dollars more and got the Nikon. I m happy with it so far with all the features it has. One good point is Nikon still uses glass optics instead of plastic. It does have the same deal as Scotts with the viewfinder only 80% of the actual picture. Must be a standard deal.
Oh well, if any one wants a great deal on my Sony Macivia send me an email.

The Nikon I got was $249. I also was looking for one around $200, but with the features this has I think the extra fifty bucks was well worth it. If you do an internet search for Nikon Coolpix 2100 there are several mail order outlets that sell it for $200. I decided to get it at Circuit City just becuase they are easy to deal with and if anything goes wrong they have their own service department that does warrenty work.
I just had something funny at work. I was on the phone with a creditor and she was phonetically spelling my clients last name when she said " i" as in elephant.[>:]

Ab DiverMike & Scott -
Can t wait to check out your new camera s! We ll be getting one soon and will be seeking Scott/TMM s advice (again).
mrflinder s -
Good to see you checking in! Any chance you can make the June rally? You can join the ever growing PU convoy from your neck of CA. I m working on Griffsmom, but she s a tough nut to crack.
I see we have some things in common;
Beer, DS , beer, camping even if it means leaving DW at home (ha), beer, Tae Kwon Do (my DS is a " Recommended Black Belt" through " ATA" ), and finally, how could we ever forget the beer.

how d the bumper thing happen?
I know that I ve been away from the boards for a little while, but YIKES!!!
As far as digital cameras go,
I would always recomend digital cameras that are made by camera companies(Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Minolta, Pentax, Fuji). Digital Zoom is the same thing as cropping your photograph(you can do it much easier in the computer).
Nick- good choice. It s a real good seller that is a real good camera.
P.S. the reason that there is a difference from the optical viewfinder to what you see on the screen is so that you don t accidently cut someone s head off.
O.K. i ll stop ranting about cameras- I shouldn t bring my work home with me.

TMM, please don t stop. I m hanging on every word you guys are posting. Although I stick with point-and-shoots so as not to fiddle with manual settings, I love cameras in general and how they capture moments in time/record the past. First thing I did when seeing TOS at SLO was look over his new camera.

Out of curiosity, I did a search on that on eBay. Don t quite understand how a few of them are currently being bid at $1 and $.01 (yes, one cent), but then there s a sudden jump to $187.
There s an HP320 " factory sealed" one going for $81, compared to $150 in stores.
What s the difference between optical and digital zoom?

From what I learned while shopping is that the optical uses the lenses for zooming and you don t loose any picture quality. Conversly the digital zoom like TMM mentioned is just croping the picture and you loose picture quality. The HP320 is digital zoom by the way.

Ab DiverTidbit of useful information for all NNC ers;
Thanks to Camping Coxes on another thread who reminded me that I needed to update a camping guide that I have.
I just picked up the latest edition (published just last month) of " California Camping" by Tom Stienstra. If you don t have this book I highly recommend that you do. My Dad bought me the first edition in 87 and I have been updating it every 5 - 6 years. A new edition comes out every 1 1/2 years or so. Anyway, it has pretty darn accurate info. and review s on almost every single campground and a very large number of RV parks in CA. This is THE CA camper s guide, or if you are religious, then THE CA camper s bible.
It is well laid out and very easy to find what you are looking for.
I should mention though, that he definitely prefer s campground s. He only gives Far Horizon s 49 er Village a 4 rating and calls it the " grandaddy of RV parks" , lol. Of course for our rallies, that is exactly what we want and my 5-th wheeling neighbor is jealous of us all for staying there. Btw, I didn t realize that there are 2 pools and a spa! I don t think anyone will have much trouble relaxing.
Long and short of it;
You should pick up this book if you don t already have it!
Tidbit for CWB;
I also picked up a civil war era book called " April 1865" by Jay Winik that looks pretty good. I ll let you know once I m finished. The bookstore lady who obviously despises television said, " I heard that they ruined it by making a tv show based on it on the History channel" , lol. Don t know if it s true or not, but you might check your tv listings.

Optical zoom is what cameras have been using for years in zoom lenses.
Digital zoom sucks,

There, that should do it.
Oh, what the heck. Why be a geek if you can t act like a geek.
Here is a picture taken with OPTICAL ZOOM x3 (with some compression to cut out band width.)
[image]http://www.avenuecable.com/~gsmx2/Img_0848.jpg[/image]
Here is the same picture with the same compression, but simulated what occurs with x3 DIGITAL ZOOM.
[image]http://www.avenuecable.com/~gsmx2/Img_0847.jpg[/image]
Hope that helps and if these were printed the degradation would be even more visible. (Do you get the feeling that I really think that the DIGITAL ZOOM numbers are a rip off? If you don t get that feeling, my message isn t very clear.)
IGNORE DIGITAL ZOOM NUMBERS and AVOID any camera that ONLY has digital zoom.

I actually spend most of my PU mod.-nerd computer time over at [link=http://www.coastexplorer.com/popupexplorer/forum/]PUX[/link] and at [link=http://irv2.infopop.cc/6/ubb.x?a=cfrm&s=8076099152&f=5746022452]irv2[/link]. There s one more called [link=http://www.popupportal.com/fhome.asp]PUP[/link], but traffic there is even slower than here so I haven t bothered to register there.
If it weren t for all of you fun and silly people here in the NNC area I probably wouldn t be here. Especially since we ve got our NNC site and our NNC-Yahoo site.
I admit it, I like my PU sites to have technical PU stuff and not have the " Campfire" section be the busiest place on the site. Reading posts from different parts of the country bickering about France or the Dixie Chicks on a PU site just doesn t do it for me.
I sure enjoy our group though and all the " business" we give each other.
Btw, PUT has posted the " rival" sites in the General forum, so no worries.

Seems they like to hide in your sock and bite you all night. Actually makes me happy we " just" have mosquitoe s here. Murphy s Law says that I will start to see and hear that name (noseeum s) quite frequently now.

Ahhhh-Haaaa!!! *Now* do you believe me???? How do you think that guy got his big toe bit?
Note: Noseeums also have a dormant stage were their spores can " hibernate" for months on end without harm. Over 150 years ago, some of these spores were inadvertantly part of a wagon s cargo on a return trip to St. Louis from the West Coast. From there is was a simple journey down the Misssissippi River to the Southern States, were they spread quickly across the whole South and Eastern Seaboard. The climactic conditions were perfect, and the noseeum thrived. This is why you see so MANY posts about noseeums from campers back east.
Side note: The noseeum makes a great snack when deep fried. I ve heard the best way to take them is " with a grain of salt" .
(wondering if Jeff has caught on to my little dissertation yet. Shhh.... nobody tell him. [;)] )

" Take It or Leave It" is an " in the car" travel game, where one tells a true or untrue story and people vote if you believe it (Take It) or disbelieve it (Leave It).
Like there was this time that Beth s family, Georgeanne, and I walked into Target. I needed to pick up some overnight photos I had taken, so went to the film counter while everyone else went into the store. This pushy black woman came up just as the clerk was handing me my pictures. She pushed in front of me then said, " Listen honey, if you let me get my pictures RIGHT NOW and you ll admire my little neice s picture, I ll pay for yours."
Actually, I was ready to let her go first anyway, but when she pulled out this wad of money, I figured, " What the heck?" I let her get her pictures; I admired her neice (which was a terrible photograph because it was from a slide without an internegative); I let her pay for my two rolls of photographs."

I let her get her pictures; I admired her neice (which was a terrible photograph because it was from a slide without an internegative); I let her pay for my two rolls of photographs."

I guess the photo. developing places will slowly start going out of business as more and more people move to digital, huh? Good thing TMM sells them and not develops photo s.. He s got 2 houses to pay for!

CottonwooderAB has probably already told you Jeff, but just in caae noseeums are led at this time of year by that big bunny; who of course is also a noseeum . I think the eggs that he leaves behind, when left uneaten actually hatch into millions of the little buggers. I m mean think about it; rabbits laying eggs. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Take it. That s where the Cadbury eggs come from. Yeesh, everybody knows that.
And as for you Scott, I leave that one, because although you re a easy-going and nice enough guy to let someone rudely push ahead of you, I don t see a motive for why she was unwilling to wait the few more seconds it would have taken her to get her pictures and pay for your 2 rolls, which would have put her back close to $25 (assuming 24 exposure.) Also, you don t state a reason why you needed to look at the niece, like if she had a bet with her brother that she could get some guy at Target to gawk over the pictures of her niece. The digital camera is a red herring since, IIRC, you only recently got it.
So? How d I do?

CottonwooderGeorgeanne corrects me on the name of the game. It s " Believe It or Leave It." Concepts the same.
Scoring for " Believe It or Leave It" is two points for every person that gets the answer right. For every person who guesses wrong, the story teller gets one point.
So the score after one round is:
Scott 3 points---other people NONE.
It was the absolute truth just like I said. I don t know why she was willing to pay out about $15.00 to get in front of me and have me look at the picture. But she did.
BTW--don t feel bad. I had to take Beth to the girl at the picture counter to have her validate my story before she would believe it.
BTW--remember I was having trouble with my digital camera, that s why I had to replace it. So for this trip to Michigan, I shot film.
NEXT PLAYER???

Ok, this on time at band camp, no seriously though it was at camp El Chorro to be exact. I had my brother tow my trailer to the campground as most of you know. Michele and I had deiced to stay an extra day to enjoy the rain. Dave and the rest of my family left Sunday morning. Michele and I went into SLO to walk around downtown and on the way back a thought occurred to me. I had noticed my tongue lock was locked on the trailer but I did not recall seeing my keys all weekend. So I called my brother Dave to ask where my keys were and he replied that they were in his car. So I had to find a hardware store, purchase a bolt cutter in order to remove the lock. Now Dave owes me a new lock.

Hey folks, just checking in. My busy period at work started Monday after our El Chorro camp. Then midweek, I got all fired up about biking once again that I purchased a new bike and have engorged myself into riding and into full exhaustion. I also went camping this weekend sans the pop-up again at Costanoa.
It was a beautiful weather weekend and found muddy single-track trails to go on. This combines my two favorite outdoor activity, camping and biking. Went biking all around the coastal area and up into the hills & redwoods of Butano State Park.
Nick, since you were into mountain biking once, I got me a Specialized Enduro Pro. What a machine. so well made that at times, I don t know where machinery and human interface begin and end, except, my ass is sore. In that area, I know exactly where it begins and ends. GSM, you know exactly what I mean.
Then I went to Santa Cruz over the weekend along West Cliff Drive, a friend invited me to go surfing, but I didn t have my gear. So I had to sit it out and just bike down the path along with the amateurs. Otter, you have a gorgeous place. It s a great place to just pop-up the camper in the driveway. Saw your Viking out in the back area and the proper political sign out front. I knew it had to be your place.
I also went to Ano Nuevo to see Lon again, but he wasn t there. That makes it twice now that I ve missed him. I ll check in from time to time, but I ve entered into a real busy period and it ll take me through the month.
Good to see everyone carrying on the shenanigans and Rabble Rousing.

Mrs. Sactocampers and I used to live about 3/4 mile from West Cliff Drive on Escalona. Just north of Mission at the intersection of Swift. We lived there for about a year and loved it. We used to ride along the biking path all the time and then we would go down to the boardwalk, ride the Big Dipper and then ride back home. We really did enjoy living so close to the ocean. We miss it. I guess that s why we like camping at the beach so much.
I just have a basic Gary Fisher Tassjara. No shocks, nothing fancy, just a basic entry-level mountian bike. I hook my canine cruiser (it s a bar that attaches to my rear hub and has a short leash) to the bike and leash up Sactodoggie and I let him pull me around for a few miles. He loves it. We also bought a new bike trailer so we can run errands and ride around town with Sactotoddler. It s a lot of fun. But as you allude, it takes a while for your butt to adjust to the trauma of bicycling. Even with my my extra wide and cushy " tailbones" seat. [&:][8D]

First I have to say that this brings back so many memories for me riding along in the car with my kids. Beth didn t bring this game into light until she was a Freshman in high school after a trip to Colorado with the church youth group. She rode shotgun the entire way keeping the drivers awake with the games she would make up. Wait until we introduce 21 Jump Street! I m cracking up thinking of it. [:D][:D][:D]
Anyway... Mike, I m going to LEAVE IT since Scott and I stopped to check with Dave on our way out if he was leaving you stranded since he still had the ball hitch on his car. He said you were all set. I m thinking that would have jogged his memory about a set of keys. [:)][;)] Of course, it could be one of those " male things" . [;)]

You can " pop-up" in our drive way anytime. It is a great spot for it, although Lon worries about the salt. spray. I told him if 6Quigs could do a week on The beach at Sea Cliff it couldn t be much of a problem.
So skip that Ritzy Cos.... place and come to West Cliff next time.
That invitations is to all NNCer s.
G-Whiz is back and LEAVING Mike s story. I am awful at these things, but I tend to go along with her. Lon calls my agreeing the kiss of death. It is too recent a happening to be a " story" yet. Might have happened, but not at El Charro.

Hmmm, I am going to LEAVE IT. Partially for the reason Georgeanne gave. In fact, we took an extra lap around the campground just because " I had this nagging thought." So I think that might have sparked Dave to remember. Then also, any tongue lock worth its weight will be protected from simple bolt cutters. Hope I am right.

This is based on an experience we had going up to Olema. We were following a pop-up across a toll bridge and I thought, " What a perfect opportunity for someone to build their karma by paying the toll of the vehicle behind him?"
But no...we had to pay. Which begs the question, " did the person pay and the toll collector just pocketed the money, then collected from me?" Could be. What do you say SammySlave???

Leave it. If you were in Menlo Park, there s no reason to take a toll bridge from Santa Cruz. You would just hop on highway 85.
I just had a visual: southern California plus lawyers = trunk slamming shut and intro to the LA Law theme song.

Hey! I just got home from daughters...babysitting... and the car in front of me paid my toll on the bridge. [:D]

CottonwooderIt was true, exactly how I said it. I called Dave and he realized he had my keys when he was in King City. Too far to turn around to bring me the keys. And yes the smallest bolt cutters were able to break the lock.
4 points for Mike.
I ll side with Sacto on Otters story.

CottonwooderTake it or leave it:
When I was in college pledging a fraternity, I was a designated driver for a sorority s formal dance. I had been driving people back and forth all night (and driving my car hard, too) and was making my last pick up. I decided to leave the engine running because my car was a turbo and I knew I wouldn t be gone very long and it s not great to stop and start turbos quickly. So as I leave the car to go look inside the building, two drunk guys are sitting on the grass without their dates. I ask them if they need a ride. They said " No" with a glazed look on their face. So I look inside and ask some of the remaining girls if they need a ride home. They said " Yes, thanks, we thought no one was coming back." So we walk back out to the parking lot to find my car missing. So were the two drunk guys. I loook around and see my car being back up into a bush and somebody is peeling out trying to get out of the parking lot with the lights off. I chase after them to stop, but they find their way out and drive the five miles back into town. I have to call the cops and file a stolen vehicle report and get a ride back to my apartment in the back of a cop car.

Wow Mike! That is a scary thot, huh! Now I ll really be nervous when we leave the PU out on the street overnight.
I m going to BELIEVE IT. I m basing my answer on the fact that perhaps Lon was ahead of you because you had both been at your daughters coming from different places. Of course, I know nothing about the area up there and have NO idea whether you need to cross a bridge going here or there as some of the natives do. I should probably side with them, but am venturing out on my own.

THAT is a good story. The only thing I know about fraternaties is what I learned from Animal House. So, that makes me think that this story could be true, but maybe the character roles are reversed. Like, maybe you were the one sitting on the grass without your date with the glazed look in your eye. Then when you saw the designated driver pull up in the Turbo and leave it running, you jumped in and took it for a ride. Therefore, the police report would have been filed against you, not by you. Hmmmm... then again, we are talking about Sacto here. Logical, statistical Sacto. But, as a pledge, could it have been a double-dog dare to steal the car?
Ok, my answer is LEAVE IT!

And only Sacto would know that a turbo engine does not like to be stoped and started again, so I vote Take it.
As for Otter, where does her daughter live, East bay? Then otter would be crossing over the Dumbarton Bridge, and the toll is from East to West, so again I vote a take it.

Here s another one. I pulled into an Arco station many years ago. They have the seperate machines to run your ATM through. So I m walking up to the machine to pay for my gas when another guy steps in front of me asks what pump I m on. I tell him and he puts his card in the ATM machine and tells me to fill up my tank. I did thanked him. He kinda shruged it off, filled his tank and left.

It s a happy-PU-thought day today as I filled up the tires and am currently charging the batteries for their 6-week charge. We hope to get out soon for a quick trip.
What an amazingly fast-paced and quick-to-move-on society we live in, if my business is any indication! Our call volume is up above average and we are swamped with work. Now if I could only find some decent applicants who wouldn t scare customer s from their own homes, ha. My current employee s are all terrific, but I can t find any new hire s to save my life! There are some scary character s out there I ll tell you. I don t even like them coming to my shop, lol.

griffsmomExcellent choice Georgeanne! Especially since you will also benefit from them. I won t beat a dead horse, but (haha) they really are worth their weight in gold. Of course with Amy s " prove it" scientific nature, we had to do a test with one bunk covered and the other bunk exposed. Late last July near Truckee with the outside temperature at 97 degree s, there was AT LEAST a 20 degree difference in the bunks. One shepherd s pole was mildly warm and the other was almost too hot to touch. Side benefit is that they keep bird and tree stuff off the canvas too!
Btw, did you wear " Diva Dare" for him today? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Tell Scott he s hired! Don t I still owe you guys a full tank of tax-deductible gas anyway, ha? Kind of sad how we work on our birthday s isn t it? Unless they fall on a w/e, I prefer to let mine slip on past.

Birthdays and I have seen a parting of the ways. Mine is just before Christmas and more of a hassel than a celebration these days.
As the reigning Dragon (the position acquired by longevity, not by any other achievement) I have decided to celebrate every 12 years.
Thad d make it 12/22/2012 before anyone need send cards[:)]
save your pennies.
We got an outdoor mat, level indicators, and something else I m blanking on this month. I m thinking of the solar covers too. They help in the rain too.

Bring those birthdays on.

Thank you Jeanne,
OK, I just have to share something that happened today because I know that my friends in this room will care.
So it s my birthday, and I am working, and after work, I have to go back to work for a 7:00 p.m. Board Meeting in which I know that there are going to be some Harbor Patrol issues discussed. Get the feeling this may not be the best of days.
So about an hour before I get off work, my boss asks, " Scott you got a second?" as he heads for his office. I follow him in and he hands me a letter. It s dated April 9th, but this is the first time I have seen it. He says, " We are going to make a special presentation at the Board Meeting, so I wanted you to see this beforehand."
It is addressed to me from the Department of Boating and Waterways. It says, " Congratulations Scott. The Department of Boating and Waterways has selected you as the " Boating Safety Officer of the Year." You are invited to attend the awards ceremony in conjunction with the Boating and Waterways Commission Meeting in Sacramento on May 29, 2003.
OK---this is kind of a big deal. There are about 165 agencies in California that provide boating safety and enforcement. The Department of Boating and Waterways doesn t really oversee them, but they do provide money, training, and other services to these agencies. And they have picked me as the " Boating Safety Officer of the Year" for the entire state. Kind of made my day. [:D]
Oh--before I forget.
BELIEVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

and the person on the street starts to accelerate,
and then as the kids start to act up,
as you drive along looking for the address,
the person decides to tailgate you...[:@]

I hate it when I turn on my turn signal to indicate that I am going to change lanes on the freeway, and the person in that lane accelerates to get in front of me.
But tailgaters have driven me to both passive/agressive and agressive behavior, so those must be the people that irritate me most.

I m figuring the automotive industry will stop putting in turn signals as thier next cost-saving measure.
People either don t use (becuase thier hands are busy with phones, make-up, address books, kids, coffee, etc.)
or the ignore mine; Like that fool behind Scott.
Also I hate those 92 lb ditzes driving the big SUV s. But that is probably a body image issue. hahahahaha

CottonwooderPatricia,
Tone is hard to translate in these message boards. Kevin has a dry sense of humor sometimes which can be misinterpreted occasionally.
My personal peeve are the drivers who leave their signal on. It s not really a peeve, I just feel sorry for them because everybody is looking at their signal wondering why he hasn t turned off and the driver is usually oblivious to it. It s like public humiliation without the driver s knowledge. [8D]

CottonwooderI m with Patricia 100% on this one. Roadasium Idiotosis is on the rise in this country, and it seems to be an airborne contagion. As one who spends every working day on the road, I ve seen more than my share of idiots behind the wheel. Examples? You want examples? Ok, there s the standard Daddy Warbucks-- " my car is more expensive than your car so I don t have to pull over" crowd, we get them up from the Bay Area, usually with a license plate holder from a Marin County dealer. Then, there s the Driverus Obliviosus: the clown who goes 30 mph in a 55 zone-- not because he s looking at the scenery, but because he s too ignorant to realize he s holding ten cars behind him (he s never been told what his rear view mirror is for).
On the other hand, there s Terrance Tourguide, who is purposely going slow, so he can look out the window at the scenery. He points out things of interest to his passengers, and could care less if he s slowing anybody else down. Then there s WhiteKnuckle Willie, the RV guy in his brand new 40 motorhome, who s so scared of it he s afraid to drive it (you can see his white knuckles gripping the wheels in a death grip when you finally do get around him). He runs people off the road cuz he takes his lane right out of the middle, afraid he ll hit his mirrors on something. The other RV guy, Manfred Mirrorless, has a skinny little TV pulling an extra-wide trailer, and no towing mirrors so he doesn t even know anybody is behind him (he gets a dirty look for being stupid as well as illegal). Then there s Neckless Nick, the guy who pulls out into the highway without checking if traffic is coming cuz his head won t turn.
Betty Bambiwatcher, the lady who swerves across the center line and runs you off the road cuz she s looking at the cute little deer *way over there*, and her cousin Bradford Braindead who causes a three-car accident because he was trying to avoid the squirrel that ran in front of him. There s Parkabout Pete, another Darwin Award contestant who stops his car in the road just past the crest of a hill so he can take a picture of the roadside daisies. And my personal favorite: Cinematic Sammy, the guy who s driving on the wrong side of the road going into a blind corner so his wife can sit on the other windowsill and video the ocean over the car s roof!
The scary thing is, the above list of stereotypes is not tongue-in-cheek. I have seen numerous examples of each and every one of them (except Cinematic Sammy, he s a single encounter). Most of the time they are just a roadway irritant, but many times they are a true road danger. Most of the accidents on our coastal county roads are caused by these individuals. So rant on, Patricia! Together we ll lobby for safer roads for our families.[;)]

Although I pull off the road at every opportunity to let those people who have the need to be somewhere quickly pull around me so that I can continue to drive leisurely.
When we left Olema, we took Highway 1 to San Francisco. It was a long and winding road. As this MIller told his tale, it was interesting to see Georgeanne, at first just ghostly, turn a whiter shade of pale as I pulled off the side of the road.

Their four year old son died last night. He and his twin brother were two in a million who had an extreme reaction to their immunization shots. They have been wrought with seizures since they were a few months old, and it finally took its toll on the little guy.

You lost me, Sacto. What mud on your face? You didn t misinterpret anything.
Now, about those Chicks -- granted, this could be taken both ways -- but did anyone else s jaw hit the ground when, upon being asked what she d like to say to President Bush now, Natalie Maines said " One hour wouldn t be enough." ??? In context of their non-apology and continuing to stand behind their hullaballoo, I got the impression that one hour wouldn t be enough to rake him over the coals!
Prior to last night s interview, I thought all of this banning nonsense was way overboard. But now that they continue to dig themselves in deeper in a hole, I m beginning to wonder. Sacto, what do you think?

gsm x2Mike,
I am heartbroken for your cousin and his wife at the loss of their little boy and will definitely put them on my prayer list. There are some things in life that are just so very hard to accept and the loss of a child tops that list for me. I think it is even worse now that I am a parent.
Being a parent is such a strange, yet profound experience. I rejoiced the day we brought Griffin home from the hospital--my heart could not have been any fuller-- and yet I fretted the whole first year, worrying about SIDS. Then Griffin turned one, and I was able to breathe a little bit easier, but then as he continued to grow, there were other things to worry about, like keeping him out of the street or away from strangers, tracking his development as compared to other kids his age, working with him to quit hitting the other kids at preschool...
It s completely beyond our comprehension when the things we do as parents to protect our children, such as getting them immunized to keep them from getting ill, is what unexpectedly hurts them. We have a child, and for the most part, we just assume that they ll be always here. We dream about when they ll start eating solid food, and sitting up and walking and talking; what their school years will be like, what they ll be when they grow up. We look forward to grandchildren someday. And yet, there is no guarantee. I know that the Lord has chosen to bless me with Griffin, but he is only on loan to me. It is my job to love him, care for him, raise him the best way I know how and then set him free. There are days when I can t imagine how I ll ever be able to do that because I can t seem to stop my eyes from tearing up as I watch my mom s car slowly drive away from our home with my little boy strapped securely in the backseat. For Pete s sake, he s only going to Nana s house! The only way I can desribe it is that when Griffin was born, my heart grew three sizes that day.
I m sorry for such a long and rambling post, but I am deeply touched by your cousin s loss. I can only imagine the depth of their grief, and even that is too much for me to bear. Please let them know that our hearts and tears and prayers are with them.

gsm x2Thanks everyone for the kind posts. My mom just talked to my cousin and at least the baby went peacfully, at home in his dads arms. The reassuring point is now he is pain free, not suffering and is in his BIG daddys arms. Lori, i relate to everything you say. Just last night I was laying bed and got an overwhelming desire to go check on Hunter. He of course was fine, but whats wierd is it turns out it was about the same time as Zach passed away.

He can t make that one, but will be going to the " boring" Tahoe rally. I also mentioned to him that if he s around at all during the June rally to try and stop by Sat. or Sun. and say hello.

CottonwooderWe just returned from a 2 hr. (blahh!) trip at Costco with the full intention to buy some things for the PU. Well, the checkbook is definitely a few hundred dollar s lighter, but we didn t get a thing for the PU, lol. Murphy s Law I guess - When you expect to find some things for the PU, you won t.
Amy (the coffee drinker) checked out the new Coleman gas drip coffee maker and decided that it is too big and bulky. It really would take up a lot of storage space. Also, we have been reading a lot of post s about how the coffee doesn t get warm enough. She ll stick to her plastic Melitta filter holder and pour boiling water through it. Almost as good as home.
Also, checked out the 2 1/2 x4 (roughly) aluminun folding table and decided that it just won t work for our needs.
Can t believe we gave ourselves free reign to get some things for the PU and came away empty handed!

We have an unending battle re: coffee making. I m with Amy; nothing is as easy to store, easy to make, and easy to clean up after than the Melita when camping.
Lon loves the boiled coffee! requiring 5 parts to keep up with and a %^$& to clean. So we bring both.
We are looking at a 3 legged table a bit smaller than costco s. I really like the extra table when the camper is far away from the picnicn table, but have decided to bring an extra colman stove for those occasions. It is smaller and packs easier.
We were talking solar panels today. I haven t seen anyone in our group using them, but we do see them in the campgrounds. Sounds like a good idea.
Pricey, but .....

They are well worth the money! Since you arrived late Friday night to Snug Harbor, you missed my velcro mod. I did to them. It worked perfectly! If you get a set of your own (& you should!), I ll show you my simple mod. to make putting them on a breeze.

one camper, Splined had 3 solar panels to recharge his batteries.
each panel was about 18 by 36 inches
They are pricey, so I just bought a second battery,
ALOT cheaper, and ALOT smaller to pack, unpack, and set up.

Three 15-watt panels, as 6Quigs said. at 12.6 volts, it s about 1 amp per hour times three. So three amps per hour. Multiplied by time exposed to the sun (around 7-8), you could generate around 24 amp-hours back into your battery.
Costco online has a complete system including inverter for $314.
I m looking at a solar energy system for my home. 2.4 kilowatts (i.e. 2400 watts). Expensive, but it pays for itself in the reduction of my electricity bill. [:)]

GuestWoops. I pulled an Otter.
I imagine if I had a front storage trunk, the solar system wouldn t be a major hassle packing and unpacking. I would simply mount adhesive tape (3M makes a special double-sided tape that leaves no mark behind when you dismount) to clips to the top of my popup roof, hook up the panels, then run the wire and battery clips to the battery. It s kinda cool. If we dry camped more (I should correct that and say, If we camped more) I would consider getting the system. But we don t so I won t. I got a second battery....and maybe a third.

It s kinda cool. If we dry camped more (I should correct that and say, If we camped more) I would consider getting the system. But we don t so I won t. I got a second battery....and maybe a third.

SactoCampersI went the second battery option. But the second battery does double duty as my trolling motor battery for my canoe.

gsm x2Thanks for all the perspectives veryone. It is indeed solar panels we are thinking of. Costco s price is amazing. I will check it out!. Our idea was to put them on the roof for maximium exposeur. I like the idea better than another battery; but since we generally move toward the easiest and least cost in the short run...we will probably end up with the second battery. We will do a bit of dry camping in Oregon, Washington and Canada this summer. Last summer we got pretty chilly so I want something!.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Woof, woof!! Can t wait to check it out Brian!
Guess I ll quit sneaking up on your PU at 3 in the morning and blowing out your pilot light and then boogy back to my toasty PU and watch you remove the hoses and re-lighting it.
Tomorrow while I wait for a delivery to arrive, I m going to make a simple mod./improvement to the ridiculous flimsy piece of balsawood that Coleman calls a refrigerator baffle that they think will actually direct the warm air to the cooling coils. Nothing fancy like the amazing sheet metal work some PU owner s are doing, but hopefully it will be an improvement. Should only take me about 15 min s. and cost nothing! That combined with the fridge fan inside the fridge circulating the air around should help the fridge run more smoothly.
Am I the only one who gets a headache trying to understand how heat cools a fridge?!!!

It will have been a year in June! Don t worry, you haven t missed much. Only thing I ve done is this PVC thing. I have no time for mods.
Yep. And with my rinky-dink dual-hose system, they would obstruct the door. So I would have to make sure I lit the water heater before setting up the grey water. It was never that big a deal, but mods are all about adding a little convenience. There s already enough things we have to do in sequence to get popups set up, that now I have one less. My system has a PVC extension coming directly out from the trailer about 15" then I used one of those four-way fittings: one for the extension, the second for a vent, the third capped, and the fourth heading directly down. At the terminus of the downward PVC, I used a t-fitting to distribute the water into two tanks. Add a little PVC, a couple elbow fittings, a little more PVC, and male thread couplings and I m in business. I checked the system for leaks with a garden hose and cemented the coupling/PVC connections where that occurred and left the other ones alone so I could take it all apart. Comes apart in three pieces for easy storage.

This is always a busy week with company at the house and the pow wow and mothers day. I am being lazy today to get tready for it. A s and Giants both on tv so I have lots of excuses to hang around. Lon is out hiking, but I opted out.
We had dinner last night with Rita nd Larry. Always fun. We walked and tlaked and laughed and ate and ate. I wonder how the weather is in Temecula this weekend. It doesn t look good on the news here.
Ok friends. I will check in later.[:)]

And, of course, in honor of this day, I m wearing my sweatshirt that says " Will trade husband for scrapbook supplies" . (Yes, I made the iron-on myself. Who else would dare make such a thing???) The back lists about 20 signs showing that you re addicted to scrapbooking. [8D]
Saturday is a major work day for me, where I catch up on all the things I couldn t do during the week, so I was in the office for 3 hours today. Afterwards, Rebec and I hit Michaels and JoAnns with our coupons. Yes, a fine day indeed! [:D]
It s been raining on and off here, but the sun/blue sky is trying valiantly to put in an appearance. Hope the weather is good down in Temecula. We didn t even drive up to Cachuma today.
We have a tentative delivery date of May 30 for our new trailer, so it looks like it ll turn out to be Karen s birthday present (May 31) instead of mine, LOL! This wait is agonizing. [>:]

A friend and I were saying how funny (maybe not to the Mom s) it is that the Mother s day w/e is always a sell-out around the Major Leauges and you wonder how many Mom s would choose a baseball game to be taken to, ha. Sunday s game is totally sold out btw. She gets to sleep in on Sunday.

You must be sooooooo excited. Can t wait to see it in June!
All these May birthdays. Rita was saying she had 4 or so in her family and we have 2. Hmmmmm what goes on in August??????[;)][;)]
Love your shirt! I had one that said, " If they can put one man on the mood, why can t they put them all there?" I would get lots of comments as you can well imagine.
Nothing from the Millers, so the weather must be tolerable.
Lon an I are off tomorrow morning for a ride up elhorn slough to count marine mammals and see egret rookeries. Should be fun and the weather gods seem to be rained out.
Hope you got all your chores today, so you can scrap tomorrow!
QuoteLOL! This wait is agonizing.

The weather, at least here in Ventura, has been better than what we had at El Chorro. Let s hope the Snickers have been/are enjoying some decent weather too.
QuoteI wonder how the weather is in Temecula this weekend. It doesn t look good on the news here.

What s up with all of the Sea-otter deaths this last month (April)? More bodies washed up last month in Monterey than all of the last 10 years! Wonder what s going on?
Have fun tomorrow!
QuoteAnybody up for a mini-rally at the coast in a couple weeks?

Although we ve never met, we love camping at the coast, and if your trip was somewhere between Memorial Day and the Gold Rush rally, we d love to tag along...especially if there s a possibility of abalone for dinner

Good to see you around! Don t eat too many mini donuts or it will be " round" .
Dave is thinking more along the coast. Probably in Southern Mendo. County (just a guess). I would love to go, but we can t from now till the June rally. I would like to join him some other time down the road though.
SugarLoaf SP as you know is only 20 minutes from my front door so my ears naturally perk up when that is mentioned. It however is inland near Kenwood (near Jack London s home). Also, the dreaded Oak disease hit SugarLoaf over the winter and although the authorities did a good job of keeping every possible tree they could, there still are about 50 downed tree s laid out across the back cg loop. So there are only about 20 sites available right now. We drove up there 2 w/e s ago to look around. They really were careful in cutting down tree s as each site still has a lot of shade. We ll be up there at the observatory on May 15th (not camping) for the lunar eclipse.

Hope all is well well otherwise my friend. Great to see Ray back to posting, hopfully work has let up enough to give him some free time.

Or the baffoon s that build along rivers and can t believe that their home is being flooded! Locally, we see it every 3 or 4 years with people living along the Russian river. They then want taxes to pay for their homes to be rebuilt.
I just thought their might have been a small oil spill or something like that in Monterey Bay which we didn t hear about.
Nice to see you dropping in btw!

Maybe the weekend of May 24th-25th, cuz the weekend after that we ve got an obligation. If not, no biggee, cuz it s a long season and we can always plan another trip later on. I was thinking of the northern Mendocino coast, between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg. (it s actually easier to drive to than the Mendo south coast, trust me.) There s even a real nice private campground in Cleone, just a rock s throw from McKericher State Park: BIG open sites under tall trees, water and electrons at all the sites, nice fire rings, store, showers...
If not, another June weekend before the Rally might be nice, or later this summer. Heck, I m easy. What say?

Lon is the expert on this, but I can tell you what I have heard him tell others. The otters are being made ill from something in the water. Whatever the evil-doer is it comes along with cat feces. It is probably all along the coast, but seems to be activated around the 2 big power plants at Moss landing and Morro Bay. Could be the temp., or another chemical substance which activates the stuff in the feces. I don t think anyone has tracked it down. We don t let Sadie out of the car along the coast where there are mammals living. Domestic animals are not allowed even the parking lot at Ano Nuevo.
There are several studies going on now tho along the coast. We have seen a big downtrun in # s in Santa Cruz int he last few years.

Civil_War_BuffHey everyone, hope you had a nice wet weekend. I had a pretty cool weekend. Started out Friday afternoon when I traden by piece of junk 88 Izusu Trooper in for and 88 Pontiac Fiero in perfect condition and half the miles of my Trooper. Its a great commuter car and fun to drive.
We went to the Pleasanton RV Show on Saturday and were pretty disapointed. They had advertised to have Coleman, Starcraft, Forrestriver and Jayco PU s but the only ones that came were Coleman from Alpine RV. That new Monterey is pretty cool! Of course the Trail Manor was there. They are indeed nice but a little out of our means right now. I did like the $420,000 diessel pusher though. I could live in that thing. It even had a 42 inch plasma screen that droped out of the ceiling.
Anyway, we looked around for a few hours then it started pouring, I got soaked and we left.

Yeah, we camped there last August. Small little campground, no hookups, but right on the beach! Some sites you back into and your view is the ocean with the beach beginning at the back of the site. We re hoping to get one of those but not counting on it. The sites not directly on the beach are actually sheltered a little better.

I was going to go to the Pleasanton RV show, but I figured that the weather was not going to make it a " pleasant" on experience, so we stayed closer to home. I did watch Holly on the RV 2003 re-run though, and besides the WONDERFUL TrailManor on there, I was impressed with the mere $260, 000 MH that they opened the show with. How sad is that?
It is really amazing what they will put into those MH s to get you to part with your cash isn t it?
As for the Monterey, I liked it too, but I still wish they would have put a shower inside that thing....the only complaint I had though, I was impressed.
QuoteORIGINAL: Nick
Hey everyone, hope you had a nice wet weekend. I had a pretty cool weekend. Started out Friday afternoon when I traden by piece of junk 88 Izusu Trooper in for and 88 Pontiac Fiero in perfect condition and half the miles of my Trooper. Its a great commuter car and fun to drive.
We went to the Pleasanton RV Show on Saturday and were pretty disapointed. They had advertised to have Coleman, Starcraft, Forrestriver and Jayco PU s but the only ones that came were Coleman from Alpine RV. That new Monterey is pretty cool! Of course the Trail Manor was there. They are indeed nice but a little out of our means right now. I did like the $420,000 diessel pusher though. I could live in that thing. It even had a 42 inch plasma screen that droped out of the ceiling.
Anyway, we looked around for a few hours then it started pouring, I got soaked and we left.

Civil_War_BuffDave, Tania, & (maybe) Dianne -
Well, if June 7, & 8 are still being kicked around, you can add 3 more to your mini-rally. Might even consider arriving late Friday (6/6) afternoon. That happened to be the only possible w/e that might work for us between now and Plymouth. Amy can t make it though, as she will gallantly stand in for all of us at 2 prior engagements. What a terrific woman!
If this does happen, maybe Wagonmaster Dave could start a thread?
I m with Dianne, the all-of-a-sudden rallies are fun. The January rally at Chabot came about that way with Nick & I chatting about camping. Next thing you knew, a rally was born! That one had an excellent Wagonmaster as I recall.
Larry/CWB & Mike/Nick -
I like the Monterey too, but a drill is much less expensive. Besides, I would worry about all of those moving parts wearing out or having trouble within 2 years or so.
Larry/CWB -
We will be in Monterey (the city, not PU) Memorial w/e (in a Motel), but already have a full w/e planned. One of the highlights in fact, will be spending time with 2 fellow NNC ers who happen to live in Santa Cruz.
Have a " killer" time, ha!
I will pass along your pop quiz to the kid and have him send you an answer. I know he ll be excited to give you his answer.
Btw, " April 1865" was a good read. You should check it out if you haven t already. Some pretty grizzly scenes were described. The carnage from that war is just horrible! I liked how the author described the chess-match like moves of Grant and Lee.
Brian -
We would have loved to come out and visit (or is that bother?) you guys at Wright s Beach, but as already mentioned, we will be looking deeper into this sea-otter mysterey. We did some work out there (the coast) 2 weeks ago and it was absolutely beautiful. Have fun! If you d like some retaurant recommendation s, just ask.

We will certainly be there. We are about 15 mins. from Roaring camp. Probably see you on friday and then again on Monday. Our Address and phone # is on the contact list G-Whiz did for us!. We should plan something for Monday: Jeff is in the area, Kevin and Larry and Duane Family are just down the road, Ray is EVERYWHERE, and we are just around the corner. Let s try it!
QuoteFor anyone who will be in the Felton/Santa Cruz area over Memorial Day Weekend, I will be doing my Civil War thing there that weekend! I know that how much everyone loves it when I get started with my Civil War stories and now you can see me live it! How exciting is that? Anyhow, we are at Roaring Camp in Felton, and I will wear Bluejeans on Friday, Grey on Saturday, Blue on Sunday, and Monday for the beautiful Memorial Celebration, I will wear.......blue!

Unfortunately, we will be going in pretty much the opposite direction that weekend [:(] I would have liked to have seen that CWB! You ll have to be sure to post some good pics that I can show my class....speaking of which, if you re ever in the Sacramento area, and have your " gear" with you, I know my class would LOVE to see it and ask you about a million questions. We no longer teach a Civil War unit in fifth grade, but my classes have always loved it so much, I manage to sneak it in anyway (shhhhh...don t tell the district spies....I don t always follow their directions to the letter [:o])

oops! How s that for being out of touch with the calender? Prolly not a good weekend to plan anything for a group of folks, cuz the big holiday weekends get a lot of divers up here and they fill the campgrounds.
Anybody else up for June 8th? If it s too close to the Rally for anybody else, that s completely understandable. So, Tania--- can two NNC members make a mini-rally? With 3-4 members, I could actually justify capitalizing the *m* in " mini" .[:D]

That is such a sad commentary on our nation in general but especially California. I have see more and more of the foundational events in our history as a nation removed from the cirriculum because " someone might get offended" . If we don t learn from (or about) our history, we are truly destined to repeat it.
I have always felt that school vouchers would be a kiss of death to the public school system, but now I wonder what I was thinking.....at least the private sector isn t held hostage to the State BoE...it is beginning to sound more and more like the " education" part of public education is only accomplished when bold teachers (like yourself) put yourselves at risk by teaching in opposition to the " board" .
I salute your fortitude, and I would be honored to speak to your class, and I could/would arrange to be in the area sometime...let s talk at the rally.

Civil_War_BuffSounds like a Mini-Rally is in the works. Maybe I can go to that one.
As I have reported, I ve been pretty busy at work, good news during a weak economy, espcially for an independent businessperson, and have also taken up biking in a big way, so things have been packed. But the sad news is, I think I have to back-out (pull a Sacto) of the Superbowl of Rallies, the Gold Rush Rally.
I submitted a bid for a job and just be careful what you wish for, we won the job and to think, we were the complete underdogs. Unbeknowst to me, the actual days of production are June 20th and 21st. The following week, I have to be in Fla-ree-da which doesn t leave me with much room at all.
Regards from a very sad Surfcal

Well, all the way up here in the wild, wild north...who d a thunk it?[:D]
Okay-- my dear, wunnerful, and luverly other half will today contact a private campground just north of Ft. Bragg, and see about reserving 4-5 sites for that weekend. Question: Who needs Friday night, and who needs Sunday night? We ll be there for Friday night, and Saturday night is a " given" for all. Sunday night is out for us, cuz I gotta work Monday morning.
Although the state parks are nice, they don t have W&E at the sites, and I m guessing that s a requirement, correct? The campground I m thinking of is not " on the beach" , but among sheltering trees about 300 yards from the ocean, with large sites and plenty of elbow room. $20 @ night for a site with W&E. So far we have the Ab Diver s, Ca-girl, and Red neff Barchetta. I ll call my brother and see if he (they) wants to join us, since he has access to our old Starcraft pop-up.
Otter? Surfcal? Anybody else? ( Beuhler?... Beuhler?)
Lemme know if that sounds about right, and I ll start a thread with the particulars tonight.

Sounds great! Just let me know how much $ to send you. We ll be there for 2 nights (Fri. & Sat.).
Ray -
You ve forgotten the rules my " Deliverance" quoting friend;
Pulling a Sacto for a Sacto led rally is outlawed in many states, including California. Although, through a little known loophole, if you can prove at least partial residence in Tennessee, then even though you are in essence, divorcing Sacto, you 2 can still remain first cousin s.
This would allow you to arrive on Sunday, 6/22 and stay until Monday with many of us. Just remember, I am married and my PU door will be locked!
See you at the June rally! Glad I could help.
Btw, if anyone reading this is related to Al Gore, er I mean from his state, I hope I didn t offend you.

Civil_War_BuffIt would be truly sad if we had a Mega-Rally that was surfcal-free, I like Neff s idea of a surcal-lite, as several of us will be there till Monday.
Brian, if he is kidding, that this a major fox-pass (faux paux), as it quite possibly made Neff cry. If he is serious, then I want to show my full support for your " re-definition" initiative and will cast my vote accordingly.

Uh oh....now you ve all gotten me started....[CA-girl pulls out her soapbox while her fellow teachers help her step up to start the tirade....husband Kevin says, " Oh God" ]
I think that in most schools, history is covered pretty well...at least in my kids school it is. The problem really comes in when you teach in a school like mine...inner-city, high poverty, limited English, etc. There is a HUGE push to teach nothing but reading and math so that the students can score higher in the all important (please bow as I say the words) STANDARDIZED TESTING...testing...testing. What the " they" that work in the district office (far far away from any children) don t seem to realize is that THESE are the kids that need the MOST enrichment!! If you are interested in this topic, I have a thrilling first 25 or 30 pages of my masters thesis on how poverty limits a child s prior knowledge base and therefore reading comprehension.
Unfortunately, there are many teacher who are either afraid of what will happen if they question the district/board s decision making or just don t care, so they don t make waves. I, (I don t know whether to say fortunately or unfortunately here...it probably depends on who you ask) try to always keep foremost in my mind what will benefit my students the most. I cover all the stuff I m supposed to cover and try to prepare them for the damn STAR testing, but I also put as much other stuff in there as I can possibly manage, and I have a room full of kids from every grade level every day after school just to hang out and talk....sometimes that can make the biggest difference of all for these kids.

Civil_War_BuffG-Whiz....we have in incredible opportunity coming up in June. It s kind of like being on the earth someplace that is CLOSE to a FULL SOLAR ECLIPSE, and just staying where there is a partial eclipse. We just can t let this opportunity pass us up. Especially since we have just had the title " Supercampers" bestowed on us.
We could, can you believe it---attend TWO RALLIES in one weekend. Here s the plan.
Arrive Thursday afternoon at Vail Lakes. Stay on Friday and leave right after the " Unplanned but listed breakfast" on Saturday.
Now it is a bit of a drive up to Fort Bragg, but...
[image]http://home.earthlink.net/~gsmx2/ttofb.gif[/image]
... we could make it JUST IN TIME for the Saturday Pot Luck dinner in Northern California. We could stay in Fort Bragg on Sunday, watching the mere mortals packing up, then drive the short distance home on Monday.
What do you say???? Ready to make history. Maybe we can even convince Surfcal to do it in the opposite direction. We could meet at the In and Out in in Buttonwillow for lunch. What do you say Surfcal????

Arrive Thursday afternoon at Vail Lakes. Stay on Friday and leave right after the " Unplanned but listed breakfast" on Saturday.
Now it is a bit of a drive up to Fort Bragg, but...

... we could make it JUST IN TIME for the Saturday Pot Luck dinner in Northern California. We could stay in Fort Bragg on Sunday, watching the mere mortals packing up, then drive the short distance home on Monday.
What do you say???? Ready to make history. Maybe we can even convince Surfcal to do it in the opposite direction. We could meet at the In and Out in in Buttonwillow for lunch. What do you say Surfcal????

You simply MUST find a way to attend....who will I giggle with?? Who will I make my " inside" jokes with?? Who will remind me of the difference between PRIVATE and PUBLIC comments?????
QuoteBut the sad news is, I think I have to back-out (pull a Sacto) of the Superbowl of Rallies, the Gold Rush Rally.

Very interested. Can you post/send a condensed version of this?
I attended a district PAC meeting in October, during which the district superintendent showed various bar charts of English and math results, broken down by schools, grade level, economic level, and who knows what. The one clear thing that emerged was that money seems to have a direct correlation with results. The schools with kids who were better off had better results. The schools with poor kids had poor results. If that s the case, according to our 9yo s STAR results from last year, we should be millionaires! Yet we re right at average, if not a little below.
I really don t understand how $$$ = brain cells. Libraries are free. Reading and math are all around us. Even before we enter the store, our 2yo is reading off the letters in the store name, which I sound out for her. She s been naming fruits and veggies in the grocery stores since she was a year old. With our 9yo, we compare prices and percentages off, price per ounce, etc. We can happily drown in a sea of " learning" if we open our eyes and see it in front of our faces. What am I missing? Isn t a stable family life more relevant than the size of the family bank account?
BTW, kudos to you! We could do with more teachers like you. [:)]

Tania, First let me give you a hug and a big thank you! Teachers anywhere , but especially in the innercity, poor districts, have my unending respect. I taught and lived, in the Ravenswood District for 20 years. I would love to see you draft thesis. Poverty is chain around our children s neck. To be illeterate in the 5th or 6th grade is a death sentence. The statistics are crushing. Our system fails these kids. I am hoping to make the June 7-8 mini rally. We will talk!.

$$$$= nutrition
$$$ =a bed of your own

books to read and a place to read them, a desk, paper and pencils, educated parents, health insurance, dental insurance, and on and on. Poverty is sufficating. It sucks the hope out of children and the adults around them.
We are so fortunate. Give those wonderful girls a hug from me[:)]

Skip the breakfast, hit the road, and we ll see you for dinner.[;)] Or, since you each have your own name and puter, you could each go to a different rally.

Civil_War_BuffI think I can pull off an appearance by coming to the Saturday night potluck and staying overnight with just the truck. I can leave San Jose (that s where the event is) in the late afternoon, jam to the Gold Rush Rally and come in just in time to eat everyone s food and drink Nick s homebrew.
But for me, it won t be the same because the greatest fun about attending a rally is arriving at the oddest time in the wee hours of the morning or getting there in time to inadvertently throw off the site assignment line-up, or hanging out by Larry s stove and gleaning off the best pieces of the chicken before they make it to the table or starting campfires that become ragers that Scott Miller has to stand guard with a garden hose.
Or learning from CWB that old Civil War Reenactment Soldiers never die...and they don t even fade away. They just keep coming back over and over again, like in Sweet Home Alabama, definitely a chick movie.

We ll continue your historic camping biathlon arrangement with a discussion in the Wavin at da Beach thread.

...arriving just at potluck time IS an odd time Ray, maybe not the oddest and maybe you won t be the first to do it if the CampersAnonymous hasn t got the Miller s in lockdown by then.... BUT THAT S OK!. You don t have to top your last arrival by the next. In fact it is a good idea to lull us [&:] for awhile. You know, increase the anticipation.

otterWell, the day has finally come. There s an explosion of ideas of forming a group here in Southern California. Still debating a name and whether we should be part of NNC or totally separate, but am sure that will be decided pretty soon. As Griffsmom just posted, this is [:D] and [:(] all rolled into one. Sacto said it s like watching your kids go off to college, an idea too sad for me to think of. I m not leaving NNC, so let me claim first dibs on " Dual Citizenship" , LOL! ::::stepping aside to avoid the stampede of others doing likewise:::: [:)]

QuoteORIGINAL: Tracy and David
WOW! I take off for a day and look how things explode around here!
Well then, that ll teach you![;)][8D][:D]
You know, I know that we all know this, but maybe it just needs to be said: if we have our own separate group, we can still go to the NNC rallies and vice versa. In fact, whenever we schedule a rally, I would find it odd if one of us didn t post a notice on the other s forum. If we decide to become SCPUC or ESCAIP or OHOTS or SHOTS or something else (but not FART!), I for one will apply for dual citizenship so I can continue to post on the NNC forum as well as our group s. Besides, knowing NNC, they re too nosy to not check in on us and add to our discussion from time to time![;)]
But the reality of the situation is that some people just don t have time or the inclination (or if you re Jacqui, the high speed Internet connection) to hop around a bunch of different forums, so for them it probably would be much easier for the two groups to be separate so they could just visit the one place in which they re interested. That s probably the best way for newbies to find the approriate group for themselves as well. And that s probably the most compelling reason to be spearate is so that those campers who come across PUT and are looking for a group to camp with can find it easily.
As much as I d like to remain a chapter within NNC, it seems like the best course for us is to probably set out on our own. [:(] and yet [:D]

Fellow Californians,
In the course of Human events, there....err, uhhh, A House divided cannot stand! A club divided cannot stand, it must be all one way, or all the other....As it is with NNC...On YOUR heads my fellow Californians in the South is the issue of club division, and quite possibly verbal civil war. I appeal to the inner angels of your nature to reconsider your course, if you wish to mentally redefine NNC to " Never Needs Cleaning" or " Nicest New Campers, or NNC anything you want, but please, please, consider the ramifications of an act of outright secession.
Just as John Brown did in 1859, we may need to take up (verbal) arms and take a stand, even if it means that we hurt some feelings in the process,(I mean this figuratively, not literally), we are ONE, One State, One Nation, One Club!!!!!!!!!!! (strike up the band).
Northerners are your statesmen (and women), do not fracture the club, we remain a United State, a United Nation AND a United Club.....consider the ramifications of your choices.

and as for saying " home, home" ??
When did she suddenly learn to talk?????
Sounds like she is growing up fast.
It wasn t that long ago that I remember Sacto posting here ,
and his signiture had a baby due in Jan/02.
Times has flown!!
I also can t believe we haven t seen her since Woodson Bridge, 8 months ago!
We just haven t been to the same rally together.
Looking forward to seeing her and your DW again in June,

Lori,
I m with Dave on this one, while my DW is on your side,
but no harm to have him checked out just in case,
and at least they have a baseline to compare, if there should any problems later.
Our 4 kids all developed at different stages.
Of course, coming from different parents, really helped with the mix.
They all started everything at vastly different stages, be it crawling, walking, talking, potty training, riding a bike, learing colors, the alphabet, reading, riding a bike.....
So relax, it s probably nothing, and he ll start talking when he s ready.

Actually, she can t quite run yet. It s kind of a speedwalk stumble kind of thing.
She doesn t really talk, but she can say a bunch of words. Most of the time she says " buhti buhti Ba" .
Faster than I d like. But since she gives me kisses without having to ask while I get her dressed and change her diaper I guess I ll forgive her! [;)] She s definitely daddy s girl.
But your math is off. Her due date was in Dec/01. Or in Euro, 06.12.01.
Weren t you at Del Valle? and you must not have been at Lake Chabot. Wow, those are the past two rallies I ve been to. I tried to talk Mrs. Sacto into going to " Wave n at da Beach" but she works on Fridays and it s too long of a drive for the amount of time we would be spending. Funny thing is she had heard of the private campground next to McKerricher and I hadn t. That s a first.

Funny thing is she had heard of the private campground next to McKerricher and I hadn t. That s a first.

LOL! [:D] Intellectually, I m more inclined to think that you and my DH are right, but it s a mother s job to worry. Besides, I figure that once I get the piece of paper that says he s fine, I can tell the pediatrician and the teachers to get off my baby s back![;)]

Lori,
I m with Dave on this one, while my DW is on your side,
but no harm to have him checked out just in case,
and at least they have a baseline to compare, if there should any problems later.
Our 4 kids all developed at different stages.
Of course, coming from different parents, really helped with the mix.
They all started everything at vastly different stages, be it crawling, walking, talking, potty training, riding a bike, learing colors, the alphabet, reading, riding a bike.....
So relax, it s probably nothing, and he ll start talking when he s ready.
" You spend the first few years teacking them to walk and talk, and the next 20 years telling them to sit down and shut up" [;)]

Civil_War_BuffHeya Buff, I ve already posted on the Southern board that I m staying put here. NNC is my home; took me under its wing and brought me back to PUT when I had already left. ______ (as yet nameless) will be another home for me, but NNC will always be my " first home" . [:D]
Don t even think of it as breaking away, more like an easier-to-understand hangout for those who find NNC too fast-paced.
Hey, once we re set up, perhaps we ll throw a housewarming and invite all you Northern neighbors over! [:)]

Not bye, more like " just be right around the corner" (and we do like YOU, Dianne, it s those other people that you hang around with that are a bit suspect![;)])
Seriously, the least Northern part of NNC has grown to such an extent that it has now found that it needs a bit more of a hands-on mechanism by which to interact and hook up with one another. Up until now, we had our May 2003 rally forum, but now that the rally is over, we don t really have a place where everyone can communicate with each other about up coming rallies and spur-of-the-moment camp-outs. And you have to admit, the NNC forum can be a bit intimidating, if not downright overwhelming to the uninitiated; heck, even moderator1 tends to steer clear of this place![;)]
So the decision to form a separate camping club isn t because we re rejecting you (remember, I ve already applied for dual citizenship as have a few other SoCallies[:D]). Rather, it s merely to be able to make communicating and planning SoCal rallies--both full-fledged and mini--more convenient and simple. I anticipate that our respective groups will still interact here on the boards at PUT as well as in the real 3-D world of pop up camping. So, in other words, you couldn t get rid of us, even if you tried! [:D]
Okay, {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{group hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Am I correct, speak up so that the (northern) jurors can hear you.....[8D]..sorry, sorry, my " feelings" are little hurt here by this UPRISING!!! Please listen to yourselves talk here....don t you see the similarities? In 1862 they said " this isn t about salvery, or about politics" it s about " state s rights" ...they too tried to sugar coat the act of secession by saying it was for the common good. They didn t see themselves as BREAKING the Union, they just wanted to govern themselves as THEY saw fit...starting to sound familiar now my friends in southland??? I don t know what you hope to gain by BREAKING away, but should you go through with this act of aggression (it does " feel" that way), then sanctions will HAVE TO be put into place, and then, no doubt, the verbal scuds will start flying won t they? I ask you to appeal to (your) president-elect TOS to put an end to this, and let us return to the happy, harmonious little band of " cracked nuts" that we have always been and have become infamous because of..OK????? Now, no more talk of this " southern faction" , agreed??? Now, let s all just " ggeeet alllong" , OK???

Why does there have to be a " one or the other" kind of approach here? Why can t it be " one and one more?" I live in the heart of SoCal, so a SoCal club will allow me to know folks who will more likely be able to camp with me in my geographic area on short notice (the June mini-rally is a good example of that--we re not even a week back from our May rally, and we already have a small group going back for a mini-rally in June!).

We re planning to surpise the girls next Christmas morning with a packed trailer and tickets to Disneyland (shhhh...don t say anything....it s a SURPRISE). Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any clues or tips on where to get tickets to the Park for the best price (I ve heard they are pretty cheap through the military), and if anyone has any good (or particularly BAD) parks to stay (or NOT stay) in while we re there or while we re on the way. We plan to stop over for one night between here (Sacramento) and there.
I d appreciate the help!! If you d rather, you can email me directly....I m on the handy-dandy " list" from Georgeanne. [:D]

CottonwooderWe were talking at breakfast this morning and Amy was mentioning how she is getting a little tired of her Bunko game (monthly card game) because it has gotten a little stale lately. She really enjoys everyone in the group, but she was talking about how it s gotten a little repetitious the past few months.
Anyway, it got me thinking about the NNC rally s (or rallies or Larry s or Larries) and how there is always some terrific variation of Cougher s at each one. It is so nice to be able to get to know someone a little better than you did at the last rally because either they weren t there or you 2 didn t get to talk much for some reason or another. Each rally has its own mix of Cougher s and I think the different mixes are one reason each rally is such a hit in its own rite.
That s my morning rabble for today.
Happy Mother s Day!!!!!!!

An observation I have made is that each rally is different because of at least three factors.

[ul]
- Who attends--which you have summerized well. But the number of attendees too. Maxi Rallies are fun for the number of people you get to see. Mini Rallies allow you to spend time with just a few people and get to know them better.
- The campground and the surrounding area. For example at Olema, there were lots of activities in the area, so most people wandered out during the day and didn t hang around the campground. The opposite of that was Snug Harbor, where no one left for the day for fear that they would never find it a second time and thus would be separated permenantly from their popup.
- The weather which can be warm and calm condusive to lots of lingering around campfires. Or cold windy and wet leads to " family time" inside the PU. [/ul]
So, I don t think there is any fear that the monthly trips will become stale...especially since we seem to get a couple new victims each trip.

Speaking of Mini Rallies (how that for grabbing the ball and running with it?), there is a Mini Rally in the works right now. In case some of you haven t had a chance to follow the " Wave n at da Beach" thread, we are up to 7 familes attending! There are plenty of sites left until May 19th. I told the campground that if we don t need those extra sites by then, we probably won t. So if you are thinking of joining us, please don t wait until the last minute. [:o]
Looks like it s gunna be a fun weekend. Even Surfcal is gunna bring a wetsuit and " Hang Ten" on a kayak. [;)]

QuoteAfter dinner we watched Disneyland shoot off 20 minutes of fireworks.After reading this in TOS s post on another thread, I realized that the So/Cal folks are a perfect group to ask the question Kevin and I have been asking each other for months.....
We re planning to surpise the girls next Christmas morning with a packed trailer and tickets to Disneyland (shhhh...don t say anything....it s a SURPRISE). Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any clues or tips on where to get tickets to the Park for the best price (I ve heard they are pretty cheap through the military), and if anyone has any good (or particularly BAD) parks to stay (or NOT stay) in while we re there or while we re on the way. We plan to stop over for one night between here (Sacramento) and there.
I d appreciate the help!! If you d rather, you can email me directly....I m on the handy-dandy " list" from Georgeanne. [:D]

Yup, your right Lori, we go to Lake Cachuma right after Christmas. With Christmas on a Thursday we could start the rally on Friday. Now here lies the problem with splitting our Clubs, which website do we set up the rally on when the time comes? Will this be a Dual-Citzenship rally that is posted on both websites? or will one group host it?

OMG, that was nothing more than a fleeting thought last night... so fleeting, it didn t seem like a problem at all. Any rally in NNC s area is posted in the NNC forum, while any rally in SCC s area is posted in our new [:D] forum, if it s too small a rally to be posted in the main Rally forum. Realize that " area" has very vague boundary lines, LOL! Any meet-in-the-middle rallies will be taken over by whoever wants to take it over. Easy, n est-ce pas?
:::sigh::: TOS knows me too well. I don t know how, since we only see each other at rallies (all 2 of them!), but somehow he knows me inside out. Am too chicken to wagonmaster a rally in unfamiliar territory, but Ccachuma is like " home" to us. OK, I ll do it. (Great, now I ll have half a year to second guess myself, LOL!)
One more thing...

I see that the split has already happened, I was not aware that the " Scampers in the south" have already done their own thing. Maybe I have been out of circulation too long. Anyhow..........
I will be quiet, I will no longer " BEAT A DEAD HORSE" .
Best of luck with your club.
Peace!

Larry--thanks for the good luck. G-Whiz and I certainly plan on exercising all rights granted to us by duel-citizenship and will attend rallies organized by both clubs--maybe even on the same weekend, but not this time.
How about in the spirit of cooperation we agree that NNC can keep the " C" for Central? Then we can divide the state as follows:
[image]http://scorpio.lunarpages.com/~sccamp2/images/countymap.jpg[/image]
NNC Rallies occur north of Monterey Count. SCC rallies occur south of Santa Barbara County. And any rally that occurs in the middle is by default declared a JOINT RALLY.

P.S. Going camping today at Lake Chabot (site of the Negativer Bouyancy Rally) and hopefully have a nice view of the eclipse. Then headed out to Sonoma to slide in a little camping up there for Friday night, but along the way I have to do a site survey at the Culinary Institute in Napa for the Wine Institute. Not a bad way to make a living.
Then on Saturday night, have to attend a recognition dinner at the Culinary Institute for the wine industry s big guns, like Mondavi, Gallo, Brother Timothy (Christian Brothers) and perhaps Coppola.
That s why it s busy at work. On top of the regular stuff, we re working on a documentary for PBS on the history of the wine industry in California and the Prohibition, and of course, my favorite law, the 21st Amendment, the repeal of the Prohibition.
One of these days, I ll pitch to do a documentary on " Mari-wa-nah, getting to the bottom of Pot." Peace man.

g-whizOnly 9 more days until I get to go camping for the first time since January! We re heading to the beach for memorial day weekend!
On another note, I was looking at the popup in the garage and had a tape measure in my hand. I decided to measure the base of the popup (floor-to-floor from the outside) and realize that while my Tracker says it s a " Trailstar 12SC" , it s really a 10 box [&:]. I knew it was a little undersized for a 12-footer, but I thought it was maybe an 11 foot box or something. Turns out it s a 10-footer. That explains a few things. It s funny, when we were researching, I was looking all over the place for a 10-footer with shower/cassette, Starcraft, Coleman, Jayco, Rockwood, etc., and I gave up, thinking I ll just get this " light 12-footer."

I decided to measure the base of the popup (floor-to-floor from the outside) and realize that while my Tracker says it s a " Trailstar 12SC" , it s really a 10 box [&:]. I knew it was a little undersized for a 12-footer, but I thought it was maybe an 11 foot box or something. Turns out it s a 10-footer. That explains a few things. It s funny, when we were researching, I was looking all over the place for a 10-footer with shower/cassette, Starcraft, Coleman, Jayco, Rockwood, etc., and I gave up, thinking I ll just get this " light 12-footer."

Our parameters were a little different [;)]. I was looking for the lightest popup with a shower/cassette potty. Everything else was negotiable. At the time we were towing with our Dodge Intrepid. I didn t care if it was 8-foot, 10-foot, or 12-foot. [:D].

QuoteHow about in the spirit of cooperation we agree that NNC can keep the " C" for Central? Then we can divide the state as follows:
NNC Rallies occur north of Monterey Count. SCC rallies occur south of Santa Barbara County. And any rally that occurs in the middle is by default declared a JOINT RALLY.

There s no separation, and I ve never heard mention of too many rules anywhere. Many (most) of the Southerners can t find their way around the boards, and so wanted to have one local board, that s all. 99.99% of SCC s formation is board technicalities.

I m not sure I m following this line of thought re " ownership" of rallies. I don t really care who s rally it is. The way I see it, if an NNC member plans the rally, I would expect to find it on NNC s Web page with a post in the SCC forum letting us know that it s in the works, and if there s a rally started by an SCC member, it would be on the www.sccampers.org site, with a post in the NCC forum letting you know about it.
Which leads me to my next point, whatcha doin for Halloween?[;)]

She called her sister, who also showed up. Then Friday morning Ray called and we let him know where we were. By 3:30 p.m., not a.m., he was at El Chorro also. So, it may well be Septemer 2003, over one year and two months, before we actually camp ALONE. Not sure we will know how to do it without all the support and culinary skills of NNC and SCC folks.

oldmooseThis weekend was the first time we camped alone since last Thanksgiving. In some ways, it felt a little lonely around the campfire, and yet in other ways, it felt much more unstructured and slower paced. The German language has a perfect word for how it felt: " langsam," which means slow, yet in a langorous way. [:)]

oldmooseSince we had nothing else to do yesterday, I talked Mrs. Sacto into going to an RV dealership to look at hybrids. Not that we intend to buy one anytime soon (nor are we in a position to do so [&:]), but to show her why they appealed to me. We went to the only Palomino dealer in the Sac area and I wanted to look at the 17 model (2600 lbs as equipped on the lot ) and the 21 model with a slideout in case we ever got a more capable tow vehicle.
So we get in the car and Sactotoddler decides to take a nap on the way over. We arrive and then wait a half-hour until finally waking her up. She wasn t real pleased about that [&:][;)]. They had the 17 model I wanted to look and the 21 but it wasn t set up. I like the 17-footer because Palomino is the only maker that puts the door in front of the axle, meaning it s easier to get to the horseshoe dinette without having to squeeze past whoever might be cooking. Full bathroom with dry shower/tub, large fridge, bigger sink, ducted heating, tasteful interior (by contrast there was a used Jayco 17A whose fabric left something to be desired), and a nice storage area in the front. The hybrid was nice and light inside too, plenty of sunshine, still felt like " camping" plus a few more conveniences. Okay, I can see myself in this thing <frantically doing calculations in my head 2600 plus about 350 lbs of additional " stuff" , 8000 GCWR minus 4300 minivan weight minus 2950 minus 400 " extra" = pretty darn close to max capacity but maybe doable. Test tow woud definitely be required>. Maybe someday we both say. I explain to Mrs. Sacto the virture of the horseshoe dinette and how we would take it out and put it under the awning....how it would be easier to set up, how we could put food in the fridge before leaving, how I wouldn t have to set up the grey water system, how we could stop and have lunch inside or use the bathroom instead of stopping somewhere, how we can pack all of our stuff in the trailer instead of in sterlite buckets and drawers in the car then transferring into the popup, how I wouldn t have to set up the door, how we could give Megan and her future sibling a real bath rather than a shower/rinse.... Okay, I think I m making headway. No dice. Mrs. Sacto ain t buying it cause she doesn t have to do the work anyway. So then I think to myself, " why don t I just get over it." It s just a little work. No big deal. Camping isn t supposed to be easy. But oh, how nice it would be, you know, the shorter/easier set up and break down routine. I ve always said, when I start thinking about a hybrid to instead think about how much nicer a popup is compared to tent camping. That s usually comforting, but when you see something you really like, the temptation starts to anchor into your belly and it s all you can think about. You know, the feeling of anticipation of how much more fun it could be. Maybe it s just because I haven t been camping since January, but the packing and unpacking (especially considering all that Mrs. Sacto brings) creates a psychological barrier that I wish didn t exist. So alas, it wasn t to be.....maybe someday though.
But this isn t only a tale about my epic philosophical struggle of hybrid versus popup. No, this is also a story about a cheesy salesman. We leisurely look at the hybrid asking a few questions here and there, he chimes in with a non-sequiter: " I have a customer right now, out to lunch, who s going to come back because I have the best product and best prices." We ignore him, not knowing from where that statement came. Then I ask him where the weight sticker on the hybrid was located, because it usually provides the weight as equpped with options (I knew the dry weight without options was around 2300 lbs.). Rather than tell me where it is located, he tried to tell me the hybrid weighed 1700 lbs! I said you re mistaken because I know it weighs at least 2300 lbs. He got defensive and tried to correct me but I remained firm. This is not a good sign....that the salesman doesn t know his product (big surprise). I finally locate the weight sticker on the cabinet door beneath the stove: 2600 lbs. This included awning and AC but no oven or stereo. As we re walking out, out of curiosity I see a tag on the grab handle and it says $15,900!! I confirm this price and he says, " but I can sell it to you for $14,800." Oh, thanks buddy. Don t do me any favors. This thing should be closer to $12k not $15k.
I guess the final straw was that we noticed his sales operation was conducted out of a mobile home. This is a bad sign and I made this mistake once with our Tracker. When they operate out of a mobile home it tells me they are not a long-term, highly reputable and/or stable dealer. And our last dealer was a crook, so I don t think I ll take any chances in the future with those who don t have a permanent dwelling on their lot.
But I did like that hybrid. [;)]

Oh Sacto, boy, do we know that feeling. I ve had it since January, when we chose our future beloved. It hit Mike last month, when the timing suddenly became a lot more " present" than " future" and it became more real to him. Since it was ordered three weeks ago, he s having a harder time waiting for it than I am, LOL!
We love our U-shaped couch, but it blocks the big bed. The smaller bed is TOTALLY blocked by the dinette and table. Argh, we ve come to hate that table, constantly in the way of everything! I m tired of not being able to reach for things without having to move or fold down something else first. Cottonwood will always be special to us, but boy, are we ready to move on!
Now, who said camping is " supposed to be difficult" ? [;)]
BTW, run, don t walk, from the suspicious salesman. The dealership here in Ventura has been absolutely wonderful with us. You ll know when you re treated right. Good luck! [:)]

Yeah, it does on this 17-foot hybrid too, but I ve got to look at the advantages compared to a side dinette on a hybrid this size (e.g. Bantam 817B), particularly the fact that there is much more seating space and all the seats would face the direction of the TV for the times when that is necessary. There are a couple other nice things about the u-dinette that I think I could tolerate climbing over it. But I hear you, because one reason we bought our Tracker was so we wouldn t have to climb over anything to get into/out of bed. In the popup, it s a good idea, because we don t always set up the awning (actually, very rarely), so I wouldn t want to leave it outside. In that case, climbing into and out of the front bunk would really suck (the Starcraft Venture had the front u-dinette and we were considering that one). But in the hybrid, the additional seating space, combined with the fact that with a real awning, we would set the awning up every time and put the table outside, that it wouldn t get in the way during the day. Of course we would have to climb over it when children are sleeping there, but I could deal with it for the advantages gained.
Hey! you turned my words around![;)][8D]. I said camping isn t supposed to be *easy*, not that it was supposed to be *difficult*. The truth lies somewhere in between! [;)][;)][8D] Right?????[&:][&:][:D] What happens for me (and this is from my experience traveling around the West for our honeymoon in my parents triple slide 5th-wheel) is that when it becomes *too* easy, for me it becomes RVing and not camping. I didn t like RVing that much (though it was great for the honeymoon), but I do like camping. I think this hybrid is the perfect compromise....but then again I thought the popup was the perfect compromise.[&:][8D]

Yeah, it does on this 17-foot hybrid too, but I ve got to look at the advantages compared to a side dinette on a hybrid this size (e.g. Bantam 817B), particularly the fact that there is much more seating space and all the seats would face the direction of the TV for the times when that is necessary. There are a couple other nice things about the u-dinette that I think I could tolerate climbing over it. But I hear you, because one reason we bought our Tracker was so we wouldn t have to climb over anything to get into/out of bed. In the popup, it s a good idea, because we don t always set up the awning (actually, very rarely), so I wouldn t want to leave it outside. In that case, climbing into and out of the front bunk would really suck (the Starcraft Venture had the front u-dinette and we were considering that one). But in the hybrid, the additional seating space, combined with the fact that with a real awning, we would set the awning up every time and put the table outside, that it wouldn t get in the way during the day. Of course we would have to climb over it when children are sleeping there, but I could deal with it for the advantages gained.
QuoteNow, who said camping is " supposed to be difficult" ?
Hey! you turned my words around![;)][8D]. I said camping isn t supposed to be *easy*, not that it was supposed to be *difficult*. The truth lies somewhere in between! [;)][;)][8D] Right?????[&:][&:][:D] What happens for me (and this is from my experience traveling around the West for our honeymoon in my parents triple slide 5th-wheel) is that when it becomes *too* easy, for me it becomes RVing and not camping. I didn t like RVing that much (though it was great for the honeymoon), but I do like camping. I think this hybrid is the perfect compromise....but then again I thought the popup was the perfect compromise.[&:][8D]

Yes, I realized the misquote after I hit the OK button, but lack the Sacto editing gene. [;)]
Also realized after my first -- and only -- experience of dry camping, that I m an RVer, not a camper. Mike is getting more mellow in his old age too, and is happy to RV. When the need for canvas hits, he and Rebec will take their tent and go. They are already planning an overnight at Cachuma, right by the lake, and perhaps also Big Sur. They bought a big tent just this past weekend!
See you in your new hybrid at Gold Rush. [;)][8D]

You mean you ll see me " dreaming" of a new hybrid at Gold Rush! Actually, you will see me in my trusty 1999 Tracker Trailstar 12SC. And remember to get a REAL good look at it because you will probably never see one again!
But on the bright side, Mrs. Sacto said if we win the lottery I can get any hybrid I want. So I guess I ll need to start playing the lottery.

oldmooseJeff,
I read on another thread that you use 10lb barbell weights to hold the awning poles. As you know, we re going to the beach this weekend where it can get breezy. I was wondering how the barbells keep the poles from lifting up out of a breeze(?). I may end up staking it down for this trip. Normally I just let the tension pole hold it up, but it can get windy on the beach.

Oh she does, and she likes her conveniences (heat turned to 70 degrees, shower and cassette potty, hot water) and would like it easier too. But then again, the convenience advantages of a hybrid over a popup are lost on her, cause I pretty much do all the setup, filling the freshwater tank, emptying grey water tanks, batteries, propane, cassette potty, etc. We would also have to pay for storage....unless we found a Bantam garage model. She just doesn t think we can afford it right now....and she s right. Other than that, I think she really likes it. Once the second kid rolls around, I think she ll be more receptive.
When we had our F-150, our dream was a popup cabover camper and ski-boat. Then it was a little 5th wheel with small slideout. Now it s a hybrid. We tend to go all over the map. The only thing we ve acted on is the popup.

If you own your home, could you refinance (or get a home equity loan) and get a killer deal with today s skyrocketing house prices and plummeting interest rates? That s what we did. Somehow, through the mysterious world of financing (of which I know nothing), we re able to enlarge Rebec s room to accommodate both girls AND get this new trailer while maintaining the same monthly payments we ve always had. :::shrugging::: Glad Mike understands all of this, because I sure don t.

We re getting a HELOC right now....for our photovoltaic solar electricity system. It s a variable with fixed-rate option. That s a really nice and flexible loan. Thing is, I ve always preached to Mrs. Sacto about not incurring debt, and now she s holding me to my word[:@][&:][: (]! It s just a quirk I have. For home improvements, long-term payments are worthwhile, but for depreciating assets (like cars and RVs), I m extremely hesitant to do so. By working in a hybrid into a 30-year loan, that means I would be paying for that thing for 30 years, even after we sell it, which explains my hesitancy. I have to be able to visualize paying off the vehicle in a reasonable amount of time rather than focusing on the low payments. We also need to add onto our house in the near future (we have 1250 sq ft), so I think that s where our priorities lie. I also can t refinance the house without a huge penalty. That s what I get for thinking interest rates bottomed out a year ago. [:@][: (]. Great, now I m talking myself out of it! But good things come to those who wait........I guess. If Mrs. Sacto didn t shop so much at Target we might be able to afford one.....[&:]. But we have a good life so I m not *really* complaining....just dreaming!

It s probably because she DOES shop at Target instead of places with outlandish prices that you can afford anything at all, LOL! See, it works like this:
Wife: Look at how much I saved with all these sale prices!
Husband (groaning): How much did these savings cost me?
ROFL! Yes, it s all a matter of taking a good, hard look at all the numbers and balance the needs vs. wants. 1250 sq. ft. is a mansion compared to our 840 sq. ft., believe it or not. The room enlargement is desparately needed.

Yeah right. That s what Mrs. Sacto keeps telling me [:@]. The biggest problem with Mrs. Sacto only working part-time is that when she gets bored, she goes to Target. When she goes to Target, the budget s in trouble. [: (][;)]. So if you can tell me when the female genetic mutation occurred that inspires women to go shopping when they are bored, please forward it to me. Otherwise I must treat it as a character flaw [;)].
Wow, 840. That is small. IYour new trailer has 1/4 the square footage! (27 * 8). I can sympathize. We re fine with our house right now, which is why the home addition will have to wait a few years. There s something homey about a small home. The transition from a larger home to a smaller home wasn t that difficult. That s why I laugh when I hear stories like the one from my sister in-law. She works with a woman who is moving out of a 3600 sq ft. house and building one over 5000 sq ft because she says hers is too small! But there is something to be said about being able to vacuum your entire house from one outlet!
I ve also become very creative with storage ideas. The garage is like my Mona Lisa. I was able to get our washer and dryer, two workbenches, three plastic storage shelf units, one of those white particle board storage cabinets, another shelving unit, a cheap dresser, another bedstand dresser, water softener, the popup, and the minivan all in our two car garage. We have to fold in the mirrors of our minivan and scoot across the passenger seat, but it s worth it! I keep trying to find ways to squeeze a little more storage space out of it, but I have no more tricks up my sleeve.

I look at hybrids/travel trailers/motorhomes and think the same thing in a sort of envious way, but this weekend, the motorhome next to us proved otherwise. My DH and I sat there in our camp chairs, drinking our beers, and watched the owner spend about two hours trying to level his motorhome. He finally had to pull out a drill and take off the rear stabilizers, readjust them and then put them back on. Suddenly, the simplicity of our pop up looked pretty good.[;)]

In some ways I agree. It would take us quite a while to set up 34 the triple-slide 5th wheel. Partly because the slideouts were kinda slow, also partly because it took longer to get situated into a campsite. Manueverability was reduced and we had to make sure we were close enough to the hookups but also had clearance for the slideouts. Leveling for us was about the same as with the popup.
I bet overall, hybrid setup takes a little less time since I wouldn t have to set up the door or greywater system. Hot water would automatic. But most important, packing would be so much easier because it would go directly into the hybrid and the sequence of events would not be so critical. I can t tell you how many times I ve closed the top without emptying the freshwater tank, which I can only do from the inside. So here are the things on which I would save time with a hybrid:
1.) No raising the roof
2.) No lowering the roof (the real time delay)
3.) Beds. I imagine they re easier to tip out then pull out.
4.) No grey water system set up. Internal tanks.
5.) Real awning takes less time.
6.) No transfer of clothes and food from tow vehicle to popup. All of this would be pre-packed in the hybrid prior to departure.
7.) No setting up the door
8.) No setting up the stove.
Here are some things that would take longer with a hybrid:
1.) Retrieving the trailer from storage and bringing to the house (It also, however, takes me several minutes to maneuver the popup in the garage by hand to ready it for hitching).
2.) Waiting in line at some campgrounds to empty tanks can be a substantial delay.
3.) Backing into a site may take longer due to reduced visibility.
4.) Lining up tow vehicle to hitch since presumably the tongue cannot be moved by hand.
If anybody wants to contribute to the " help buy Sactocampers a 17-foot hybrid" fund, contact me and I will give you my paypal account name. All donations are tax deductible.
Don t get me wrong, I ve got it good and I love the popup (even if I did just discover it s only 10 !), I just want it better. If I never get a hybrid, popup camping still suits me fine.

SactoCampersBrian -
First off, here is the link to Gregg s (Yor123) awning weight site;
http://community.webshots.com/album/41386171WPFnZc
Here is the latest thread asking about them from a month ago on PUX;
http://www.coastexplorer.com/popupexplorer/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2007
If you want Gregg s e-mail address, just let me know. He s a great guy and wouldn t mind at all getting a note from you for his shopping list.
They work so well! I am extermely happy with this set-up. Now I m just waiting for the first tear in the awning so I can justify a Carefree awning and screen room, lol.
Just had a thought; Ouch! Anyway, do you think the lower Coleman awning poles are anything like the lower Tracker awning poles (with the metal push button tabs)? My thought is that I could leave you our lower poles and the weights and you could swing by Friday and pick them up on your way to the coast. I won t need them again until the Gold Country rally since Amy won t be with us in Fort Bragg and I won t be setting up the awning then.
Hybrid -
We have gone over this again and again just like you and Mrs. Sacto., but aleways come back to the simplicity of the PU. We really got lucky and actually picked the perfect PU for us the first time. The Utah was made for our family and I now have it outfitted just the way we like it.
Set-up and down is a breeze (I highly reccomend you get a drill).
Storage isn t even an issue (a Hybrid wouldn t fit through my 10 high warehouse roll-up door even w/o a/c)
WE LOVE THE CANVAS tent feeling (but also love the screen room, hot H2O, fridge, toilet, heater, outside shower & tent, king beds, couch, etc...)
When we dry camp in French Meadows (for example) we don t feel like we are cheat-camping too much, but still get to stay clean and warm or cool.
Btw, have you ever sat and watched an RV set-up their screen room or AAR? Takes 3 people and about 25 minutes! I can have ours up (along with the skirt) by myself in under 15 minutes. It was a PITA to figure out the first time (like the Paha Que TeePee tent), but ever since has been a cinch.
I say keep your PU as long as you can and couldn t agree more with not getting a 30 year loan on it.
How about selling it and getting a PU with a slide-out? That is where we feel we " accidently" bought the right PU for us. If we hadn t got one with a slide, we would have already sold it and moved up to a Utah after camping with the group a time or 2.
Target -
Amy also works part time so her favorite off-day place is Target as well. I ll come home and she ll say " I went to Target for some laundry detergent" . And I ll say " Then what is all of the kids clothes, plants, pillows, etc... for?" , lol.
Between Target and Starbucks, she is keeping the economy churning along!
Btw, as you know, we live less than a mile from Spring Lake and Annadel mountain. Spring Lake has a campground which we ride our bikes through about 4 times a week. Of course I always have to look at the PU s. Well all last week there was a Tracker (didn t notice the model) PU set-up (only other one I ve ever seen), but the first evening nobody was around, but the second night I saw someone there so I went to say hi. Anyway, to make my boring story longer, they were not very friendly (but that s alright since I approached them), but what was funny and almost unbelievable was that they said they had been camping in it 7 times in the 3 years they ve owned it and still haven t figured out how to use the fresh water tank, water heater, or hose for the grey water (they just use a bucket directly up against the wall of the PU when using water hook-ups with cold water only! They didn t even know that they had a water pump! Well, they didn t want to talk so I couldn t even give them a few tips or information. Basically, they have a nice PU, but only utilize the mattresses, lol. Maybe all of the mud on me and my bike (as well as my friend) from our ride freaked them out, lol.

We have gone over this again and again just like you and Mrs. Sacto., but aleways come back to the simplicity of the PU. We really got lucky and actually picked the perfect PU for us the first time. The Utah was made for our family and I now have it outfitted just the way we like it.
Set-up and down is a breeze (I highly reccomend you get a drill).
Storage isn t even an issue (a Hybrid wouldn t fit through my 10 high warehouse roll-up door even w/o a/c)
WE LOVE THE CANVAS tent feeling (but also love the screen room, hot H2O, fridge, toilet, heater, outside shower & tent, king beds, couch, etc...)
When we dry camp in French Meadows (for example) we don t feel like we are cheat-camping too much, but still get to stay clean and warm or cool.
Btw, have you ever sat and watched an RV set-up their screen room or AAR? Takes 3 people and about 25 minutes! I can have ours up (along with the skirt) by myself in under 15 minutes. It was a PITA to figure out the first time (like the Paha Que TeePee tent), but ever since has been a cinch.
I say keep your PU as long as you can and couldn t agree more with not getting a 30 year loan on it.
How about selling it and getting a PU with a slide-out? That is where we feel we " accidently" bought the right PU for us. If we hadn t got one with a slide, we would have already sold it and moved up to a Utah after camping with the group a time or 2.
Target -
Amy also works part time so her favorite off-day place is Target as well. I ll come home and she ll say " I went to Target for some laundry detergent" . And I ll say " Then what is all of the kids clothes, plants, pillows, etc... for?" , lol.
Between Target and Starbucks, she is keeping the economy churning along!
Btw, as you know, we live less than a mile from Spring Lake and Annadel mountain. Spring Lake has a campground which we ride our bikes through about 4 times a week. Of course I always have to look at the PU s. Well all last week there was a Tracker (didn t notice the model) PU set-up (only other one I ve ever seen), but the first evening nobody was around, but the second night I saw someone there so I went to say hi. Anyway, to make my boring story longer, they were not very friendly (but that s alright since I approached them), but what was funny and almost unbelievable was that they said they had been camping in it 7 times in the 3 years they ve owned it and still haven t figured out how to use the fresh water tank, water heater, or hose for the grey water (they just use a bucket directly up against the wall of the PU when using water hook-ups with cold water only! They didn t even know that they had a water pump! Well, they didn t want to talk so I couldn t even give them a few tips or information. Basically, they have a nice PU, but only utilize the mattresses, lol. Maybe all of the mud on me and my bike (as well as my friend) from our ride freaked them out, lol.

I was just checking out the latest issue of PUT and on the back cover is your brother s twin! A Hummer pulling a PU. Check it out.
Btw, did your other brother Dave get a Kiwi yet?

Red neff BarchettaJeff, thanks for the links.
And thanks for the offer to borrow the weights, but we won t be able to stop by. We have to get an early start because we want to get one of the beach sites at Wright s Beach. Conceptually, I see how he did it, I didn t know the poles fit right into 3/4" PVC. I just so happen to have some leftover from my new and improved grey water drainage system! If I have some extra time, that will be the next project! This weekend, we ll just stake em down if necessary.
Cranking up isn t the problem. Remember, I m a non-Coleman owner. My lift only takes around 33 not 250 cranks to be fully upright [8D][;)]. It s the cranking down, and going around pushing in the tent material that adds time.
I like it too, that s why I liked this 17-foot hybrid. Still felt like a tent. Though with the hard sides, we would probably head over to Doran Park much more frequently. Mrs. Sacto likes Doran Park because of the gentle beach, but hates the wind. I forgot she mentioned that. I think I should play up that angle a little more [;)]. Ducted heating and a little insulation doesn t hurt either.....
Have you ever seen ME set up my screen room? NO, it s still in the box unused because my awning takes forever to set up. It s the *awning* I was talking about, not the screen room or AAR [;)]. I want an easier AWNING. RV awnings are much easier [:D]. I m too cheap to buy a Carefree, but I suppose that would be cheaper than a hybrid [;)][;)].
Yeah, in fact I was hoping this dealer was going to have one on display since it s one of the few light enough for me to tow. My hybrid fantasy might not have a hold of me if I were in a slideout. But all my complaints about setting up and breaking down are still valid....though a front storage trunk would make things a little easier. Only problem is Palomino doesn t allow WDH on their popups, yet people look to them because of lower capacity tow vehicles that could benefit from WDH. Also, now that I realize I only have a 10 popup, I m not sure I could get the Mustang SC-SL in my garage. It might be too long....Then again, the cost would make it close to a hybrid(?).
Funny story. I m surprised there s another Tracker out there. I ve never seen one. LOL about putting the bucket right up against the body of the trailer. That s classic. What, they didn t notice the threads on the drain?
No, I think it was just you.........................[;)] Just kidding. That s a little rabble rouse, there.
Jeff, I can always count on you to see the virtues of my 10-foot popup. I m almost in Surfcal s half-a-popup category.

Forgot to tell you to have a great time this w/e!!!! I m glad you guys are finally getting out again. I m sorry we won t be around to come bother you, but will be having fun with another NNC er (& spouse) for part of the w/e. Good luck getting a prime site, but Wright s Beach is so nice that any site is fine.
Also forgot to comment on the salesman. LOL!!!! He went into his sales speech before he even knew what you were interested in doing. I agree, a portable office is not a good sign. 3 of the salespeople at our dealer don t even like to camp and the owner hasn t had a vacation in 10 years! Makes you wonder what the heck they know about PU s and Caravan s?!
Btw nice rouse, except a good comedian should never have to point out his/her jokes. Gotcha!

When we first seriously looked at trailers, pop-ups, etc., we saw the Palaminos before we saw the Caravans.....one of the biggest reasons I couldn t bring myself to seriously consider buying one was the cheesy salesman!! He had such a used car dealer way about him [>:] Of course, we ended up buying the Caravan for other reasons too, and have no regrets about it, but I doubt I would have bought that Palamino even if I loved it because I couldn t get happy about giving that guy any of my hard earned $$$.

No bun in the oven yet (we think). But timing is getting just about right. Hopefully sometime this summer. [:D] Sactotoddler is ready to be a big sister. She carries her little baby doll around, hugs it, gives it kisses, feeds it water, and pushes it around in her little toy stroller.

Too funny. I wish there was another dealer around. The Sac dealer really gives Palominos a bad name. He doesn t even equip them with any options. No decor package, no hot water, no water pump (and thus the no rise faucet). I don t even know if he equipped them with a heater. He also didn t keep the interiors very clean. The Palominos didn t look very appealing the way he had them set up. In contrast, my trusty Tracker (Palomino twin) has nice faux brass trim, all the options I mentioned, and nice faux hardwood lineoleum, which is really good at disguising dirt and footprints.....even if my dealer was a crook.

I simply must put my foot down against such blasphemy. That is NOT a true big sister! A big sister cannot stand when the little one gets anything, no matter how small. The big one will whine, pester the smaller one, treat her like her own toy/possession, provoke her, make her scream, teach her bad habits, etc. but never do the things the uninformed Griffsmom claims. (I know this for a fact, as both of these creatures live in our house!)
Now then, Mr. & Mrs. Sacto, after reading these posts, are you sure you want another one? [;)][8D][:D]

SactoCampersYes, it is too bad that Sactotoddler is a little girl. If she were a boy, she would be a big brother. All of your problems would be solved then. As the big brother of the family, I can tell you that there is no better creation on God s Earth than a big brother. A big brother recognizes his role as " the protector" of his younger siblings. Much like the alpha-gorilla in the troupe, the big brother is always on guard for any encroaching enemy. His kin admire him and adore his role in the family circle. And intelligent--it s a well proven fact that all big brothers are the most intelligent of all children. Have you ever wondered why the first born male is always chosen as KING? It s because of his reverence as THE BIG BROTHER.
Ah yes--two bad Sactotoddler wasn t born a boy. The experienced mom s pretty well spelled out the role of the OLDER SISTER.
gsm x2, the Big Brother in the family with ONE older sister.

Our daughter was first born and has been a great older sibling to her brothers. As kids there were the spats of course , but as adults (which they are for most of thier lives) she is a source of strenth to her brothers.

I must admit, my big brother (14 years older than me) was definitely my body guard and I worshipped the ground he walked on. He used to babysit me and takeme with him everywhere he went. He took me to my first movie (Jungle Book). He d even take me on dates with him! My sister (18 years older than me) was more like another mother when I was little--you know, always bossing me around. [: (] Now that we re both adults, though, we re very close.
Actually, that s an urban legend. The most intelligent child is the baby of the family.
That s easy; because they don t want to waste the intellect of the baby, and the big brother is the most easily expendable. [;)]

Sorry, Lori, it will be " play at your own risk" [:D]. Well my dearest Matthew did do this to our pastor. Pastor was bending over to talk to Matt and what does Matt do. He raises is arm and starts making farting noises with his mouth. I just wanted to crawl under a rock. I was so embarassed. Of course it is now a funny game so he does it all day long. I just walk away and shake my head. Where did I go wrong??[&:]

And as far as bad habits go, how do you cure a 2 year old from trying to imitate an arm-pit fart?? Now when ever I scold him he arm-pit farts me. FRUSTRATION!!!

Jacqui, if Matthew teaches arm-pit farting to Griffin, I ll never forgive you. I mean it! (although I did ROTFLMHO when I read your post!!!) [:D] I can just see Griffin at preschool, or worse, in front of our pastor, waving his little chicken wing trying to make a fart sound! [&:]

otterHappy camping Mike & Michelle!! Maybe you ll get an unlevel site so you can finally use the Bal the way it was meant to be used, ha. That was classic at Olema. I think you had the most level site and no real need for levelers of any kind.
But you did bring plenty of your home-made brew, which is all that really matters.

An arm pit fart??? How do you do that? I ll have to have Matt teach me how. Nothing ingrains an idea like teaching someone how to do it. It will help Matt s self-esteem SO MUCH to be able to teach an adult how to armpit fart. Then I can teach it to Griffin.
Oh, I would have made such a great father. [:)]

So, what do you think is most unflattering... being the " older" sister or the " big" sister? Just wondering..... [8D]
QuoteORIGINAL: SactoCampers
QuoteActually, that s an urban legend. The most intelligent child is the baby of the family.
quote:
Have you ever wondered why the first born male is always chosen as KING?
That s easy; because they don t want to waste the intellect of the baby, and the big brother is the most easily expendable.
So says the BABY of the family, with a Big Brother and an Older Sister.
Right on Lori [:)]. (Says another baby of the family)

I can only give you a second hand opinion as I am the baby with one of those older brothers who thought (and thinks) he is somehow empowered by birth status to be one of the last remaining dinosaurs.... BUT, our daughter is the first born , followed by 2 sons.
She prefers to be addressed: Gretchen the Great or Angel-sister or Oh Wise One>>>>> First borns do have their crosses to bare.
When I taught I would divide the class into thier birth positions (oldest, youngest, a middle child) and then present problems for them to opine upon. It was truly hysterical. Just watching them interact was a treat. Birth position does have some meaning, especially at a young age. I think it dissapates some over the years for most of us.

Armpit farts are cool. I did them all the time when I was a kid. But the world of fake farting noises extends so much beyond mere armpit fart noises. So I ll have to teach Matt all the tricks of the trade at the Gold Rush Rally. See, he needs to add a few to his repertoire. There s the mash both hands into your face and blow really hard fart, there s the slobber all over your forearm and blow hard fart, then there s the real crowd pleaser.....the slobber all over your upper arm and blow really hard fart. That one will really get under mom s skin. Since those require a lot of backpressure, Matt may not have enough lung strength to really belt those ones out, but give him time. Of course, one of the more benign faux fart noises is the " put your hand on the back of your knee and bend your leg" fart. That one is a little more advanced and requires skill but doesn t yield the decibel levels of the first three. It is, however, quite a sight to observe. I just don t think girls understand this kind of thing though. [;)][8D]

And then, once he has the faux fart down pat, the rest of us *adult* males can tutor him in the finer points of burping: The chirp, the growl, the oohgah horn, the belly burp, and (from Revenge of the Nerds) " The Booger" . These are all " vocal" burps, as opposed to that silent but deadly Ninja Burp- the " burp and blow" technique, where you quietly burp and exhale it towards an unwary person seated nearby.
For the record-- this is something that is usually handed down from brother to brother through the generations. For millennia, Big Brothers have faithfully handed down these secret male rituals to their younger siblings. Occasionally, a cherished Uncle or other family relative will invigorate the training with their own techniques, but mainly it s handed down straight through the family line.
And you ladies thought Big Brothers weren t good for anything. [;)]

We re leaving Saturday AM. You think I m going to fight Memorial Day Friday P.M. traffic through Napa and Sonoma Valleys? I don t THINK so! [;)]
I can give you a bilge pump report now. It works great, it pumps a large amount of water volume with each pump, it s clean (water doesn t get all over the place), and it s effortless (pump requires almost no effort) not much else to say. What specifically do you want to know? [:)] You can also ask CWB. He borrowed it at the Bodega Dunes rally.
I m hoping the Wright s Beach staff will let me dump my grey water in the bathrooms like they did last time, but you never know. Otherwise I ll have to take it down to Bodega Dunes.

These contests only showed up at our house during boy sleep overs; (one reason such activities became banned at the age of 10). Many other silliness showed up when it was girls sleep over night, but not farting/rasberry contests. And too think rasberries USED TO BE my favorite fruit!

otterHi all,
sorry I was away all week, and am only now getting a chance to catch up on all the posts.
I started a new job on monday, and had to fly down to Palm Springs for some training & a conference.
Apart from the 107 degree weather, I had a great time.
If I didn t have 40 stiches in my back I could have even played some golf, or gone swimming in the pool, so I had to be content on sipping Mai Tai s in the bar.
I am really excited about this job.
It looks like it is just what I ve always wanted,
so thanks to everyone for the prayers

Well, we had a great extended w/e in Monterey swimming, eating, drinking, shopping, watching sunsets, exploring, and learning. Amy found all 3 Starbucks in the Monterey area so all was well, lol. On the drive home today we all agreed that one of the highest highlights was meeting up with Dianne and Lon Saturday afternoon and going to the aquarium together. You guys are terrific to drive down to see us! Amy can t believe how much science knowledge Lon has in his brain and she is looking forward to some more chats with him. Also, our oldest is really looking forward to seeing you 2 again in just 11 days. Thanks again for making time out for us. Looking forward to spending quite a bit more time with you in the next month.
Traffic was non-existent today (11:00 - 2:00) and we really made good time coming home. Saw quite a few PU s on the road. Even saw 1 crazy newbie (had to be a rookie) pulling a 12 Coleman PU with a 6 cylinder Toyota truck! Slow and seriously swaying. If he doesn t get stopped soon he will be burning up his transmission before long. That is, if his luck holds out before he hurts someone or himself.

6QuigsWow!. What a weekend. We too were busy going here and there and having fun all weekend! Didn t get to the computer tillkust now.
Kevin: Ouch! and double Ouch! I know you have the very best advice, BUT... being a cancer survivor myself I get to " preach" . Check and double check all you can re: follow up treatment. Cut and slash (as we call it) isn t always enough. Some melanomas are particularly aggressive. I am redoubling my good thought going your way, same as Ray is and we may even have to take up the prayer thing again. What ya say Ray? Willin to give it shot for a good cause? *smile*
Monterey and spending time with Jeff, Amy, Austen and Justen was indeed a kick. And we even found the " Hairy Otter" t-shirts!. Talk about good luck charms. You guys are terrific. We are looking forward to picking up where we left off at Fort Bragg. Amy, get those test made out so you can come.
I m glad you got home ok. I left Santa Cruz at 5 and crawled over the hill with Annabelle sound a sleep and our 31/2 year old grandson trying to hold a conversation with Grandma. Once we got over the hill it was fine though.
Our only regret was that we did not get up to Raoring Camp to see CWB. We talked about it, but it just didn t woprk out. Next year maybe we can make it a NNC rally.
Welcome home everyone: hope your wekeend was terrific.
OH! as far as this thread goes, it is the only one going. I like it. The PUT site seems to be running slowly in general; probably a function of having to $$$. We have few newbies and guests and the threads require being knowing the people posting for the most part.
Besides all that, I cough a lot (alot) as anyone who has ever camped next to me can attest to.
R&R everyone

I think our Palm Springs trip was a great reminder of how lucky we are to be campers. Every day last week while staying in that hotel I couldn t wait to get home. Every time I go camping I can t wait to go camping again. We will be camping in Yosemite starting Friday for four days and then counting down the days to the Gold Rush!!! We are really looking forward to seeing everyone.
QuoteI started a new job on monday, and had to fly down to Palm Springs for some training & a conference.It s a small world after all. Ralph and I spent last Tuesday through Friday in Palm Springs. Apart from the 107 degree weather, switching off two small children with each other so we could attend our mandatory training sessions, poor reception on the TV - Sorry to admit we didn t have a great time. If only we knew there was a bar in town where we could have shared a mai tai or two with Kevin.
Apart from the 107 degree weather, I had a great time.
If I didn t have 40 stiches in my back I could have even played some golf, or gone swimming in the pool, so I had to be content on sipping Mai Tai s in the bar.

Your weekend sounds fabulous, Dianne. I too had a good one even tho TOS had to work all three days. I hung out with girlfriends, went shopping, lots of eating and walking, planted flowers and went to the movies. We saw " Down With Love" which was really silly and fun. Then Scott and I celebrated Memorial Day by taking a leisurely stroll in the Harbor and having dinner at The Greek. The best part was finding out I definitely qualify as a belly dancer!!! [:D]

otterJeff and Dianne-- where did your families stay? We spent a weekend camping at Montery last year, and on the reccommendation of one of our PUT members, camped at Veteren s Memorial Park. Wow, what a neat place to camp! A fairly nice (dry) campground, with a HUGE grassy play area and swings for the kids, three minutes away from Cannery Row and the Aquarium, and only $18 a night! Sure beats the heck out of three hundred a night for a nice hotel.
Plus, you get to listen to the military acadamy (or whatever it is) nearby play a very moving rendition of Taps every night at 10 PM. The natural echos of the trumpet moving through the fog at night created a haunting sound I will never forget.

6QuigsWe had a fantastic weekend at Wright s Beach! This time we got a site darn near close to the beach. The " beach" sites were just across the road from us, so we could at least see the ocean from our site. We left Saturday morning because we didn t want to deal with Friday traffic. Stayed two nights. No traffic on the way there or back. Weather was overcast but really nice. Not windy at all (BIG plus!). Sactotoddler loved playing at the beach. Actually, she like looking at the cows through the car window on the way up just as much. After getting set up early Saturday afternoon, we walked the whole 50 yards to the beach and sat on the warm sand. I played with the dog to get him tuckered out. Wasn t too cold Saturday night. We brought our down comforter and that really kept in the heat! Didn t run the furnace at all. Sunday we put Sactotoddler in the backpack and took a hike on what we thougt was a trail, but it sure didn t seem like it. Took a little trail back down to the beach and walked back. Then had lunch and went back out to the beach for a few hours. I took a shower in the popup ([:)]) and then we had dinner. It was colder at night since the fog had burned off so we had to turn the furnace on a little bit, but we had plenty of battery power. Didn t use that much. But I did have to fill the freshwater tank twice and empty both grey water tanks and the shower greay water tank twice! My new little grey water collection system worked great, everybody kept staring at it, (I ve got some pictures I ll post on my website tomorrow) especially a camper with a Starcraft who was collecting his grey water in a 5 gallon bucket as it just poured out the side. No garden hose, nothing. There were about a handful of popups at this campground which was nice to see. Anyway, this was one of our best outings and we look forward to going back again. Breaking down camp went amazingly smooth since I decided not to rush it. I just took a leisurely time and I ended up having everything done earlier than I had planned.
A couple of mishaps though:
1.) Stupid popup trick: I was maneuvering the popup in the garage so I could hitch up. I pushed the back right into my workbench and crunched the taillight. Fortunately camping world was open on Monday on the way back! [;)]
2.) One of my popup bunk end supports bent this weekend. Okay, get your mind out of the gutter, it was the back bunk and the support didn t break, but the part that inserts into the bumper bent and made that end collapse. I think I may have only had the tip inserted into the bumper and not the entire part, so I m hoping that was it. Kinda spooked us because Sactotoddler was getting a diaper change when it happened. Anyway, I will order a new one tomorrow.
3.) I put dielectric grease on my seven-way connector (both popup and tow vehicle) last week. Then, of course, I go to the beach and proceed to drop the connector right in the sand. Sand in every single receptacle of the connector [:@][: (].
So, that s how our weekend went. We had a great time.
Over and out.

SactoCampersBrian -
My mind is the gutter. So how far did you 2 get before bending the bunk-end support pole? Apparently there was an earthquake here last night (biggest since 69 (no pun intended, lol)), but I guess you were busy making your own.
Glad you had a great w/e! Dropping the connector in the sand and clogging it up sounds like a Jeff move.
Clueless -
Glad you made the best of the heat. Have fun in Yosemite!
Dave -
We were at the Butterfly Grove Inn in Pacific Grove and Dianne & Lon came down from their home in Santa Cruz. Btw, we give the Inn a " 9" . Very nice! We are ready to camp though.

Congratulations are in order to Gregory Scott Miller, thus GSM (X2 comes from Georgeanne S. Miller). Tomorrow, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, or Miller goes to Sacramento to recieve a prestigious award. Earlier this year, he was named as the Officer of the Year by the California Department of Boating and Waterways for the State of California.
In Sacramento Thursday, May 29th. there is an awards ceremony at the state capital and I wanted to let the NNC and SCC membership to know and wish a warm congratulations and bring recognition to one of our own.

Has anyone ever camped in BLM camprounds along the American River?

Since you asked, this award came from the California Department of Boating and Waterways. Their commission is meeting in Sacramento on Thursday. Here are the details.
BOATING AND WATERWAYS COMMISSION MEETING
Hilton Sacramento Arden West
2000 Harvard Street
Sacramento, California
May 29, 2003
Somewhere around here or work I have the agenda---it didn t make the on-line agenda. http://dbw.ca.gov/bwcmMay.htm But somewhere after the closed session, the Director, Ray Tsuneyoshi will give me the award. Ray s a really nice man and a great Department Head who is more than just a figurehead type guy. Like when he comes down to attend the California Boating Safety Officers Association meetings, he stays all three days....unheard of in the " drop in for a half hour" type political schedules.
It s kind of a lifetime achievement award for a lot of years of work as a Board Member at [link]http://www.cbsoa.org[/link] (some SCC members may recognize the WebSite Style) and long-time editor of the newsletter. Also got to teach the Basic Boating Safety Enforcement Course for about nine years and helped the Ventura Harbor Patrol teach about eleven years of " Rescue Boat Handling" , a course that is one of the HIGHEST RATED P.O.S.T. classes ever. I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with a Department that supported me....but all modesty aside....I really did work hard for a lot of years so appreciate the recognition.
SurfCal--see what you started!!!! Thanks,
Scott

We almost took 117 but we were in 77 just above you. With 2 very active kids being between 2 roads isn t the first choice.
Which one s along the River? Up past Kyburz?

Civil_War_BuffWent to a movie this evening (early) with my 9 year-old. We saw " Holes" . What a great story! If you haven t seen this movie yet and you have an 8 - 13 year-old, I highly recommend it.

Civil_War_BuffHave fun on your big day tomorrow Scott!
When you head back through the bay area turn your fm dial to either 99.7 (oldies), 98.1 (R & B), 107.7 (classic rock), or 104.5 (mild rock). Guaranteed good sing-along tunes!
Btw, if you are driving in that reception range at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, turn to 104.5 and you ll hear a classic bay area tradition dating back at least 15 years (that I know of). They (KFOG) play a reggae tune called " I smoked 2 joints" to get your w/e going. Not that I would know about such things of course.
Of course if you re anywhere near downtown San Francisco at 5:00 on Friday, then you ll feel just like you are at home on the Los Angeles freeway s as you are churning out exhaust and going nowhere. That s because Ray and his cycling cronies bombard S.F. streets at 5:00 on the last Friday of the month in a mass hysteria move known as " Critical Mass" .

Civil_War_BuffHey all -
Y-Guy and TeacherMom need our help.
We need to explain to the nice people in Washington and Oregon (even though they hate Californian s for moving up there, ha) what terrific people have moved into their area and they should join them for a camping trip.
Poor Steve has been putting out " feeler s" with no luck. I hear crickets chirping and he s standing on the stage all alone with the heat of the spotlight bearing down on him.

Scott is more of a Neil Diamond fan though, so I figured he would fit me for cement shoes and throw me in a CA waterway somewhere if I had him put Metallica on his radio, lol.
Btw, are your trailer repairs all done?

Red neff BarchettaGuess we better not lead Scott into the dark world of real music. But I will leave it to you to explain the WOW from KSJO and now the TATA Tuesdays over on 107.7.[:o]
Trailer is half way done- floor was done (stiffer plywood and new lino) and they replaced the WRONG canvas bunkend, the new one is there for install when the countertop comes in. It has been so long for the counter, I would rather just forget that repair and just get the water purifier replaced and be done with it.
We went up to Olema a few weeks ago, everything worked great and I am heading out to the local County Lake(?)/Campground to spend some days with my parents. My little Hybrid next to their monster 5th wheel-someday the Terry will grow up to be a big Prowler with slides and popouts!!!!!
Speaking of floors, if I have followed the posts right, you do flooring??? If so, let me know as we will be embarking on some remodeling soon, not sure how far your territory is.

So funny that you mentioned that. I rented a car to make this trip. When I went to put in my Neil Diamond CD, I discovered that some previous driver had left a " self-burned CD" in there. I decided to listen to it. Very bad quality with lots of scratches on the CD and a lot of raggae music that all had the same notes at the start of every song. I believe one of the songs in the CD was " Smoked Two Joints" if it has the words, " then I smoked two joints" sung a lot.
BTW--my desire was to roll down the passenger side window and see what a CD looks like sailing out of a car at 75 MPH. But being a cyclist and naturalist, I instead I flicked the CD into the back seat.
Oh, and BTW---although the company will pay for the gas, I sure liked going 386 miles on 12.6 gallons of gas.

If I had a flooring business, I personally couldn t have a statement like that on my site, because if I treated your home like mine, it d have bike tracks on the floor and we certainly wouldn t be working on the floor because we d be smoking two joints.
And oh, I am going to crank up your stereo to play reggae. Plus, I am going to have the munchies, so I guess I ll help myself to the refrigerator. And then, I am going to take a nap in the master bedroom.
Ya mon, I like that, treat your home like it is ours. Peace mon.

Way to go Scott!
QuoteAn Officer and a Gentleman:
Richard Gere might have starred in the blockbuster movie An Officer and A Gentleman, but to know someone in real life with those qualities is an extraordinary thing. Richard Gere, I know Scott Miller and Scott Miller is a friend of mine. You re no Scott Miller.
Congratulations are in order to Gregory Scott Miller, thus GSM (X2 comes from Georgeanne S. Miller). Tomorrow, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, or Miller goes to Sacramento to recieve a prestigious award. Earlier this year, he was named as the Officer of the Year by the California Department of Boating and Waterways for the State of California.
In Sacramento Thursday, May 29th. there is an awards ceremony at the state capital and I wanted to let the NNC and SCC membership to know and wish a warm congratulations and bring recognition to one of our own.
We re not worthy.

Since the schedule indicated it was continuing into the afternoon, I just darted over to the Hilton to try and catch Scott around lunchtime. But according to one of the few that were still in the Zinfandel Room (I think it might have been Ray Tsuneyoshi, but not entirely sure), Scott had already left [:(]. Anyway, congrats again and sorry I missed you! I was kinda hoping for a big hug [8D].

QuoteCongratulations Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give us more details. Are you being flown up to Sacto.? Who is presenting the award? Give us more! Give us more!
Way to go!
Jeff,
Since you asked, this award came from the California Department of Boating and Waterways. Their commission is meeting in Sacramento on Thursday. Here are the details.
BOATING AND WATERWAYS COMMISSION MEETING
Hilton Sacramento Arden West
2000 Harvard Street
Sacramento, California
May 29, 2003
Somewhere around here or work I have the agenda---it didn t make the on-line agenda. http://dbw.ca.gov/bwcmMay.htm But somewhere after the closed session, the Director, Ray Tsuneyoshi will give me the award. Ray s a really nice man and a great Department Head who is more than just a figurehead type guy. Like when he comes down to attend the California Boating Safety Officers Association meetings, he stays all three days....unheard of in the " drop in for a half hour" type political schedules.
It s kind of a lifetime achievement award for a lot of years of work as a Board Member at [link]http://www.cbsoa.org[/link] (some SCC members may recognize the WebSite Style) and long-time editor of the newsletter. Also got to teach the Basic Boating Safety Enforcement Course for about nine years and helped the Ventura Harbor Patrol teach about eleven years of " Rescue Boat Handling" , a course that is one of the HIGHEST RATED P.O.S.T. classes ever. I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time with a Department that supported me....but all modesty aside....I really did work hard for a lot of years so appreciate the recognition.
SurfCal--see what you started!!!! Thanks,
Scott

Scott looked good in his " dress-up clothes" ?
So Scott wore his NNC sweatshirt and thong then?
Ray - Good rabble rousing between Jon & Mike! Grab yourself an extra beer for that one.
Btw, I know a contractor who had an employee that stayed in a customer of his home while the customer was away. Needless to say the employee was fired as soon as the contractor figured it out. That is precisely why I am home when I have work done at my own house, lol!
Brian - Thanks for the comments on the site (I think, ha). I ll take credit for the text, but the site was created by the wife of one of my employee s.
I was actually about to commission our very own Nick, but she had a JC computer class project and asked if she could create the site. Overall, I m very happy with the results and she got an A in the class (along with some side money).

I was actually about to commission our very own Nick, but she had a JC computer class project and asked if she could create the site. Overall, I m very happy with the results and she got an A in the class (along with some side money).

Actually, I was referring to the flooring in the pictures, not the website itself. The website looks good too, though it s no NNC website [;)][;)][8D]. Just kidding! What you need on the site are customer testimonials with pictures of them and their new floors. That s always a good thing to have on your website.

I like your site. Nice work!
Great cg reviews too.
You gotta get going on those mod s though, ha.
We were at the aquarium last Saturday (arrived around 2:00) with Otter/Dianne & Lon. Sounds like you were on your way home then though.
Btw, we sure were glad that all of us are members of the aquarium. The line for non-members was insane! I ve never seen it as long as it was on Saturday and Monday when we went this time. They really treat you well if you re a member with the side entrance and store discounts.

Jon:
Upon review of your site, I must say that I am impressed by your camping resume. However, pursuant to the bylaws of the Organization of Nick-Neff-Cough, your experience lacks exposure to the following terrain:
- Desert
- Tropical
- Great Plains
- Monuments
- The Tundra
I realize that you have extensively camped either along the coast and in the mountains, but this only displays your skill in a very narrow field. Therefore, I must recommend to the commission that your eligibility to NNC be placed under a probationary period and that your full membership be subject to further review in a year pending your completion of the above requirements.

Holly--thanks so much for stopping by. I should have had someone take our picture because so people can see that we own more than shorts and jeans. Besides very very few people actually see me in dress up clothes. I found an extra tie in my jacket pocket. Must have been from our neice s wedding in Michigan in November.
Sacto--thanks for stopping by. Sorry I missed you, but the room was very crowded so after the award got out of the building ASAP.

SurfcalThanks for the kind comments on the site.
Depending how far I m allowed to go back. Let s check off the desert. Lovelock Nevada with scouts and explorer post. And does camping along the side of the river running through Needles count?
Tropical let s see .... closest to camping is the Coconut Grove Resort on Kuai and long strolls on the beach with DW on Maui. But no PU. They don t fit in the overhead[;)].
Besides coming from a camping/backpacking family, I traveled the country doing installations and training for my company. For about 7 years, I was on the road for 7-8 months a year. I have yet to be in Wisconson, Michigan, South Carolina, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Alaska. Otherwise I have hit the rest of the states, British Columbia, Ontario and New Brunswick, Canada and Tokyo, Japan. Obviously all this was pre-marriage & pre-kids except Japan.

Of course if you re anywhere near downtown San Francisco at 5:00 on Friday, then you ll feel just like you are at home on the Los Angeles freeway s as you are churning out exhaust and going nowhere. That s because Ray and his cycling cronies bombard S.F. streets at 5:00 on the last Friday of the month in a mass hysteria move known as " Critical Mass" .

In case you ve not been there, this is the waterfall in question.

Which of these lines will likely Kill a Thread?
a. rub the dog s........
b. Thought I d mention it since it s a fabric n craft store, so who d ever think to look there for camping lights? Enjoy!
c. Yep--G. I was just pulling your leg there for a bit.
d. See ya when I see ya.
e. All of the above
The correct answer is e., but most people who got the question wrong choose a. because it s just so obvious.

I was in the middle of the pack man. You know, sometimes we all are hypocritical. Like I own a pickup truck from the mid-80 s and that s a big time gas guzzler. (Although I only use it for camping and towing).
I actually commute to work on my bike everyday. And it s cool to have bike lanes. Critical Mass is an advocacy for more bike lanes in the city. There are huge gaps in the system and our aim is to have them connect the dots.
The part I don t like about Critical Mass is that, like in any advocacy group, there are the extremists and the militant asses, and they all throw in their pet causes or get out of hand. They give any movement a bad name. And along the way, the mission is diluted and even villified. But, whacha gunna do with a bunch of rebels and misfits. It actually began in 1992 with a huge bike messenger following. The idea and event have become mainstream, at least by San Francisco standards.

Yeah, it really is a bummer that a few bad seeds have to be in every group. No matter how small a percentage they play in the group they almost always make the headlines.
That is why I try not to make a fuss about being a plant eater. It is my choice and the minority, so it s my responsibility to deal with. Angry vegetarians embarass and tick me off when they start attacking meat eater s. Besides, like me, most vegetarian s spent their first 25 years eating meat so I never understand why they have a problem sitting next to someone who is eating a steak or whatever.
Hey, I even eat gnats and whatever as I m flying down a hill on my bike. Better than when they go in your nose, lol. Now what really hurts is a dragonfly in the face at 25-30 mph, ha!
As far as the killing goes, no problem here. I had to help kill a very large dog last year with my hands, feet, sticks, and rocks that was attacking a friend. I understand the human instinct and adrenaline rush of that part of us much more now. It was scary, exhilirating, emotional, and exciting all in one.

Dude, I have a Dell. Did you know that spokesperson got busted for buying pot? And they made a huge deal out of it.
Anyway, I have a Dell with a fairly speedy Celeron. What I like about mine, which is about 8 months old, is the USB connection. USB is the bomb, just plug & play. It comes with 4 USB ports and I got one of those multiplier boxes. It also comes with a Read/Write CD-Rom and the now archaic floppy drive. Most computers have pretty competent sound cards that if you put a nice speaker system, you can really draw good quality music from your computer.
All in all, nothing special and in fact very standard, but my first computer was a 286 and I went from that to every reincarnation of the Intel chip through today. Next year, who knows...?
But I think that the next mutation of computers is headed into the direction of fully integrated entertainment series which includes DVD, surround-sound sound cards, crisp LCD Monitors and HDTV compatible software along with TIVO-like capability.
The world of computers is like a journey, you never really get there, once in a while, you pause at a rest stop with a certain model.
All that Scott just because you mentioned you got a computer. I m just a chatty little fella.

Just got back today from 2 days camping in a tent, with DD & Indian Princesses.
Had a great time. Camped at Manresa State Beach, and weather was wonderful.
Everyone had a great time, looking forward to camping in the popup in 2 weeks time, as we re off for a week at Seacliff!!

gsm x2There was a giant Peace sign when we were there. I imagine if you had a Zodiac you could come in from seaward.
Sorry for the delay we just got back from Wolf Creek CG on Union Valley Reservoir. Nice place only about 1/3 full. It sits on the west side of the lake so there is a great view of the sierras.
Got to try out the new electric motor for the canoe. It was hard to paddle and troll for fish at the same time. Works great but didn t ant fishing time to speak of.

Red neff BarchettaActually the lake was very full and there is still snow on them thar hills so it was even prettier than the pictures in the link. There are so rocks that stick up out of the water about 100 yards out from shore that the kids loved going to and walking in the middle of the lake.
They are building a bike trail that will link all the campgrounds. At this point it only goes as far as Yellowjacket but the route is marked out to Wolf creek. Once it is done the kids should really like riding. This time the bikes got put by a tree and there they stayed.

QuoteAnd if a place can be really nice on Memorial Day Weekend, it must be really nice.It was great, and we really kind of lucked out for the Memorial Day weekend. As Campinggeek mentioned, they re building a bike trail, so they stopped taking reservations for Memorial Day nearly a year ago, just in case it was under construction, so they wouldn t have to deal with the mess. Lucky for me, my friend made the reservations on the first day you could, which was just a few months before they stopped taking them! We got there Friday evening, and the place was nearly EMPTY!! It did fill up, but even full it was nice. Plenty of space between sites. No hookups at all, but we had recently changed our battery setup so it was no problem to make it through the trip without even firing up the generator.

A friend of mine and I took his full size Bronco and my Bronco II in once, if it is the place I am thinking of. It looks like the water was really flowing. It is a georgeous spot.

Dave deservedly anointed her an honorary member so we re pretty lucky to have her. We have a few honorary members, we just haven t documented them so we don t know who they all are. They need to remind us every now and then.
Kelly s a fellow Palomino owner and we ve been talking back and forth by e-mail regarding grills and stoves for our popups, so we have a " connection." BTW, I m hoping to get the Coleman Grill/Stove for Father s day. I showed it to Mrs. Sacto at Camping World last weekend.

Welcome from a not yet an official member of NCC. There are some really nice folks here and hold onto your belly, fasten your seatbelt (Ask Red about a mod for computer desk chairs, he probably has one[;)]) and keep the tissues handy when they get going....otherwise you end up on the floor unable to see from laughing so much.
I was up in Roseville MN about 9 years back. Beautiful place and incredible people. It was January and the high temp on my 7 day visit was 22 degrees.

She just sewed on her Chief Master rank which was cool ceremony back in January. But being in the high desert in June, 95+ degrees with the ever-present wind, is not my idea of a good time.
We are looking at time off for the Lucky at the Lake rally.

Civil_War_BuffSpeaking of brew. I just picked up the supplies to make a Light (as in color) Ale. Heavy on the hops and alcohol. Should be nice on a hot day. Should be ready to go for the rally in a few weeks.
By the way, I talked to the beer guy about my last batch and the effect it had on some of us. He said it is quite common for unaged beer and is due to the B2 vitamin that is in the spent yeast suspended in the beer. Got to try some of his homemade brandy too[:)] Good stuff.

Welcome to Nick-Neff-Cough, home of the happy camper. Yes, it is indeed nice to have you join us.
They are nice people with nice friendly postings. They begin to make you into a believer of group camping. People help each other out, assist in getting your pop-ups set up, share food, imbibe in various assortments of mind altering concoctions, sing modern chants, and particpate in tribal dancing in celebration of their association.
Good luck Kelly!

Welcome to Nick-Neff-Cough, home of the happy camper. Yes, it is indeed nice to have you have to join us.
Pssst. Listen closely and carefully. Leave now while you can. NNC is a cult. First they begin by convincing you they are nice people. Sure, but the next thing you know, they overtake your life.
It begins innocently enough with nice friendly postings, and then soon, it becomes an obsession to check the boards to see what everyone else is doing. Then, they begin to make you into a believer of group camping, where everyone ritualistically gets together in the form of rallies. And therein is where the process of brainwashing really occurs.
People help each other out, assist in getting your pop-ups set up, share food, imbibe in various assortments of mind altering concoctions, sing modern chants, and particpate in tribal dancing in celebration of their association. And these people do it over and over again. Once you are in, there is no getting out!
So I warn you, get out while you can. Heed this advice, because I am in the inside and there s no getting out. And these people watch my every move. By this time tomorrow, you won t even see a trace of this message, it ll be edited by the authorities, maybe banished to another rally and you, yes you will become another victim of the NNC cult.
Good luck and run Kelly run!

Ab DiverThanks for the invite ab Diver but we were at Big Sur for a week, then at Union Valley so we re going to take care of things here at home.
Cherries and apricots are in season so that means jam time for me. My peach trees need some serious supporting. I have about 2 yards of compost to spread and then do some chipping and refill the bins.
I actually left the trailer out so maybe I can squeeze in a couple mods.
The kids are asking to go back to MacKerricker. I would love to go diving with you. I ve done my ab diving around Catalina/Channel Islands with tanks. Free diving would be a new experience. The 5 hour run up is a little hard on the 6 and 5 year olds for a weekend.

When we visited Arches, we picked up a handy driving guide at the Ranger Station. It was nice because we were able to drive to each place and then get out of the car for a little hike. I think this would work great with children. Balanced Rock and Delicate Arch were my favorites (along with some of the great phallic symbols), but it is all beautiful and there is no way you will see it all.
Of course, this is an excellent time for education (my kids thank me now that they have their own children!!) and the Arches National Park site has lots of info if you haven t already checked it out. Especially for children is this easy to understand link:
http://www.nps.gov/arch/student/index.htm
The night sky fascinates me and I m sorry we weren t in the park at night. They most likely have a nighttime " tour" . Check here for any Heavenly activity taking place during your stay:
http://comets.amsmeteors.org/
This totally makes me miss having my kids along on a vacation and that s why I m so excited about Gold Rush since my daughter, her husband and their two boys are joining us (all the way from Michigan!!)
Hope I haven t bored you. Here, have a strawberry blintz along with some Champagne and OJ. Camping breakfasts aren t what they used to be. [:D]

6QuigsHey neff,
You know how I say that I m too darn lazy to set up the bunk end covers while I m trying to popup the popup? And how I say that because I don t follow the directions I end up trying to shove only the corners of the covers between the roof and tent because I can t reach and it gets all bunched up at the middle and looks cheezy? Well, while I was at Wright s Beach I solved the problem.
See, we brought this little beach umbrella with us this time. I noticed it stores in it s own little bag and comes in two pieces, one of which is a pole with a pointy little end on it so you can shove it in the sand. Well, as usual, I was too lazy to setup the bunk end covers but saw this pole and thought to myself, I bet if I stand on one of our chairs or cooler I can shove the covers right up and in between the tent and roof with the pole. Sure enough it works. Only catch is I have to temporarily disengage the shepherd s pole. No big deal, though.
See, sometimes I m rewarded for being really lazy.
So get yourself a beach umbrella kit. It has more uses than one.

6QuigsBrian -
Very nice use of the umbrella! Although, I can top it my friend.
Here s my post from March;
Here s another post of mine from last month if that one is confusing;
This works perfectly Brian! I am very happy with it and it is all I m going to do with the SBEC s. Bring some velcro (both sides) with you to Gold Rush and we can knock it out in about 10 minutes when you arrive. If you like it, you can then sew the velcro on the covers when you get home.
Scott/SCCS and Ray witnessed the first raising of the roof with this mod. at Snug Harbor and I think Scott is going to do it to his shiny new SBEC s.
Although I do raise my beer (carefully so as not to spill any) to you for the umbrella use.
Very nice use of the umbrella! Although, I can top it my friend.
Here s my post from March;
QuoteI used velcro and affixed it to the solar covers and then put the velcro mate on the underside of the roof. When at the cg, I will then crank up the roof about a foot and install the 3 solar covers (I have a slide-out). Then I will finish raising the roof and after the shepherds poles are in place on the beds and slide, I ll just have to clamp down the three open sides of each cover.
I used 4" pieces of velcro and used 4 pieces for each cover. The velcro on the underside of the roof I affixed to a plastic track that is located right where the canvas is attatched to the roof. The velcro on the covers is affixed mostly on the hem with a little bit stuck to the cover material itself. If I make this a more permanent mod., I will then sew the velcro to the covers through the hem of the covers. Also, if I decide to keep this mod. and the velcro starts to seperate from the plastic on the roof, I will affix new 4" velcro pieces with contact cement as well. They are pretty steady at the moment. Finally, I would also affix velcro to the opposite side of the covers so the covers would work in this fashion when reversed and you want to keep the heat in the PU.
Btw, there is still plenty of solar cover material hanging over the 3 open ends of the bunk for the clamps to hold on to.
Here s another post of mine from last month if that one is confusing;
QuoteSandy -
The velcro is my idea (I think, ha). It works perfectly and just like I planned for it to work.
Its only purpose is to be able to raise the roof with the SBEC s in place so all you have to do once the shepherd s poles are in place is to clamp the 3 remaining open sides.
In a nutshell, I stuck one side of the velcro to the plastic piece/strip that is under the lip of the ABS roof where the canvas meets the underside of the roof. I then stuck the other side of the velcro on the fabric that is around the top perimeter of the solar covers. My DW then re-enforced the velcro on the solar covers by sewing them also.
When popping-up, we raise the roof about 12" and then stop and attach the solar covers (we have 3 with the slide-out) to the roof and then finish raising the roof.
We then happily watch as the solar covers go up with the roof. Gone are the days of trying to get the solar covers under the lip of the roof after set-up and then try and pinch them in there with the shepherd s poles.
Last note;
We also put the velcro on the reverse side of the solar covers for when it is cold outside (January & February for us) and we want to keep the heat in the PU.
This works perfectly Brian! I am very happy with it and it is all I m going to do with the SBEC s. Bring some velcro (both sides) with you to Gold Rush and we can knock it out in about 10 minutes when you arrive. If you like it, you can then sew the velcro on the covers when you get home.

We are really not a cult, ususally; but there are some things about the group that you might need to ask a friendly/grandmotherly/understanding/ type. Just ask away and I will try to keep you up to date. We are presently all from the Left Coast (although you can t tell that by the way some people act or rather re-act), so tree hugging and the like are high on our list of after dinner activities. I m sure we can find something in common besides sitting around the campfire drinking beer. hmmm not baseball, not Prince, not surfing.......
How about Zoom...or wine tasitng........Bailey s........ dogs?
Hey is this campfire build in the log cabin fashion or the teepee wa? Where is the fire-guy anyway? Oh? he s awy fromt he campfire? Quick everyone, check your coolers, grills and b-bQ s: nothing is safe!!!!!!!

" Well, yes that would work, but have you seen my indoor shower mod.?" , ha.
He s an amazing PU guru, but really pushes his shower mod. a bit too much. It s pretty funny to watch him and Chuck S get tangled up. They do it on almost every thread that they both post in, lol.
Anyway Brian, I m sure your umbrella mod. is excellent and I for one think you should continue using it. I wasn t trying to top yours per say, but simply show you something that works for me.
My mod s. are strictly designed to speed up setting-up camp and not worry about things until pop-down.

Is that seat next to you taken? I ll see you in person in less than 48 hrs.!

Red neff BarchettaNeff,
You re missing out on the lazy part. See, I don t want to partially popup my roof and bunk ends then put the solar covers on, because the solar covers are stored in the popup where I can t get them. When I pull into the campsite, I wanna get that thing popped up ASAP and worry about the solar covers later, if at all.
My system allows me to be lazy. Your system you have to think and remember, and that requires you to think and remember.

[8D] I do feel for him with his whole roof issue, though. Would like to see something positive come of it so Coleman owners can camp without worrying about roof replacement. That s quite a shipping cost.
Sure, whatever. Just try and show me up and then say " oh sorry, didn t mean to show you up!" [8D][;)] That s like me rabble rousing Nick s orange sweatshirt.

Well, if you bring a remote control boat, I may bring some to share, but only if you bring a remote control boat. Did you say something about a remote control boat?

I like Nick s orange sweatshirt too, that s how I can find him in the group photos. It s the official NNC sweatshirt. I m worried though that he won t bring it to Gold Rush, since it might be too hot.
BTW, did I tell you that we drove through Casini Ranch again while we were at the coast? Man was it CROWDED! But it seems like an ideal rally location if you ask me.

Ha! That s just what I was thinking about my NNC thong, er, ah, wait, no, no, I mean my Gold Rush rally sweatshirt with the blurry miner on the back. It s sitting in my closet and will probably stay there since it should be pretty toasty in Plymouth.

#2 - Brian, the " Wagonmaster" is scheduled to leave a day early on Sunday! That s against the NNC rules I believe. How are we supposed to close down the rally in proper style Monday morning if the wagonmaster isn t there? You need to stay until the end Brian!! There are quite a few of us loyalists who are staying, so what s up with that Mr. Man?! Tell you what, I m not breaking out the remote control boat until Sunday afternoon, so there!

If I have to pack diapers for more than three nights, we ll never be able to fit anything else into the minivan [8D]...like my extra garden hose, portable mister ($8.00 at Home Depot, I recommend you get one in case it s hot), and turtle sprinkler for Sactotoddler.
I m actually going Thursday morning to set up, and then going back to pick up Mrs. Sacto and Sactotoddler. Undecided whether we will come up Thursday night or Friday morning since our next door neighbors are throwing a neighborhood barbeque party for the folks that are buying their house. So in early July, we will have new next door neighbors.
We may pay for Sunday night and stay during the day, but just not stay that night. DW doesn t have many vacation days and I m already taking off Thursday. I can t use up all my vacation days for this one rally. I ve got other rallies to go to!

I believe that one for sure, but he s way down in site 235. Besides, he s an RC addict like me. I ll just distract him with the RC boat and he ll look the other way.
I m gonna move him over next to me for protection. And that little attack chihuahua will be snoozing right next to my door.

That timing sounds just about right. Though it will definitely be a mini-convoy as I don t see anybody else coming up on Thursday taking that route. But you can cruise behind me listening to my sand pads bang away on every bump.
There s a new park-n-ride on the north side of I-80 at the Mace Blvd exit. That would be a good place to meet. But you gotta be on time. If I wanted to be late, I would bring Mrs. Sacto with me.

Brian -
When are you leaving Davis Thursday morning?
Maybe we could have a mini-convoy of our own?
I am hoping to be going through Davis around 10:00.

Dianne, I think they just started stocking them for the summer months.
I tested mine out yesterday and it works good. Sacto and Sactotoddler went to HD on Friday and I let her pick out the color.
It s a floor standing unit. Just connect up the garden hose to it. Buy yourself a Y-hose coupler and bring an extra hose and you re all set.

SurfCarDealer: How dare you get rid of the ultimate Nick-Neff-Coughmobile! Just think of all the extraneous, over-the-top, ultimately unnecessary stuff we could drag from rally to rally in that thing: The Grill, Nick s Keg, 300 lbs. of oysters, a bushel of kazoos, several raccoon traps, lots of firewood, a walk-in fridge for Nick s Keg and *other* refreshments, an abalone aqua-farm, a sound stage for Ray and his guitar, a dozen kayaks, a tri-tip marinating bin and a hydroponic corn field for neff s corn... the list goes on and on. Please, think before you act!

Actually, if he kept the Wondertruck, he could store his half-a-pop-up in it! [;)] Seeing as how he has a tendancy to show up to pop-up rallies without pulling a pop-up trailer, this could eliminate a lot of confusion.
Go ahead, you can say it... you just wanna race the truck, don t you? [:D]

SactoCampersHello all from the SoCal contingent.
We had simultaneous mini-rallies. Thanks for the toast AbDiver...you are very thoughtful. In a week we will have a maxi-rally where at least half a dozen SCCampers (or least north NNC members will be.)
So I thought this would be an appropos time and place to mention that we are already planning the 2nd Annual Christmas at Cachuma Rally. It s billed as the SCC and NNC Cchristmas at Ccacchuma Rally at this thread. http://www.popuptimes.com/members/tm.asp?m=31063&p=1&tmode=1
Officially it will be from December 26 - 29th at Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara County. Distance-wise it favors SCCampers a bit, but last year SammySlave, Otter, and Surfcal made the trip down to meet OCCampers (soon to be Sacramento-area based) and Cottonwooder in the first ever Joint Rally.
Also check out [link]http://www.sccampers.org[/link] and click on the future rallies icon for more information.
Never to early to plan a rally I say. Hmm, June 6 to December 6 = ~184 days, plus 20. Two Hundred and Four Days to go. It will be here before we know it.

You re right Dave. I actually don t want to get rid of the truck. When I got laid off, I took all my severance pay, bought that truck on a wild gamble and actually built a company that centered on the services that truck provided. Despite the fact that that truck was the underspinning of our company, it s one of the services we ve discontinued. A hard way of making a living, grip & lighting is.
And sadly, now that the company is run by accountants and lawyers, they ve proceeded to weed out some of our overheads, and the truck is one of them. But, it s the reason I hired them.
Sigh.

Well Larry, we are collectively bummed for you. Sometimes, those things happen and they re actually a blessing in disguise, so, I am sure that the NNCers here can help me come up with an ala David Letterman Top Ten reasons why? So ladies and gentleman, let s put a smile on this man s face:

This, of course, irritates Slash to no end, and DLR s attitude stinks. He says he ll kick Slash s skinny little a**. This goes on for a few minutes, with lots of words being bleeped out on the radio. Finally, they get into a huge fight, lots of breaking furniture sounds, and then somebody gets thrown out the door. You re left wondering if DLR s legendary martial arts training kicked Slash completely into the next world. Then you hear the phone dialing, and you re wondering who DLR is calling. Guess what? It s Slash, saying " Sammy?..... Slash. D you know the words to Welcome to the Jungle ? " Guess DLR wasn t so tough after all. [;)]
Just about the funniest skit I ve ever heard on the radio. I wonder if there s a way to look it up on the net?

SactoCampersHello fellow NNC members:
I just checked out the Website and boy, Sacto has doing a great job of maintaining and updating the site. It is one of the best for camping groups out there. And from this past rally, he has been able to procure some pictures to add to the membership page. A couple of things, if you don t have a picture there, please send one to Sacto. Second, if you don t like your current picture, send in another one.
So many of us use the site address as part of our signature on PUT and I am sure that brings a lot of traffic through our site. And for those that don t, it ll be cool to use it, especially for those who post on other sites such as IRV2, PUX, Yahoo Groups, Google and a bunch of other ones out there. It ll help promote NNC, or at least bring eyeballs to all the hard work that s gone into the site. Ultimately, let s hope it brings goodwill for PUT to help sustain in for the future.
Lastly, I d like to nominate a couple of reoccuring items that I think we should include as part of our " official" lineup...they are:
Official Seafood: Abalone
Official Meat: Tri-tip
Favorite Gadget: BAL Leveler
Special Recognition: Scott Miller (The official title of his award)
Additionally, I d like to pitch to include an articled I wrote for PUT that has not been published yet to be included. This will add more content on the site. It s about the California State Parks and very NNC.
Well there you go, my appeal to the membership.

SurfcalHey Sacto, I would suggest we put it as a lead in to park reviews. By the way people, where are your reviews. We need to get that page full so we can be the beacon of campground reviews in Northern California. No longer will folks need to go out and purchase a foghorn guide or the one Neff praises. All they have to do is go to NNC, and its free! But its up to us to get the reviews uploaded.
Okay, I m done.

Hey Sacto, I would suggest we put it as a lead in to park reviews. By the way people, where are your reviews.

SurfcalOK Nick, I ll submit reviews for:
- Lake Chabot
- Half Moon Bay
- Samuel P. Taylor
Maybe we should have a set of criteria so it s fairly standardized.
- Hookups availability or Dry
- How easy to get to from a main artery like 101, I-5, etc. (like Ft. Bragg takes a while to get to).
- Convenience for last minute food and camping supplies (how close is town?)
- The activities nearby, scenery, bike rides, wine tasting, museums, etc.
- General privacy of the site (and if you have any preferred site numbers)
Anything else?
Surfcal
P.S. Hey Sacto, why don t you nuke the photo section. I don t think we ll ever be able to keep a photo section up. There s far too many and it chews up a lot of storage. I think the articles would be a better offering. I know that GSM X2 has an article in the queue for PUT on Wagonmastering. And, don t you have one on " defending the mini-van as a tow vehicle?" I know Ab Diver is planning on writing one, I think regarding some safety tips.

No. It s easy to simply post a link to the webshots pages people provide us, which is all that page is (have you looked at it or do you not have the password?). It s actually more work to set up pictures for past-tense rallies than it is to post a webshot link. Since they re links, they don t take up any storage, which isn t an issue for us right now.
We can have both. We ve got your articles up right now. I think once we get several articles, we ll have links to them and a dedicated page for each article.

That s pretty funny. I usually have classic rock on 107.7 The Bone (they play a lot of Joe Satriani & Rush!!) on when listening to music. I am so out of touch with new music now that I wouldn t know 3/4 of the songs on The Fox.
Sammy & DLR did a mini-tour last summer and it was a disaster. DLR thought he should be the headliner and the crowd let him know that he shouldn t be, lol. Sammy tried to tell him that he (DLR) should open the show, but DLR begged him to headline for 3 shows and he was boo ed mightly when the crowd realized that Sammy was done for the night. Sammy said it was one of the biggest mistakes he s made. He was just trying to help DLR out with one final decent payday and DLR messed it up.
Btw, Sammy puts on a fun show if you ever get the chance to see him. Especially at Konocti.

SurfcalWeird Ray Yankovich s spoof of the VH tune, " Where have all the good times gone" got me thinking that the name of the album (and cover) that the song is on would have been perfect as the official Fort Bragg rally album;
" Diver Down" with the universal diving sign on the cover. Can you believe that was 20 + years ago?!!!

Red neff BarchettaCoughers, just so you ll know...
I just talked to robucko. He won t be able to make it to the Gold Rush Rally. One of the dozen or so stainless steel screws in his back is moving. That is why he was in so much pain last weekend at Ft. Bragg. There is a chance the screw could work it s way to his spinal cord, so the doctor has ordered him to bed, and to *stay* there until they can get some more blood work done, and then get him into surgury ASAP. He can t even sit up at his brand new puter right now.
He s feeling pretty low right now, folks. Besides the pain, the mental strain on him is very heavy. If you d like to send him a card, send me an email and I ll send his address to you (and his phone number if you d like). I ll be sure to let you know how things are progressing for him.
Man, what a bummer....

You may find this hard to believe, but I was a bit of a " Red Rocker" in my younger days...as a matter of fact, Sammy Hagar was the first concert I ever went to...it was in about 1981 or so (could I POSSIBLY be THAT old???). I had so much fun, I made sure to go see him every time he came around...which was probably four or five more times before I slowed down on the concert scene. You should have seen me in my red shirt and red leg warmers over the jeans.....VERY 80 s [;)][:o][:D]

Like, I bet you even had your hair feathered huh? Fer sure! Gag me. I remember going to the midnight movie to see Heavy Metal and Warrior s. My friend s and I would walk home at 3:30 in the morning thinking we were tough guys after watching Warrior s, lol. And why did my parents let me do that?!!! Crazy stuff.
I really think you would enjoy a Sammy show at Konocti. He even plays 3 or 4 Montrose (Rock Candy, Bad Motor Scooter, Space Station #5, etc...) songs. Last year he even played Trans Am and Plain Jane.

I didn t want to post this in the Fix-It forum in the newbie s thread asking about a drill for fear that I would confuse him;
Since you don t have a/c or a bike rack on your roof, you could get away with an 18 volt drill to raise your s. Just make sure it has metal gears so you re not buying one every 6 trips or so. The drill I m currently using (and used on your PU last w/e) is an 18 volt one (with only 340 lbs. of torque) that I got for free. It s doing great after 4 trips and 4 other raising s in my shop as well as raising yours last w/e. Just make sure it has a 1/2" chuck or you ll have to do a mod. to your Socket Jenie like I did to work with my 3/8" chuck. Remember, I don t have a/c, but I do have 4 bike racks up there. So if it works on mine, it will have no problems lifting yours.
Glad you ve seen the light and decided to turn your Bayside/Utah into a Monterey for a fraction of the cost of the 03 1/2 price difference, ha. There is no need to do all that damn cranking I say.

Red neff BarchettaDon t you hate leaving the PU with ANYBODY ELSE.
I woke up this morning at 5:30 so I could go pick up the PU and drop both the TV & PU off at the tire & brake place for a check-up, rotate, & replacement (if needed). With 6 trips planned for this summer (7 if we include the " Get Lucky" rally in Sept.) I figured this week was a good time to get everything checked.
Anyway, I sure hate having to be so anal and make the guy write down things on the service tag such as; " Don t pull out of the driveway straight on or the rear bumper and stabilizer s will scrape" . I ve used these guys for about 15 years now and the guy behind the counter is terrific, but he won t be the one doing the work, test drive, etc... Also, I hate having to strip the TV & PU of things that might disappear (by accident or otherwise) such as the PU spare tire vinyl cover, battery, etc... If you don t remove those things though, you might be sorry when you pick it up at the end of the day.
Oh well, I ll just be glad when I have them both back this evening with tires & brakes that have recently been checked/replaced.
Just had to vent about what a PITA stuff like this is. I m tired and now I have to go to work, ha.

Well, the way I figure it, if you re gunna be a bear, be a grizzly. I was thinking of a cordless hammer-drill powered by a solar-charged 32 volt system, about 300 FOOT/pounds of torque, and made of the same titanium blend the Navy builds submarines from. Then I could use it to change the tires on my truck as well.
If it s worth doing, it s worth over-doing![;)]
Talking about tools with more power makes a guy feel all warm and fuzzy, don t it? Hehehehehehe.....

I like all that tool & tough talk. You guys should do a routine like Tim Allen. What we really need at a rally is a woodshop/machine shop site and we can have tutorials and sessions on ma-dee-fee-kay-shuns & techniques, like:
- how to pop it up at a moment s notice
- tongues and slide-outs
- sway bars & alcohol
- wet baths while dry camping
- got any spare (tires or) chains?
- roof sag: it s not what it s all cranked up to be
- get humping on bed modifications
- turn your drill into a blender
- add-a-room (AAR) for the in-laws
- to mod or not to mod, that is the " quest" ion
and finally,
- the Zen of Pop-Up Maintenance

I like all that tool & tough talk. You guys should do a routine like Tim Allen. What we really need at a rally is a woodshop/machine shop site and we can have tutorials and sessions on ma-dee-fee-kay-shuns & techniques, like:
- how to pop it up at a moment s notice
- tongues and slide-outs
- sway bars & alcohol
- wet baths while dry camping
- got any spare (tires or) chains?
- roof sag: it s not what it s all cranked up to be
- get humping on bed modifications
- turn your drill into a blender
- add-a-room (AAR) for the in-laws
- to mod or not to mod, that is the " quest" ion
and finally,
- the Zen of Pop-Up Maintenance

Hmm, methinks that SurfCal should check his bicycle tires. They must be getting flat from disuse.

gsm x2Angelsmom posted this on another thread, but I just thought it was SOOOO NNC that I had to copy/paste it over here.
Life as Rocks (and Beer)
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the
table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a
very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks,
about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it
was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled
into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it
was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more
if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous " Yes."
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and
proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar - effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
" Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to
recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the
important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children
- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your
life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter -
like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The
small stuff."
" If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued " there is no
room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you
spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have
room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the
things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There
will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party
and fix the disposal.
Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your
priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer
represented. The professor smiled. " I m glad you asked. It just goes to
show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there s always room
for a couple of beers.

And in reality, it gets better than that. If he FILLED the container with beer FIRST, he would have had to drink a lot of it to make room for the rocks. Then he would have had to drink even more to make room for the pebbles. Then a third round to make room for the sand. And after the sand was added, he still would have been able to filter off the LAST TWO BEERS.
So beer first and lots of it.

The Professor and the students could have met a bar and discussed the whole philosophical thing over beers. That would have been the best way to reach his students.
I figure these kids are over 21 years old.

Once again, " No, you cannot see a second again because it is a meaurement of time." You could hear a horn blast for a second; you can see a watch measure off a second; you can feel someone pinch you for a second; you can both taste and smell food to see if you are hungry for seconds. But none of your senses can in fact deal directly with time.
BTW--I remember a story about a Captain in the Air Force who was one of the pioneers in the computer world....she was in fact the first person to discover a bug in a computer...litterally a moth had flown into one of the vacuum tubes and fouled things up.
She would bring in a pieces of fishing line, I believe about 6 feet, and give them to her students to give them a concept of a nanosecond. A nanosecond (ns or nsec) is one billionth (10-9) of a second and is a common measurement of read or write access time to random access memory. Six feet is how far light will travel in a nanosecond.
As a former teacher, I thought you might find that useful, but you still can t hear, see, touch, taste or smell a second, nor a nanosecond for that matter.

The the third string, parched for a beer, then gets himself busily all tangled up and then at the conclusion of this dramatic cortorsion orders a drink.

Anyway, the freash water storage tank is missing along with the pump. I know he can get a pump at Camping World or a lot of different places. I can t seem to find a tank on CW s web site though. Anyone know where to purchase one or know of some other kind of container that could be used?

If you re up for it, we d love to camp with you again! [:D]

In fact, the only other time I ve seen *this* particular brand (picks up one of several different types of beer chilling in the cooler and pops the top) is in my collection back at the " It s a Male Thing" clubhouse. Cool! Now I know that if my collection of rare beers is ever damaged in an earthquake, I can replace them.

Ca-girlMajor announcement!!
The rally has been moved to Eureka and it starts on Tuesday.
Oh wait, that s not it.
Actually, Mrs. Barchetta and her 3 handsome associates conducted some ice cream making tests today. After fruitless hours of rolling, her associates determined that WE SAVED 16 COFFEE CANS FOR NOTHING!!
They did however, enjoy some very cold and tasty flavored milk.
The laboratory is destroyed and I will spare you the gory details, but we will now be making a silly-putty like substance known as " Gack" (See Mrs. Barchetta for polymer details).
The day & time of this activity will remain as scheduled for Saturday, 6/21/03 at precisely 1:00 p.m. at site #220 (he,he). Oh alright, make that site #216.
Sorry parents, your kids will not be making your favorite flavor of ice cream.

Ca-girlOne of the only 10 Coleman PU s ever built with a factory installed cassette toilet & shower is for sale north of us in Oregon. Pretty rare that you see one for sale, especially on the west coast. I have only seen one in person at a cg near Colfax. Pretty cool. Kind of like your Tracker, huh Brian?

Hey, my brother, Dave finally got a PU last night. Its a 69 Starcraft Starmaster. It s in pretty darn good shape for a PU over thirty years old. Anyway, the freash water storage tank is missing along with the pump. I know he can get a pump at Camping World or a lot of different places. I can t seem to find a tank on CW s web site though. Anyone know where to purchase one or know of some other kind of container that could be used?

Otter:
You are sharp even after 57 bottles of beer. In fact 56 & 55 are ZOOM numbers. 56 is a multiple of 7 and 55 is just a natural ZOOM number. So at that point, the rotation should have reversed and you could have gotten two swigs of the beer in one pass.

I will try. And thanks for the invite again. We may head over to Slough house for some early season corn and Plymouth is only about 30 minutes from there.
I got the weekends mixed up. SIL s graduation was last weekend. Edwards was hot, windy and dusty. Took a little under 6 hours to go down travelling from 9pm to 3am but almost 8 to get home Sunday afternoon.
If you see a big red Chevy 1500HD cruise through, holler, or hold up a beer.....just please, not one of the " refills" . I don t recall a Sam Adams Summer Ale on the wall, may I should bring my own.

Red neff BarchettaWell, here it is-- Friday night, the Gold Rush Rally is in full swing, and we are still at home. All our family commitments have been fulfilled (meaning our girls ballet recital is now finished), the truck and trailer are ready to go, and we will be leaving to join our compadres in exactly 6 hours. Are they having fun? You betcha. Do we wish we were there right now? You betcha. Has it been the Week From Hell prior to today? You betcha. So, it s time to put this last week into a back compartment of the mind, and shift into Rally Mode. I hope everybody else who was unable to attend the Rally has a safe and fun weekend. Take care all.
Ok you guys, here I come-- the Lone Cougher is on his way!

Jeff,
You may not have. They were camped just south of us. So let me introduce you to Dennis and Gweneth (it rhymes if you lisp). Quiet readers who kept to themselves unless bothered or there was food and drink. Then what a hoot and a howl. Great senses of humor and Dennis even knows how to rouse the rabble.
Now here s the coolest part.....
They were there at the beginning at Bodega Bay. They just happened to be campig in their popup on the same weekend as us. And since Dennis writes in a journal for all his camping trips, he brought out his book and shared this with me. I hope he doesn t mind that I post it, but he knows that G will put in her book, so I don t think he will.
Notes taken by Dennis Dunbar s Camping Journal. He was at Bodega Bay during our rally.
June 7-9, 2002 Sonora Coast - Bodega Dunes
WEATHER: It sucked. Another windy weekend on the coast. The days were sunny and warm; the nights were cool and the wind died down at night.
ACTIVITIES: The wind was pretty strong so the stay at the beach was cut short.
I reported last trip that there were very few tent trailers in our campground. Things were much different here. We got to the campground at about 2:00 p.m., the official check-in time. I had great hopes of scoring a site in the #37-49 block. But, when we made the first pass, most of those sites were already taken - by tent trailers!! I was very suprised.
After Gwyneth and I took a walk through the campground on Saturday, we noticed that almost all of the tent trailers were sporting a sign that read " Popup Times 2002 Western Rally." Seems we d landed in the middle of a campout of folks who had previously conversed with each other through the internet. Lots of great looking rigs though; it was like being at an RV show. Gwyneth and I have better plans for what we want when we upgrade the trailer.
I think that they will join us again.

Dennis account of the weather at Bodega Dunes pretty much sums it up for almost always. It sucks! And I ve lived in Sonoma county a looonngg time. Go just a few miles North or South of there and you ve got great weather.
Who picked that cg for that rally anyway, lol?! It really is amazing that NNC survived to see another rally after a start like that.

We bought our new furniture Saturday AM (this will be set 4 after the first 3 didn t pass muster) then were planning on coming by but instead went home first. Didn t go anywhere all weekend and the girls exhausted themselevs in the pool both days. Amazing how easy it is to put them to bed when they are falling asleep at the dinner table.
We are headed back up to Union Valley, Wolf Creek cg, this w/e.

Ca-girlWe may be up at Wright s lake that weekend for a picnic and to take care of a family matter. My Mom passed a year ago and we are going to plant a grove of trees there. Both my parents were teachers so we used to camp there for 3-4 weeks every summer when we were kids. Give a little back.

Civil_War_BuffWell, we are all loaded up for the morning (all but the bikes that is).
What a crazy 4 days I just finished up! Turns out it was a good move to leave the rally on Sunday as I salvaged the mess.
Have a great w/e everyone! Talk to you on Monday (except Don, Lianne, Mevin, & Kargret).

Civil_War_BuffHey ya ll. This is what I posted in the Gold Rush Rally thread. I m too lazy to compose another posting and some of you are too lazy to let your fingers walk up to the Gold Rush Rally threads, so here it is. It is in context of the Gold Rush.
Greetings everyone:
I have been out of pocket for about two weeks solid now and this has been one of my rare opportunities to check in. It is so gratifying to hear everyone had so much fun in the vintage spirit of NNC fellowship.
I am also very touched by your sentiments that I was missed. It isn t often that a lost sheep of the herd is regarded with so much awareness and I am truly humbled by your friendship. But I would have gladly traded the humility to have been there.
However, I take much pride and joy the NNC Documentary was received with so much enthusiasm. As a filmmaker/producer in my real life, the greatest goal is to communicate ideas and foster ideals.
As was displayed at the Gold Rush, there was more friendship, comaraderie and common interests displayed amongst all, truly a microcosm of an idealistic society. I suppose that if we had set out to create the kind of community that we all want for ourselves, it would mirror what happens at NNC. It is a suspended reality that comes in delightful monthly bubbles that staves off the rest of the world.
And so, despite the fact that I missed the biggest NNC party of the year, my small contribution was a video feature that celebrates the positive attributes of our cause...to take life lightly and have some fun, to enjoy the merriment with childlike innocence and to internalize the goodwill with lots of food and drinks. It just doesn t get any better than that.
The NNC Documentary is meant to state the obvious, but perhaps more than anything, to serve as a reminder that what we ve achieved is a Utopian quality that just doesn t come around that often in a lifetime. And those thoughts were so eloquently stated by the various members who ve become immortalized on tape. What goes on in a certain filmmaker s head you ask? Well, there you go.
I may have not been physically there, but your collective thoughts gave me a presence on-site beyond what I could have filled if I had been there myself. And as for the video, it is only reflective of what we already are, fun, caring, kind and refeshingly odd. I am pleased to be in your company...in person and in thoughts.
Surfcal
P.S. I will continue to be out of pocket for another week or so. Even though I arrived home last night from being away from home for more than two and half weeks solid, I have to go into a very concentrated period of post-production. But above all, I wanted to thank you for your kind words.

Dianne had her first (and last) HaveyWallbanger thanks to Kevin Q.[8D]
Margaret learned how to heal her heels properly thanks to Amy [;)]
Larry s friend and business associate found out what a quiet group we are NOT! [&:]
Justine and Connor heard the ocean in a shell for the first time[:D]
Austin startled Dianne who screamed loudly and all the kids laughed and laughed[:o]
and one lost dog was found by her owner because none of us were in any condition to drive her to the pound. [:)]
We missed everyone else baking in this heat. It was coooooool on the coast.
Go Giant!

Civil_War_BuffWell, we just got back from a weekend at Olema, and I must say that we find some incredible new sight every time we go there! This time, we took a wrong turn trying to get to Muir Woods, and ended up at the top of Mount Tamalpias....the view the whole way up the mountain was SPECTACULAR! And then Kevin, Megan, and the rest of the people we were camping with went to the tip top by the observation deck (I stayed below with Melissa...she just wasn t quite up to the challenge). Here are some of the pictures if you would like to take a gander at them.

Give them hug for me.
And tell Kevin, I m looking forward to our next spades partnership; bruises and all.[:D][:D]

Civil_War_BuffIncredible!!! That s my word for this w/e. We just finished one of the most terrific w/e s we have had in the PU thanks to 10 people that we did not know a year ago. Amy & I have been " trippin " over the phenomenon known as NNC all afternoon. First Kevin & Margaret invite us to join them at SeaCliff SP literally ON THE BEACH!!!! Open the PU door, hop a small fence, and jump in the Pacific Ocean!! You gotta be kiddin me?! These are sites that take incredible perseverance and tenacity to make reservation s for (which Margaret possesses) and they invited us to have their second site. What an amazing place! Dolphins 30 yds. off shore every few hours. Boogie Boarding, Skim boarding (not me though - too old for that, ha), Body Surfing, lounging, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, drinking, dri... Sleeping to crashing surf, waking to crashing surf, etc...
Even more than that though, is what wonderful people all 6 Quigs are! We just had a great w/e! Our kids wanted to go home with them and theirs with us, ha.
It didn t even matter that my PU plumbing sprung a leak and we could only turn on the water as needed and then have to turn it off again at the spigot each time. Thankfully Kevin was there with an excellent solution and the parts for that solution until I can install corrugated tubing to the sink and outside shower this week. Damn that Coleman for using plastic tubing for the water " pipes" , lol!
Next came Saturday afternoon/night where we spent it with the Otter s and SammySlave s. All I can say is that Lon & Dianne had incredible foresight to purchase that house overlooking the ocean almost 20 years ago! All Larry/SammySlave, and I could do was mutter around to each other about our own stupidity in not having a place of our own like that, ha! Not to mention the beautiful women walking by the picture window, lol. If Margaret, Rita, or Amy read this, Kevin and Larry made me look! Dianne & Lon - What a wonderful place you have! We are very thankful to you for sharing your home and hospitality with us for an evening. Larry & Rita - We are also so fortunate to know you 2 and are so glad you came all the way over the hill to join in the fun. Amy, Margaret, Dianne, & Rita held up the HaHa Sisterhood quite well and the talk started heating up regarding female body area s until I realized they were speaking of Bovines, lol.
What a wonderful night it was. All of the adults were so wonderful to all the kids and vice versa.
I don t know why I m sharing this so much here, but I guess it s because Lon, Larry, Kevin, & I kept chatting about how strange (in a good way!) it is that all of these people have come to know each other and genuinely enjoy one another s company. It is indeed a " trip" .
And I feel that way about NNC in general.
Tania -
I m sorry we missed you being so close to us! Let us know next time you re going to Olema and we ll come bug you. Mt. Tam. is pretty awesome isn t it.
Now back to my regularly scheduled life and a month long camping dry spell.

AB diver-Dave has been very ill since coming home from Plymouth last week. He has what the doctors are now calling Viral meningitis. I have been in touch with Elaine who says he has been in constant pain since Thursday and that just this morning they are putting the meningitis name to his ailment. Dave asked to have this posted in case anyone else is feeling poorly. His doctor says that there have been 6 or 7 cases in thier county recently, so maybe it is centralized there and not in Plymouth. Let s hope so.
Please sendyour prayers and wishes for strength his way.

I just got an update from Mrs. AbDiver, and Dave is feeling a little better tonight. She also wanted me to be sure to tell everyone that their doctor assured her that Dave is NOT contagious, so nobody needs to worry about having caught anything from him at the Gold Rush Rally.

I will be requesting for additional copies of the NNC Documentary this week at work. If you want a copy, or additional copies, please email me and tell me how many you want. It s free so don t be shy. TOS and Neff, I still remember your orders. When you email me, please include your address & phone number for convenience.
I suppose this tape is also good as an introductory piece for new members. If someone wants to volunteer, I will send you extra copies to mail out as new members come on board. This could be a cool program and Brian, it could be mentioned on our Website until we re able to offer it as a downloadable file. Let me know if you re interested in this important role.

GuestHow do you pronounce " Nick-Neff-Cough" ?
I noticed a couple of people on the NNC video say " Nick-ne-Coff" , stressing the " Nick" and hardly touching the " Neff" part. I say all 3 words equally. How do you other Coughers say it?

You got it right Patricia [:)]. It s Nick-Neff-Cough, just like Tic-Tac-Toe, each word pronounced with equal emphasis. You ll notice it was TOS, who was the most egregious offender. But then again, he also was calling the Gold Rush Rally the Gold COAST rally for some unknown reason. I mean, the rally wasn t anywhere near the coast. I see now he has corrected it on the SCCampers website. Now all we need to do is work him a little on the Nick-Neff-Cough part. You d think after attending nearly all the rallies he d have it down. I just think he s bein lazy.
[8D]
BTW, I hope Ab Diver is getting better. Would like to see him check in soon to ease my concerns.

No Patricia, you ve just been subtley brainwashed by Scott. It s not your fault. Keep your chin up. [;)] He tries to play the nice, huggable, teddy-bear kinda guy, but his brainswashing antics are deeper and more demented than anybody could possibly fathom. The brilliance in this kind of rabble rousing is that he s doing it on the subconscious level to the completely unaware. But I caught on. Who knows what direction he ll go next. [:o].
He ll probably respond with an " aw shucks I didn t mean it, it was an honest mistake" kind of response. But we know better now.

Lazy? Hmm, must have the wrong TOS.
Fact is that I really didn t even think of it until Sacto Pointed it out. But in my head I can hear myself saying Nick-Ne-Cough, so I must really be saying it that way. Thank you for pointing that out. I will concentrate on pronouncing it correctly and ask that anyone who catches me with lazy lips, please point it out to me.
As far as Gold Coast/Gold Country. I think it was the California Chamber of Commerce that divided the state into regions a few years ago (however I cannot find those regions listed anywhere on the net). The Ventura Area was part of the Gold Coast Region, so I guess that s stuck in ~Patricia~ and my heads. I only remember a few of the other regions. The Gold Country was one. And I remember that Sacramento was in the Arm Pit Region.
Anyone recall the other ones?

oooooooo, low blow! [;)] No more hugs from you! [;)][8D] Just remember where your food and water come from. Rednek would have you believe it all comes from the midwest, but it comes from our wonderfully hot and polluted central valley (aka armpit region). I don t see any desalinization plants in Ventura either [8D]. And let s see, it seems like you have four good places to camp down there: Lake Casitas, Lake Cachuma, Vail Lakes, and Newport Dunes. Haven t heard of any others [;)][8D]. Four campgrounds for 20 million to share! [8D] Uh oh, I see the gloves are on and the rabble rousing is about to pick up!

It s hard to respond about a city I know nothing about. That s how TOS is now framing the debate (i.e. his water point). He s like Phil Niekro. I could reframe it back to the original NorCal/SoCal debate (which escaped him), but he would probably cry and whine and G-Whiz would have to change his diaper. [8D][8D]
It was nice to see how he dodged the camping point.
Okay, I admit it, I got nothing on Ventura. Especially considering the volumes of stuff that can be written about Sac. But Sacramento can t be all that bad if TOS is willing to drive 300 miles to camp in my armpit.

Ooops, sorry...I think you have us confused with Orange County, which is dismally short of nice camping areas. I didn t respond to the camping situation because we are incredibly blessed a variety of camping areas if I was to draw a 20-mile arc (can t do a circle because there is no popup camping to the southwest of Ventura) from the intersection of 101 and 33.
Off the top of my head:
Heading north
Ventura RV Park, Emma Wood State Beach, Ventura County Park along the roadway, Faria County Park, that little campground off the road, Carpenteria State Beach (all of these campgrounds are on the ocean)
Heading east
Lake Casitas, Wheeler Canyon, Dennison Park, Pine Mountain, Mountain View RV in Santa Paula (I think that s the name--my SBP friend can help me here)
Heading south: La Jolla and Sycamore Canyon State Parks
Just because you haven t heard of a campground, doesn t mean it doesn t exist. I could TOS in another baker s dozen if we made that arc " one hour drive" from here.
Wise move to avoid a City by City fight. I don t think anyone else saw that which I deleted after hearing the " too nice" G-Whiz groan at the four sample points I made. I decided that although I could get an early TKO from SurfRef, he would more than likely DQ me for the four quick blows below the belt and eyeing the SactoEar for an early morning snack.
Sacto---I would drive 300+ miles to camp with any combination of 4 NNC members and 400 miles if Larry and Rita are involved. BTW--are you coming down to the Cchrismast at Ccacchuma Rally in December? I really hope you will. You may have noticed that we brought a 3 and 6 year old to Gold Rush, so the BabySacto card isn t TRUMP like it used to be.

Sacto---I would drive 300+ miles to camp with any combination of 4 NNC members and 400 miles if Larry and Rita are involved. BTW--are you coming down to the Cchrismast at Ccacchuma Rally in December? I really hope you will. You may have noticed that we brought a 3 and 6 year old to Gold Rush, so the BabySacto card isn t TRUMP like it used to be.

They re such great places that all you go to is the four I mentioned.
You re right I shouldn t talk about your polluted beaches.
3 and 6 ain t the same as 2. It works for as long as Sactotoddler will only drive 2 hours. Can t make it to CCachuma for a hug anyway, prior X-mas commitments that week. Besides, wouldn t want to raise your hopes and then have to pull out. Isn t there a phrase for something like that? Oh, yeah, pulling a Surfcal [;)][8D].
QuoteHeading east
Lake Casitas, Wheeler Canyon, Dennison Park, Pine Mountain, Mountain View RV in Santa Paula (I think that s the name--my SBP friend can help me here)
Heading south: La Jolla and Sycamore Canyon State Parks
Just because you haven t heard of a campground, doesn t mean it doesn t exist. I could TOS in another baker s dozen if we made that arc " one hour drive" from here.

CottonwooderOK, you through Orange County out there TOS so I guess I will have to defend its virtue. Yes, we have few campgrounds, yes our beaches are polluted, yes we have too much traffic (oh boy, this isn t looking good is it? Why do we live here again? Oh yeah, a job. [&:][&:] BUT it is only 80 degrees here today and not 100. [:D]
The few CG s we have are beautiful though. San Clement SB, San Onofre/San Mateo SP, Vail Lake and Newport Dunes to name the few. Unfortunately, if you don t have reservations by January or February you might as well camp in your driveway[&:][:(].
I have to admit though if this move gets pulled off, I will look forward to the numerous camping and fishing possibilities the North has to offer.

CottonwooderHi Kelly! Nice to see you here.
If Brian and Scott are done with their hissy fit I d need to ask Scott a question;
One of the cheap stock water lines (hot) to the outside shower broke last w/e and I m going to replace it tomorrow along with the other cold line and the 2 to the sink. What did you use when you replaced your sink water lines? I m thinking about the nylon(?) water lines used for home sinks and dishwashers. I know you re mod. works perfectly (which is what I want) so was wondering what you used. Thanks Scott!
Boy, it seems like everyone around here is busy with stuff. I get to catch my breath for 3 days and then dive back in.
Btw, a tasting room at a winery in Healdsburg we just completed might make it into AAA s magazine called " Via" (I think). I ll keep you posted. Funny thing is that we throw that magazine away the day it arrives (we have AAA for the TV & PU insurance) without even opening it, lol!

Actually you were correct the second time. You shouldn t talk about places you don t know anything about. Our beaches pass their weekly testing consistently except for the two days after it rains. The runoff from the agricultural fields causes elevated bacteria counts until the salt water cleanses itself. I would swim at my beaches over your Delta waters any time.
Guess we know who wears the pants in the family, even if they are diapers.[:D]

Jeff Neff--I used the flexible metal waterlines. I had to remove the sink to do it...Phillips head screwdriver on four corners of the sink. So as long as that was off, I replaced the plastic faucet with a metal one also...watch the height of the facet. Might as well replace the plastic drain too. Replaced that when the plastic nut split.
BTW--I was only able to get three of the screws and little metal braces back on the sink. Hasn t seemed to matter any.
Good luck,
Scott, who is definitely over his hissy fit and moving on to be my helpful and cheerful self.

Interesting site.
After buying an Ozzy album in 1980 +/- my Dad said if I was going to listen to that crap then I had to write a report on Crowley, ha. Learning what I did about that guy was enough for me to take music lyrics in stride. Didn t waiver my love for rock n roll though. I think Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) owns and lives in his old castle now.
Can you imagine that sad pathetic overweight man (Crowley) giving out one final curse to his doctor for not giving him one last hit of heroin, lol. That s classic.
Switching gears;
The plumbing project was a success! That is until I can get the PU home and run some water through all the lines. With my plumbing luck, all the lines are sure to leak, ha.

In our useless, er very important posts, it is not uncommon to witness a seamless transition in consecutive posts from dog shows to say, Nick s beer, or Planet Of The Apes for example.
Speaking of Planet Of The Apes, I was channel surfing last night and came across one of those fine movies playing on AMC. Anyway, one of the Apes started talking about what a trouble maker the head Ape was. Her exact words in describing him were; " rabble rouser" .
And here I thought we owned that term!

And you, Neff buddy, just " pulled a Cottonwooder" ! Speaking of Very Important Posts, Kevin/Quigs and I have a most deep, profound conversation going on in some other thread.
And how did we come to have Head Poster tlhdoc in our midst? Hi there! Now you ve found all the rest of the Top 10 posters who hardly post outside of NNC, LOL! I read that thread a few months ago about how most people assume you were a male, from the " doc" part of your name. Hmm, for me to have read that, I must have ventured beyond NNC at some point.
Welcome, Tracy and Kelly! [:)]
OK, back to work for me. Gotta catch up on this entire week. Ugh!
QuoteAround here, that s called " pulling an Otter" .

I almost made a shelf for the wheel-well cabinet, but now that is where I store my solar covers and drill for easy access to them so a shelf wouldn t work for me there.
Good luck and have fun!

I did, Nick! I think it is actually, IOSO. And if you google it you will find thewebsite of the manufacturer. The nearest distributor is down south somewhere.
I found that it kept working after I stopped scrubbing. I scrubbed until I was sure all the mold was stopped and figured we would just have to live with the stains. The next morning even the stains were gone.
Cootonwooder said they found some stuff at the marine store that worked in that fashion too. I had used something for mold on canvas from the Marine store and was very unsatisfied with it. So find out what she used if you go that route.
I called them to make the order and had it within a week.

otterSpeaking of ATT, we are being illegally screwed over by AT&T, and since it s not worth spending hundreds on an attorney to fight the $170 illegality, we seem to be stuck.
They are charging us $25 roaming charges for 3 cell phone calls we made at Gold Rush Rally. Turns out we were sold a plan that doesn t even exist! Mike was on the phone with those crooks for an hour yesterday. They didn t sound surprised or perturbed. Not only are they not doing anything to remedy the situation, they will charge us $170 for cancelling our cell phone service. Can you believe it?
I like Otter s version of ATT much better!

We use milk sparingly at most also. Just for cereal and coffee pretty much when camping. This way though, we can just bring a gallon from the house fridge instead of buying a 1/2 gallon for a camping trip. Who decided we should drink something a cow produces anyway?!
I ve got a gallon of water occupying the new space right now. I bought one to use as a template this morning.
All you need to bring is a pair of snips (I used some nippers), a file, and a clamp (since you probably wouldn t bring a vise camping with you).

CottonwooderMan, we just watched a re-cap of the past week of the Tour de France. Those guys are true STUDS! They inspire me every year. Too bad the Santa Rosa rider was knocked out of the race on day 2.
Go Lance!
How about Tyler Hamilton who is continuing to ride with a broken collarbone and is in 6th place overall!

Red neff BarchettaMike has been glued to that race on TV. He has the full riding gear when he goes biking each week, as well as his running gear.
Hey all, have you noticed how incredibly busy these NNC boards have been lately? I have my prefs set to show messages from the past 7 days, and at this very moment there are 15 (yes, fifteen!) boards listed! A couple of months ago, there d be only 3 or 4. Wow!

From what Amy has told me, " If we walk the kids to the bathroom and back, that should give Jeff enough time--with even a post-hug-and kiss." I don t know that for sure, it s just based on what Amy told Georgeanne.

Red neff BarchettaThanks for the suggestion but our Utah came with a fridge that had a space for the gallon container.
This was suppose to be the weekend of the mods but as things would have it, didn t happen. Had some friends over for a BBQ/Pool party on Sat. which meant cleaning the house a bit and cleaning up the yard. We have a scub oak in the back yard and the leaves are pointy, so I get to rake leaves in 100 degree weather. Plus I was doing BBQ baby backs ribs and spare ribs that I divided and prepared with 2 different rubs and a sauce, some smoked with cherry wood.
Today was: meet with a guy to buy some of my gandfather s old stamps, a trip to Penney s to replace a couple pairs of shorts, pick up a TV from my sister (42" to replace ours that has a fried tuner), then swim with the very tired girls.
Going camping is so much easier!!

Yes, you heard that from the finger tips of the old otter.
So, I need a plan: it needs to happen after8 pm on 7/20 and before 10 pm 7/25.
Jeff and Patricia will have to flip for who gets to flip the page, but
I want to see it happen

Red neff BarchettaOK: lets do it before madonna! But if it is not done by early on Thursday it will have to sit there till AFTER Madonna and I just know those not camping this weekend will find the flipping-feat toooooo tempting to leave til we get back.
Then what will we do Kevin? A real fate would be in store for those who flipped without us. Right?
I think we may be being snookered here.
Nick, can you put a hold on the thread on Thursday at noon if it isnot allready over 100? Just hold it til you get home on Sunday.

CottonwooderI certainly don t wish to distract attention from the infamous and felonious behavior of one of our members (who shall remain nameless, but is our only member named after both a tree AND a Coleman pop-up), but I was just perusing our glorious NNC web site. I finally managed to view the " Repairing an Awning" page from our " Camping Tips" section.
All I can say is I m dang proud to be associated with such a resourceful and talented bunch of folks.

And I now know why Neff wants that trailer so badly. [;)]

Well, after a day of futile searching, I give up!
I even hired a private detective agency and a repossession company, but my new TT is nowhere to be seen!
Late last night, I made some arrangements to have the trailer picked up at Patricia s house, but when they arrived the place was empty except for a few scant sewing items. I couldn t believe it, so caught an early flight this morning and went down to have a look for myself.
They definitely had the right house I concluded from the bent awning rails in the driveway as well as the recently remodeled side fence which has paint streaks the exact color as my new TT. I then attempted to enter the house, but was met by some rather irate construction guys with nail guns. They in turn called the Ventura police department and I got out of there quicker than a Cottonwooder being chased by an Otter.
Oh well, guess I ll stick with the PU.

Cottonwooder(dredging up old news) Hey Patricia, did you guys ever get that roaming phone charge crud from the Gold Rush Rally straightened out with AT&T?
If not, what if everybody in NNC and SCC emailed them and complained on your behalf, or what if you contacted a television news channel about the phony phone plan? Would that help?
Just wondering, cuz we may have to join the 21st century and actually purchase a cell phone, and are researching different companies, options, and plans.

CottonwooderHey Dave, I have been lurking around and have finally got around to posting again. Glad your are on the mend and it s great to see your little " ditties" again. On the cell phone issue...we have Verizon. We started out with, I think, AT&T and couldn t get any signal when we were camping and sometimes even had dead spots right here in Sacramento. We changed to Verizon when a friend of ours was camping with us at Yosemite Lakes and she could get a signal and we couldn t, and I was standing right next to her! We got the " Family Plan" which included our two phones (I think you could get up to 4 phones) for only $28 something per month and we had to sign a 2 year contract. I don t think that Plan exists any more and we are not upgrading because it would cost us more per month. Most of the people I have asked use Verizon for that same reason. You can just get a signal in more places than any of the other services. I don t know if we would want a different plan if we used our phones more, we don t use up all our minutes every month. We basically use it when we are on the road and if I have an emergency while driving my car. Hope this helps.

Hi, been out all day. Sure is good to see you back on the boards. You had all of us worried there for awhile!
Yes, after Mike contacted the Better Business Bureau and the California Public Utilities Commission, we finally got the problem resolved. It seems like the different sections of AT&T weren t aware of each others cell phone plans, that Mike s plan was obtained through a corporate plan, etc.
That s fine, but what steams me is that there was no appearing surprised, no curiosity about someone selling a plan that " didn t exist," nothing they would look into that a reputable company would do, and on top of it all, were going to charge us $170 for cancelling out of our plan. A few years ago I had a similar bad/illegal run-in with AT&T over our home-based business phone number. So with these two bad experiences, we re never touching AT&T again, and certainly aren t going to recommend them to anyone. When our contract is up with them, we ll be looking for another phone company too, so you will probably be able to advise us then!
Now, why are these boards still so quiet? Everyone still holding back? [8D]

CottonwooderWent to (HOT, as in 108!!!!) Sacramento this w/e for a Taekwondo tournament (Natomas High School for those Sacramentan s here). DS brought home trophies from his forms and sparring competitions. What a terrific kid!! He s one step away from a Black belt.
Anyway, funny thing happened at Starbucks (I believe you all know of Amy s addiction) in Roseville yesterday morning at about 7:30;
I ordered a Latte & a Mocha and they put up 2 cold coffee s. So I say " I wanted hot coffee s" and the guy looks at me like I m nuts. I then say " I m not from Sacramento" and he says " Obviously" , lol! The woman behind me then says " Around here people stop drinking hot drinks at about 6:00 a.m." , haha. Well, I m sitting here this morning with our windows open and a temp. of 73 degrees thinking of my parents house which already has the a/c running thinking " Who s nuts?" ! Who decided to plop a city in that area anyway?! It s only 2 1/2 hours away, but man what a difference in temperature!
Hope everyone who went camping this w/e had a great time! We re off again in 11 days and can t wait!

Yep, Birol....by the time you be posting at 9:00, you re an hour and a half behind my " ooops, woke up early" time. Good luck with the chase to #1. You re leaving #3 in the dust, but that doesn t necessarily mean your gaining on #1. However, it is a good move to get over to the NNC group. Kind of like running on a " moving sidewalk." You may not win, but it won t hurt.

Hey, he could make a little cash walking the ladies to the restroom in the middle of the night. I know that I would pay him a buck to walk G-Whiz. After that episode at the " Great SLO Escape" rally by the prison, G s a little hesitant to go to the restroom...and she would never go by herself. But after running into that apparent " evil doer" at 3:30 a.m., she s never been the same.
" Hey, Scott...G...it s me Ray."

Glad you are keeping Kewl in Santa Cruz Dianne.
Just spoke with Margaret, and it is fogged in over there.
Much nicer than the 90 degrees over here and it s only 11:30am[:(]

I thought you might want to know you need to add .org to the end of www.nick-neff-cough in your signature .[8D]
I am sure it was a mere typo and not an attempt to drive more people to the sccampers.org site.

ckkevinTo Griffsmom,
I saw your poll but again that membership thing prevents me from replying there. If you are set on either the Yukon or Expidition, I suggest the Yukon. My neighbor has one with 150,000 miles at this point and still going strong. He pulls a BIG boat.
My SIL has the Denali and loves it. They pull jet skis.
I went with the 1500HD for a couple reasons. Still get the inside of the Yukon but with a lot bigger trunk. With a tonneau you can get a little better gas mileage and the 10,200 tow capacity will haul the Utah.

Thanks, Kevin! Nope, haven t towed with it yet. [:(] We have to still get the brake controller installed and we aren t supposed to tow with it until the engine has at least 500 miles on it (that s 804.7 kms in Euro [;)]).

Sorry, but it was London, England. I think it might be a little too far to drive.
QuoteOh Yum !!!! Do you know the exact address ? I have been looking for the real stuff (I hope they make it according to the original receipe) so long ! I will definitely drive the two hours for real Baklava ! YUM !!!

6QuigsHey, was that RDNRDCK s twin in here?
Wow have I been busy lately with no end in sight! Glad we booked some August camping trips that are already on the calendar before my greedy self could book more work for those days, lol.
I have absolutely no idea what s been going on here for the last 2 weeks or so. Hope I didn t miss any major announcements and that everyone is well!
Amy, our oldest DS, & I went to see The Phantom Of The Opera tonight (OK, Thursday night) in S. F.. What a terrific show!!!!! I highly recommend it (10 out of 10) as we already want to go again before it s over in early September, lol. I ll even admit I had a few tears at the end. Had a great dinner beforehand at a Ray-suggested restaurant (LuLu s). It was the perfect place. The only thing that would have made it better is if Ray could have joined us. Walked Market street to the restaurant. What a fascinating and cosmopolitan street! You step around a sleeping homeless guy and then almost bump into a woman in a fur coat all in the same step. Pass a Nordstrom s and then a XXX store, etc... We then took a taxi back from the restaurant to the theater and that was also an experience. Fun, scary, fast, efficient, and crazy all in one ride.
Sorry about the rambling, but I m tired.
Sure hope everyone is well!
Go Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton!

Only two pages since Tuesday? You folks have slowed down. Probably pausing for breath. [:)]

Red neff BarchettaLance rocks and so does Tyler!!! What a great tour this year!!! I was definitely on pins and needles for most of it, even after Lance blew them all away with his stage win in the Pyrennes. I felt so bad for Ullrich when he went down during the last time trial, but it was academic anyway, since he wouldn t have gained much if anything on Lance even if he hadn t. I think next year s tour will be a very difficult one for Lance, with Jan wanting to win it (and possibly needing to prove something to himself and the world) and Tyler showing that he is very capabale of being a contender--despite a broken collarbone!
Did ayone see any of the running of the bulls on OLN? I watched a couple of them. It certainly seems to bring out the Hemingway in people! [;)]

I hope that doesn t happen again. Not being able to read and reply to posts leaves me with nothing else to do but to get projects and chores done around the house.[: (][;)]

oldmooseGreetings from the cool state of Oregon! It was HOT around Trinity lake but nice and cool here on the coast.
We have been feasting on fresh caught tuna and halibut and watching the elk on the side hill. I can not explain the beauty of this house of our nephew s. 30 acres on a hill top. Great people and Great place. We will be back in few weeks to stay another few nights on our way home.
We have decided that RV parks for the most part stink and that we have to invest in a deep cell battery and do more dry camping. For sure!!!! I haven t needed the electric blanket on this trip! 96 in Grants Pass on Sunday.
All is well with the ole Viking. It is serving us well.
We were given a " SeaOtter Crossing sign to put on the pu. It is too cute.
Hope all is well with each and everyone of you. I haven t been able to catch up with the posts, but heard that they were down for 4 days, so maybe I haven t missed too much.
Hugs

A NNC dry camping rally? What a NOVEL idea! [;)]. I remember trying that once and all I heard was how much people wanted hookups. This group has gone SOFT! [8D] In reality, it s hard to get sites together at dry camping places because those are mostly state and/or regional parks that don t allow specific site reservations. Regional parks usually do, but not state parks. I think the consensus here is that if you want to go dry camping, do it on your own time [;)][8D]. NNC camps with at least partial hookups. We ve been pretty successful at finding good spots with hookups. But I agree, dry camping does open up a lot of campgrounds.
Regarding camping in north state, we camped one time at an RV park in McCloud with a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta. It was called dance country RV park. It was a pretty nice place and close to all kinds of outdoor activities and a short walk to downtown McCloud. Here is the link for anyone who s interested:
http://www.mccloudrvpark.com/
I know, there s tons of RV parks and campgrounds up north, but this is the one I ve been to. If anyone is thinking of going up there or wants to hold a rally, let me know so I can tell you which sites to reserve. We could do this one in spring or early summer. In the spring, the McCloud river (adjacent to the park) would be rushing with snow river runoff and the nearby state park has hiking trails and neat waterfalls (see pictures in red caption):

oldmooseHey all,
Swamped as usual at work, but I m not complaining, it could be the other way around.
We are off tomorrow for 4 nights up at French Meadows reservoir. Can t wait! We ve got 2 sites reserved (Brian s right about the SP system not taking specific site reservations until arrival, but for some reason at French Meadows you can), 1 for us and 1 for my parents (tent) who are arriving Saturday. Until they arrive, we are going to have a HUGE site, lol. Batteries are charged, lug nuts checked, tires filled, PahaQue shower tent and floor loaded, etc... This trip in particular we have been looking forward to for about 6 months. Should be fun!
Glad everyone is well and dry rally s sound great to me! Great to hear Lon & Dianne are seeing the beauty SP s offer. Maybe we should get them a battery charger so they can get the full potential out of their new battery. Would hate for them to get discouraged from a low battery.
Talk to everyone next week.

Red neff BarchettaHey Jeff,
Sounds like a great trip coming up. With all of our home chores (backyard, concrete and planting) we won t get away until Tahoe. September is so far away.
On the musical note, have a great time at Iron Maiden and Dio. Dio holds a place in my heart because I saw him way back in 1984 (with Whitesnake as opening act) and had a big party after! We already got our tickets for the November Y &T show in Petaluma (going Sat night). Wish I could go to the Meniketti show in August but Paso Robles is a long ways to go for a concert.

No, I wasn t a Rocker. I was still a young pup in the early/mid 80s and the rockers smoked, so that scared me. I was into the 80s MTV bands. That s right, Duran Duran, the Police, Def Leppard, etc. That picture of AC/DC on the highway to hell album gave me nightmares as a kid, I was 6 or 7 when that came out. I was into music at an early age, but remember, you ve got a few years on me. [;)].

Wait just a minute there! I don t remember smoking that green stuff that you would hang up in a closet to dry and then carefully cut away the seeds and stem. Then crush the remaining leaves and roll it compactly into a thin cigarette or put it in a little bowl of a pipe and inhale a large amount and then hold it in your lungs for as long as you could stand it before passing out from lack of oxygen. What makes you think I would know anything about such ill repute?! Nope, don t know nuthin about it. Just like I don t know anything about playing records backwards or stuff like that.
Btw, I always liked the Police and the first 2 Def Leppard albums. You re on your own with Duran Duran. You might want to keep that quiet you know.

The Y&T gig sounds like fun! Are they playing with Montrose again? That might just get us down there.

I read about the whole DD group getting back together and touring on CNN.com. I m quite surprised they made it through the 80s. They re probably the only big band that did. Well, except for Motley Crue.

oldmooseThe first great love of my life was a guy I dated in college who was from santa Rosa. I used to fly up to his house on Christmas and summer vacations and just spend time with him and his family. One year, we went into the city to see the Tubes. You remember them don t you? " White Punks on Dope" and " Talk to You Later" --that sort of thing? [;)][:)]
FWIW, we ve got tickets to Eric Sardinas with Blues Gone South at the House of Blues in August, and then REM at Hollywood Bowl in September. Now if I could just go to another Dave Matthews Band concert and Oingo Boingo would come out of retirement for Halloween, this year would round out nicely! [:D]
PS Brian--I m a product of the eighties as well and loved " Double D" I still have quite a few of their albums, alhtough Ihighly doubt I ll be seeing them in concert this time around.

I wonder if you dated one of my friends, ha.
There was a period where all we listened to were The Tubes, Oingo Boingo (I have a cd of " Only A Lad" ), Agent Orange, and the hot new band The Red Hot Chili Pepper s, etc...
Man, the 80 s were a weird time, lol.
Btw, Eric Sardinas is terrific live! Have fun.

oldmooseWell, everything is put away and all I can say is; What an amazing campground and w/e!!!!! French Meadows is so amazing that you forget quickly about the serious bit of driving for 35 miles at or under 40 mph between Forest Hill and French Meadows. If my cg rating system was based on one of Spinal Tap s amplifier s, French Meadows would be turned up to 11.
This is the best cg and experience we have ever had! Crystal clear skies, water, and air, breathtaking views of both french Meadows and Hell Hole reservoir s, a cg which was only 25% full, warm reservoir/lake, great hikes and exploring, relaxing, quiet, the water spigots are even threaded so you can fill up the first 26 gallons with a hose upon arrival, perfectly working PU, raided by a bear last night/this morning, but all he wanted was some baby carrots while I was armed ridiculously behind the flimsy plastic PU door with a fire extinguisher and panic button for the TV, lol, great find of an even emptier cg called Big Meadows near Hell Hole reservoir, relatively flat cg loops for bikes, one night of fresh high Sierra light rain, Wait!! Forget I ever said anything. This place is horrible!! Don t anybody go there. You ll hate it! Wish I had never gone!! Yeah, yeah, that s it, what a wasted w/e! Don t bother.

oldmooseGood Morning from Vancouver Island! What a gorgeous place. We are staying with friends at Quaicum Beach and today we will all go out to the western shore to camp for a few days.
Kevin: Funny you should mention going 55 on 880. There is none of this 55 with trailers business in OR or WA or BC. So Lon has to keep his eye on me as I am the one that tends to drive too fast. He is especially vigil now since we discovered that I apparently have lost my liscense somewhere along the line. We went to cross the board and I went to find it...no there!
We have seen several starcrafts and Jayco s and even a twin Viking, but have not seen one Coleman in Canada. Odd huh?
Mike: no problem with the ferry. It is $$$$; but they make it very easy. You will love this part of your trip.
Jeff: Congrats on the new girl in the family. Girls rule; boys drool.
Larry & Rita: Sadie keeps jumping out of the car at campgrounds and looking around for familiar faces and doggie friends. She is so funny. We are now with our friends who have the 6 month old Border Collie ( which I thought they said was an Austrailian Shepard) Any way they are sooooooo much alike. They have become great friends. She is Sophie [:D]
I don t know when I will get to a computer again, so wanted to see Hey, to all our friends at NNC and PUT. We are having a ball.
Hugs to all

GuestDianne - Sounds like you are having a great time! I think Oz scared away all Canadian s from buying Coleman s with his roof thread, lol! We sure were happy with ours last w/e during the rain. Nice to know I will NEVER have a leak coming through my one-piece roof (especially since we don t have a/c).
Holly -
No, Amy didn t get any pictures, but they would be pretty funny. She was probably more calm than I was. We put each kid in the middle of their beds without waking them up and we got to listen to the bear chomping on carrots. It was actually pretty cool! We were more worried about people in their tents than ourselves. About 20 minutes later we heard yelling and a car alarm across the cg at another site. That evening we had taken down the screen room like we usually do the night before we leave to speed up popping-down. I think the screen room was a deterrent for the bears the previous 3 nights because I guarantee they checked out our site every night. Just part of mountain camping.
Jon -
The bag of carrots were left in the netted area in the underside of the cooler lid. The bear was actually pretty gentle in getting the carrots out of that area. He didn t even rip the netting. I was impressed. The rest of our food was either in the fridge (the gallon milk mod. worked great btw!) or locked in the TV (with the windows rolled completely up) covered with a blanket. Thankfully, we had wiped off the outside stove and I had emptied the grey water tote before we went to bed.
Have fun this w/e!
One other site we saw which made a huge impact on us (as opposed to just reading or hearing about on the news) was our drive right through the heart of the " Star" fire scene between the 2 reservoir s on National Forest Road #2. Thousands of acres burned to a crisp. Very stark and the landscape is totally scarred. Complete devastation. The ironic part is that the only area s which are being re-seeded are a few acre s that are privately owned. All of the national forest areas affected (about 95% of the area) cannot be re-seeded thanks to nature activists who got a law enacted that says nature must take care of itself. Well, they never thought about forest fires (this one was started by 2 morons getting stoned) and the need to turn the soil and re-seed. Now this area will remain stark like that for at least 20 years before the soil will repair itself enough for things to start to grow again. This fire was centered in a canyon (with Red Star ridge on one wall) where the winds shift back and forth every 4-5 hours so the fire was constantly getting agitated back and forth so the fire truly burned everything to a crisp. Right to the core of the trunks of the trees. The soil is like a glassy film right now.

Psst, Dave -
This cg and area is the quintessential mountain camping experience. What we all dream about. We will be back probably as soon as next summer if not the spring.
Anyway, you take 80 up to Auburn, then 17 miles on Foresthill Rd. to Foresthill (took 20 minutes), and then a very curvy and slow 35 miles with a 1,000 foot drop on one side of the road to French Meadows reservoir on Mosquito Ridge Rd./National Forest Rd. #96. That last 35 miles I am positive is the reason for only the hearty campers to go. It took us about 1 hour and 10 minutes. If you go slow with caution and enjoy the experience and scenery you will forget all about it before you are even backed into your site. My only caution is that you need a strong TV with good brakes and tranny. I dropped down to 2nd. gear for most of the downhill portions so my brakes would be there 100% when I really needed them. It took us just over 4 hrs. going and just under 4 hrs. coming home.

Red neff BarchettaNow the 64K question, did you stop at the grocery store in Foresthill and get a bag of freshly fried flour tortilla chips and their fresh salsa? If not, you will have to add it to the checklist prior to going by there again. We usually go to Sugar Pine Reservior (Giant Gap campground) and I think 1/2 the reason is so we can get the chips.

We didn t stop at the store although we went right past it.
We pulled into a gas station/mini-mart for gas (so we would have a full tank for day trips around French Meadows) and to top off our ice supply.
We will definitely pick up some chips and salsa next time.
Thanks for the " chip" !

GuestI was just checking out the updated Coleman site.
Looks like they have flipped around all the floor-plans with the kitchen area s in back now to the front. Why did they always deny sway could happen with the kitchens in the rear of the older models, ha? They now offer a cover for your PU too! So much for voiding the warranty if you cover it I guess. The new Highlander series is supposed to be their version of a Hybrid (their press release). Well where are the holding tanks for grey and black water?
I don t mean to rant, because I love my 2002 Utah and we now realize that we are PU people (especially with the drill and other speedy mod s.) to remain for quite a while, but this season s models combined with Coleman trying to get Fleetwood to drop their name just gives me a bad feeling about the quality and direction they are heading towards.

Weird huh?

Not that weird if you look at what some people use to cover their boats with. Some people use specially made boat covers (maybe equivilant to what Coleman is offering); others use blue tarps until they rot away into a something that can best be described as reinforced polydirt.

ROTFLMAO! Nope, that can t be what they turn into, cuz my back yard dries out in the summer to what can be described as " reinforced polydirt" . Oops, my mistake... maybe that s reinforced (rock infused) polyclay. Dang stuff is harder to dig a trench in than you can believe. I m the only guy I ve ever heard of who had to sharpen a maddock cuz the *dirt* dulled the tip. [&:]
The problem with covering the tops was/is condesation. If you have ventilation under the tarp, there shouldn t be a problem. That s what these " special" covers do, IIRC.

GuestI m one of those chumps who spent a hundred bucks on a cover only to find out that it trapped more dust than it kept off the PU. Now I just leave it uncovered and hose it off every once in a while. Wanna buy a cover, cheap?

champ521Champ/Dave -
If it makes you feel any better, I (ok, my business) spend $700.00 a MONTH on a PU cover! The cover is fairly good sized though. It covers 2 cargo vans, materials, and tools & equipment as well. Some would call it a shop, but since the PU is the thing inside I care the most about, I call it my PU cover, lol.
Larry/Sammy Slave has a similiar cover for his PU.

champ521Our dealer told us it was ok to cover the PU as long as there was plenty of air circulation. So, we bought a large gray tarp and put 2 plastic milk crates on top of the PU roof and put the tarp over the crates then bungy it to the trailer. Works like a charm. The only thing it doesn t cover is part of the front storage trunk. Need just a little larger tarp and it is totally covered.

champ521Hi All...
As I m sure everyone has noticed with some chagrin, Surfcal has been really busy lately. Too busy to even visit the boards for some good old fashioned rabble rousing! So, he has volunteered me to be the new distribution center for the NNC documentary. (I guess that s what I get for bragging about having my summers off!) He s sent me a bagful of tapes, and forwarded to me any requests he s received for copies.
I hope to get them in the mail by Wednesday or Thursday, so.........speak now or forever hold your peace! If you haven t yet requested a copy, and you would like one, please send me an e-mail with your address, and I will be sure to include you in the mass mailing.

champ521Hey, it s slow around here, everybody s camping but me, so I ll share today s high points...
Been pressure washing my house last night and all of today in preparation for painting. Problem is, hornets had built a nest up under the peak of the second story. My 30 extension ladder would reach it (barely) but being that high while trying to kill hornets wasn t my cup of tea. [:o] So last night I set up the ladder, off to one side of the nest, and nailed them with the pressure washer. Blew their nest out from under the eves in about 2 seconds. Ha! Take that, you little buggers! [:D]
Guess what? Yup, they re back this morning, evidentially having decided to rebuild after Hurricane Morris blew through last night. And they were not in the mood for any visitors. Dang things made me put off washing one whole half of the upper story today... that ll set me back a day on painting. Grrrr... [:@]
So tonight I slipped into Stealth Mode, becoming: (Da-ta-da-DA!!) : " Ninja Diver" !. That s right boys and girls-- a full wetsuit, boots, gloves, mask, and a towel taped over your mouth will let you do just about anything you want to a hornets nest. Add a can of Ortho Hornet spray and it s by-by time for unwanted stinging visitors.
There I was, top of the ladder, shooting straight up into the new group of hornets, while dying hornets and Ortho foam are falling straight down on top of me. [: (] After a couple minutes of this fun and games, I was finished making sure the nest and surrounding area was covered in foam. I crawled down the ladder and had the wife hose me down real good to wash off all the Ortho and dead hornets. We ll see tomorrow if it worked for good. [:)]
So there you have it, a new use for a dive suit. Remember boys and girls, I m a trained diving professional... don t try this at home. [;)]

champ521Well, just got back from 10 days and 2500 miles of popup fun. Hit Crater Lake, Portland, Mt St Helens, Vancouver and Victoria, BC. Boy, did we just about do it all! Ferry boats, volcanoes, international border crossings, tearing down in the rain. My Mom came along so there were the four of us plus her and of course the dog. The van worked great hauling all of us and the trailer all over. I was concerned about all the mountain driving (we crossed the Cascades 5 times) but a little common sense (locking the transmission in low and keeping the speed down while climbing the long grades) and all was well.
Just before we left we changed the oil and trans fluid in the van, got the cruise control repaired, replaced the front brake pads, repaired the brakes on the trailer and repacked the wheel bearings, and installed a prodigy brake controller. This actually became very important when a big rig cut us off at speed on the freeway and we needed all the braking power we had to - well I had accepted we were going to hit him. We missed by t---------h-----------i-------------s much. Literally.[:o] Lucky we only had a few miles to go to stop for the night because I was shaking.
Saw something interesting the first night out as well. Stopped for gas in Weed and heard a loud BANG on the road then sscraape. Some poor guy lost his utility trailer. Fortunately he had safety chains, but I wondered if he had any hitch left from all the sparks he was throwing.
Spent today - the first day back - installing a Fantastic Fan roof vent and repositioning the yakima rack from a canoe configuration (how it was when we got it and we don t have a canoe) to where we can use our bike racks on it, as well as some other minor deschnitzifying.
Leave next week for Montana for a week. I could get used to this[8D][8D][8D]

champ521Abbear--You just took the trip G-Whiz and I were planning on. Now it will have to wait a year because we haven t been back to Michigan to visit the family for some time. So instead of the Pacific Northwest, we re leaving the " Get Lucky at the Lake Rally" and heading for Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, and entering Michigan through the Upper Penisula.
We could get used to this too.

champ521Abbear, what part of Montana. I have family there. My Uncle lived in Missoula, a cousin lives in Bozeman and the majority of the rest of the cousins live on the farm about an hour drive outside Billings near Joliet. We were there just last year for a family reunion on the farm. We continued our trip and did the tourist thing in South Dakota. We stayed at the Horse Theif Camp Ground in Hill City, SD. It was a nice home base for day trips to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse (only a few minutes away) and to Rapid City. We stayed at this camp ground several years ago and the same people are still running it. It is a very nice, clean and friendly place.
Have fun.

As of 4pm, on 8/12/03, the room extension is FINISHED. The contractor has left for the final time, and this construction zone here in mid-Ventura will now become a home again. Amen!
Hope everyone is doing well. This past weekend we went on our first camping trip since Gold Rush, believe it or not. Summer has flown by extra quickly, and Rebec returns to school next week. Karen returns to preschool after Labor Day, when I ll be able to actually work in the daytime at my client s office. They ve only seen me once since June! Had a blast at our local annual fair, where we met Tracy Byrd [:D], dined on fair food, and my scrapbook entries raked in some blue ribbons.
Now that construction is over and school is starting back up, am looking forward to getting back into my regular routine. [:)]

I wish the balance on my mortgage was low enough to have a $700.00 payment! Enjoy it while you got it.
Well, we just returned from a quick but gorgeous trip to Yosemite. In a word; CROWDED!!!!! Although, I consider myself lucky for having found a reservation back in March right after Snug Harbor when Larry/Sammy Slave got the whole group to change the dates on me even though I had already paid my deposit, lol! J/k Larry.
We stayed at Lower Pines cg in Yosemite valley. We were packed in like sardines! Did I say the park is crowded? What a beautiful place Yosemite is (we hiked to Vernal Falls and did all the other touristy stuff), but I think we prefer the Sierra s.
I ve got to get the PU put away and ready for work (blahh!) tomorrow, but thought I d pop in. Did some serious driving the past few days and it is nice to be home.
Now I get top look forward to our next (local) trip in just 10 days. We re staying close so Amy can get ready for work and join us each afternoon which is why we couldn t make Yosemite with everyone. I m sure it would have been much more enjoyable with all of you along with us. Would have made the shuttle buses more enjoyable as well.
Our next trip will be a PU working w/e too. I m going to once-and-for-all fix that damned galley drawer with new slides! Also, I need to get some super glue and re-attatch some of the velcro on the PU frame for the screen room skirt as it is starting to peel away in some spots.
Also returned to great news that the G3 (electric guitar heaven with Joe Satriani leading the charge) tour dates are out and tix go on sale this Sunday for the Concord show in October. Can t wait! It s the w/e after the " I Scream" rally.
Kevin/Margaret -
You should know that Seacliff is tied for first (with French Meadows) on our list as the best trips so far this year! We still can t get over what a cool place that is and how lucky you are to live so close to it! Of course, being with your family actually gives it a slight edge over French Meadows.
Looking forward to the Tahoe rally!

Jeff,
Yep, they can be that way (stuffy) I mean, It is their loss! I probably converse with them on the TrailManor site anyhow.
I did get an email from my little Civil War buddy, he answered my question and I owe him one. I will have to wish him well this w/e, although I am sure he will pass with flying colors.
I have been doing this and that around the house. I was trying to get the 500 miles on the Tahoe so that I can get away and camp soon...but then a great opportunity came up, I will be driving down to do a reenactment in Huntington Beach over Labo(u)r Day, that will get some miles under the beast in a hurry.
Anyhow, glad that you and the family had a great time in Yosemite, and tell Amy that I m sorry the summer flew by and she must now return to the rigors of the classroom.
Take care and give my best to the rest.

champ521Abbear, sounds like a LONG trip. I don t remember going to Missoula very much. When my Uncle lived there before he died I was a youngster. One trip both my sister and I were sick with colds and going over the Lolo pass burst our eardrums. Needless to say, my Mom had her hands full. Another trip was when I was 16 and learning to drive. My Dad had me driving in the mountins headed to Missoula and I got soooooo scared [&:] with all the curves. My Mom finally told me to stop the car and made my Dad take over. She was so mad [:@] at him for making me do that. It wouldn t have been so bad in a smaller car, but we had a Chrysler, Newport. We used to call that car " the tank" .
When we drove to Montana from Sacramento, we always went as far as Jackpot, NV (the first day) and parked in the Cactus Petes lot. They have a large gravel/dirt area that RV s/trailers, deisel trucks, etc. can park for the night in and they don t charge anything. Of course there are no hook-ups so it is dry camping, but for one FREE night, it s OK. I guess they figure people will go inside the casino to play or eat and make their money that way. From there we would go through Idaho, the tip of Yellestone and arrive in Bozema, MT around 3:00 in the afternoon. We would spend the night there and then go on to the Farm. It usually worked out nicely for us.
Have a safe trip. Those Montana drivers do strange things. [;)] Be sure to watch for your exit signs closely because if you miss one you have to drive for miles before you can get to the next exit and turn around.
I m sure you will have a lot of fun, especially since it is a family reunion.

When we drove to Montana from Sacramento, we always went as far as Jackpot, NV (the first day) and parked in the Cactus Petes lot. They have a large gravel/dirt area that RV s/trailers, deisel trucks, etc. can park for the night in and they don t charge anything. Of course there are no hook-ups so it is dry camping, but for one FREE night, it s OK. I guess they figure people will go inside the casino to play or eat and make their money that way. From there we would go through Idaho, the tip of Yellestone and arrive in Bozema, MT around 3:00 in the afternoon. We would spend the night there and then go on to the Farm. It usually worked out nicely for us.

Wow! I guess I missed the announcement that you got a new TV. You should do well with the 5.3 liter engine. My folks have a Tahoe (an 01 I think) which I drove a few weeks back and was really impressed. Congrat s.!
The TrailManor triplets weren t stuffy at all. Just kind of stuck to themselves and stayed inside their rigs most of the time they were at the cg. A far cry from the TrailManor scene I m used to with you and Veronica kicking back so comfortably outside your rig welcoming anyone who walks by to chat a while. Different strokes for different folks is all. What struck me funny was that all 3 of them will only camp with the other 2 (none of them has ever camped any other way), but they thought camping groups were silly, lol. I said hello each morning and they were very friendly back, but that was all the interaction they wanted which was their right after all.
I am glad to hear you have found some more re-enactments since Gettysburg fell apart. Huntington Beach huh? Be sure to say " gnarly dude" each time a fellow soldier is " killed" . My Mom went into labo(u)r with me while walking the Huntington Beach pier back in 66. I must have seen all of the bikini s and wanted out, ha.
After a few months with the kids almost 24/7, Amy is actually ready for some adult interaction with her fellow teachers. We have had/are having a great summer though as we always try to do. Besides good benefit s, summer s off is the great thing about teaching. Cause it sure isn t the pay, lol!

Good idea to veto her vote. If you got the Avalanche she probably would always want to drive it. Now in protest she ll never want to drive the Chevy 1/2 ton [;)][;)]
Hope you will have done over 500 miles in it before towing the Bayside to Yosemite,[:o] Looks like you ll have to cruzing this weekend to build up the miles[8D]

Civil_War_BuffGreetings from the great Northwest!
Yes, we are still kicking around in Oregon. We had a great time on Vancouver Island. Eagles, Eagles everywhere. You can imagine how excited Lon was. Then we did 6 days in WA including Mt St Helen s.
Now we are with family again in OR and head back to CA in the morning. We will meet our daughter and family at a campground in the Smith River area for a few last days before heading home. Should be home by Wednesday night; as my babysitting duties begin on Thursday at the crack of dawn. It will be one day shy of 4 weeks in the ole PU and it has certainly served us well.
With each trip we learn so much! Lon is now convinced that we need a back up battery so we can do more dry camping. So many of these hook up campgrounds are too noisey and too crowded. On the other hand how remote can we get with a Nissan van and PU. But we would have more options.
Just wanted to say hello to everyone and send my hugs. I will read the back pages and write again when we get home.
Oh! I have to tell you about Sadie. She is so used to camping with the group that as we would pull into a site she would start looking around for all her friends human and canine. After a week or so of being dissappointed in that endeavor she now just gets out and looks dejected![:(] We are eager to see her reaction when she finds 2her grandgirls and her buddy Moe (DD s dog).

Obviously you have not test drove a new vehicle lately. There was barely enough gas in any of the ones we drove last weekend to get them to the gas station. They all had their gas lights on. I don t know if it s a security precaution or a money saving thing. I do know that if gas sits too long it will lose oxygen (octane rating). My first trip in it was a trip to the ball park with the fellas. Much more back seat room than that Durango.

Ca-girlHey Tania-- received my copy of Ray s video. Thank you very much! I ll get the other one to it s owner as well.
On a different note-- the painting has gone well. No more hornet diving needed, as I managed to get every last one of the little buggers. The house now has two coats of paint, brushed into every nook and cranny. (That T-111 siding is like trying to paint a Thomas s English Muffin. [:@] ) The trim work is coming along nicely. The original bottom-end *flat* paint that was barely " dusted" on by the developer has been replaced with a high-end satin paint. Man, what a difference in the appearance! It d be a good time to sell. [;)]
Ok, back to work on the details of finishing the job. *Then* I can worry about getting the camper ready for use. Looks like most of the gang is out having fun or working overtime-- I haven t seen the NNC forum s this quiet in a loooong time.
BTW: s posed to be 105ø here in a couple days. Glad I m not scheduled to paint *this* week. Good time to head down to the coast or " up to the mountains" , eh? [;)]

Civil_War_BuffTania -
I also received my copy of the video. Thanks for sending them out! Amy got a kick out of it as she was putting our youngest to bed when it was shown at the Gold Rush rally. Rita s giggles bring on a smile every time and I love Larry/CWB s comment about how he s going camping with some people he met on the internet, lol. That is so true, Amy made me and our youngest go to our first rally (Woodson Bridge) by ourselves. I guess she figured she d only lose 2 of us instead of the whole family! Actually, she had already started working.
Dave 521 -
Congrat s on the new truck! Can t wait to check it out.

Glad to hear the painting is almost done. I m sure it looks great.

Civil_War_BuffTania--we got our videos too. Thanks. We are going to send one of them to G s dad, who was the original PU camper in the group. He bought a used one last year, but alas, his wife wouldn t tow it and he doesn t see well enough to tow it himself. Maybe when we are back there in early October, we can invite him over to spend the night. I think that he would get a kick out of it.

Civil_War_BuffI m back!!! Rather tired after driving from Port Angeles, WA to S vale in two days, but had a great vacation. We left home on Thursday the 7th at about 4:30PM hit a little traffic getting out but not bad. Crossed over the Benicia Bridge (Why did they spend the last few years and tons of money fixing the old bridge and now builiding a new one?) and the wind was horrible. We passed a guy changing his spare tire on the side of the freeway when he started waving at me and pointing to the trailer. I looked back and my kayak had flown off and was bouncing down the freeway. By the time I could get pulled over I was about a half mile from where my kayak was sitting. Luckly it did not hit any cars and the wind blew it to the side. Supprisingly there was no damage at all to the kayak. Anyway the rest of the trip to Hat Creek was fine. Spent a few days at Hat Creek, did some fishing and kayaking. Snagged two good size trout but my line snapped twice. Next day I bought new line and restrung the reel. Left Hat Creek on Monday the 11th. Wanted to get an early start but just could not get myself in pack up mode. I think Larry influenced me in that way. Pack up a little, drink a little, pack up some more, make lunch, pack up some more......... So we finnaly left and headed north. Went through Abdivers town but did not have the contact list with me. Looks like a nice place to live.
Got into Ainsworth SP neer Troutdale, Or at about 10:00PM, set up quickly and crashed. Spent the next few days in and around Portland. Got to go to the creek I played in as a kid, and picked some blackberries that I made into a cobbler in the DU that night. We went on a jetboat ride on the Willamette River in downtown Portland, which Hunter slept through the entire ride, spins and all.
We left Portland on Thursday the 14th headed further north into Washington. Spent a lot of time at Mt. St. Helens. Drove all the way to Johnson Peak with is as close the the crater as you can get with a car. It was cool to see the Mountain after 20 plus years. We lived near Portland when it erupted in 80 and had been about two miles from the Mountain a week before the big one. Other than some new growth of trees it does not look much different. The devistation was just increadible and beautiful. It was cool to see the lava dome that was not there the last time I saw the mountain.
After leaving St. Helens we drove the rest of the way to the campgound at Sequim Bay State Park. Got up Friday morning and took the ferry over to Victoria. Spent the entire day over there seeing at the normal tourist spots. We were suposed to leave on the 6:10pm boat back to Port Angeles, but due to high winds and sixteen foot seas they canceled the trip and rescheduled us on a larger boat at 7:30pm. We didnt end up leaving till about 8;30PM but luckly the weather had cleared up a bit and we only had swells of about 4 -5 feet. Gat back to the campground at about 11:30 so it made for a long day.
Saturday we decided to just take it easy and rest for the long trip home. Ended up going to Dungeness Spit and also into Port Angeles to get some fresh off the boat crab. Got it for $4.50 a pound! Took three of them back to the campground and feasted that night. We left for home on Sunday morning and on the way out along Hood Canal we stoped for a break. A lady was selling fresh caught Salmon for $1.00 a pound. I got a 20lbs that I m going to smoke.
We drove back into Oregon and decided to take Hwy 97 instead of I5 for a change of scenery. Got a little past Cresent, Or and stoped for the night cause the highway was closed near Klamath due to fire.
We arrived home last night at about 6:30pm. Don t want to be back at work[:@]
I ll post a link for pictures later today.

Civil_War_BuffForgot to mention another kayak mishap. We were still at Sequim Bay and I decided to drive from our campsite down to the boat launch in the park. I put the kayak on top of the rack on my Exploder and put a bungie from my front bumper to the bough and from the rear bumper to the stearn clip. Well I got down to the water, went to the back of the car, unhooked the bungee from the bumber an in what I can only describe as a brain fart, let go of the bungee cord. Can we say kayak sling shot. That think shot foward so fast. Just about cleared my hood but the back end of the kayak hit the hood and left a nice scratch.[&:][&:]

Civil_War_BuffCivil War Buff--When and where is your reinactment in Huntington Beach? Are these reinactments open to the public? If we are in town, it would be a good experience to show the kids.
I also wanted to let you know, Randy got the new hitch installed and it works GREAT!! We drove to Bridgeport a week ago (450 miles each way). We had no sway issues at all. It worked like a dream. Wish we had had it before Gold Rush.
Thanks again!!

OC CampersJacqui,
I may not be making it to HB after all. Veronica had made camping reservations for Labo(u)r Day and we debated whether or not to go, but it looks like we will have to spend the long weekend in Monterey California....what a shame. [8D]
But, to answer your question, yes, these events are open to the public, that is really why we do them.
I am so glad that the hitch is working for you, I was pretty sure that it would be an improvement. Thanks to you and Randy for helping me clear my garage.[;)]

6QuigsWow, caught the news this morning about the heavy rains in Las Vegas. Something like 3" in 90 minutes, and all that water has to go " somewhere" . The weather report showed very strong thunderstorm activity in south-east Calif. Hope none of our So-Cal brothers and sisters are caught out in the desert *dry* camping. That s why you never camp in a dry riverbed.
Yo--- Ventura members... remember that campground that was suddenly flooded a few years back? Wasn t that right off the Hwy 101-33 area? My parents were down there at that time in their motorhome. Scary stuff.
Ab Diver--- mulling over that pontoon modification to my pop-up....

So glad to help clean out your garage. Would you believe we had a person ( a guest sign in from Mississippi) buy our Reese Mini 350. He didn t even own a popup yet but wanted to be prepared. What a great Website this is. I guess all things happen for a reason.[:)]

Dave with all the mods you already have, why not pontoon floaties? There is always a first for everything. You may start something here. A floating PU. Hmmm.
Jacqui
QuoteORIGINAL: Ab DiverI don t think Ventura got hit. Thankfully. Most of it was in the desert near Lancaster and Mojave. We just went thru that area on Sunday pulling the PU back from the Eastern Sierras. So glad we missed the rain. That area is so desolate, I wouldn t want to be stuck out there. There is no place around to seek shelter either. Just a lot of sand and scrub brush. I feel sorry for the people heading out the I 15 to Vegas. It is totally closed in both directions due to an overpass that couldn t take the rain and started to crumble. According to the news the backup was 27 miles long trying to head out the I 40 detour[: (]

Oh, I remember that well. Actually it has happened twice where the Ventura River has overflowed onto the 101 and closed it. Funny thing about that is that the freeway goes along nice and high until it gets to the river. Then inexplictly it dips down 4 - 6 feet to the bridge. Odd design.
Then one of the years the news helicopters got a video of a motorhome just as it was swept under a bridge. Oh, that was good video, so it made national news. I got a call from my brother in Michigan all concerned about the flooding in Ventura. No news without the video...the campground is built in the flood plain of the Ventura River and it just a couple of acres. Oh the power of video.

Civil_War_BuffThe Nick s and us did about the same trip, but it took us 4 weeks!!! I guess that is what age does for ya. I can t imagine setting up at 10pm... or not getting back to camp after a day in Victoria til 11:30. Maybe I did it when I was your age, but sure couldn t do it now.
We did the same trip at Mt. St. Helen s, but camped at the Seaquest Park right at the first visitor s center. We stayed 2 nights so we did Johnston s Lookout the first day and then drove the north west circle to the view point there, which was truely dramatic. It was a lot of driving, but was a nice way to spend a day.
We ferried to Vancouver Island with the PU, pricey but worth it! We stayed with friends who had their grandkids there too, so use d the PU for sleeping and we got to go camping on the western shore of the island. The beaches were fantastic, but the crowds were surprisingly large.
It is nice to be back, but I miss the sleeping outdoors. I think I am goin gto work on a screened in porch here in Menlo Park. [:)]

6QuigsWelcome back Otter.
The SammySlaves and the G s stopped by your place in SC. There was a contented little-old-lady sitting in the living room watching the crowds saunter by. Looked like a nice thing to do once one is a bit beyond sauntering age.
We were going to make that trip in 4-weeks to, but have changed to head east on a four-week camping trip to Michigan. Even going to camp in Michigan instead of staying in family-housing.
See you soon.

We would rather use the camper than someones futon on the living room floor, or exrtra bedroom with the sewing machings, scrapbooks and dried flowers stuffed in the corner.
We did like the extension cord from the garage and putting the PU on the side yard. That solved the no pot-a-potty feature of our PU. But we could sleep or not as we chose and make our morning coffee when we wanted and still be close. We were visiting people who for the most part lived in small towns or out in the country so it worked out well for us. I know you will enjoy your trip to Mich. It is such a beautiful time to travel.
Our next trip is to NM (Sep10-22) and it will probaby still be hot in the daytime, but be cooling down at night. But I am looking foward to uncrowded campgrounds and kids back in school [;)]

Hmmmm, hadn t thought of that. Family housing with a twist. Visit brother in Grand Rapids, spend the night next to his barn. The Butteries have a side yard. The Stewards have a garage.
In fact those lots in Michigan are so huge we could probably had a rally in a couple of them. The Folly at the Foley s Rally. That s so NNC.

Any good campgrounds you can recommend. We aren t picky for overnight lodging, but did avoid a campground in the " high crime" district of New Orleans one time.

Civil_War_BuffHello all:
I just wanted to log in and say hi to everyone. As you all know, I have the propensity to be sent out of town at a moment s notice. In the past few weeks, work has been pretty busy, thus missing Yosemite and Lake Tahoe.
Right now, I am in Providence, RI and yesterday, Cape Cod, MA. Last week, I was sent to Las Vegas, NV and then to Springdale, AR (yes, as in Are-Kansas). And next week, I have to take a trip back to somewhere in New Jersey. The week after that, I am slated to go to at least 4 more cities and states. And the week after that, I will be in post getting ready for a huge corporate event for eBay.
I note my itinerary because I realize that I ve totally dropped out of sight (not even an entry!!) and I assure you that I am not " dissing" the members of this great body of campers. Although I have not used my popup camper and from the looks of it, my camper is outdated and there is a new group trend to bump up to a hybrid.
Anyway, my warm greetings to you all and I miss being with the group. It s been such a long time since I ve been to a rally that I ve forgotten how to play Zoom.
So, with that brief explanation...I bid you all an enthusiastic hello and for the time being...
Namaste
Surfcal
P.S. I probably won t be active again for weeks.

Civil_War_BuffLon and I are back from the journey to the deserts of the southwest. what fantastic country it is. I guess we didn t miss much on these boards. Sounds like they were down for ever. We figure we have about 7000 miles on our rig and are beginning to wonder about tires and the like. We did loose a leafspring on this trip, but fortunately we were all but in Carson City when it happened and the AAA towing covered it. One hour of labor and the 2 springs didn t even hit $150. 2 nights in a motel and eating out hurt a bit, but all in all it worked out well.
Lon leaves for Spain soon, but I ve decided not to go, so I may be up for a rally close by in Oct. or Nov. Collins Lake sounds too far away. I ll have to check out the boards and see if anything is planned.
It is good to be home. Hello all
hugs

Civil_War_BuffHi all, just wanted to update you on Sal. He was discharged yesterday from the Hospital and is much better. When he went in last Friday he weighed 386 lbs. and his sugar level (diabetic) was out of wack. When they weighed him yesterday he was down to 345 and his sugar level was back to normal. He has lost 41 lbs. in water weight. His legs and hands are much smaller now, though his belly is still big. The doctors have increased the amount of water pills he has to take so we are hoping the stomach will start dwindeling down also. The infection is well on it s way out. He is just trying to catch up on sleep now because with all the poking and prodding at the hospital, he didn t get much sleep. Hopefully, he will be, at least, reading the boards today. Thanks for all the well wishes.
Boy Kevin (6 Quigs), love the pictures of your new rig. Can t wait to see it at Collins lake. Will you have to change sites because of the length of the new rig?
Again, thanks to all of you for the well wishes for Sal.

KellyKelly,
I ve had my popup for three years. We do bring a lot of stuff, but I do have to do it all by myself, since I Mrs. Sacto has to keep an eye on Sactotoddler. I *could* go faster, but then I always forget something or do something out of sequence. Also, I clean the whole interior of the popup (including shower/toilet area) with Formula 409 (but of course, must sweep before doing that so I don t retrack dirt)and doing that in sequence is critical too. We have the rug that needs to be folded and the awning, the car has to get packed, the dog taken care of, etc. etc. I don t think it s more than anybody else, it s just a lot more than when it was just DW and I when we could do it all in about an hour. We usually wake up around 8:00 A.M., dilly-dally around, start folding sheets, rolling up sleeping bags, straightening things up, etc., eat breakfast, get dressed, deconnect the hookups, but *after* DW is done using them, hook up the TV/DVD in the car, etc. All of this I do myself while DW watches Sactotoddler. If we re lucky, we can be out by 11:00, but we re usually out around 11:30-12:00. It also doesn t help that all the NNC gang comes over and distracts us while we re trying to break down camp [;)][8D][:D]. It s time consuming, but it s worth it. It has to be worth it, because a new tow vehicle and hard-sides are nowhere in our near horizon. I just wish it didn t take so long. This is all true for setting up, too. But once we re all set up, I immediately kick back with a beer or two and I m happy as a clam.
Some of the NNC members are much faster than us at set up and breakdown, others are slower. We re usually not the last ones out of the campground, but it sure feels like it.
You know you re slow packing when tent campers in the site behind get out of the campground before you.

Oh Man, things have gotten THAT bad?
I gotta tell you, I don t know how you pack all that stuff in your Explorer and popup. I mean, this past trip I had to take out one of my second row captain s chairs *and* my rear bench and we were still packed solid. I don t store much in the popup (just one big bucket, my two tables, grill/stove and grey water containers in the shower area), but yours must have been packed solid...as well as your Explorer.
BTW, were you messin with the website yesterday?

NickLOL Dianne!
It is indeed a dull night here. Kids are asleep and Amy is at work making nice with parents at Back-to-school-night at the HS. Afterwards all the teachers go to the local bar for a drink, ha. Only one though since they all have to be back at work in the morning.
I m actually working too - writing 2 contracts and paying bills - , but have lots of time (obviously) to pummel the boards.
Btw, what s a book? J/k!
Lemony Snicket is in town reading from his next book on Monday and we are taking our oldest to meet him. He loves his books.

Oh man, does THAT sound familiar! When Karen was 2 and under, Mike would take her for 30-45 minutes while I worked on the inside, then I d take her for about an hour while Mike did everything else, only to come back and find C wood not even popped down yet. Gradually, we were able to work together while keeping an eye on her and Rebec. (No TV or video.) Not to mention having to put every single thing away in order to pop down. I hated how long things took to do.
First time we used the new trailer, I said " That s it???" both when we set up and broke camp. We were done almost instantly! Far less packing time at home too, since you can leave everything in your fully equipped home on wheels.
Quigs, are you totally in love with your new trailer too? Isn t it great to have bunks and a proper fridge, with freezer for ice cream? Since getting ours, we haven t needed to bring the cooler!
QuoteWe usually wake up around 8:00 A.M., dilly-dally around, start folding sheets, rolling up sleeping bags, straightening things up, etc., eat breakfast, get dressed, deconnect the hookups, but *after* DW is done using them, hook up the TV/DVD in the car, etc. All of this I do myself while DW watches Sactotoddler.

In case you forgot, we don t have a front storage trunk and our fold down sink blocks access to the main popup aisle. So we only have a smallish cube area to store stuff in the trailer for non-permanent-camper stuff. So, *everything* goes in the minivan. This includes all of our sterlite drawers (four plus a smaller one for canned goods) our cooler, two suitcases, cooler, stroller, sactodoggie, sactodoggies kennel, sactodoggies corral, baby gate, baby backpack, bucket of shoes, bucket of trailer essentials, plus the stuff you mentioned. Fortunately, taking out the seats offsets some of this weight. We re able to put our big bucket of blankets, towels, and sheets inside the trailer door.
QuoteNow Nick I can understand why you have so much stuff since you are now an official NNC chef extraordinaire, but Sacto, man what s up with all the stuff you bring, lol?! Pillows, bike helmets, warm jackets, and dry food is all we need to put in the TV.

Yeah, Champ s right. Buy a new TV and get the 6Quigs tricked out Niagara. Problem solved.
Now, I have a few issues here Mr. Man (or maybe it s with Mrs. Sacto.);
What in the bleep do you need 2 suitcases of stuff for when you have 4 sterilite drawers full of stuff!!!
Get rid of the doggie kennel and doggie pen. All you need is a rope tied around a tree!!
Good grief man, you will survive 72 hrs. in the " wilderness" just fine, lol. Although I bet if the Donner Party had a baby gate they would have survived.
Just ribbin you dude, but damn you sure bring a lot for 2 1/2 days.

Hey Man, when I went to Del Valle solo, I brought hardly anything, just beer clothes, the dog and a can o chili. I mooched chicken off Surfcal. The dog travels in his kennel because I don t want him being a projectile in an accident. Also keeps his dog hair from getting all over the place. Besides, you ever traveled with an unrestrained Border Collie? He s like a freakin Yo-Yo darting from one side of the car to the other. He never calms down unless he s in the kennel. Sometimes we just leave him home. But yes, your issue (and mine) is with Mrs. Sacto. I can only fit half my clothes in one of the bins, we put some towels & stuff in the other, Mrs. Sacto s clothes in another, and food in another. Suitcases have my warm clothes in one, and Mrs.Sacto s clothes and Sactotoddler s clothes and diapers (LOTS of them) and supplies. But to answer your question...yes, we overpack, but we re always comfortable [:D][8D]. As you all know, if mama ain t happy, ain t nobody happy. So I just deal [;)][:D].
New tow vehicle? No way. Mrs. Sacto is a minivan mom. I ain t gettin a new tow vehicle just to buy Quigs Niagara. [:D]. Nice try though. A Starcraft 2409 is what I would want and could still tow (I ve done the weight calculations), but then again, that wouldn t help me with my " all morning long breakdown and pack up routine."
I also like having no payments on either of our cars or the popup [:D][:)] Next TV will probably be another minivan...just one with more power. Although we did fine going over Echo Summit.

Very little room in my PU (as you well know) ... 2 coolers, 3 duffle bags and a 14 gal tote of food in the burb. A few things in the PU ~ only the light stuff!! We re pushing our weight rating big time!! [: (]
DH keeps the kids out of my way and I can be packed up and ready to go in about an hour. Most of it gets done the night before ...
Oh yea ~ and we leave the dog at home! Shelties are about as calm in the car as border collies!

Got a nudder soccer game this morning, for DD #2. Couple nights ago, DD#1 got to play forward for her team, and scored a goal. She s always been a defender, so this was the first time in her short 4-year carreer that s happened. Can you say this was a *Big Deal* for her? I ve been doing my best to be a good Soccer Dad, but it s hard to make it to every weeknight game while working long hours in a brown truck. Glad I got to see this one.... it s one of those moments every parent cherishes. [:D]
Keep you fingers crossed, the ocean s been calm all week. Gunna try and nab some ab tomorrow. Anybody want a taste?

NickWell, we had some real EXCITEMENT around here last night! Apparently, some bad guy with a gun came through my street, and from 11:30 pm until 2:30 am there were highway patrolmen, sheriffs, a K9 unit, and a helicopter searching the street and my backyard. They even tore down a portion of my fence to let the police dog through to follow the scent. They came to the conclusion that he hopped my side fence into the backyard and then hopped the fence into the yard behind mine. I kept expecting to hear the Cops theme song at any minute (Bad boys, bad boys...whatcha gunna do...) Throughout the whole thing, they had a girl handcuffed out there on the street who was yelling all the while about how she was pistol whipped and robbed and had her car stolen by the bad guy.....I don t think they believed her story.

Heading for bedding so we can be well rested when we meet Kelly for lunch. She s go baby sitters all lined up. Funny, who told her that I needed a baby sitter. It must have been Georgeanne or my sister.
Anyway, I ll try to be good so people don t feel the need to line up baby sitters in the future.

Thanks for the nomination, but now that Kelly is an Official NNC member, she should receive that honor. She s met more PUT members from around the country than anyone but Dave I think. Had she been able to attend the Eastern Rally, I think she would have met just about everone who is active on the Board.
There for I nominate her as the Official NNC 2003 Friendship Ambassador. This first ever meeting was her doing when she recognized that we were traveling through the Twin Cities, she contacted us to set up the meeting.
Oh, we are thinking of having a " Rally Around Kelly" rally when she gets out to California. What do you think?

Kelly s coming to California?! When? If so, the rally should be called the " Kelly s Coming to Cali" Rally!

SactoCampers[font="comic sans ms"]" Kelly s Coming to Cali" Rally! ??? My that has a nice ring to it! Don t think I ve ever had a rally named after me! LOL
That just begs the question (mini-poll??) ~ when is the best time to camp in California??
... and would it count if I flew out and begged a bunk end from somebody? My poor TV and PU seem to have a rough time on road trips lately!! [;)]

Syntax error. We don t understand that question. [;)] The best time to camp in California is......ANYTIME!
Actually, it depends where you want to go:
1.) The Sierras? Late spring, summer, early fall
2.) The Coast? Year round, though reservations can be difficult between Memorial Day and Labor Day that are within a day s driving distance of the major metro areas.
3.) With NNC/SCC? Whenever we have a rally planned (at least once a month between the two clubs).
Others can chime in here.

...and I m heading to the beach in two weeks [:D]. Red Neff Barchetta is meeting us there for the day and we ll be going out to dinner (most likely. I ll also be planting dirty diapers in his spare tire well.)
There s also a SCC rally in December right after Christmas in Santa Barbara County.
Last year we went camping in the Bay Area in January and while it was a little chilly, being from Minnesota you probably would have been in shorts and t-shirt.
Of course our June mega rally will be at Pismo Beach with direct access to the ocean! THAT one I m looking forward to! The Sactocampers LOVE the BEACH!
Look at our past rallies page on the NNC website and you can get a general feel for the weather.

Ab DiverKelly, Kelly, Kelly,
" When s the best time to camp in CA?" .
Where do you live anyway?! Probably someplace where they would elect somebody who appeared in " Predator" as their Governor. Oh wait, forget I said that. Hee, hee. How embarrassing that would be.
Come on out! As far as the spare bunk end goes, we ve got a king size one that is usually empty as our oldest thinks sleeping on the couch is cooler than a giant bed all to himself! Although I should probably check with my DW first, lol.
You could come out next week with your Twins (baseball team that is) if they beat the Yankee s. You could watch them lose to the A s.
Whoohoo!! Go A s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On to Boston.

Memorial day weekend,
4th of July
Labor Day weekend
They all tend to get a bit crowded,
But any other time is perfect.
We will be camping on both Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends this year[8D]
Will you be bringing them along too?
We do have an empty couch, and the dinette can sleep a few more.
And isn t there a Mister Kelly you should be bringing along too????

KellyThe best time to camp in California? Oh dear, I see you live in a cold state in which you have a beginning and ending to your camping seasons.
Chiming in from Southern California, yes, we have a Christmas-New Year Rally as well as one in mid-November, plus one coming up later this month, and I think there s another one planned in February or March... and that s just the Southern half of the state!
So, heck, pick any time of the year, let us know when you ll be out this way, and we ll show you how honorable an honorable member is treated. [:)]

See, it s a historical fact that California Camping is great in the winter. So, since you got a whole season of snow ahead of you, with nothing to do.... think about what you d like to see and when you d like to see it. Then we ll *build* you the Kelly in Cali Rally of your choice!
It s up to you... Redwoods, beaches, the Sierras, the desert, quite backwoods ponds, white-water rafting, etc., etc., yadda, yadda, yadda, the list is endless..... so take your pick now, and then take a pic when you arrive.
See, now wasn t that easy?[:D]
And don t worry about choosing something we don t like, cuz if we don t like your choice, we ll just tell you the place was all booked up and to try something else. [;)]

Cottonwooder...from the Chronicles of NNC
...and so as the fame of the NNC spread, people from cold climes and from far off places began flying to California to camp in mid winter. Dispite the odd politics of the state, they found the pop-up-camping-populace friendly, happy and mostly sane. Rarely did they see the famed one ended popup, but stories of it abounded and the sagas of its existence continued to spread thru out the country.

Ab DiverHello Kelly:
You should just pull a Dave, fly in, rent a car and come to a rally. (However, Dave did have arrangements for a cabover). One of us is surely able to host you. I know the hybrid folks have lots of room. Personally, I have a one-sided popup which keeps out the riff-raffs, not that you re a riff-raff.
It s just in case one of the guys get too drunk at the campfire and can t stumble back to their camper, at least my camper always has a No Vacancy sign.
On the question of when it is a good time to camp in California, it s easier to ask when it is NOT a good time.
a) During a Gubernatorial Recall. Television reports are too entertaining to miss. It s the ultimate reality program and everyone gets to vote who gets kicked out.
b) During El Nino years. The winters could whip up a storm within days and turn your popup bunkends into a kite.
c) Anytime the temperature hits below 55 degrees Farenheit, it s too cold. Lucky for us, that doesn t happen too often.
Well, congratulations on your designation as the 2003 Friendship Ambassador of NNC, it is a vaulted position.
And to everyone else, if you don t like the news, go out there and make some of your own.

Although, they would make a perfect couple if you ask me. But you need some subtleness in your approach.

But, when all the hot air has been thoroughly bandied about, I must agree: our own Ambassador to the Intertidal Zone would make quite the catch for any lucky lady who happens to be fishing.

When we got back to d-h s house ... I did it again! Out of the road in a few tries (big steep ditches on either side and a tighter turn) and a little wiggle-waggling up the drive (it s a long one) ~ but she s back where she belongs. Yay Me!

Of course, the blond Surfer-Babes zipping along the sidewalks on rollerblades tend to get some attention as well. [;)]

CottonwooderKelly--Congratulations on your backing up accomplishment. We could have used you in Grand Rapids where our kids cleaned out half of the garage so we can keep our PU in there for the week. Only trouble, I had to back the PU straight for a long distance then into the garage at least half way.
Made it...so we have a shared accomplishment.

CottonwooderSo Father Dave, have you set a date for Kelly s wedding, lol?
Kelly,
Great job of backing in the PU!!!! I ve become fairly good at it, but this past March Otter/Dianne arrived late one night to a rally and she asked me to back in her PU for her. Well, with about 18 NNC ers yelling directions it only took me 8 tries, haha. Sometimes you nail it and other times you jacknife the damn thing. Weird.
Sorry to hear about the Twins. Hope the A s don t meet that same fate tomorrow afternoon. They can t do anything easy!

CottonwooderWe are charging ahead in that poll. Mike & Brian deserve all the credit though.
We met up with Holly & Pete here in town yesterday. All we can say is that NNC ers are the friendliest people! We met them at the local Harvest Fair. We were going to have them come to the house, but Amy won tix on Friday morning so we thought; " Let s take Holly & Pete" . Well, between the overcast weather (they surely brought with them) and the measley $2.00 inch of wine that they were calling a " taste" we wished we had indeed had them over to the house. Oh well, next time. We sure enjoyed their company and hopefully they felt the same.
Great wedding pic s. btw Holly! Our youngest still wants to show off his room to you and Pete, lol.

pcmomFound myself in Target today after the boys and I wasted more than enough time (we thought) at Best Buy, Office Depot, and Sport Mart while Amy was in Target. Of course we realized immediately we should have also went into Costco and Borders as well, but too late. She spotted us as we were checking to see if she was nearing the checkouts, lol. Anyway, I found a 1500 watt ceramic heater made by Holmes for $9.99. It s the smallest one they had. Really compact little cube. I figure for the price it might just take the chill out of the air while we are all still awake watching a movie or playing a game. We love the furnace (especially now that we have mastered the ventilation trick so your throat isn t dry in the morning), but this should work well when we don t want to have the loud furnace kick on while we re still awake. Should help keep the furnace from kicking on as often during the night also. Help conserve LP too. Although with 2 tanks we ve never even come close to running out. This thing is really small and should store without a problem in the cabinet under the couch as that cabinet is half empty right now. Of course the only time we could use this little heater is when we have hook-up s.
Speaking of the furnace, I ordered from Atwood (maker of the furnace), a " directional box" which will direct the hot air into the center of the PU instead of under the couch like it does now where the hot air gets trapped and only heats the front bunk properly. Got the idea from Chuck S. Here it is;

pcmomJeff,
I think that you ll like having a ceramic heater. We use ours frequently and effectively. So much so that the only time we use the gas furnace is in the morning to warm up the camper quickly. And in some " near to freezing temperatures" it will come on even though the termostat is pushed way to the left...and if the temperature in the camper is colder than " way to the left" I want the furnace to come on.

I agree with TOS. I think you ll like the ceramic heater. I don t know if our Vornado is ceramic or not, I just know I love how quiet it is compared to the furnace. Keeps us toasty warm too. I think the Tahoe rally was as cold as we ve taken it and while it was on most of the night, we were plenty warm.

Austin,
Good luck on Saturday.
Amy and Jeff,
We did have a good time at the Harvest Fair...despite the lack of pottery and a decent poor of wine!....oh yeah and the 7-11 did not sell me a winning lottery ticket! It was worth 10 times the price of admission LOL!

OC CampersHi all! After being grounded all summer for one reason or another (went camping only 5 times this year up till August), the floodgates have opened and we are camping fools now. [:D]
This new trailer, being bigger and with plenty of space to store everything, is so much easier and nicer to use. Also, we joined Thousand Trails, which is more RV resorts than " camping" , so we re having a blast. Have been to two TTrails resorts so far, and are planning a 5-night/3-resort trip later this month when school is out for the week. (Heading up north to NNC territory.) We ve enjoyed pools, mini golf, recreation rooms, kid crafts, candy bar bingo, entertainment, etc. To give you an idea of the size of the pool at the resort where we spent this past weekend, its capacity is 665!!! There s no charge at all for staying there or for any of these amenities beyond the annual dues and astronomical sign-up fee, and certainly no extra charges for dogs and kids, which we really hated everywhere else. Mike loves seeing " Amount Due: $0" on reservation confirmations! Check-out time was non-existent at one place and 4pm at the other we ve been to, and it s soooo nice not to have to rush out by noon on departure day.
Well, I m babbling, but we re having such a blast. Off to vote in Circus California now. See ya! [:)]

Yeah, I ve gotten a kick out of that for a while now. Also Madlyn s spelling of the city where Arnold s new mansion is located. Although having the screen name " Clueless in Sacremento" with the location spelled wrong is pretty clever, and funny.
I bet the governor s mansion will be a step down for Mr. & Mrs. Shriver btw.
Pretty funny about PONTIAC. My friend had a Firebird that he had a custom decal made up to read; Fire Chicken.

pcmomCottonwooder,
Great to hear you joined Thousand Trails. Did you just join Thousand Trails or NACO/Thousand Trails. We are members of NACO/Thousand Trails. Some of our favorite places to go, besides Yosemite Lakes, are Lake of the Springs and Snowflower here in No. CA. If you are only a Thousand Trails member than you can t go to Lake of the Springs. Lake Minden is only about a half hour from our house, but it is NOT one of the nicer resorts, pretty boring. We think it is used mostly for people going from one resort to the next and use it as a stop-over. So let us know when you plan to come this way and maybe we can meet you there. Belonging to NACO/TT is why we don t go to all of the PU rallies because what you pay for a few nights with them pays for half of our yearly dues. I wish you would have let us know you were planning to join becuase you could have " name dropped" and we would have received a discount on our yearly dues, oh well. The Quigs were also looking in to joining, but now with the new TV and half-trailer, they may be waiting. We haven t been to any of the resorts in So. CA yet, but someday. We were very lucky when we got our membership because my Dad had the membership for Thousand Trails since the early 80 s so when they got too old to use it anymore, we transferred it to my name. So we got it just for the transfer fee, and, since he was over the required " age" (I can t remember if it is 55 or 65 when they lock in your yearly dues) his yearly dues were locked in and they could only raise ours a certain percentage when it was transferred. Needless to say, we got it pretty cheap. Then, last year we upgraded to the full system and now belong to NACO/TT, RPI, etc. With this deal we can have a family member and a parent be full members for only $15 each, per year. So my son can use the resorts and my Dad can rent one of the trailers or use the Hostel, etc. since they no longer have a trailer. We thought that was a pretty good deal. Anyway, enough babbling. Glad you are a member and I m sure you will enjoy it as much as we enjoy ours.

Calstate361Hi Joan,
We joined the whole shebang, so we have RPI and Reserve America memberships too. May drop that part if we find ourselves not using them.
Lake Minden is exactly where we re going during the week of October 20th! Yosemite is still full, so we decided on Lake Minden. We re looking forward to seeing the farm/barn there. The brochure says kids can help feed the animals, which Rebec would love. Being too far to drive in one shot (for the kids), we re stopping at San Benito on our way up, then Morgan Hill on our way back. I hear that Snowflower has skiing in winter. Only cross-country, or actual downhill also? Unfortunately, those north of Lake Minden are beyond our reach. What s the southernmost preserve you ve been to?
You re not kidding about day-to-day costs equalling annual dues. Our 3-day Gold Rush Rally cost the same as 3 months worth of TTing! We added up all our camping trips going back to January 02. $25 here n there added up to over $1,000, so suddenly TT doesn t seem expensive!
Yes, you re very lucky to have gotten in with only the transfer fee. We probably couldn t have used a name as referral since we were there solely via a mailed invitation for a free weekend that included the sales pitch. You re not going to believe this, but in December we were GIVEN a free membership, with no transfer fee to pay, only annual dues. We turned it down because we didn t think we would use it enough. If we still had Cottonwood, we d turn it down again. That s how uncomfortable and frustrating that small thing was for us. (With the table up, you had about 2x5 feet of empty floor space.) It s a whole new ballgame now with a trailer that has space, and we re so eager to go, go, go! [:D]

You might not want to get your hopes up too high for Lake Minden. I was there last October (for a free weekend) and they had removed all the barn animals for the winter. They were getting the barn ready for a Halloween party.
I have also heard it isn t one of the better TT parks. However, on the flip side we had a good time and that is what it is all about.[:)]
QuoteLake Minden is exactly where we re going during the week of October 20th! Yosemite is still full, so we decided on Lake Minden. We re looking forward to seeing the farm/barn there. The brochure says kids can help feed the animals, which Rebec would love.

CottonwooderPatricia (Cottonwooder). Since Lake Minden is only a half hour from our house, look us up in the Membership list and give us a call and maybe we can run out and visit after I get off work. I m on my way out the door and won t be back on the boards until I get back to work on Tuesday so remind me to give you directions (or landmarks) and areas/sites, in the park, to pick when you get there. The farthest south we have been was Turtle Beach which was by the Lakewook Resort Water Park/Slides. I can t remember if it was Manteca or Merced (DUH). Anyway that preserve was flodded out several years ago and NACO/TT is still fighting over it. It s not sure if they will rebuild or just find another area. Well, on our way to the rally tomorrow. Talk to you next week.

CottonwooderPatricia -
What I m really glad to hear is that you guys are getting out more. Which is all that really matters. You have a terrific new TT that is perfect for your family. Although it s not perfect for your side yard, lol.
I m sorry that the Cottonwood was such a downer for you. Sounds like you bought your 1st. PU instead of your 2nd. PU. We got lucky and bought the perfect PU for us. The Utah truly does have a ton of floor space. The same as a Bayside actually. We also have so much storage space that we still have empty places. Guess I better head over to Camping World after this, ha.
Have fun with all of the camping you ve got planned!

Jeff, I noticed at the June rally that all the Colemans were models that were bigger or fancier than C wood. Probably had we bought one of those instead, we d still happily have it now and joined Thousand Trails when it was given to us. Mike didn t even realize how frustrated he was with C wood during those last few months. I popped into your PU and Tracy s (Tracy&David), and they were very spacious in comparison.
Space aside, it s really nice to not have to pop up and down. Pull in, plug in, and voila! I take my hat off to the Gs for their trek across the country, popping up and down the entire way. Reminds me of that up-down-up-down TrailBlazer ad at the top of these boards earlier this year. [:D]
QuoteYou might not want to get your hopes up too high for Lake Minden.Hmm, now you have me wondering about this. Never mind, we can always leave a day early if we don t like it, and head for an extra day at Morgan Hill. [:D] I love the freedom of doing things like this. We showed up at Soledad Canyon on Friday saying that we d like to stay an extra day, and it was taken care of right there at the entrance. Love it!

[link=http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&productId=194165&catalogId=10107&langId=-1]BAL tire chock[/link]
I can then play " chock chucking" with 2 of the silly plastic yellow one s that came with the PU.
Funny how when we get older we pick out our own presents, lol.
The guy who s in the warehouse/shop next to mine tent camps (by car, not backpacking). He had been asking me about our outside shower PahaQue teepee tent as he wants one for a solar shower tent. Amy has always been the one to set it up since she set it up the first time we used it and by chance always has since. Anyway, I was waiting for a delivery (wouldn t that be cool if Dave or Allen drove up!) before heading off to work and grabbed it from the PU. What a piece of cake! I had it up in less than 10 minutes and broke it down completely in about 5 minutes. We got it with the PU so I never have scrutinized its worth since it was part of the PU package. Amy leaves the garment shelf attached at all times (this is where you would put a solar bag of water) which is suspended from the ceiling which helps to have it ready to go once fully set-up.
Modern camping sure is simplified isn t it? I remember our huge canvas tent in the 70 s that took up the entire trunk and turned the car into a low rider! Had 2 poles INSIDE the tent that we weren t allowed to touch or roll into.

CottonwooderHolly - LOL! Yes, she ordered it. She ll even write the check for the Visa bill next month. That s how we do it when buying each other gifts. It is kind of silly to buy a spouse a gift though isn t it? At least in regards to the money, not the act. Since it gets paid for with a joint bank account (usually).
Mike -
I still don t mind the Lynx levelers and the Stop-N-Chock for the low side tire. I only have 4 Lynx levelers and have never needed more than that. Although, if and when I do get a BAL leveler at least I know I can store it on top of the water heater perfectly and cleanly. Since the grease & bulkiness are the 2 complaints (& the only one s) people have about it.
Btw, the BAL chock doesn t need any tools, wrenches, etc... You just hand tighten it. It is all one piece. Nothing to get lost. I ve already got the perfect spot for it in a corner of the front trunk.
Have a great day everyone!

Red neff BarchettaJeff,
I don t think the grease is really a problem. Mine came with a sh*$ load of grease on the screw but I wiped it all off. I don t think there is that much friction that you need all that grease. I give mine a light spray of litho once in a while but wipe off the extra.

Good to hear you don t have to keep all that grease on there. I might just get one in the future. Although I seriously don t mind the Lynx at this point.
Have you been in any caves lately?
You should read " Digger" by Joseph Flynn. It s a quick read about tunnels. " Rambo meets the Great Escape."
Holly -
Actually he s pretty calm about the whole thing. Amy & I are the one s who are nervous, lol. He can even count to 20 in Korean! He only had to know how to count to 10, but he doubled it on his own.
Wish we could come up on Saturday night, but there is a big ceremony and dinner with all of the Black belts in the area that evening.
Btw, did I tell you he wants a ride in your car?

Btw, you should check out Casini Ranch while you re there. Wright s Beach cg is 6 miles from Casini Ranch and Bodega Dunes is 12 miles from Casini Ranch.
Both Wright s Beach and Bodega Dunes were full for this w/e as of 1:30 this afternoon. Doran Beach still had some sites open. This info. was taken from the entrance signs on Hwy. 1 as I drove past.

Our oldest DS is now a 1st. degree Black belt!
Amy and I are wiped out, lol.
The stuff he had to do was amazing. For example, he had to do the Yellow belt form backwards lying on his back with his shoulders touching the floor at all times in 20 seconds without prior notice!! He then had to spar 2 - 2nd. degree Black belts at the same time and score a point on each before each of them scored 3 points on him. Etc...
I was crying like a baby at the awards ceremony, ha.
What a terrific kid!
Then everyone went to dinner where most of the parents had a drink or 2, lol.
Sorry if this is boring anyone, but I had to brag a little.
Have a great rest of the w/e!

Seriously, you ve every right to be proud, Jeff, and so does he. Give him a big congratulatory handshake and a pat on the back for all of us.

Ab DiverSo we went down to Petaluma to a corn maze and pumpkin patch today and had a great time.
Anyway, while there we decided to drive through the Petaluma KOA (advertised as " North San Francisco" , lol!) right across the street. There was an entrance gate to the " asphalt cg" so I parked and went into the little store to let them know I just wanted to drive through and to get a gate code. People often ask us about this KOA and we have only heard very negative things, but have never seen the place ourselves so thought since we were so close we d check it out before advising for or against it next time. I grabbed 2 drinks from the fridge and went up to the counter. The teenager behind the counter says " You can t drive through, but for $6.00 you can walk through" . Well, I put the drinks back and just left shaking my head and laughing. What a joke! I can understand (I guess) if they want to keep the traffic down inside, but to try and charge us for walking through?! What an eye-opener! We are (or maybe " were" ) considering some KOA s for quick one night stops on our trip to Utah next summer. I ll keep researching.

Ca-girlHave a question for you Northern folks. As part of our upcoming 6-night adventure, we need to drive from San Benito in Paicines up to Lake Minden in Nicolaus. Do you think the traffic on Sunday would be bad? We re trying to decide if we should make that trip on Sunday or Monday. Am open to all suggestions, as we don t know the area at all. Thanks!

Neff- We stayed at the KOA at the Reno Hilton and had horrible experience. The campground was so bright at night that I sat outside and read my PUT magazine with no other light source. It was lit up like a store parking lot. The pop-ups canvas sides are not very good at blocking out the light. I actually ended up using the bunk-end covers on the inside to block out the light. I d be looking for somewhere else to stay, too.
QuoteWe are (or maybe " were" ) considering some KOA s for quick one night stops on our trip to Utah next summer.

Ab DiverReno too, huh?
That s about my perception of KOA s alright.
We would never stay at the Petaluma KOA anyway, but we wanted to see for ourselves so we d have first-hand knowledge next time someone asked us if they should stay there. Well, now I have a concrete answer.
We still might stay at 1 or 2 on our trip, but ONLY for 1-nighter s where all we want to do is sleep and get back on the road in the morning.
Our young Black belt is crossing his fingers tonight because backstage passes are being awarded tomorrow morning for the Friday night G3 (guitar heaven with Satriani, Vai, & Malmsteen) show he and I are going to. Can t wait! They started the tour last week and the reviews are all 10 s. Each band plays a 45 minute set and then they all jam together (4 guitarists, 2 drummers, 2 bassists, & 1 keyboardist) for the 4th 45 minute set. They are jamming and improvising this G3 tour to " Keep On Rockin In The Free World" (Neil Young), " Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix), " Voodoo Child" (Jimi again), & La Grange (ZZ Top).
Anyway, he s met Joe Satriani and his band (with pictures) the last 2 times we ve seem him, so I think he thinks that s going to happen every show, lol. We met the guys in Rush last year too so I know he thinks that s normal. What luck he has. I ve been seeing Rush for 24 years and last year was the first time I met them (his first time)!
What a long week this is gonna be!

Ab DiverKOA s were where we used to head many years ago when we were doing road trips while car camping. They were cheap, clean, and friendly. Now they have become expensive, clean, and generally impersonal.
If $40 - $50 a night is affordable then go for it. But there are at least two motels near the Petaluma KOA that are cheaper than the KOA is for a family of 4.
If we all decide to do something like this we should pick a day we can all go and all show up together LOL.
Turduken - turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken. That enough protein for you Michelle?

Ab DiverJeff (Red-Neff),
We have never stayed in a KOA, but I have never heard anything good about them. I guess you use KOA only if nothing else is available. KOA s are worse than those " paved/cemented" RV parks. Most KOA are more expensive than most of the places we have been with NNC. Also, tell Mr. Black-Belt congratulations for us. That is quite an accomplishment.
Patricia (Cottonwooder),
If you are re-thinking going to Lake Minden (which I recommend you do) then just drive another 1.5 hrs. more and go to Lake of the Springs. You won t be dissappointed, like I think you would be with Lake Minden. Lake Minden doesn t have any activities going on (especially this late in the season) unless you are there for a weekend when they have the power boat races on the Lake. Then you are surrounded by noisey non-members and the place is packed. We have been there a few times (only because it is so close to our house) when we wanted to get away for just a few days. If you still go to Lake Minden, I recommend coming through Sacramento via I-5. Depending on what time you make it through downtown, the traffic is not bad on a Sunday, but on a Monday it starts getting thick about 3-4:00 p.m. It isn t as bad as the LA area, but it is bumper-to-bumper for about 2-3 miles through the downtown area because there are 3 on-ramps in a short distance where all the traffic from the State Workers are getting onto the freeway. Once you get through that the traffice thins out. Take I-5 to Hwy. 99-70 toward Marysville.
Directions to Lake Minden: After getting through downtown Sacramento, via I-5, you will see the highway curve to the left toward the Airport, stay to your right and follow the signs to Hwy 99-70 toward Marysville. Once you get past that split, you will go through 2 lights. After the second light, it will only be less than 5 minutes to the Marcum Road, where you want to make a left turn. There is a white NACO/TT sign on the right at the left turn. The sign is not real easy to see, but the green street sign is. There is also a good sized left turn lane for you. From there, follow the road, it is not very far from the highway. If you miss the turn and get to the flashing red light in East Nicholas, you went too far. Turn around and go back a short way.
If you decide to go to Lake of the Springs, I know you will love this one, we do. It is one of the nicer NACO/TT resorts that we have been to. They always have activities going on during the week and always a bunch of things for the kids to do. Although this late in the season, I don t know. The lodge lookes over the lake and it is really pretty. When you come into the Resort the sites higher up are kind of sparse for trees because a fire came through there years ago. Once you get dowe the big hill, it gets nicer. We have camped twice in Section B. I believe Section H has full hook-ups, but there aren t very many of them and they always seem to be full. Just drive around and pick your site. We have experienced having deer walk through or close to our campsite. We have seen wild Turkey, squirls, and all kinds of birds, including some quail. Like I said, we really do like this resort.
Directions to Lake of the Springs: Follow the directions for Lake Minden, except keep driving past the turn-off and head toward Marysville. Once you get into Marysville, stay in the right lanes because you will make some zig-zags to get to Hwy 20/Marysville Road. Once out of town, you will drive quit a distance, but watch for the brown signs directing you to Collins Lake. You will turn left at the Collins Lake sign. There is a gas station on the corner. (If you watch closely, you will see NACO/TT signes at each of these turns.) You will then travel a while (Note: watch for a fruit stand on your right; we make a point of stopping there because they have the best tomatoes.) and turn right toward Oregon House (DO NOT go straight toward Dobbins) and go through Browns Valley. Then you travel a bit more and turn left on Frenchtown Road (follow signs toward Brownsville), then turn left into the Resort. The directions in the Directory are confusing and don t tell you much. I really think the drive is longer than the miles listed in the Directory. Just keep your eyes open for the NAC0/TT signs. The signs are white like the one you see for Lake Minden, except the big wooden sign for the Resort entrance. Note: Section A is closer, maybe walking distance, to the Play Area, Tennis Courts, Volleyball Court, Picnic Area, etc.
Gook Luck. Hope you decide to go to Lake of the Springs because it will be a much more pleasant experience.
I have a suggestion if you would like to do like we do: we keep the resort maps that they give you when you check in and put them in the Directory where the resort is listed. They come in handy for addresses and telephone numbers and future reference. We mark the sites that look nice.
Well, I better get back to work.

As far as I m concerned, it doesn t matter. You ve organized your website so that the pictures from each rally are separated. So on the website, I just link to that rally page and it will open up in a new browser. There s no need for you to switch where you post your pictures if you are comfortable with it.

I had to come home,(to work), and will head over the hill again when the older kids come home from school, and same again tomorrow, Friday, but Saturday & Sunday will be spent, relaxing by the beach[8D].
Margaret & her mother and the 2 youngest are over there enjoying the wonderful October weather.
It was in the 70 s over there today[:D]

Kevin,

We didn't take that many photos, but here are a few that show how much of a parking lot this place is.
But it is well worth it to be that close to the beach and ocean.
Weather was just perfect, and apart from having to dry camp, and having to steal the batteries from the Niagara, we had a great time.

For those of you interested, I have just posted the Banana Liqueur recipe in the Recipe Forum under Joans Liqueurs. A couple of you asked for it. If you printed any of the other liqueur recipes before they changed everything, this recipe includes some pointers so you might want to check it out anyway.

Quote from: 6QuigsWell,Kev, next time you want to camp at *the beach*, come on up to our neck of the woods and stay at Navarro Beach, at the western end of Hwy 128. I gar-run-tee you won't be able to touch the Class A next door, and the four most active Quigs will have about 10 acres of sand to call their own, plus a nice calm river estuary on their right hand side. It's still dry camping, but you won't have to fight the crowds. Plus, you might even get a local visitor or two. :D

Joan, a thousand apologies for not calling you and Sal. I printed out your e-mails with the phone numbers... and left them by the computer instead of bringing the sheet with us! Ugh, I am so sorry!
We only got home yesterday. Guess what? We LOVE Lake Minden!!! Stayed an extra day there. Were you up in the full hook-up area that was so horrible? We lucked out with one of the best sites in the W/E area: the lake behind us and the field in front. Beautiful! We had a blast on the paddleboats, and the girls went wading with a duck in the "beach" area. Played mini golf too. I got a kick out of watching the trucks "zoom" around the lake, and an even bigger kick being able to out-walk them!
Don't know when we'll be able to go back, what with it being so far, but we'll definitely go back one day. :-)

*********************************
On the other hand, you'd then hold a new record. Since you would have actually *attended* a rally, you would no longer be a mere Ambassador, but a full member in good standing with all the rights and privileges thereof (of which there are many, but since you're only an Ambassador, we can't tell you... yet! ;) )
And as a full member, you'd then hold the record for the longest distance traveled to a rally. Dave's visit to last June's Mega-Rally notwithstanding, since he arrived in Stealth Mode and surprised almost all of us. You, on the other hand, will have almost a year's preparation and publicity, so we can think up an *Appropriate* welcome for you. (Bwha-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
So unless Birol happens to drop by from the outer reaches of the Canadian wilderness, you're likely to hold that title for a long, long time. :D

BTW-- They say things come in three's...
Two weeks ago I made an emergancy trip with DD#1. We happened to be at a local fast-food joint. Just as our food was handed to us, all of a sudden she couldn't see (literally), her pupils were fixed and dilated, and her lips turned blue. No reaction from her eyes as I passed my hand in front of her face. Scared the Holy H*ll out of me, let me tell you that. I dropped the food, carried her to my truck, and broke a few laws racing her to the ER. Blood O2, sugar, all blood work was OK, even a cat-scan showed everything was fine, except her BP was dangerously low. The docs were kinda scratching their heads until a saline drip brought her back around.Turns out she was dehydrated from all the heat we'd had lately, as well as the soccer game the day before. And I know she had been drinking lots of fluids, cuz I had seen her. She'd just never "caught up" to what she'd been losing. Scary stuff.
So yesterday, DD#2 cuts her hand pretty good on, of all things, a large bird cage. She'd bumped into it at a friend's house. An errant edge sliced the back of her hand open as neatly as a razor. Another trip to the ER, and the first stitches either of our girls have ever needed for an injury. Since my extremely active little girl usually appears to be the Poster Child for Child Abuse due to all the bruises she gets on her legs, I think we've done pretty good to make it this far without needing stitches before. :D
Ok, so.... all's currently well, but that's two trips for two DD's in two weeks-- and now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Ab Diver-- who's hoping he can count his own trip to the ER this summer and figure his family's in the clear so we can start camping again.

Installed the air diverter in the furnace so the PU gets heated evenly and more efficiently.
Put cord stops/clasps on the 2 LP vinyl cover cords. No more tying knots lying on my back under the PU tongue!
Made 2 wood dowels to hold down the pilot light buttons on the fridge and WH. Thanks to Scott/SCCS for this idea!

Nick called me last minute to offer me an extra site at Pfeiffer State Park in Big Sur that became available when his one of his brothers had to back out.
It was beautiful down there and the Nickoley family hospitality was as warm as the weather. Ahh, got another beautuful campground under my belt, one of CA. State Park's premium locations. If you folks ever get the chance to make reservations there (pretty competitive), go for it, it's a remarkable State Park.
We got a River site and the weather was about as perfect as one can ever hope, lots of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the redwoods as they reach for the heavens. Then we went to Nepenthe, a very cool spot just about 15 minutes south of Pfeiffer where we drank the afternoon away and then watched the sunset in silence and spiritual reverence with about 50 other people and in the end, just when you saw the little sliver of light disappear below the horizon, the place erupted in enthusiastic and appreciative applause. Maybe we were just celebrating being toasted.
All in all, a great time. And I am sorry to say that I actually have no stories to tell about Nick since he had no mishaps, which is pretty unusual for him. Perhaps he is saving it for FALLing Turkeys.
Nick, thanks for a great weekend. I appreciate the invite and your family's kindness.

Patricia (Cottonwooder), I wondered what happened to you. Oh well sh-- happens.
When we are at Lake Minden we usually park over on the other side of the lake, I think it is Section B or C? Anyway, when we have been there they didn't have much going on and without any kids, we didn't do any of the paddle boat stuff and the miniture golf because Sal's legs wouldn't let him do much of anything except relax around the trailer. Now that his legs are better, maybe we will do more walking, etc. Let us know next time you are in this area and maybe we can camp with you. We will do the same when we come down your way. Glad you had fun. Most of the NACO/TT members consider Lake Minden the "stop over place" going from one resort to the next. Then again, you enjoyed it because you don't know any better. :p No, really, they are all nice, just some nicer than others. AND, it is all what you make it. It could be the worst place on the earth, but as long as you make it fun, that's all that counts.
Again, glad you had a nice time.
Dave (AbDiver), Sorry to read about your girls. Hope they are well on their way to recovery. It's great that kids bounce back so quickly. Let's hope that the third incident doesn't happen. Hope all is well.

Does anyone need a second pocket mount so you can move your prodigy from one vehicle to another. If so, let me know and I will drop it in the mail for you.

I could do with it.
When we got the new Hybrid, I had to remove the pocket mount bracket and prodigy from the Safari, and mount it in the Silverado.
The wiring is still there in the Safari, so it would be nice to have the bracket.
No rush on it, just keep it in your Trailer, and if we ever attend a rally together, you can give it to me.

Quote from: Ca-girlAfter reading this in TOS s post on another thread, I realized that the So/Cal folks are a perfect group to ask the question Kevin and I have been asking each other for months.....Hey Tania,
We re planning to surpise the girls next Christmas morning with a packed trailer and tickets to Disneyland (shhhh...don t say anything....it s a SURPRISE). Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any clues or tips on where to get tickets to the Park for the best price (I ve heard they are pretty cheap through the military), and if anyone has any good (or particularly BAD) parks to stay (or NOT stay) in while we re there or while we re on the way. We plan to stop over for one night between here (Sacramento) and there.
I d appreciate the help!! If you d rather, you can email me directly....I m on the handy-dandy " list" from Georgeanne. [:D]
you posted the above on page 69 of this thread,
havent heard back from you if this is still in your plans.
We are planning a trip to Disneyland the week before Christmas, and then making it to Lake Chachuma the weekend after Christmas.
Still looking for ideas, where to camp around Aneheim

For Disneyland tickets:
My sister works for the Orange County Employees Association, so they get good prices through them. Just got off the phone with her, if you call her she'll get the tickets for you. You can either pick them up or she'll mail them to you.
Her phone number is 714-227-8451. That's her cell phone number, but feel free to call her. ATT is losing money on her hand-over-fist with their $99.00 unlimited access program.
Can't quote prices because they will change depending on dates. But this is what is said at the oceamember.org website:
Disneyland
Join in on the fun at the Disneyland Resorts! You can enjoy Disney

I posted a few more camping options for you under the CCachuma rally section. I agree with TOS, Featherly Park now knowen as Canyon RV might be your best bet and the closest to D-land. If you have any other questions just let me know. We only live about 8 miles from Disneyland.

I also made reservations for our stay at a park called the Anaheim Resort. They have full hookups (including cable) and a free shuttle to and from the park. Since we'll be there a week, I didn't want to mess around with partial hook-ups, and I liked the idea of cable TV for the evenings.
We'll be arriving December 26 and leaving January 1. The only thing left to do now is make the reservations for the half-way spot on the way down and on the way back. So......if any of you SoCal types are going to be around while we're in the area, let me know!!

P.S. Please don't forget that this is a SURPRISE for our kids....they know NOTHING! (And I want to keep it that way until they open the HUGE presents with the smaller presents in them with the smaller presents in them, etc. etc. until they get to the tiny tickets in the tiny box on Christmas morning....hee hee hee)

It's a bummer that this place has died down like it has. I'm predicting 2 - 3 day lapses between any NNC posts once the up-coming rally has passed and the next one happens at the end of February, '04.
I guess everything changes. Just sort of a bummer since this was such a hot-bed of activity for a while there.

Don't know about the rest, but we'll definitely be renewing.
Why do things die down? Human nature. Watch a kid at Christmas with his or her favorite toy. Can't put it down for the first week. Always around for the first week. Lots of playing the first month. Time for a new toy after the first year.
We're all just kids at heart and things do change.
But there is a huge difference between diminished participation and demise.
See you next year.

Which leads me to my next question: How many of you are going to renew your board membership in January? It seems like only a handful are regular posters here now.
Complete guesses here, but I think it's a combo. of the ever-changing software/forums here (I think there's been 3 versions this year already), this current one not being very eye-catching or user friendly, everyone having busy lives, not many PU related discussions anymore (in General or Mr. Fix It areas), the general silliness (or rabble rousing) and camaraderie of NNC dying down, winter is approaching (although this certainly didn't happen last winter), and of course PUT going to a pay site (which I completely understand why Dave had to do).
Again, those are just some thoughts about the current stale state of things.
As far as membership renewal, I seriously don't mind the $30.00 or whatever. The chats, fun, and goofiness here are more than worth it, but with only a handful of people checking in anymore, well. Also, since we have both the NNC and Yahoo sites for keeping in touch and up-to-date regarding rally's and such I think I'll most likely pass and keep a w/e's worth of dry camping site fee's in my pocket.
It's all good. Like I said earlier, change is always happening and that's the neat thing about life.
One thing I am certain about is how much fun I have camping with everyone here, so I know that won't change. Unless of course, none of you want to camp with me, lol.
I am just as much a part of this as anyone. Hopefully my work is about to explode to a new level as I'm trying a few new things. My free time to bs should diminish quite a bit if all goes as planned. All in the never ending quest to have unlimited free time later in life (hopefully sooner than later).
Glad you had a great time camping this w/e!

I pop in here and there when I can. I don't know if I'll be able to update the website for this upcoming rally, so hopefully Nick can pick up those duties this time (?). Great to hear about little Hunter taking his first steps.
In case you haven't read, we have to bow out of the Pismo rally because Mrs. Sacto is pregnant(!) and her due date is.....June 24th!
I will be here when the membership expires, no doubt about that. Hopefully with the free magazine subscription with Arvee membership activity will pick up. If not, that's fine with me too.
I have upgraded my netzero account to their hi-speed product...kind of a pseudo hi-speed connection. Seems to be working real well compared to their standard dial-up service though, and only $14.95/month. JPEG image quality suffers somewhat, but not too bad, and you can select full image quality on any picture you want and the settings are adjustable. I'm much happier surfing at home, now. It used to drag big time.

Quote from: Red neff BarchettaOh and Tania, nobody is a late-comer here. All you need to do is jump in and join the party which you and your awesome family have done.Is this the guy who bought the last known Sun Valley? Where are his posts? I don't see him as a member. Hasn't posted at Yahoo NNC, either. Good to see a new person interested, though.:) Wait 'till Surfcal hazes him.
The latest example is Zymomyz. Already RR'ing before they even get to a rally.

I'm home from work today because Sactotoddler was vomiting this morning and Mrs. Sacto's nausea is worse this time around than the first, so she wanted me home to help.
You probably hadn't read it because I just posted it over in the 2004 Western Rally forum. ;)

Oh, Sacto, not that simply driving through on the 5 amounts to much "sightseeing," but FWIW Sacramento looks lovely from the freeway. I expected it to be a bigger, more populated, ugly city, but it looks like the total opposite. Such a breath of fresh air compared to driving through Los Angeles!
BTW, what's up with the Channel 10 news in your area? Are they in cahoots with the newspaper? In seemingly every other story, they not only mention the "Sacramento Bee", but keep showing the masthead. I've never before seen TV news so tied in with a newspaper.

You know, I've never really noticed that, probably because I watch KCRA 3. Mark Finan gives a pretty good weather report. I don't like Channel 10's Elissa Lynn. Never trust a weatherperson who tries to give you a 7-day forecast.

Brian & Jennifer -
Congratulations!! :) :)
That is terrific news! Can't wait to meet BabySacto II.
Nice to see you posting, but understand your busy life right now.
Yes, Zymomyz has the last Sun Valley to roll off the assembly line. You'll find his posts in the November rally thread.
Dave -
I bought another Ford E250 cargo van 2 weeks ago. If the 4 of you can fit in the 2 seats it just might work for you and all of your gear. :D
Speaking of that van, the dealer brought it up from a lot in Richmond and had it on his lot a whole 2 hrs.. The factory paperwork was still on the passenger seat when I arrived to look at it. Which I did before I went in to his office.
He, he, I saw the price they paid the Richmond dealer for it and now had a bargaining tool. Got it for a great price and it only had 63 miles and the contractors shelving, cabinets, and cage door behind the seats already installed. It's a 2003, but can be counted as a new vehicle on my taxes since it's never been owned by a private party. Things went well for me that day to say the least!

How's this for coincidence;
Back in HS when I was learning really important things such as how to play the beer chugging dice game of "mexicali" (after we would get bored of "quarters") we would yell out "Ronnie Lott" when a 42 was rolled.
Well, here's the weird part -
Tonight during halftime of the Monday night game they are retiring some guys jersey.
Get this, his name is Ronnie Lott!
Weird huh?

Hey Jeff/Neff,
Guess you are right about the activity on the board. I think that the weather change and upcoming holidays have people distracted. Don't give up on us quiet folks yet!!!!!!!
The Turner (adults) headed out to Petaluma last Saturday night for the Y & T Concert at Mystic Theater. Great show, took lots of pictures, drank lots of beer and acted like a teenager.
Georganne and Rita would have been proud of me-I was a really HAHA Sister- like ha ha you drank too much!!!!

He has his two solo CD's on the web site AND a NEW Y & T CD is coming out in two weeks-yes I already preordered it. I have both of the solo CD's and I listen to them all the time. Great rock/bluesy (not too wild) to listen to at work. A friend who got to preview the new CD says it has songs that should have come out a long time ago.
At the show Dave's wife does the tshirt sales and she is so nice, no snotty people there, friendly and approachable. Not like the new bands.
Check out the web site (a guy close by in Fairfield hosts the site)-there are some samples of Dave's solo tracks and links to great info and photos. //www.meniketti.com.
I am so bummed that we can't go this weekend-I keep following the posts and wishing-BUT family stuff Sat. and DH is wrapping up at his job and going to work at a new company in a few weeks so things are really up in the air around here.
Hey-are you bringing a helmet out to Pismo in June-DH has two vroom-vrooms (as little Em says) so he'll want some adult male to ride like an idiot, oops I mean fast, with him. I just putt putt around. Shhhh-we will rent them out to everyone else. :J ;) ;)

BTW, I *am* a turbo diesel, 6 speed kind of guy. Methinks the perfect family tow rig is an F-450. Someday, if we ever move up/over/around to a large fifth-wheel, I wouldn't consider anything less as an acceptable tow rig.
Now, anybody seen my parachute? Our Astro (wife's rig) has a class I hitch on the back, and I need to tow a couple feather-pillows home from the store with my utility trailer.

Well, the registration bill for the TV arrived last Thursday so I waited to see what the Terminator would do this Monday.
After I deducted 2/3 off of the VLF line of my bill I saved $341.33! I paid $243.67 (first time I ever remember sending the DMV cents btw) instead of $585.00. A savings of just over 58%.
Now we'll see where he raises taxes to make up for the $4,000,000,000.00 (yes, billion) he just removed to uphold his campaign promise. Probably cost me more than $341.33, lol!
Just found this interesting is all.

Yeah, right... after they hold on to the full amount for a year to collect interest on it. Funny, I haven't heard anything about the state cutting paychecks to elected officials to help defray the high cost of government. Ok, sure, I'm a diver... but I ain't holding my breath for that one.

Ok, sure, I'm a diver... but I ain't holding my breath for that one.Mr. Swartzie did say in his first press conference that he will not be taking a salary, it will go back into the General Fund. It would give me the "BIG ONE" if any of the other Legislators give up some of their salary. Having worked for the State for 32 years, it would be a first. Although some Legislatores did give back 5% (WOW!) of their salary last year. Don't know if that is still in effect. I guess we will all just have to wait and see.
The only paychecks they seem to cut are the State Employees checks. I have already lost 5% plus one day of pay each month. I can't afford much more, as I'm sure a lot of other State Employees can't either. It just strikes me funny every time the State gets into this situation, they try to balance the budget on the Employee's backs when Employee salaries are only 1% of the total state budget!
BTW, did you get the Brine Recipe from the Recipe Forum? It's posted there.

Ok, gotta go help my little one watch "Finding Nemo". Since she's not feeling well, she needs a Daddy's arm to rest on. So we'll watch together, and maybe climb Mount Wannahawkaloogy together. Hehehehe...that's just fun to say, three times fast.
But then again, so is saying "Sharkbait, ooh-ha-ha!" :D

Kelly-- hehehehe. Yeah, that was a good line. But I still think Crush deserves his own show. Something along the lines of Teenage Surfer Ninja Seaturtles... Hardshell Heroes with a Heart, fighting ocean crime while riding the endless summer current in search of that perfect wave. Hmmm... think it'll float?
Hey, y'all hold the fort down for us this weekend, 'kay? We'll see ya after the rally. Hope everyone that's fighting *the bug* gets well soon.

Just like when I had to wait to open my BAL chock for my birthday as it sat here in the house for a 2 weeks I will have to wait for a month to open my BAL Leveler for Christmas!
I'm picking it up at the Camping World store in Fairfield this Wednesday on my way to Sacramento. She made me swear not to open it. Not even one corner of the box.
She sure knows how to torture me!!

Holy guacamole, did you all know that they've been fighting 'n' feuding over there? People leaving, storming off in a huff, etc. Or perhaps that should be "fluff," a term I'd never even heard of until reading through there half an hour ago.

Jeff,
In the interest of science (and make sure you use those exact words when you explain it to Amy) I believe you should experiment to see if the Bal Leveler can lift the side of your bed high enough to displace Amy's center of gravity sufficiently out of her body so that the force of gravity overcomes inertia in such a manner that she'll rotate in a horizontal position over a vertical plane until she plummets to a new surface that is perpendicular to the earth's gravitational pull so that she comes to rest in a stationary, but certainly un-rested position. Then to test and retest the theory that the incline is inclined to work on all bodies situated in a similar position, you and the boys can join in the fun.
Just remember, this was all done "in the interest of science." I can't stress the importance of that point enough.

I was reading those posts the other day and these thoughts rolled through my head.
- Thank goodness NNC and SCC is tolerant of "fluff".
- Of the 2,500 posts in NCC, what percentage are "fluff"?
- Don't these people who are complaining about "fluff" realize that all of their complaints are "fluff".
Oh well...that's why there are different communities. Let each seek the place they are happy. I am happy here.

Oh yea, that's probably better than "first thing in the morning" which is what I was thinking. You've probably never been woken up with a rousing chorus of "Roll Out the Barrel" which is a tradition on my-side-of-the-family. Which is to say it hasn't carried over to the gsmx2 family.
However you can ask Georgeanne about "flying bedsheets" an almost as annoying means of declaring, "time to get up."

Ohhhhhhhhhhh--
Which group of campers is fun as can be?
Nick-Neff-Cough-ers!
Exciting adventures at each new Rally!

A fine brew in your mug and great food on your dish!

I bought a turkey fryer. After tasting the turkeys cooked that way during our feast, it's like you can't go back.
I ordered it from Target as 6Quigs had recommended. This way, no matter who goes or doesn't go, there's a good chance that someone from Nick-Neff-Cough will have a turkey fryer. I know Nick or Sammyslave will be compelled to get one.
And, it's not just turkey you can cook in there, even huge chunks of meat, oysters, tofurkey, mountain lions and pieces of furniture. Yes, it's a new NNC tradition, a fried turkey per rally.
Surfcal
P.S. Kelly, just keep checking in and contributing. We like having you around and don't go scampering away just because of Rabble Rousing. If it weren't for RRing, this group would have been bored and not as tightly knitted. Who knows, we might come out with another videotape of our shenanigans.

Hope everybody's T-Day was fun, safe, and filled with family love.
Heard from a friend that *they* (whoever the heck "they" are) were expecting the most accident-prone activity of the holiday to be deep-frying a turkey. Just the thought causes me to cringe. I can certainly understand the danger, but can attest that given a certain amount of common sense and sober adult supervision, even serving such a dish to a group filled with children is no more dangerous than frying bacon. In other words, treat a pot full of hot oil with all the respect it deserves, keep a clear work area around the cooker, and keep children, pets, and Budweiser-blasted Uncle Billy-Bob the h*ll away.
BTW... the new pup is growing like a weed and quickly tying itself up with our heartstrings. Crate training has commenced, and hurts both our feelings, but she's gotta learn to accept it so she can travel with us on camping trips. Looks like we'll be giving all the other NNC camp mascots another team player for the Canine Olympics at the rallies.
Ab Diver--- who thinks a certain amount of "fluff" is not only a good thing, but necessary to keep things comfortable. After all, I fluff my pillow every night.

Ray-- so you've joined the ranks. Cool. Just imagine how many of Ralph's fries we can make at the same time now. But the deep-fried furniture aspect... I gotta admit I hadn't even considered the possibilities..... Fruitwoods sound the most appealing.
Anyone for a slice of deep-fried Pecan Pie-safe? ;)

Why, oh why, were you folks posting this morning? Were you not part of the insanity that hit the stores before the sun came up? :eek:
This year I didn't set my alarm for 6am, and only got up when I got up and left the house whenever I felt like leaving the house. Still made a killing, have just hidden Christmas presents away from the girls, and am ready to head back out again! :D
Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving!
Dave, now that Max (a SCCamper-er) is half grown, ______ (name?) is now our newest NCC pup. Can't wait to see him/her!

Her. Was "Abby", but the girls decided at the last moment to *officially* name her "Tawny". It fits... that's her color. She's a pound pup-- supposedly half lab, half boxer. Full of spunk, and the family cats are walking around on pins and needles. Funniest moment yet: Stormy, the black cat, was looking at the rain outside the sliding glass door, trying to decide if it was worth asking to go outside. She turned around only to find the pup had walked up behind her and was sniffing her butt. The look of revulsion on that cat's face was priceless. She instantaneously exploded in a screaming flash of fur and spittle, swatted the pup on the nose, and *boinged* straight up into the air, landing on a lamp cabinet, where she sat growling and grumbling about the state of the world in general (and butt-sniffing puppies in particular) for over 10 minutes. Tawny thought that was kinda fun, and wanted Stormy to come down and play some more, so she was bounding and bouncing around directly under the cat as only an uncoordinated 7-week-old puppy can, trying to entice Stormy back down. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my recliner.
After I wiped the tears from my ears, I removed the pup from the cat's air space. I figured if Tawny played with matches any longer she was gunna get burned, big time.

Dave, Tawny sounds adorable. Don't you just love these cat dog interactions?
Angle drives me to tears at least once a day, but she offers up innumerable occasions to laugh. One of the grandgirls and I went to a second hand store and found several stuffed animals for the dogs to play with..the 18 inch Banana is our favorite!
Tonia, I spent the afternoon loooking for the train gizmo.. No luck at KayB toys or Toys R us. I'll check camper world next. I loved that thing and we' play train more often if we had all the rules and all the fun.
Maybe I should sick Cottonwooder on it, she's the shopper!!!!

Just returned from Roseville.
Hope everyone had a terrfific Thanksgiving!
Dave - I love the SpongeCough song!! I'll have to teach CWB that version.
Listened to "The concert for George" (Harrison that is) on the way home tonight on 96.9 out of Sac.. Might just have to get that cd. What a great song writer he was. He didn't write it, but some of the Python crew did "The Lumberjack Song" that night at the show. Excellent!

Ok everyone. I need to level with you all, but stop me if I start to get chocked up;
I am the proud new owner of a BAL Leveler ($45.00 right now at Camping World!).
So I no longer need my Chock-N-Stop.
If any NNC'ers who use Lynx leveling blocks want a Lynx "Stop-N-Chock"
http://www.lynxlevelers.com/new.html
just say the word and it's all yours at the next rally we attend together.
All I ask for is (what else?) a 6-pack of SNPA.
This thing works really well and even has a PUT sticker on it! I bought it from the PUT store last year right after the Del Valle rally.

I want either a 6'er of SNPA or something (beer if they bottle it, or a pint glass or 2) from the "21'st Amendment".
Wait, I've got it. Make that 2 full to the top pint glasses of their ale. Frosty and still carbonated. No spilling or tasting any either! All while towing your rig to Olema. :D
Btw, I'm keeping my 4 Lynx leveling blocks since they fit perfectly in my stepper door compartment. Never know when you might need them.

However, I do believe you missed a key point in my ealier post:
QuoteGo out and BUY yourself a Binford 3000 ... yadda, yadda, yaddaYou see, the opportunity to go out and buy a new tool and *blame it on someone else* is a long cherished and understood principle of manhood here in Smalltown, USA. Sophistimicated big-city folk like you would never need stoop to such devious devices, hence your missunderstanding of this rural right of passage. Don't worry, I'll explanatiate it all to you at the next rally. After a couple shots and a bottle of brewski, it'll make perfect sense. Trust me.;)
Jeff, I hearby ammend my previous post. Give the chock to Ray (along with the hardwood floor if you so wish), then buy the tool and blame it on me. Don't worry, I can take the heat. That's what friends are for, Buddy.

Tawny sounds soo cute!
Re: crating. Angel is the first dog we ever crated and it is fantasic. It took a few night so whining on and off and she would much rather sleep on the bed, a habit she got intowhile camping, but she goes in her crate andsleeps all night. I never have to worry about where she is and what she is chewing. She never soils it either. I understand there is atrick to having the right size crate. If it is too big they will soil in one iend and sleep in the other. If it is just big enough for sleeping they will not soil in it. You can put a temporary divider in a large kennel to accomplish this. Of Course Tawny is a lot younger and her bladder size may need to be taken into consideration.
Can't wait to see her. Hope she travels well. Car riding is another place where I really like the kennel. Angel is all over me when I am driving if I don't kennel her.
Give her a hug for me.

They must not be "laid back" enough like us California folk.
Or maybe it's because they have to consider things like end of winter, start of mosquito season, "tornado alley", interstate tariffs, and language barriers if you go too far north or south of the 35th latitude.

Hi Kelly! Nice to see you dropping in. :)
(grabs the NNC bullhorn)
Attention -
January is just around the bend. Someone get a January rally going! Come on Cough'ers! The DOW & NASDAQ are up (if ever so slightly) even. Life is good.
Here's a NNC-rally rally-cry as a month is in danger of being skipped over;
D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
-thinks hard-
Otter: Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let's do it.
Bluto: LET'S DO IT!

Quote from: Red neff BarchettaI just accidentally ventured out beyond the NNC area of PUT and noticed that the eastern folks still HAVE NOT chosen/agreed upon a place or date for their one and only rally!We're already assembling a Labor & Delivery team for "SactoBun" (to be scheduled either before, or after, but not during potlucks, of course), and the Easterners haven't even settled on a place/date yet? I think that little detail needs to be worked out before the photography gauntlet can be thrown down, LOL! (Which anyone would retract after taking a look at TOS' new camera!)

We have to be careful or we're going to become "the" NNC wagonmasters, lol.
How about the w/e of January 23 - 25?
I've always wanted to check out Mt. Diablo SP in Danville;
http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=517
&
http://www.reserveamerica.com/jsp/commonpage.jsp?goto=/usa/ca/mtdi/newindex.html
,but it's dry camping which I know doesn't go over well with everyone here so maybe I'll try that on my own sometime. Unless we want to give it a go?
There's also San Francisco RV Park in Pacifica;
http://www.sanfranciscorvresort.com
,but I'm worried about wind being it's right on the ocean. Maybe Cough can chime in here with Pacifica wind conditions. I hate serious wind and the PU! That's about the only condition I don't like to pop-up in. I hear it's almost all asphalt, but might be just the ticket in January. "CA Camping" gives it an 8 which is pretty high for an RV park in that book.
Any other thoughts? Anyone?

You guys have truly gone to the dark side with a TT AND "no dry camping". :(
Heck, a TT holds much more fresh water than a PU and I've met your DH and he seems like he'd have no problems with batteries.
You're missing all the amazingly beautiful cg's in our state! If you guys were up here I'd make you come along with us, lol.
You guys should seriously consider a 1000 watt generator to keep your batteries charged up, run your microwave, coffee maker, etc.... Your cg options would then be limitless!
Sorry, it won't run your a/c though. :D

Tried dry camping in C'wood once just to see if it was as bad as I thought it would be. Yup! So am willing to skip all the beauty I know I'm missing. Mike and Rebec are dying to go back to the redwoods. Next summer they'll take the tent and go, with Karen and I happily at home with luxuries like electricity and running water. :D

Speaking of dark side, and after reading posts this past year here at PUT about the openness of PUs, here's something I don't understand: 9 times out of 10 when I see a PU at a campground, most (if not all) of its windows are zipped up. Befuddles me. I figure if you're going to close yourself in anyway, may as well have a wardrobe, cabinets, and a proper fridge covering up those windows! :p

First thing we do in the morning is open curtains and unzip the bunk flaps (at least half way down) to let the fresh air through.
Although the bunk flaps stayed closed until 10:30 a.m. at Casini. Those were some cold mornings!
More light is why I also did the clear window mod. in my PU door. Zymomyz just did it to his PU as well.

Jeff,
I've wanted to try Mt. Diablo too. Another option would be Memorial in San Mateo. Its in the redwoods and a friend of ours said its thier favorite place to camp. Another option is a campground recomended by CWB in the campground forum is Marina Dunes RV Park. Its a bit expensive but we may be able to get a group rate. Looks like a nice campground. Maybe if CWB sees this thread he can make more comment about it.

Looks like Marina Dunes is near Monterey (which we are going to visit for the day during the May rally). A bit too far south for a quick 2-night rally in January.
Mike & I were thinking something between Sunnyvale & Santa Rosa. Something on his side of the S. F./Oakland bridges. It's starting to become a January tradition.

I know we missed it last year, but everyone said it was a nice place.
Margaret stayed at Marina in Monterey, and she said it was noisy, right beside the freeway, and didn't recommend we ever go back there.

Marina Dunes may be a little far for Jeff for a 2 dayer, but the Campground is very nice.....There are 2 sides to the CG and it is just off of hwy.1, but in the 10+ years that we have stayed there, it has never proved to be a problem for us. I will be going to Marina Dunes in January as I find the place quite clean and close to Monterey, one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Very few worthwhile CG's (SP's aside) are far from roadways, and the only option here would be in the ocean.
Anyone who has camped at Casa de Fruta has experienced the same noise level. And, if you would hold a rally there, what's the difference? Just asking.

If we could figure out something to do with the dogs , Rays fufu campground (Costanoa) on the coast near Santa Cruz would be fun and we all go on one of Lon's Elephant seal tours at Ano Nuevo. The only other campground near there isa Pescadero and it has no hook ups. Are there hook ups at Big Basin?
we'll have to think thisone thru for next year I guess.

Back from 2 days at Sugarbowl. What a great time! Definitely made up for the horrible traffic this evening. I went with some friends and we were skiing mad-dogs. It snowed off and on both days which scared off the crowds so we had no lift lines. Glad my oldest DS didn't come along this time as he would have been cold and miserable in a hurry. The employees are looking forward to this coming Monday as it's supposed to be a gorgeous day with all of this recent snow.
Anyway, you guys are cracking me up about Chabot, lol. I thought the general feeling was that it was in third place (from the bottom) behing Snug Harbor & Woodson Bridge. And Mike never even chimed in with any ideas, ha! And Ray won't even be home for the month of January, lol! Guess my 2 choices were whoppers huh? Well, I made reservations for Mt. Diablo on Friday morning (while cruising up to the snow), but I'll cancel them Monday morning and make Chabot reservations.
Sounds like we'll have a pretty good showing again which is all that matters to make a place fun with this group! Looking forward to it!! :)
Holly -
Pete's brew (Sudwerk Marzen lager) has become my second favorite. Good stuff! Too bad you were still recovering at Casini and couldn't have one then. Although I'm sure they are always in your fridge at home with the Petester.
Mmmm, tasty!

Several years ago I went through 2 intense weeks of training for 3Com (before Windows) and I had fried brain for quite a while. I was a back-up administrator. Now with the all the Windows stuff, I'm basically computer illiterate (it's been over 10 years - WHEW, I'm old!).

Quote from: NickI got some good news today at work. My brother/boss let me know they are sending me to school starting in February in order to get my MCSA. After I finish the last class in April I'll take the certification test and then take over all the IT for our company. The entire course is 20 days of class from 9:00am to 5:00pm so it will be pretty intense.
Mike--that's cool. You'll have to start dressing like a geek..you know wearing orange shirts or sweats all the time so people will know you aren't fashion conscious because you're a computer head.
That will be so cool. Maybe I'll start wearing shorts more in your honor.
Congrats...tag, you're IT.

Patricia/Cottonwooder -
I tried e-mail, etc..., but everything was returned.
I was wondering since you're a crafty type of person you might be able to sew up this problem I have;
I'm looking for a plastic storage bin (hopefully with a locking or latching lid) that measures 21" x 21" x 6" (deep). A little larger would work, but not much more.
The closest I have found so far is the Large Wreath Box (27" x 27" x 8") found on this page;
http://www.organizes-it.com/holiday.htm
Also, I only need one although I'm sure I could find a use for the second if I had to buy 2.
Thanks in advance for any help you might have!

Patricia -
I knew you could have helped me. I found myself near the store later today. The bin is for some hand tools in one of the vans at work. I needed it a specific size so it would fit on a shelf inside the lip of the shelf.
While I was there I also found a heavy duty canvas laundry bag (24" x 36" I think) on clearance for $5.99. My BAL leveler & BAL chock fit perfectly inside and it fits in the perfect spot in the front trunk of the PU.
Thanks anyway. I'm sure you know of every conceivable storage bin (with partitions, etc...) for your crafts & sewing stuff.

Neff, I have one word for you: ZAG. You may already be familiar with that black 'n' yellow line of toolboxes/storage containers. Their upright one on 2 wheels ("Mobile Work Center") is great, and only $25 at WalMart.
Re. my e-mail, even clicking on my name here brings up everything that works. And it shoots to my freebie Yahoo address. I tested it myself. Strange.
BTW, I noticed the "flogging a dead horse" thread, so went to take a look. The Easterners still haven't chosen a venue for their annual rally! We'd probably have the same problem if we tried to encompass several states. I wonder why they don't just break it down into their own individual states.
Did our Gold Rush Rally equal/surpass their 2003 turnout, with them coming from several states and us just coming from NNC? :D

listen to this one. The RV resort we are staying at over Christmas at Lake Havasu has the following rules:
All RVs must have a 3" sewage hookup. No RVs older than 10 years unless approved by management. Tents are prohibited.
NOVEMBER 1 - MARCH 31 - During this time, the Resort maintains an adult atmosphere. While children are welcome, their use of facilities may be somewhat restricted due to planned adult activities. Visiting children must have adult supervision at all times.
Excessive use of alcoholic beverages is prohibited.
What will we do for fun???

Probably good you'll be busy while you're there. If you try and get me to play an invigorating game of B-I-N-G-O at Chabot because you discovered that it keeps the mind sharp while you were at this old-folks, er RV haven then I'm going to have to shake you & Pete out of it. I also hope I don't see you 2 next with wrap-around sunglasses and loafers to ease the pain of your bunions, lol.
Please, please, while you're there shake up the management a bit with some rabble rousing by having more than 2 chairs outside of your rig. They'll come down on you and Pete faster than you can say "Lillian Gish".
Seriously, have a great and safe trip! Those are some crazy restrictions, especially having to get an over 10 year-old rig authorized to stay at their place. :eek: :)

You should have Brian inspect your mini-van to make sure you have the proper tire inflation and proper weight over your drive tire to ensure maximum accelaration while merging into traffic at 35 m.p.h.. As you accelarate in increments of 5 m.p.h., you then need to transfer weight from the floor of the third row seats towards the front row all while maintaining control of your vehicle.
Mini-vans are tricky and many people have turned into screaming soccer "sideline coaches" because of them. Think of your children! You're putting undue pressure on them at such a tender age. Sell your mini-van before you lose the love of your children. Besides, those sliding side entry doors scare me. They have to be shut with such force. :) :cool:

I was just RR'ing Brian as I saw he was briefly (ever so) online here. There are only a few of us still hanging on here so whenever one of the Cough'ers who have all but forgotten us pops in I have to give 'em the business as quick as I can. :D
Although I really do cringe whenever I watch one of those sliding doors getting slammed shut with little tender fingers nearby. :(

2;) . When you have 3 kids and a dog, the 4 door car just doesn't cut it.
Now I have to admit the Green monster (Astro Van) takes "the Hulk" to close the slider. The kids have gotten muscles in their arms closing the door. Our little Odyssey is also great. The "dual" sliders are a mommy's dream. Now if the Astro would just come out with 2 sliders. Don't get me wrong, I would love an SUV but we have to fit 2 cars in the garage due to parking issues:( plus I don't think the Odyssey could handle the Westlake very well.

What a spirited conversation. In fact, it almost deserves its own thread. Now, for as long as we've known Sactocampers, he's been championing the issue of minivans. In fact, minivans are more manicure friendly, helping preserve dainty fingernails. So yes, any support ya'll can throw Brian's way, let's help him out.
I remember last year, when he blew past that Nissan Xterra on the way up to his folks' house, that it was the highlight of his season. He talked about that for days. It was a victory of herculean proportions. A 4-wheel drive Nissan Exterra, outfitted with all sorts of pretentious racks, chassis lifted for high clearance and of course, deep grooved all-terrain tires and...pathetically stuck in the snow while the humble minivan plowed upwards unabated from a dead stop!
Because of that incident, I can only imagine Sacto driving down the freeway on a daily basis, beaming with pride, backed with confidence and any SUV within a two car vicinity can feel "the force."
He is, after all, the chosen one, the Jedi of minivans.
And as Paul Harvey says, "and, that's the rest of the story."

Mike -
How many mini-vans were smeared on Daves front grill when he arrived today? :D
Going to complete my outside carpet rear bumper storage tomorrow morning. The sad part is that I'll then be all out of improvements that I want to do to the PU. :(
My BAL Leveler is wrapped & under the tree so I can't even mess around with it. Amy was already unhappy with me getting my hands on it a few weeks ago to measure it for dimensions for its wheel pads and storage box (which are finished and waiting), lol. Better not push it so I'll leave it under the tree for 11 more days.

I just finished grouting my first ever tile floor in our garage entry/laundry area (42 square feet) & a small closet (6 s.f.) and had to tell someone.
Not as bad or scary as I imagined.
If anyone has been thinking about doing their own tile I say go for it. I guess my hardwood flooring knowledge helped a little bit, but not much. It's pretty straight forward and the tile saw (which I had never used before) was simple to operate.
Even used the PU's drill to screw down the "Hardibacker" underlayment board.
Total materials cost including tile saw rental was only $256.00. Also installed a new laundry cabinet (over the washer & dryer) that we found at Home Depot for $57.00.
I'll seal the grout (bought pre-sealed tiles) on Friday morning and replace the washer & dryer Friday afternoon. We achieved something rare around here this past Sunday. That is, for a few hrs. anyway every clothes hamper in the house was empty in anticipation of having no washer & dryer this week.
I wouldn't try any vertical surfaces (back-splashes or shower walls) or large areas like a kitchen, but this small area was definitely manageable.
We've now replaced every square inch of flooring in the house except the kitchen. :) The previous owner had a new kitchen floor installed to put the house on the market. We figure we'll let the kids trash it a few more years before replacing it. :D
Back to work (& making money) tomorrow. Hopefully the guys have done well without me these past 3 days.

One of our planned projects in the new house for 2004 is to tile the front porch. The builders left the concrete very stained and an eyesore. Yet the model has beautiful slate which really gives the house nice curb appeal.
I'll have the great Scott go over this with you Jeff since you are now a pro.

Holly & Gen -
I am by no means a tile expert now, but it did go very easily for me so I'd be happy to give you any tips I might have that might help you guys out.
Like how I bought the pre-mixed "thin-set" (the stuff you trowel on to set the tiles into) and it was only $3.00 more than the dry stuff you have to mix yourself.
Gen -
Yours will be a snap since you don't have old flooring to remove, baseboards to remove & replace, & hardibacker board to install. You probably just need to treat and/or rough up the concrete a bit and you're ready to go.
Well, I put a fan and a little space heater on the floor today to speed up the grout drying time and was able to seal the grout tonight (just finished a few minutes ago). Just have to replace the washer & dryer tomorrow and I'm completely finished! :)
The worst part was sealing the baseboards with Dap as it gets everywhere BUT the nail holes and between the top of the base & the wall. I hate that job! The guys and I all try and pass that along to each other at work with hardwood floors, lol.

http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa006&colID=9&articleID=00031B30-EB2F-1FD3-A7EA83414B7F012C
You can't read the entire article online so if Pete wants the rest let me know & I'll bring the magazine to Chabot.
I just saw the "yellow line" this past Monday while out to dinner (I don't watch much football or tv) and then read an article on it last night. Weird.
Weren't the Raiders playing a playoff game right down the hill on the Sunday of last years Chabot rally? From what I've heard I don't think that will be the case this year. :D
Btw, we're going to Sugarbowl next Tues. (23rd.) if you're interested.

You are so right. Everyday that PUT has been available and up, we've had a post. We broke our own streak, the longest consistent posting streak for PUT forums.
Anyway, well done for putting together that whole streak. It'll be another year before we break our own record.

Picture a very grumpy disoriented grizzly bear wearing his UPS browns sticking his head out of his cave. He is tired, sore, wet and after a ton of 12 hour days with 230 + stops on his truck (with no helper) he doesn't really care what kind of holiday you have. All he knows is that somewhere the sun is shining, people have families that they see on a daily basis, and people respect their elders (turning 50 in three weeks makes him wonder if he'll qualify as a junior elder).
Suddenly, he lets loose with a bloodcurdling scream. 'EVERYBODY POLKA!!!'. He doesn't know what it means - it just seemed right at the time.
Slowly he lumbers back into his brown cave. The world breathes a sigh of relief.
Feliz Navidad, Dave, from my brown house to yours.

BTW... the latest issue of "VIA" (the AAA travelers companion magazine) has a nice article about the elephant seals at Ano Nuevo. It mentioned the guided tours and the docents. I was thinking that would make a GREAT rally activity for somebody who.... heh-hem... happened to live nearby and might want to take a shot at wagonmastering at a nearby campground next spring (or whenever a docent might think the best time would be).
You wouldn't happen to know any docents, would you? Hint, hint. :D

"VIA" also arrived here today and I thought of Lon.
Well, we made it to Colfax around 7:30 this morning and decided that the driving snow & sleet would not be much fun for my DS' 4 hour ski lesson. Sadly, we turned around and came home. Oh well, at least I had the day off work. We'll try for SugarBowl again next week.
Ccachuma travelers have a great time!
Be safe everyone and Happy Holidays!!
I'm hoping for an empty airport(s) in a few days when we travel. Yeah right!
Have a safe trip to AZ Holly.
See some of you at Chabot!

My first attempt at a SN stout and I am pleased with it. I have some Celebration Ale in the fridge that I will work on tomorrow!
Tell you what, I'll meet you 2 G's in Vegas and we can convoy to CO. I'm P sure you U know where X to chime in. Although you could even wait 12 months before snagging a site and you'll still be 7 months early! :eek: :D
Happy Christmas camping!

You wouldn't happen to know any docents, would you? Hint, hint. :D[/QUOTE]
As a matter of fact........... and I understand that there are some animals there almost all the time. Camping is the problem. There are no E/W places and a place that doesn't allow dogs (bah humbug) and then the places get an hour or so away. I will check out one spot that says they RV and family camping spots. March is rally free at the moment. When is spring break this year?
Maybe we can do something then or in the summer.
I'll ask the docent as soon as he gets home..
Will miss you at Cachuma

I need to go find that issue, several people have mentioned it. Maybe it just hasn't come yet. Or I tossed it. We 'older' people do that sort of thing.

Well - that's over. Delivered all the left over Christmas packages today. Finally getting into a holiday mood. Should be ready for Christmas about the time my birthday comes around in two weeks. Working for Santa is a tough gig, no doubt about it.
Speaking of birthdays, I'm looking forward to this one as I get to be 50 for the very first time (or 39 for the 12th?). I know that some places start giving senior discounts for being 50 and I plan to take advantage of every one I can.
On a sadder note, I was deeply saddened by the crash of the REACH Life Flight helicopter in heavy weather near Ukiah. Good folks working hard to bail you out of a tough spot just like the medivacs in Viet Nam. I have always said a prayer for them each time I saw them - now I'll be praying for their families as well.
Best wishes to all for a wonderful new year and may you all be blessed beyond measure.

I think we should seriously consider participating if this happens!
Lake Havasu was great. Even the fancy campground with all the rules was great. The fishing was....well, you will have to ask Pete about that!

Sorry to keep everyone in suspense to what I've been up to ( :D ).
We just returned from a fun extended w/e in my absolute favorite city in southern CA.
San Diego that is. My in-laws live in one of the high-rises downtown which is about a 12 minute walk to the new ballpark (Padres) which opens next season. Having always been a suburbanite, tall building living is fascinating to me. Felt like I was in Hitchcock's "Rear Window". The pool & hot tub (& trees!) are on the 4th. floor! Walking the streets through the gas lamp area at night to dinner was a blast with all of the people and noises. Walked down to the piers and took the trolly to Old Town for some great mexican food. Went to the zoo - Amazing as always! It was funny because you could tell the Oakland Raider thugs/fans (our very own Pete'ster being the exception of course) who were in town for Sundays game against the Chargers. They walked around the zoo with snears on their faces. The San Diego paper had a picture of a Chargers fan on the front page on Monday who had been at the game. He and his girlfriend had signs pinned to them that said "Please don't stab me"! Apparently a Raider fan stabbed a Charger fan the last time they played in San Diego!! Crazy!
Arrived in Oakland to a downpour where we had to walk/run to our car at the furthermost point (of course (seemed like a nice bit of exercise when we arrived and it was sunny)) in the parking lot, lol.
I bought our 4 round trip tix back in August for $116.00 each. A guy who sat next to me yesterday paid $123.00 for a one-way ticket he bought last week!
Amazing how companies gouge us during the holidays.
Work was a bummer today. :(
I'm ready to camp though!! 17 days to go!!
Hope everyone is well and had safe travels!
Btw, if we don't get more of us sharing their dribble around here I'm going to quit! Which is what you all are hoping for anyways isn't it? ;)

Sorry about the absence of dribble around here Neff and everyone. I can only take so much of mod questions and then I am bored. If you have a one-sided trailer, it doesn't need that much mod, or at least, just half the effort.
It's the other guy that has the other end of my popup that really need to get crackin.' He has a lot of work to do. At least I got the wheels and the box part.

I don't want Jeff to quit, so I'll share some dribble.
I know that I need to follow my impulses. For weeks before going to Cachuma, I had a huge impulse to buy a long telephoto lens. There is a lot of wildlife in the area, especially if one rents a boat and goes to the far side of the lake. But between Christmas and such, I controlled my urges. I did buy a nice "low light" lens though.
So Sunday morning, SammySlave (a dribbleless member of NNC) and I go out before sunrise: he to go fishing; me to go shoot some photographs. He waits patiently while I stand on a hill with the lake framed between two trees and watch for the "first glint of sun" over the distant hills. We are treated to the sight of two osprey flying overhead with good-sized fish in their talons.
The sun glints; I shoot; we walk toward the car. En route Larry catches a wonderful site to our right. One Osprey is sitting on the top of a tree about 50-70 yards away with a freshly caught fish in its talons. The bird is facing into the raising sun, perfectly lighted and our view is unobstructed. Every now and again, the fish gasps and wiggles, so the Osprey must spread its wings to keep its balance. And there I stand with a camera, a tripod, and an 80mm equivilant lens that just won't allow me to capture anything useful. I walk to the car and get a pair of 10x binoculars, so at least Larry and I can get the wonderful images imbedded into our feeble brains.
For what its worth, G-Whiz forced me to buy a 75-300 lens yesterday. It should arrive tomorrow.
Thanks to G-Whiz's efforts, some of the other shots from that morning walk are here:

Well, I guess we've got to pay for stuff in our state somewhere. You knew the car tax would spring up in other places. This one just happens to affect Cough'ers.
I still say $25.00 a night for a family to camp is pretty darn cheap.

Seacliff State Park goes from $26 a night to $39 a night :eek:
It's going to make private campgrounds seem a lot more inviting.

I get mine for free but have to pay for the tags
since I'm disabled. Also I get into the state parks for half price.
This sure makes my Thousand Trails and all their affiliates
more of a value!
At least camping is not as expensive as other forms of receration for a family.

I also learned that after O. K., the "F-word" is the most versatile of all English words with a multitude of meanings.
None of this has anything to do with you of course. ;)

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a nice, relaxing (yea right) holiday. We are finally back from our big Disney trip, and we had a ball. Possibly the best part was watching the kids unwrap the gift. It was a total surprise. I split the tickets into two tiny gift bags, put each gift bag in a small box and wrapped it...put those into little bigger boxes and wrapped them....put those into bigger boxes....well, you get the point. On Christmas morning after unwrapping four boxes and a gift bag each, the girls found the tickets, and I told them I thought we could go next summer! They were still excited, but then Kevin walked over to open the blinds, and I said, "or.....since the trailer's parked outside....we could go right NOW!" The look of shock on those two little faces was priceless!
Disneyland was great, although very crowded. But, whenever we needed a break from the crowds, we could pop on over to California Adventure, and it was MUCH less crowded. Plus, since the RV Park we were staying in had a free shuttle back and forth every half hour or so, we could go home for lunch and a nap and then come back all rested up.
The winner of the "favorite ride" contest for all four of us was actually a roller coaster in California Adventure called "California Screamin". It was wild.....super fast and lots of twists and turns and even an upside down loop.
Here are some pictures:

Then I highly reccommend "A Walk In The Woods". You will be entertained & cracking up the whole book through. It is his most popular book by far and is a gem.
Only strange people like me read (& enjoy!) books about the English language. It's nothing like "A Walk In The Woods".

Quote from: 6QuigsTania,Very nice photos, and yes...you win the "best table at the Rainforest Cafe" contest, but WE win the "no rain at the park" contest! We lucked out with beautiful weather the whole week. So THERE! :p
looks like you almost had as much fun as we did ;)
We camped at Canyon RV park, 20 minutes drive away for 3 nights, and then stayed at the Coast Hotel for the next 3 nights. You can see the Coast hotel in the background of your Swinging Gondola photo! We were on the 6th floor.
Here's our photos

I think we had a nicer table than you in the Rainforest Cafe, well at least a better waitress, as she took our Photo ;)

What was his friend's name?? The one who ate all the Twinkies? I'm much more like him! LOL
Princess Bride AND A Walk In The Woods?! I am truly sorry that I will miss meeting you in June. :( Between you and Lori/Griffsmom (who is as big a Monty Python fan as I am & will be there) we could laugh ourselves silly.
His friend's name is Stephen Katz (had to thumb through my copy) and he was the classic side-kick for that journey.
Hope all is well with you! :)
Btw, I think your Terminator "actor"/governor did a little less damage than ours is about to do if he's not careful. Sure hope I'm wrong. :eek:

I hope you and G have plenty of fun with it.
Just be careful where you point it ;)
Tania,
We were thinking of you on Monday when it poured rain here in the bay area. Happy to hear you missed all the rain, and had a great time.

Now Scott, what you need is a nice tripod, preferably a 360 degrees ball head. Bogen tripods and heads for stills are really nice. With just one knob, you can level, stabilize and lock the shot in a matter of seconds, especially when you're shooting fast action shots and nature subjects.

Shooting NNCers hand-held isn't a big deal because we don't move too fast, but the rest of the world is a lot faster and a platform, such as a tripod will help a great deal.
Notice how I time the expenditures?

Those are very nice photos Scott. But, if they were taken with a ball-headed tripod (gets rid of blurs), it'd look even better. Trust me.
Now, how about this idea. In a few weeks, you get an online gallery of your masterpieces and you open it for viewing online, pick the time and date. Then, we can all attend online, with our wine, cheese and crackers while we all gather around in the chat room.
It'll be a virtual Scott Photography gallery presentation.

Mrs. Sacto is over her queasiness and food aversions, which is a good thing. I made a "to die for chili verde" when she was first pregnant, but now she won't touch it!:mad:
Sactotoddler is really excited about the baby. But she doesn't understand it still won't be here for a while.
Mrs. Sacto is painting the other room for the baby. We had to move our home office into our living room. Had to buy an armoire to fit all our computer stuff and I bought a laptop to save room. One of those Dell promotion thingies. It's great though, 13" screen and fits perfectly across the MINIVAN front seats!
We're going to the Negative Bouyancy II rally. It should be fun. We haven't been camping in a while.

Ok, we are "looking" at a new Starcraft, the 23TB, ok, not looking but trying to get approved for, ok, really crossing our fingers for. And then will make the mad scramble to sell Terry the Popout.
I am starting school in three weeks, Chapman University for my Masters. This I am sure will keep me very busy. At the rallies I will be the one in curled up in the chair with a textbook and pen.
We are looking forward to Olema, I love to go out and Whale Watch at the lighthouse and this will be Turner Tot's first trip out to do this. I am hoping this year I am in better shape to go up the 300 + stairs.
Neff-We caught the Pre-30th anniversary Y & T show in Santa Clara a few weeks ago and had a great time. Now DH is reminding me to get his Metallica tickets for March.
So Ray, that's what we're doing!!! :D

My DH said we won't be old if we some day get a Fifth Wheel, as long as it's a Toy Hauler!!!!! But would we still get to go to the NNC rallies???
So we will be H and HS Club but we would still be the most unique club with a member with a 1/2 Popup. :J And based on the view down Rally Alley last June, Popups are still the majority.
Hope to chat with you 'round the fire in February, we'll have a drink for my birthday that month!!
Sacto-A very belated congrats on the upcoming camping tot! Glad to hear the DH is feeling better. What a blessing little babies are!

Sorry to hear about Steve. I guess it was inevitable once he got to pursue his goal of being the grand pu-bah of YMCAs in Yakima. Life goes on; the characters just change.

How bad (or good) has PU fever gripped this family you ask.
A few years ago Amy & the boys did an underwater theme in the boys bathroom. Sharks, a submarine, jellyfish. deep sea divers, seaweed, etc... It really looked awesome and friends always enjoyed checking it out.
Well, we are currently having that bathroom remodeled and when it is completed Amy & the boys are going to do a new theme in there.
It's going to be an outdoors theme complete with a lake, animals, pine tree's (on the ceiling), mountains, & of course, the PU! Their rough drafts look great and I can't wait until they can get started.
Makes me want to be camping just thinking about it! :)

So Jeff, is Amy going to put in the blue or the green PolyMat in the newly redecorated bathroom? Rumor has it that it works much better than Astroturf.

Rumor has it that it works much better than Astroturf.That would look cool in green wouldn't it. Actually greenish (is that a color?) tiles with small grout lines are going in. With young boys you need a hard surfaced floor (that cleans up easily) around the toilet. Especially a 4 year-old boy who if distracted will turn in the direction of the distraction. :eek:
Scott
This tile floor I'm leaving up to the experts because there is the toilet hole to cut around as well as there is a 4" x 10" floor vent that lands smack dab in the center of a tile. I can make that cut with hardwood and a jigsaw, but have no idea how you do that with tile.
So, I'm about out the door off to work, in part to pay for the bathroom work and in part because I missed the last 1 1/2 days of work with the flu.

Ok, we are "looking" at a new Starcraft, the 23TB, ok, not looking but trying to get approved for, ok, really crossing our fingers for. And then will make the mad scramble to sell Terry the Popout.
I am starting school in three weeks, Chapman University for my Masters. This I am sure will keep me very busy. At the rallies I will be the one in curled up in the chair with a textbook and pen.
We are looking forward to Olema, I love to go out and Whale Watch at the lighthouse and this will be Turner Tot's first trip out to do this. I am hoping this year I am in better shape to go up the 300 + stairs.
Neff-We caught the Pre-30th anniversary Y & T show in Santa Clara a few weeks ago and had a great time. Now DH is reminding me to get his Metallica tickets for March.
So Ray, that's what we're doing!!! :D
I must have missed this post as this was posted on the day when I was at my worst with the flu.
"Pre-30th"? Never seen that before. Guess I can start celebrating my pre-40th birthdays now since there aren't many left, lol. I had no idea that Y&T has been around that long. This year will be Rush's 30th anniversary (they'll be announcing tour dates soon - yeah!). I probably got into Y&T in about 1982 or so. Weird that they had already been around for 8 years. I have the "Yesterday & Today" vinyl album collecting dust in the garage. That's like The J Geils band. They had already been around forever before they went mainstream with "Centerfold" and the rest of that album. I love there early bluesy stuff.
Mettalica - wow, you guys realy know how to rock! My ears can't handle grinding riffs like that anymore, lol. Btw, did you know that Joe Satriani taught James Hetfield (singer/rhythym guitar) how to play?
That is so cool that you are considering a Hybrid/Toy Hauler! :) How about this activity at the first rally after you get it -
We'll have a contest for the kids where you drop the ramp on the back of the rig and we let all the kids see how far they can jump their bikes into the living area. First one to land in the front bunk wins a case of kazoo's.
Sound good? :D

Joe also taught Greg Kihn (who I now hear is a dj in San Jose of all things) how to play.
Now an impressive student of Joe's is Steve Vai who although his music isn't as popular as Joe's just might be a tiny bit better as a player. If you're not familiar with Steve then you might know him from the movie "Crossroads".

Neff and all:
I went to a party the other night and met a guy who is one of the organizers of a growing music phenomenon in the Bay Area. It's called Two Day Town, a Lollapalooza type of gathering where from Friday thru Sunday, bands of all genres come to Del Valle (NNC site of the 2002 Halloween Rally) near Livermore and hold a all weekend concert.
He was looking for volunteers, people to work the show. The event is a grassroots movement and it has not yet received widespread publicity, thus, at this point, only a small group of folks come to enjoy the festivities.
Here's a link I found of the event 2 years ago. http://www.eastbaymusicscene.com/t_z/2day02.html
I was interested in attending this. You can camp at the site and the overhead is covered. If any of you are interested in attending this, let me know and I can set you up. This year, the event is on the last weekend of April, Friday the 24th thru Sunday the 26th.
If we get a small group going, it could be one of the most unique rallies ever and also an annual ritual.

Wow this is like the thread that won't die, started about a year ago... that must be some type of record in somebody's book.
Well just wanted to poke my face in and say howdy.
We added a new family member to our family yesterday. Nope didn't involve a third child and it most certainly did not mean getting a new tow rig, heck we up to 3 cars now thats enough for 2 drivers I think.
Yes the third member is a 11 month old Border Collie named Charlie, though we're trying to get the kids to agree to a name change. Doesn't seem fair for the dog to be the only non "S" name in the family. When we say the pup we quickly thought of Sacto and all of you. I hope the camping is going well for everyone, our first trip planned is May 5th, but we're hopnig to ge out as soon as the weather will allow.

No No No, not til it's been to a few rallies.
Some clown at one of the dealerships said to zip up the screens in the back, lower the ramp and use the screens for driving practice or to play wiffle ball against. GOSH, wonder why we aren't buying from there.
So my signature is changed, we went and looked, signed and are awaiting delivery. Must rush to get this other lovely trailer out of the driveway prior to pick up. New one has lots of the goodies, all option packages and tons more room. We did make sure to stay with the hybrid model (hard side too heavy), and that extra front bed sure makes a difference in space.
To all HA HA Sisters-this trailer has a HUGE living room/cargo area and can we have some awesome flashlight campfires in there, with the ducted heat blowing gently to warm us, and the blender whirling in the background to stir the drinks. Party at my site at Olema.

Thanks, I am excited but a little nervous as we have only had one call so far to sell the other one. Hope we didn't jump the gun too much.
My old memory is failing so if you want to send a private message as to where you live perhaps we can all meet for a day trip. We do a lot of riding around at Folsom (good for the kids).
Congrats on your new toy-we've got 2 Suzuki's, Utility models, but DH sure likes to eye the Z400's. Wonder if we can talk everyone into having a rally at Hollister where they can wake in the morning to the sound of really loud buzzing bees (the tow and four wheeled kind)? Then we can rent out the bikes to subsidize the trip!

Quote from: RTurnerWhich campground did you check out? Canyon Creek?Yup,
Kind of small for our tastes. Max length is 30ft. Fires only in barrels that you rent unless you have your own. Sites are close together, and what is strange is the main highway go's through the campground so if you want to go to the adult lodge, or movie room you have to cross the road.
But you do have Puta Creek going right through the lower campground with several sites backed in to the water. Also a deck and pool overlooking the creek. Probably ok for a weekend, but we were looking for a spot for our May trip
which is normally 10 days or so.

Canyon Creek sounds right up the Quigs' alley!
We just got back from our 29th night in our new trailer. Bought it 7 months ago, of which it was grounded at home for 2 months during the construction we had, and for all of December. 29 nights in 4 months. Compared to 40 nights in 1

The sites near the water are definitely better than the ones up front, but they may have that section closed off in the winter. Mrs. Sacto and I checked it out one winter to see if we wanted to transfer my parents membership. Turns out Ponderosa dropped reciprocating privileges with their campground membership. But it is a pretty nice place.

Where is everyone??
I know as the memberships come up soon, how many are renewing and how many not? I will as I think the nominal cost is worth the information and the friendships gained here.
I got "Terry" all unloaded and need to just give it a good cleaning. No serious bites yet, hopefully soon. Until you empty them out you sure don't realized how much you carry. I ended up with 5 storage containers, one big box and misc. other stuff-that doesn't even include food for a trip.
Redneck moment from one of the potential buyers-"I see it says Hybrid, does that mean it will run on gas or electric". I wanted to say "DUH"!
We are so excited about picking up the new trailer next weekend, got our Maiden voyage all planned. Our neighbors are taking our other trailer if it's not sold and we have 7 kids going overnight. KOA will make a fortune on their child surcharge.

That's a classic Rojana! You should post that over at HYX.
My local goofball dealer (the actual owner (whose last name is Coleman, but no relation)) first heard the term "Hybrid" from me. I think she thought I was talking about a hybrid vehicle also. They now carry Rockwood Roo's and I noticed their website now calls them Hybrid's instead of "Expandable TT's".
I'm around, but very busy right now with catching up on work from the down time from the flu, I did an advertising blitz and am now busy with that, and we are looking at another rental to buy so busy looking at places. I swear I was never as messy as a renter as most renter's now seem to be! :eek:
Our dishwasher died so we went out today and bought one. They had to order it so we will be hand washing dishes for another 2 weeks. It's kind of fun though because it takes Amy & I back to our starving student days (when a burrito was considered extravagant) when we lived in a pool house (the pool was empty) for 10 months and had 1 sink, 1 toilet, a make-shift shower, a dorm/hotel style fridge, a toaster oven, & a Coleman stove (which we still take camping btw).
Fun times now that I look back on it.
Have fun camping in the fantastic new rig! Report back after your maiden voyage.
Looks like we can't get out for a few more weeks.

So our oldest (9) DS is doing a report (& a pamphlet & model, whew!) of Mission San Rafael Arcangel (4th grade - CA history) which is obviously in San Rafael. Since we are close by we took a trip there this morning to get some hands on knowledge, pic's., & notes. The PU link is that parked on 5th. St. (where the Mission is located) right near our car were 3 PU's from AZ (taking up 6 parking spots much to the annoyance of the locals, lol). Of course I had to say hello and found out that they were all retired folks touring around this area. I mentioned getting drills for popping-up & down and they all gave the same look I'm sure I had when someone first mentioned it to me. I bet they have already found a Home Depot and bought 3 drills by now as well as found a place to cut a slot in a deep socket. Well, I mentioned NNC and they actually checked out our website (& were impressed!) before they left home and were still researching their trip.
They can't find any groups like ours in AZ, but wish they could.
They are staying at Casini for the next 3 days and then heading up towards Mendocino. I asked if I could tag along, but Amy said no. :(
Side note to Dianne/Otter -
The docent at the Mission was extremely helpful and very friendly. Gave us a ton of imformation and told fun & interesting stories that kept everyone's attention.
We thought of Lon. :)

Saturday, we have kids basketball games at 12:00 and 6:00pm. so Rojana I don't think we will be making the drive over to Sant Cruz KOA for dinner, but thanks for the invite.
Hope you have a nice stay at KOA. We stayed there years ago, so I only vageuly remember the place. It was clean, and plenty for the kids to do.
The nearest beaches are all state beaches, Manresa, Sunset, Rio Del Mar, and you have to pay to park there.

Unfortunately we don't get to go pick up the new toy until tomorrow morning. DH was going to have to work today so we had to reschedule and won't be camping down there. :-(
I am hoping that next year TurnerTot will be big enough to go see the Elephant Seals (she is too big to backpack and too small to walk that far), then we will plan it ahead of time.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We have potential buyers coming today, pray and cross fingers that we get Terry the Popout a new home.

Please tell me that one of you complained all night to Ralph about how cold it was in "his" area and that his directions to the rally were terrible (If you were at Casini you will get this, lol). ;) :D

Drunk Squad: I did NOT have a ticket after our "15 minute" visit to Joe's.
Holly: Thanks for driving!
Madlyn & Ralph: Thanks for the hospitality....playing cards was so much more fun once we were playing for the BIG bucks!

Hi Gang,
We made it home with the new Toy Box. A lot longer and a bit heavier, but really cool!! Got an Equal-i-zer and what a difference, DH said it was great. I just think it's great I don't have to drive the darn thing.
Starting to get all set up, this one has less storage space but other benefits. We are getting all ready for a trial run next weekend.
Terry the Popout found a new home yesterday afternoon, yipee!!! He will be leaving us some time during the week.
Sounds like the "unpopup" pop out for dinner rally was fun.

Hello Rojana, my campfire buddette:
Congratulations on the sale of your popout. It was cool to inquire about your popout and feel like I was in the market even for a short moment.
For now, I am remaining in the one-sided popup!
Enjoy your Toy Hauler quite a bit. Make sure you configure that space in the back for our NNC Casino & Bar. Yes, poker games are in the works.

Steve/Y-Guy -
Yes it's true that I have started a bit of research into Hybrid's, but if we do make the move it will be in a few years still.
I (& we) truly enjoy the PU and are fortunate that we chose the right one for us the first time. I even enjoy the few extra tasks associated with a PU over a Hybrid.
But, I never say never so I have done just a bit of my Hybrid homework so I'm not totally blind if we were to make the plunge.
I would buy your Kiwi in an instant (!), but not at this time.
That Outback looks like the perfect answer for your needs. I like the parents bed in the back as well. Enjoy!! :) I know you won't have any trouble selling the Jayco.
Amy & I even see ourselves moving to a Chalet or A-Liner possibly once the kids are off doing their thing out in (out-in?) the world and it's down to just the 2 of us. That is if we can stand one another once the house quiets down and we are forced to spend all of our time together, lol. :D :cool:

Well, I had a real 3-Stooges morning;
2 of the guys were at a job (winery in Healdsburg) this morning parked near the tasting room where they were working. A concrete truck parked in front of the work van somehow started to roll - right into the van! :eek: Then the pour chute for the concrete swung around and dumped about a yard of wet cement into the driver's window of the van, lol! :( Don't worry, I got plenty of pictures.
Also looks like I'm going to get a new van out of the fiasco. Luckily it was our oldest van so this could work to my benefit when all is settled.
Sure messed up my morning though. All I can do is laugh though since it wasn't our fault.
Crazy! :D

Also found out we lost my SIL, BIL, 3 nieces, and 1 nephew. :(
To the extreme darkside! :D They bought a mega-bus. It's a monster! They even tried to suck us in by selling us their 5'er, but not to worry, we resisted.
They just don't understand how much we enjoy the PU.
We should be a funny sight with the bus and the PU parked side by side during the 5 trips we are taking together this summer. Although how they think they'll get that monster to French Meadows reservoir or Lake Davis is beyond me. I'll be sure to be in front in case they get stuck on the dirt roads into the cg's. Lake Davis doesn't even have water at the cg (but it has poison and floating fish in the lake, ha)! But that's another story for another time. Besides, I think I've got that figured out (- I sure hope so as it's a 5 night trip! :eek: )
Anyway, be sure to give them the business as they'll be at the Yosemite rally.
Oh who am I kidding! By then you'll probably find me plopped down in front of their big screen plasma tv with a cocktail. :cool:

OMG! I'm suprised something like that didn't make the evening news. That's the kind of stuff TV stations LOVE to report. You did, of course, sign your initials in the wet 'crete, right?
So why ya getting rid of the van? A little thing like a yard of concrete shouldn't affect the tow rating THAT much. ;)
BTW... You sure Jimmy Hoffa wasn't sitting behind the wheel of your van at the time?

The visitors center is cool and shows a great movie on the Donnor Party. The lake is nice for swiming too. If I remember they have a beach at the campground. You can also rent paddle boats and that type of thing.

I'll make a reservation on March 1st. Which is the first possible day to reserve for September (when we are passing through).
I just wanted to make sure the cg wasn't near the road (Hwy. 80) or something like that. I love the area and know it fairly well, but somehow never paid much attention to this particular SP.

I'm still here and trying to recover from the latest back surgery. It's been a long slow s--ofab---h! I go see the doc again on the 24th and if he can't give me more hope of further recovery I'm afraid a change of lifestyle will be in order. I keep thinking the next day will be better but nay, not so.
I am missing out on a lot of rallies but my heart is with you all and that helps. I am getting in a lot of reading and I hope you enjoy Steinbeck and London. I you get a chanc go see the Steinbeck museum in Salinas, well worht the trip.
It soundsas if you are working too hard, remember you will run out of tomorrows before you are ready!
Take care, my friend and my best to you all!

I'm still here and trying to recover from the latest back surgery. It's been a long slow s--ofab---h! I go see the doc again on the 24th and if he can't give me more hope of further recovery I'm afraid a change of lifestyle will be in order. I keep thinking the next day will be better but nay, not so.
I am missing out on a lot of rallies but my heart is with you all and that helps. I am getting in a lot of reading and I hope you enjoy Steinbeck and London. I you get a chanc go see the Steinbeck museum in Salinas, well worht the trip.
It soundsas if you are working too hard, remember you will run out of tomorrows before you are ready!
Take care, my friend and my best to you all!
Robucko. still a charter member?
That's the nice thing about being a Charter Member...once a Charter Member, always a Charter Member. From one CM to another.

Well Robucko, nonetheless, it is great to hear from you. I know you had been working hard to be past all the obstacles by this time and I'm glad you're still the same ol' feisty gentleman we knew at the outset of NNC.
As you know, the group has grown, with different factions, like the Mod Squad, the Drunk Squad and "breakaway" rallyers. But one thing that's truly developed is the camaraderie of folks, the bonds of friendships and the subsequent pranks, of which I stay above the fray.
There are regional rallies, and perhaps we'll hold one on your street just so you'd be included. Ab Diver and I will be there, and maybe Neff (bwahahahaa).
It was nice of you to drop us a line. And as Casey Kasem used to say, "keep your feet on the ground, but keep reaching for the stars."
At your service,
Surfcal

Maiden Voyage Report (two weeks ago)
We headed out on Saturday the 7th for a few days of vroom vrooming around Carnegie OHV park (dry camping).
Upon arrival the Rangers mentioned that often times day use people take over the camping sites for the day and that there were still "sites" left as the camping was not all sold. The guys proceeded to the area and scouted out a half empty site. (Only a pickup truck with a few personal items on the table, there were two picnic tables) We ASSumed it was dayusers. First mistake.
About 2PM, my friend and I were making lunch and some rude guy saunters up and says "Is there any reason why you decided to just take over our campsite". I then responded that we ASSumed they were day use (by the absence of an RV or even a tent, no sleeping bags in sight) and that the guys would be right back and we would pack up and move somewhere. (Not knowing the guys temperment I didn't get snotty) THEN our friend came back and he started to get in to it and THEN I bounced out like a Pit BULL and said "Most people who camp are friendly, could laugh it off" obviously this guy wasn't a HAPPY CAMPER. We at some point came to a truce and were going to stay put, then DH came back and he said NO, we're moving. So we packed it up and moved down a few spots.
Settled in for the night and enjoyed the riding and fun.
No problems to this point with the trailer or the generator (except for running out of gas).
Bed time came and we set the temp at 64 for the furnace (it was 35-38 outside). About 1 AM I woke up to the worst condensation I have ever felt and realized that it was about 78 in the trailer. seems the thermostat was not cycling the furnace off when it got warm enough.
Sunday-(my birthday)-Went riding for the morning, awesome breakfast, ready to head home. Got a flat tire in the Envoy in Livermore. Oh and did I mention it was my birthday? No I didn't, so without a reminder, my family FORGOT the whole day. In the evening my brother called and I didn't catch the phone, DD did and he told her why he was calling. DH was in BIG trouble and he felt terrible.
So the trailer was too hot on Saturday and my house was REALLY cold on Sunday (family sleeping in the dog house)!!
Monday DH redeemed himself with a beautiful round present! Ladies I'll show you at Olema.
As for the trailer, we really love it. So much more room and amenities and I found out I can live dry camping (with a generator).
WOW I FLIPPED!

What a crazy maiden voyage!
Sorry you bumped into a hot-head.
Sounds like you had a nice humid Iowa summer night (we were there for 8 days once in July and we were wet the entire trip). Hope you fixed the thermostat.
He got you what for your birthday?! That's not a flashlight!! :eek: :D
Happy birthday!!!!! :)
I am glad to hear you enjoy dry camping. With the right set-up it is the best way to truly camp!

She obviously gets quite a bit of science news sent to school & home. Well, today I was thumbing through a weekly magazine that arrived called "Science News" and holy "cow" am I glad I don't eat meat! (Remember, I do it for health reasons not because I love animals.) Anyway, if the general public knew what was fed to cattle and APPROVED by the FDA, well let's just say that I bet alot of them would quit eating beef. :eek:
If anyone wants the gory details click below. If like me, you wish you never knew then don't click below;

I agree with you, it is sickening. Back in Turkey I had to analyze the operations of the biggest cattle factory ( :Oops: ) in Turkey, brand name, very clean etc .... where the animals entered from one side, and nothing exited from the other site (well very little bit). During the analysis, I learned what happens at each stage, and some of the steps were plain disgusting as an end result for reasons I won't go into detail.
Do I still eat red meat, yeah I do, not as much as I used to though ..... The article is worth reading and very enlightining ..... yeeeeeeekkkkk, I didn't have to remember this, maybe it is better I did, as I shouldn't really eat red meat anymore, hypertension, and slightly high collesterol levels, need to loose weight ...

Hi five, Scott!
We drove past Ventura on Sunday and Mrs. Sacto and I thought of you and G-Whiz. Unfortunately, we were on our way to San Luis and knew we wouldn't be able to visit. Also got stuck in real bad traffic on 101 in Ventura county addding to our delay....on a Sunday. I though it would be bad in the opposite direction.Obviously there's no such thing as reverse commute down in SoCal. I can understand why you like Ventura though. Nice area, but the offshore oil rigs obstruct the view ;) .

They found someone (cattle farmers) who would take all the stuff on their floors and pay them for it. Shovel it ALL up, put it in a bucket, sell it to the cattle farms for feed. :eek: :(
Anyone for tofu?
Again, I truly don't give a darn about the cows, but that is nasty to feed to any animal!
Pure genious I tell ya! Kind of like how the dairy farmers figured out what to do with the waste by-product whey.
And at least I can wash off all of the poop that the vegetables are grown in! :D

In Orange County, the intersection of the I-5 and I-405 is called the Orange Crush by the traffic reporters. In Oxnard, there is a campaign afoot to call that construction area by the bridge, "The Strawberry Jam" in honor of the traffic that is almost always there and the local strawberry growers.

Is anyone leaving the country this year?! I think everyone is staying domestic and going camping.
We opened up a free-w/e last night so I made reservations (by phone as I was traveling to work) this morning for a SP up above Ab Diver's neck of the woods and got the last reservation for that w/e! Thursday night was not a problem, but the Friday & Saturday nights almost had us looking at another cg.
If you haven't already reserved your summer trips I highly suggest having mid-week dates as alternatives before you call or get online.
Monthly reminder - Monday March 1st is the first day to reserve Sept. dates.

This is all very reassuring for me as I have actually been referred to as a bird brain. Thinking it was a negative thing, I continued to try harder at any task that was sent my way. Now I see that I was actually receiving a compliment and feel quite badly that I did not thank the person making the reference. Do you think it is ever too late to say thank you? Also, do you know anything about pea-brains? I've have heard references made on that subject also and wonder if a thank you might be in order in this instance too. ;)

Get this, talking to Wendy over the weekend, she mentioned Pacifica near San Francisco has a private RV resort with full hook ups on a bluff overlooking the ocean, so we check it out this morning.
http://www.sanfranciscorvresort.com/
We went to reservations, and were looking into booking a weekend in June, but the website came back with a price of $750 a night!!!!!!!! $3,000 for 4 nights of camping!!!
O.K. we called them, and $750 is the price per month. A little hiccup with their web page, and the real cost per night is about $50. Not so sure if we want to spend that much a night.

So we had a new dishwasher installed today and the plumber left a piece of hose behind and the first thing i thought was; "hey, that would work perfectly for my fresh water transfer system in the PU". Man, I'm a PU-aholic!
Btw, on a quiet scale of 1 - 5 we bought a 4 and holy smokes is it quiet!! I'm in quite a few homes that have the super-duper quiet high-end Bosch dishwashers that are extremely quiet, but this one we bought for $400.00 less than those is so quiet that I had to feel the door to make sure it was working. Technology is amazing!
Kevin -
Somewhere in this thread (& I'm not looking for it!) I posted a drive-through review I did of that concrete parking lot when we were in that area some months ago. $50.00?!! Man, I wouldn't pay $20.00 to "camp" there. I'm glad you didn't make a reservation.

As for dishwashers, yea, we got a new one recently, and compared to the old one, you have to listen hard just to verify it is running.

Here's some more dribble, but had to mention the awesome movie we saw tonight.
"Touching The Void" - 10 out of 10!!!!!!!
Words can't even describe how this movie will affect you. Heck, the book has been one of my favorites ever since it was written. The movie is amazing!
I highly recommend it. :)

A friend & I took the DS' (10, 10, & 11) this evening and what an experience!
It was even more amazing the second time.
Decisions and their consequences. Wow!
I want to see it again, lol.
Makes me want to climb a mountain.
In a car that is.

I don't think she even posts here, but I have to say thank you to "Foldit" (they were at Olema (& she's a Rush fan too!)) for giving us the idea of having a personalized license plate on the PU. I just returned from the DMV (gotta love the field office inside AAA with no lines!) and transferred ours to the PU. Got generic plates for the TV so I can once again drive like a wild man and cut people off, bwhahahahahah! J/k! :D :)

We bought one of those shock collars to try to control Max's barking. I thought it would be kind of cruel to use. We offered DD $10 to try it on and test it out and she was happy to help, until she put on the collar and talked . Needless to say, she earned her money :eek: and Max is much more well behaved. :J

We used one on Brisbane when she was little....to this day, we just have to pick it up and show it to her and she shuts up!
Is it adjustable? We set it to the lowest level for Brisbane.

It has six different levels starting at the lowest and working it's way up if he keeps barking. Usually he gets it after the first zap.
Sometimes I wish we had for DD, but now that she's in those teenage years she doesn't have much to say to us grown-ups.

You should buy a bunch of those and we can put them on rowdy partiers at rallies and you just zap them instead of shushing them when they go out of control.

Quote from: champ521Well, I spent the day getting the PU ready for next months rally. It's been a while since we dry camped so I wanted to sanitize the water system only to find out that there is something not working quite right. I can hear the water pump cycling but no water comes out of the tap. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
Sounds like a job for the MOD SQUAD.

Dadada!
Do I hear a fellow NNC'er in need?
Have no fear young PU'er for the NNC Mod Squad is here.
I'm going to ass-u-me that you had water in your fresh water tank (at least 1/3 full). Next thought would be that there is air in your lines and you didn't leave the faucet on long enough to clear out the air. Yes/No?
Or was there water in your WH? If not, the hot faucet will only sputter and not bring forth a flowing stream.
If your water pump is shot then I say toss that noisy dog and replace it with a Whisper King water pump. Nice & quiet. We love ours. :)
The Mod Squad requires your answers to the above questions before we can further assess (Aaahhh! Help, I've got tax phrases on my mind!) the situation.

Oooh! Brain blast;
If your WH was empty then the water pump was first filling it up (6 gallons) before it would let water go to the sink &/or outside shower.
Hmmm. What could it be?
We all await Dave's answers.

Ok, Dave, serious answer this time---- for some reason your pump is spinning it's wheels instead of moving water. I'm not exactly sure where your pump is located, but it's probably under the slide-out dinette like on my Bayside (Utah Floorplan). You'll need to remove the metal footguard on the front of the dinette so you can access it.
First, pull the intake water line off the pump, and unscrew, remove, and check the filter, it might be clogged with "gunk". (You may be grossed out to see what can grow on one of these filters) If so, clean it and try the pump again. If not, turn the pump on for just a second or two and place your finger over the inlet. Can you feel suction at the pump intake? If not, you got a bad pump. If so, you got a plugged water line somewhere, either before or after the pump. Fill the tank enough so the water intake is covered with a couple inches of water. Turn the pump on. Is water getting *to* the pump? If not, you got a blocked water line before the pump. Next, disconnect the water line after the pump, and point it into a pan. Turn the pump on for a second. Is water coming out of the pump? Good. Now track down the obstruction downstream.
Jeff's comments regarding the water heater were spot on.
There's only so many things that can go wrong with a system this simple. Either the pump is bad, or something is preventing it from doing it's job. Also, trying to run the pump *while* you are filling the tank can result in air being pulled into the water lines from the bubbles caused by the water filling the tank, causing "vapor lock", and the pump just sits and spins.
Hope that gets your problem solved, Bro.

The first thing I did was fill the water heater by connecting a hose and opening the hot water knob on the outside shower until water started spraying out. After that I closed the knob. Then I used the hose to completely fill the fresh water tank. I went inside, turned on the pump and opened both of the hot and cold faucet handles on the inside sink. The pump was cycling but no water. I turned off the faucet on the inside and went back out to the shower. I could still hear the pump running even though no faucets were open. I opened both hot and cold on the shower and no water. I left them open for a couple of minutes with the pump running the whole time. I was a little concerned about the pump running so long so I turned it off. I had no idea where to look for the pump so I came home and posted here.
Today I also solved the problem I was having with the electrical connection to the tow vehicle by trimming down an emery board and filing on the inside of the plug on the PU. Then I cleaned some mildew off the awning and also removed the center pole ala Quigs. What a pain that was.

Looks like Neff and Ab have pointed you to all the obvious solutions that you should try first, but here are a few more.
1. Are you sure there is water in the tank?
2. Are you sure you actually turned the faucet on?
3. Are you sure the outside shower is not turned on, and water is flowing down the outside?
4. Are you sure all the drain-valves are closed?
5.Are you sure you do not have a burst pipe somewhere and water is flowing out from under a cabinet or the dinette. One way you will know this for sure is the floor will be wet!
6.How many Cours did you drink today?

O.K. looks like you will have to resort to Ab Divers check list.The Pump in the Colemans, are located under the floor of the slide out dinette. The access the pump, you will have to unscrew 4 screws that are holding the metal top edge of the kichplate. Once you undo the 4 screws, you should be able to pull off the metal strip, and the attached wood kickplate, giving access to the pump.
Let us know how you get on, as I am sure Neff is very worried about your pump.

I'm considering getting a metal plate installed in my forehead so I can crush beer cans (have to use Dave's empty Coor's cans since I drink bottled beer) ala John Belushi.
Well, it sounds like you've got vapor lock my friend. You're obviously eating too much bread. Have a bran muffin and that should clean you out in no time.
As far as your water pump goes, you should do a search on PUX and you'll find many remedies for vapor lock (that is if the bran muffin doesn't work).
Glad we can help you through this difficult time. :D

"Today I made my very first post,
Now I wait for the usual forum roast.
I have done many posts before,
But those don't mean s--- anymore.
This post is different, its special you see,
For it reflects directly upon me.
I'm sure that when its all said and done,
This thread will be filled with lots of fun.
But at who's expense I must inquire,
For will this post banish me from "The Shire".
I stuck my neck out on the line,
For once I showed a little spine.
Will I ever receive a reply,
And will the result make me cry.
But at last I just don't care,
Although maybe I should say one small prayer.
For in the end POETRY is hard to post,
It's much easier to sit back, reply and boast."

Bravo! Good one Ray. :)
I think we should all stand in the shape of a tree & hold candles while we sing that one.
That advertisement always cracked me up. If only everyone would buy one of our Coca Cola's then we could achieve world peace. Yeah right. The CEO of Coca Cola could achieve a few more homes & yachts, lol.

A post by any other name would read as sweet.
Trash talking, or flaming

Thread killer

Low feeling you get when unable to read PUT
= post partum depression
Out of control ranting and raving

Someone that makes a habit of going postal

Stunned state after reading a "going postal" post

Hello Everyone,
Just popping in to say HELLO!!! Life has been very hectic for us and hasn't allowed any time for camping :-( We are hoping to make it to some of the upcoming rallies. We are checking our calendar to see which ones we can make it to.
6Quigs - I haven't forggotten about you - since my last email to you our son was admitted to the hospital and was there for 3 days. Anyway, he is home and all is ok - thankfully. I will be emailing you in the next day or so regarding Pismo Beach.
Surfcal - I finally got that "ad" video done for our school. Everyone seemed to like it. I would love for you to critique it for me though - let me know when/if you have time. Now I'm working on 2 more videos - one for school and one for cub scouts!!
Well, I better run, it's time to get kids from school. I'll try to pop in more often.
Michelle

The girl is one of the bartenders, who the bartender taking the picture called into the scene. Funny thing, the camera actually focussed on her. It took some post (there's that word again) processing to get Ray and I even a little bit in focus
BTW....thanks for the mood rain today in SF.

It's supposed to be a nice weather weekend so get outdoors and have a good one everyone. Thanks for all the songs, the poems, the one-liners and "post"ively good vibes.

Hi everyone, It tis the Otter here. Splash splash.
I have not been checking lately, this is true.
It is also a fact that I re-upped my subscription to the PUT-site. I guess that is what made me the "newest member'. I have no other explaination.
How did we go thru March without a rally??? I am really out of touch. I know we will miss the April rally and probably the May one, so it looks likes June before we get together. And I don't get my $$$of to Kevin he will be drawing a red line thru our names.
We'll have to make a Mount Madonna run before that I think.
We are in the throws of painting the beachouse and moving our stuff back to Menlo Park. Looks like Santa Cruz drew the short straw and will go on the auction block this summer.
But we are well and off to Coxemel for the middle of April. Can't wait, I hear the snorkelling is fantastic there. Lon will have plenty of people to dive with too.
I will try to keep in touch.
hugs to all

Hey NNC'ers,
Did ya'll have a good weekend?
We just got home from the weekend at Hollister Hills-dry camping and all. No cable hookups for DH!
Great time, went with all of the neighbors in our court. Had lots of vroom vrooms (DD name for ATV's), what a blast.
HA HA Sisters you would be proud of me, I learned how to tow a 12' trailer full of ATV's a long way and back and I didn't even take out any stop signs, perhaps I did knock a few fellow motorists off the road during a lane change. That would be a possibility.
Got the Trailer back from dealer Sat morning, all is well. Looking forward to Pismo, our big family vacation of the year.
Heading out to the forest next weekend for some more fun. Think we may stay home a few weekends in the summer to enjoy the pool.

Back from a company retreat. We went to a place called Marconi Conference Center about 17 miles north of Point Reyes Station. The weather was great and we also went kayaking in Tomales Bay.
The facility was great. Thought I'd pass it along just in case you'd want to take a group along. It's part of the State Park system, //www.marconiconference.org

Do catch it on your tonsils? Do you heave it a left and right?

Happy Anniversary Kevin and Margaret! Drink a margarita for me....but without the heartburn.
BTW, who's watching the kids? I have to admit, hearing "SHANE! CONNOR!" coming out of someone else's mouth would be WEEEEEIRD.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
We had a great time at St. Pete Beach, near Tampa, in Florida.
Weather was lovely, a bit windy, but no rain or humidity.
My parents who are visiting from Ireland, took care of the children while we were away.
Now we have this weekend to look forward to.
4 nights camping at Seacliff beach :cool:

St Pete Beach! I was there a couple of years ago....loved it. Did you go to the Don Cesar? We had the best dinner there. Of course, we could not afford to eat after that, but it was worth it!

St Pete Beach,
That was neat that you took Pete there to see his beach ;)
Yes, we did take a walk along the beach, and stopped at the Don Ce Sar, and after paying $20 for 2 margaritas at the poolside bar, we were going to check out the inside and the dining, but unfortunately we were barefoot at the time, and were not allowed in :mad:
Talking to some people later, I found out I probably saved ourselves a $300 dinner bill :D

How the heck are the rest of us DH's supposed to compete with that. Thanks for setting such high standards for the rest of us to have to meet now.
It's bad enough you fly in your babysitters from overseas, then you go and take Margaret to Florida? Then take her camping to boot.
Now I ask you what the heck are the rest of us going to do when we take the DW on a camping trip and just give her a rose?
I can see a lot of Cougher's being in the dog house thanks to you Kevin.
Seriously glad you had a nice time, and congratulations.
I wonder if we will last that long? :J

I think you are camping this w/e at SeaQuig Beach.
Have a great time!! That's tough, camping 2 w/e's in a row. :D
The best we're going to do this summer is in one span of 5 weeks with 3 different trips (14 camping days).
Hope kicking back on the beach doesn't wear you out. ;) :)

Anyone camping this weekend???
We are heading off mid-day for a dusty dry camping trip to Hollister. All loaded up except for the ice chest and 4 hours of work in the morning. Can't call in sick when you take a 1/2 day of vacation.
Oh yeah, when you hear the traffic report for the the GMC and the Starcraft heading down 101 at 30-40 MPH that's ME with the kids white knuckled and frazzled. DH won't be down until later in the day. Funny thing is he is not worried about me driving it down there, he is more worried about me trying to back it in with the neighbors help. We are both professed NON-Trailers Backeruppers.
Have a great weekend all

Here's a thought for the day that a friend e-mailed me tonight. It seems somewhat appropriate for someone celebrating a birthday:
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. My day and night were so filled that I had no time to check the Boards.
This birthday seemed especially profound. When G and I got married, only three people were invited. Jo Burnul was one of them. I attended her funeral on Wednesday. She was 66. It was a graphic reminder to fully live each of the days you wake up on the looking at the bladed side of grass.

Hey all:
I can't take credit for this one because Holly sent it to me on the backchannel, but it's worth sharing to the Nick-Neff-Coughers.

Why was Holly looking for a wedding dress for Pete? They already got married.
Seriously Holly, what got you doing a search on EBay for a man's size wedding dress?!!! :confused:

Yes! I didn't see him on The Today Show but I suppose that is where CH3 got the video feed from. I meant to tape it last night for Joan but forgot. :mad:

Okay, since no one is discussing anything and I have no mods to share with anyone, here's a random comment.
So, this is where it gets exciting in Survivor. There are only 5 people left.
You have Jenna, Rupert, Big Tom, Amber and Rob. My guess is Jenna gets voted out next. The rest is up for speculation.

I agree with the Jenna pick, but not so sure about Kobe, Shaq and the gang. Houston looked pretty touch in round one.
I would love to see the Kings and Lakers both advance, so I can go watch those games!

The Giants will be lucky if they go .500 this season. There's a conspiracy to get Barry the home run record as quickly as he can in that Giants uniform. The only way he can hit home runs is if he gets pitches to hit. The only way he's gonna get pitches is if the Giants are well behind. The only way the Giants will be behind is if managment is not spending money on good players/pitchers. Think about it.

Little known trivia. How many intentional walks did Roger Maris have the year he broke Babe Ruth's single season home run record?
Answer: Not one. Maris hit third in the line-up; Mickey Mantle hit fourth. No team would walk Maris to pitch to Mantle. Wouldn't Barry like a Mantle hitting behind him?

We just returned from the Santa Cruz KOA. Went to the Aquarium in Monterey, relaxed, had fun.
The KOA is nice...but expensive. They put in a brand new play structure and new sand in their huge sand pit right when we arrived. The place is expensive(!), but Laguna Seca had a race that weekend :yikes: so we couldn't go there. It was also a girl scout rally with god knows how many 9-12 year old girls running around and screaming.
Weather was unbelievable. I wish we could have stayed another day.

Baseball is a business. The giants owners are banking the fact that people will still come to the park to see Barry even if the rest of the team sucks. They do not want to spend any more $$$ than they have to. There were plenty of free agents available during the off-season that the Giants could have acquired if they wanted to.

It was something like:
29 hits in 26 games. Not a huge deal, but:
only 56 official at-bats
36 walks
on-base percentage around 78%

You must have me confused with another NNC'er. :D
I've hailed the drill as a PU-liberator since I started using one the day after we returned from the Woodson Bridge rally in Sept., 2002 (IIRC). After 6 trips without one, I saw the light. Never looked back since. :)
The electric tongue jack is just one more addition/convenience/mod. that makes relaxing that much faster to achieve once we arrive at the cg.
We heavily considered a Hybrid btw (after seeing the Quigs' awesome rig), but we have realized that we are PU-people through and through.

Piece of cake to install, just unbolt the old one, and re-use the bolts to install the new one. Add a little bit of wire, and a fuse, and presto.
Margaret especially loves it, as she's the one usually lowering the trailer onto the hitch.

Well, it's tantamount to all of us sitting around the campfire and I'm just listening to everyone and I have no comment really, just enjoying the event and company.
Just didn't want anyone to think I've dropped out. I don't have any wisecracks at the moment and no "rabble rousing." But, you never know when an inspiration will come about.

Just returned from a terrific 4 days (with a Tae-kwon-do tournament sandwiched in between) at MacKerricher SP just above Fort Bragg (& next door to Cleone (location of 1 of the 2 6/03 rally's). The ocean was 1 small hill away. Wow the Mendocino coast is more beautiful every time I see it!
This is an amazing SP!! I highly recommend it. 10's all around. We will be going back sometime soon. The coin operated hot showers were a bonus (Amy still has not been able to do her outside shower tent mod., lol).
We saw a retired couple in a large Aliner and thought of ourselves 15-20 years from now. :D
Checked out one of the new Sequoia PU's camped near us. All I can say is that the Highlander series PU's are huge, but not much more spacious and with no front storage trunk. The interesting thing was that this particular model doesn't have a slide-out & our Utah is definitely more spacious. The only thing that I even remotely liked more was the always in position galley - but not that much more. The older couple from Chico who bought it paid $15,600.00 for it from Fox Trailers in Sac.! :eyecrazy: They weren't aware of the oven issue Fleetwood is dealing with right now and were not given an IOU for a future oven like Fox was supposed to give them. They were glad I mentioned this to them as they were told that the large "hole" in their cabinet is just more storage, lol. They don't have internet access so had no idea about this. They are using an Explorer to pull it with (their maiden voyage) and weren't thrilled with the thought of driving home today pulling that 3,600+ lbs.. They said they might be looking into an Expedition this coming week. Hope I was helpful to them.
Anyway, we had a wonderful time hiking, beaching, kiting, biking, etc...

The only thing that I even remotely liked more was the always in position galley - but not that much more. The older couple from Chico who bought it paid $15,600.00 for it from Fox Trailers in Sac.! :eyecrazy: They weren't aware of the oven issue Fleetwood is dealing with right now and were not given an IOU for a future oven like Fox was supposed to give them. They were glad I mentioned this to them as they were told that the large "hole" in their cabinet is just more storage, lol. They don't have internet access so had no idea about this. They are using an Explorer to pull it with (their maiden voyage) and weren't thrilled with the thought of driving home today pulling that 3,600+ lbs.. They said they might be looking into an Expedition this coming week. Hope I was helpful to them.
Anyway, we had a wonderful time hiking, beaching, kiting, biking, etc...

Leave it to George & only in New York;
Starting today fans are forbidden to sing "...buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks..." and are to instead sing "...buy me some peanuts and Crunch-N-Munch...". No joke, George actually won the right to change the words to the song while it's sung at Yankee stadium. Did I mention he is a part owner in the company that makes Crunch-N-Munch? Just struck me funny.
Just like his friend Donald who is trying to copyright the phrase "You're Fired!".

Is anybody else getting hammered with allergies????? It's been bad for a while, and really bad last week. :eyecrazy: Now, after doing some necessary yardwork this afternoon, I'm so plugged up, stuffy, wheezy, coughy, :yikes: and runny (how can your nose be both plugged up AND runny at the same time? :confused: , I can't go for my scheduled training run this evening. Grrrrr....:mad:
Ok, that completes my whining session for today. :(

QuoteShould be a beautiful weekend around the state.
Kevin, where are you. We need more players and RRing around the campfire.
Anyone ever been to Pinto Lake in Watsonville?
Margaret called them last week, and they had a cancelation, so we headed over there Thursday night for 4 peaceful days camping.
It rained Thursday night, but the rest of the weekend was perfect.
All the sites were small, very small, so small that your awning would almost touch the slide out of the 5th wheel parked beside you.
Because we have 4 children, they gave us the best site in the campground, the one beside the playground, and opening onto a large field, which overlooked the lake, where all the kids (except Kevin) caught some fish.
We would definetly go back, as long as we could have the same site!!

Hey everybody, hope you had fun doing whatever you did. As some of you know, I've been trying to biuld up my endurance for runing lately. Well, this weekend took it to a new level. I think you can relate...
My theme for the weekend was cross training, cross training, and more cross training. Spent three days camping directly behind the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, here on the Mendocino coast. Nothing but a mile of open coastal headlands between us and the oceanside lighthouse. I gotta admit, it was a view for which some folks pay hundreds of bucks a night. The weather cooperated, and resulted in the kind of picture postcard days that you dream about. We spent three days of abalone diving (full leg workout, abductor and adductor; along with maximum breath utilization and pacing for distance), campfire building (isometric squats while lighting said fire), and offspring backpacking (carried my exhausted 63 lbs. 10 y-o daughter up from the tidal zone to our campsite 1 mile away and 300 feet higher--- simulating hill training and endurance running). Also partook of extra helpings of fine local Microbrews (carb-loading and fluid replenishment) as well as historically accurate re-enactments of Cro-Magnon religious ceremonies (BBQ'ed fresh-caught Catch-Of-The-Day along with sacrificial Tri-Tip Of Cave Cow ( Cave Ox) over an open flame and offered our Thanks to *The Great Spirit*). All in all, we had a great time and my legs got one heck of a work-out.
The pop-up is now unloaded and awaiting re-loading for the Pismo Rally. The ummmm, uh.... baloney are awaiting tenderizing and freezing for the same event. The Ab Diver is awaiting a hot shower, a back rub, and some sunburn lotion. ;)

Hey Surfcal,
Sal and I though of you yesterday on our way back from Camping World in Rocklin. The freeway (80) goes through Roseville and coming home on our side of the freeway at the Eureka on ramp, the Pan Pacific Dealership backs up to the freeway. We saw a hybred just for you sitting along the fence. It was a half-a-hybred. A tiney little hard side with the canves bunk ONLY ON ONE END! From what we could see passing by, it isn't much/or any bigger than your Pop-up. Just your style. We couldn't believe it. Made just for you. We think you need to check it out.

She doesn't eat seafood of any sort but for some reason loves your BALONEY;) . In fact just the other day, she asked me if you were coming to Pismo and if I thought you were bringing along BALONEY. What a compliment from a pre-teen with raging hormones.:yikes:

We have reservations the weekend before Pismo at Casini Ranch if anyone else wants to camp two weekends in a row! :)

I gotta tell ya, the best moment of the whole weekend was when I was unloading the pop-up at home, and both my girls came up to grab something and help, stopped and looked at me for a second, and said "Thanks for taking us, Dad. That was great!" Makes everything else kinda fade in significance, ya know?
Jacqui-- Hehehehe.... now I know how Leif Garrett must have felt-- he was a hit for about one weekend with the pre-teen set as well. ;-) Besides, ummmBaloney really *IS* the other white meat.

Last time we went camping, while poping up the trailer there was a loud snap. The roof cranked up the rest of the way but was just an inch or less from fully poped. When we left the roof can down just fine. Well I figured I would tear into things this moring to see what the snap was all about. The pictures below are what I found. Luckly it was the front right side next to the winch so it was not difficult to remove. Anyway, just now have to decide if I'm going to try and replace it with a new one or if I can bend it back in shape and have some extra reinforcement welded on. I'll probabley do the fix and see if it holds and if not replace it. BTW the last picture is my DW sweeping the patio in her PJ's.:)

Good luck. Hope your fix does the trick! You are much more brave than I. Something like that and I don't even attempt it.
Just wanted to say to all of the Pismo attendee's; Have a great time!!!! :) :)
We are headed deep into the Klamath National Forest for 5 nights of boondocking on 40 acres (we might purchase it). The river runs right through the property. The nearest potable water (besides the river) is 7 miles away so we are obviously bringing plenty of drinking water (although we do have the water filter on the PU faucet). We are really looking forward to this trip, fresh outdoors, and some peace & quiet.

She is actually counting down the days to this trip.
Who knows, maybe we'll have a future dry rally there. :)
There is water under the property. It's just that a well hasn't been dug yet.
Our oldest read about dowsing this year and has a forked stick all ready to try out around the property, lol. Should keep him busy for a good part of at least 1 day searching for underground water don't you think? :D

Must be the new math, but if the RNB's are going camping for 5 nights (count 'em, F-I-V-E nights), they shouldn't miss the Pismo rally unless they are leaving two weeks (count 'em, FOURTEEN nights) from now. What's up with this?????
Anyway, bummer. You and yours will be missed, Jeff.
Hmmmmm-- Jeff's gunna be on 40 acres, and we gots us 40 families attending Pismo... Anybody else see the formation a potential suprise for RNB's peaceful and quiet camping trip? Hehehehehe....

My dad was born and raised on an east Texas farm, and had to do a lot of water seaching for the farm. He taught me that the easiest way was not to use the "Y" stick or switch, but divining rods work much better.
He taught me to use two metal rods (about 1/4 inch thick) bent into a L shapes. Hold the rods parallel to the ground and shoulder width apart. While walking, the rods will cross(make an "X") when you walk over a water source.
As a doubting Thomas, I thought my dad was full of it, but darned if it didn't work every time!

But Michele is sure an energetic sweeper.Scott, I think my picture should still be #1. I can't believe you keep bringing this up. Didn't we just have a talk about this last weekend?:yikes: :D

RV Industry Grows as Boomers Hit Highways
Sun Jun 6,11:46 AM ET Add Business - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Susan Kelly
ELKHART, Ind. (Reuters) - The recreational vehicle capital of the world is in the midst of a hiring boom.
In the sprawling manufacturing plants south of Interstate 80-90 in Elkhart County, the scene resembles a bustling construction site, the sound of drills buzzing in the air, as plumbers, electricians and carpenters work at outfitting the giant rigs with all the comforts of home.
Despite record-high prices at the gas pump, the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association expects sales of RVs to reach their highest level in 25 years, fueled by middle-aged Americans' increasing affinity for the big fuel-thirsty rigs.
"It's a challenge for us to get good employees right now," said Jim Mac, marketing director for RV maker Monaco Coach Corp., which operates four plants in the Elkhart area.
Although Wall Street has worried that high fuel costs could curb consumers' enthusiasm for RVs, the industry so far shows no sign of slowing. The improving economy and Americans' desire to spend more time with their families are helping to set the pace.
The jobless rate for Elkhart County, where one in four workers is employed in the RV industry, is an enviable 4 percent, a full point below the average for the state as a whole.
"This is the baby-boom generation that has fueled remarkable increases in demand the past several years and will continue to do so in the next decade," said Richard Curtin, director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan.
As more families with children join the traditional RV market of active retirees, the age of the average buyer has fallen to 49 from 51 three years ago. More and more enthusiasts have college educations and white-collar jobs, mirroring changes in the U.S. population overall.
"There is substantial demand for the RV lifestyle," Curtin said. "People find it a very satisfying and fulfilling way to travel and participate in outdoor recreation."

Ok gang, I feel like I just did something good enough for a Butter Finger. (remember those commercials?) Anyway, I ran 22 miles today! Took a one minute walk break between each mile, but it still took everything I had. Good news is that this was one of my necessary "long runs" I need to get under my belt before the marathon in July, and *that* leaves the Pismo weekend open for shorter runs. (which means more time fer beer drinkin' !)
Bought a Camelbak *Mule* for drinking water on my longer runs. For those of you who have never heard of the name, Camelbak makes back-pack-like hydration packs to carry water and "stuff", a little or a lot depending on the model and your needs. They're pretty good quality, good enough for the military to use. So if you've been thinking about how to carry water and other gear on hikes or day-trips, check them out. (usual disclaimers, just a happy customer)

Congratulations Dave, that is sweet. I'll drive for 20 miles and I'd have to take a nap!
Yes, thos camelbaks are great. I have a couple of them and use it for biking. They're really convenient and makes consistent hydration a breeze.
But if you think about it, we should substitute the content to beer or wine (gin for Larry) for NNC Rallies. That way, we'd have constant happy campers.
We should have abalone in those gel packets too for convenience.

Perhaps you should get them out of the garage, fill two or three of them full of water, and strap them on Griff. "A gallon is eight pounds the world around." Should slow him down a bit or make naps last longer at least.

Maybe the local Dept. of Forestry could have a couple guys stop by with a "Help Stop Forset Fires" presentation for the kids. Our local bunch just sent three *Smokie Bear* suits to the cleaners (I happened to pick up their account up that day), so maybe the local Pismo guys would have a suit on hand as well. Just a thought.
'course, if all else fails, either Champ or Memory could give the kids a Bear Hug and I'm sure it would feel like the real thing. Them's two of the biggest bar's I ever seen...

What's up? Didn't you enjoy your awning flipping up on top of the PU at SugarLoaf? :D :(
E-mail Gregg/YOR123 through PUX. Great guy out of New Orleans.
It is his mod. and he has a webshots page detailing all of the parts and assembly. The only change I made was using 10 lb. weights (instead of 5 lbs.).
Very simple. We love this mod.! Our awning never moves and the weights sit on any surface.

Post by: griffsmom on Jun 23, 2004, 12:48 AM
Post by: griffsmom on Jun 23, 2004, 12:48 AM
Is this the mod?
1 5lb cast iron weight (barbell weight)
1 3/4 PVC pipe to 3/4 female thread adapter
1 3/4 galvanized closed nipple
1 3/4 conduit nut
1 aluminum pin ( I don't the name of these things)
The pin is about 1 1/4 long. It has a flat head on each end, one half is male threaded, the other is female. When screwed together it looks like a nail with heads on both ends.
Place the awning pole into the PVC adapter until it bottoms out. Drill through the adapter and pole about midway and insert the aluminum pin through the hole, screwing both halves together. Now the PVC adapter is attached to the pole. Screw the nipple into the PVC adapter, then slip the nipple through the hole of the weight. Screw the nut onto the nipple a couple of turns, that holds the weight to the pole.
Simple, but should do the trick. Should not cause any stubbed toes because of its low profile. I would have preferred not using the galvanized nipple and instead just used a male PVC adapter, but the male threads on the PVC adapter were too short to pass through the weight.
I also have pics. If you'd like me to e-mail them to you, just let me know. :)

Where is Mike in all this anyway, lol?
He must be at the hardware store. Someone post next week about how this mod. worked for him.
Btw, it's weird that I can still post normally here. Guess I called their bluff, lol. :D

Quote from: Red neff BarchettaMike -Thanks, I thought it was about time to take care of it. The awning blew over the top at Casini this past weekend and got stuck on the vent. Had to wait till we left and poped down the roof to fix it. Looked really cool all weekend having my awning on top of the roof with red pepper tackey lights and all.
What's up? Didn't you enjoy your awning flipping up on top of the PU at SugarLoaf? :D :(
E-mail Gregg/YOR123 through PUX. Great guy out of New Orleans.
It is his mod. and he has a webshots page detailing all of the parts and assembly. The only change I made was using 10 lb. weights (instead of 5 lbs.).
Very simple. We love this mod.! Our awning never moves and the weights sit on any surface.
Have fun at the rally Mike! :)

Quote from: griffsmomIs this the mod?Thanks Lori,
1 5lb cast iron weight (barbell weight)
1 3/4 PVC pipe to 3/4 female thread adapter
1 3/4 galvanized closed nipple
1 3/4 conduit nut
1 aluminum pin ( I don't the name of these things)
The pin is about 1 1/4 long. It has a flat head on each end, one half is male threaded, the other is female. When screwed together it looks like a nail with heads on both ends.
Place the awning pole into the PVC adapter until it bottoms out. Drill through the adapter and pole about midway and insert the aluminum pin through the hole, screwing both halves together. Now the PVC adapter is attached to the pole. Screw the nipple into the PVC adapter, then slip the nipple through the hole of the weight. Screw the nut onto the nipple a couple of turns, that holds the weight to the pole.
Simple, but should do the trick. Should not cause any stubbed toes because of its low profile. I would have preferred not using the galvanized nipple and instead just used a male PVC adapter, but the male threads on the PVC adapter were too short to pass through the weight.
I also have pics. If you'd like me to e-mail them to you, just let me know. :)
I'll make the trip to the hardware store tonight.

We did a similar mod to the awning on our Niagara, and yes did use the 10 pound weights.
just make sure when you drill through the PVC fitting and the awning pole, that you do it in exactly the same location on both, otherwise you end up with a fore and an aft weight :mad:
I highly recommend this mod, and we never had any wind problems with the 11 foot awning on the Niagara.

We might have to induct you into the Drunk Squad. Being shut down by the authorities is a badge of honor for this NNC sub-group, otherwise, it's a failure and failure is not an option.
Whenever possible, we'll include Karaoke in our repertoire.

The legand continues.
I had to go back up to Casitas today because I forgot my hat last night. As I drive through the gate, I see Ranger Rob, a ranger who also works for me in the Harbor Patrol on a part-time basis. So I stop to say, "Hi."
As I talk to him I mention that a couple of the guys stopped by to shut us down last night. He says, "Oh were you the people doing karaoke at 10:00 p.m. They mentioned you when I got on duty this morning."
We're legends.
I propose that we start all future karaoke at 2:00 in the afternoon at future rallies so everyone can participate; especially non-NNC and non-SCC neighbors. Wanna avoid complaints from neighbors? Make sure you invite them to any and all parties.

If you really think about it, Karaoke is perfect for rallies. It's nothing more than a bunch of folks singing around a campfire, only with an aid of an electronic device. And you know, we're not singing Kumbaya either.
No, more like Old Time Rock & Roll, American Pie and Margaritaville (although Nick likes the sappy songs). Yes, I vote Karaoke to be part of the Nick-Neff-Cough culture, it's a wholesome Rabble Rousing.
From tri-trip to deep fried turkeys, from demos to dribbling beer cans, the Nick-Neff-Cough fun machine continues to snowball.
Keep up the great Rabble Rouse because when you look back in the rear view mirror of your times, it will bring you a smile. Why? Because "I did it MY WAY!"

Alright Scott, I'll go ahead and bore you anyway.
I do need to start however by saying that we really did miss being at the rally and hanging out with everyone. Can't wait for Yosemite!
It's funny because Amy & I experienced our smoothest set-up & take-down ever during this trip. We think we are ready to give SCCS/Scott & Carrie a run for their money as they are the current NNC speed holders. :)
Instead of boondocking on a piece of property that is for sale we instead boondocked on a friend's (& fellow science teacher with Amy) 120 acre's as it turned out that he was indeed going up the same time as we were.
All I can say is - Amazing!!! :) :) He has a camp kitchen on the creek's edge that would make Larry & Mike drool with envy. He had every cooking supply you could every need and none of us even ate that much we were so busy doing other stuff, lol. We built a dam in the creek that runs through his property (& swam in the high side and set our chairs in the low side (right in the middle of the creek)), rode ATV's, fished (DS got to eat his first-ever catch), caught (& released) frogs, toads, lizards, etc..., kayaked, shot rifles at clay pigeons, mountain bike rode every evening, jogged every morning, drank gin & tonics, SNPA, & home-made wine at night while sky watching and chatting away the time, went to a swimming hole where you could see the bottom of the river 15' below, hiked, saw deer, snakes, a bear, many different birds, bats, etc...
We had to go over a very old, but amazing suspension bridge where I stopped the rig and ran to the other side and took a picture - very cool. The PU handled well going down 2 1/2 miles of dirt road with huge ruts. It is so awesome to be able to take a bit of luxury with you and still camp in pristine areas!
I took all 3 batteries and the generator along, but we were in the PU so little that we only went through 2 batteries over 5 nights.
Sleeping with all of the tenting unzipped (and the Fantastic Fan ceiling fan running (can't believe what a low amperage it runs at) and the Popupgizmo solar covers doing their thing) was terrific! Try doing that at a cg, ANY cg. Water was no problem at all as we pumped it out of the crystal clear creek, although we didn't drink it though.
We went to within 5 miles of Oregon on I-5 and then turned West on Hwy. 96.
The only drag was the 7 hr. drive, but the experience more than makes up for it! We stopped in Mt. Shasta City and fell in love with that town. Very nice.
Once you get past Redding (Sacramento & Phoenix have nothing on Redding as far as heat goes! :( ) the scenery really gets gorgeous.
Hopefully, this time next year we just might be having a rally on NNC-owned private property! :)
After this experience every cg is going to seem crowded to us now, lol. I shudder at the thought of RV parks.
Anyway, there it is and what a great time we had. :)
The bay area Rush gigs are next week which I know nobody cares about, but I had to mention anyway. :D :) They have a new album of covers of the groups that influenced them in the 50's, 60's, & 70's - Eddie Cochran, The Who, etc... which is really good.
Hope you & GeorgeAnne are doing well. :)

Almost forgot;
The 2 1/2 mile dirt road also had low over-hanging branches. So to protect the bikes on top of the PU I hopped up on the PU roof (gingerly though as not to disturb the ABS roof :D ) and pushed and lifted the branches away as Amy drove down the road, lol. A different experience in itself! :)

Sounds like a spectacular vacation, the kind you dream about. Also sounds like a rejuvenating one as well. Keep us posted on your "property possibility." Sounds like you'll want one with a River Running Through It too ;) .
I agree, north of Redding the scenery is pretty amazing. We camped in McCloud once and really loved it. Haven't returned since, though.

Yes, we sure did have a wonderful time. Might be heading back up for a day trip very soon to look around again. If not, sometime in late August then.
A NNC rally sure would be awesome up there. Especially after we proved to everyone at the SugarLoaf rally that no hook-up's can be a blast with just a bit of conservation (not much though as we only used 2 batteries this past extended w/e).
Kevin - Not to worry, first thing I'd do is trim back any low branches on my approach road if it needed it. Sure would hate to get your shiny new TV & Hybrid scratched up. :)
Our friend hadn't got around to it as we arrived just a day after he did. He hadn't been there since Easter break. He & the boys actually used the winch on the ATV during our stay to pull down 2 medium sized trees that were really hogging the road. The kids got a kick out of that.
It's really amazing, time has almost no meaning when you're cut-off from the rest of the world like that. Every day we did so many things and still had plenty of time to kick back. Wish we were still there like our friend (& now his DW who arrived 2 days after we left - she's a principal who has to work a few weeks longer than teacher's do) who will be there all summer.

Wish we were still there like our friend (& now his DW who arrived 2 days after we left - she's a principal who has to work a few weeks longer than teacher's do) who will be there all summer.

Quote from: boncrabI'm with everyone else. I really enjoyed :# Pismo. Thank you for including a newbie in your rally. I hope that my kids and I can join you many more times to come.Hi Bonnie,
I too enjoyed the Karoake, I love to sing :eek: .
After a few rallies, perhaps I could learn a new trade called "WagonMaster".
Great to meet such a nice and friendly bunch of people.
Bonnie :W
Good to see you here at PUT.
Did you ever make the 12-volt adapter's you e-mailed me about through PUX? Maybe you saw the one I gave to Scott/GSMx2. I think Kevin/6Quigs made some also.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the rally and the crazy people there! :)
Look forward to meeting you in person at a future rally!

YesRed, Now that I have personally met some of the people here, The $20.00 doesn't seem like so much anymore. ;)
I did make one adapter, but I don't have anything 12volt yet so I haven't been able t test it.
After I test the adapter than I can tape or solder the connections. I want to get one of those 12v clip on car fans. I've seen them, but I was hoping to find a white one.
Scott, what's your screen name on yahoo. I can set it up in my YIM and then when your playing I can follow you into the same lounge that your in. You can do the same with me.... mine is crabtreelighthouse.

It really is amazing how long this thread has lasted.
I actually think I started it shortly after the Chabot (floating bodies) January, '03 rally. Which was Y-Guy's last NNC rally.
Dianne's first post is about how they can't make the first Olema (2/03) rally coming up, but will be at Snug Harbor (3/03) (I loved taking the PU (& CWB's TM & Otter's PU all at the same time) on the ferry. That was cool!).
Speaking of CWB, I wonder if he'll be at the re-enactment this w/e in Duncan's Mills near Casini? How about abbear?
What a crazy & terrific thread this is. :)

Well, after a strenuous search and many headaches I have finally realized that a 2-tank LP regulator will not work CORRECTLY with a high-pressure appliance like our outside stove (which is the one we use 95% of the time) when switched to the "reserve" tank.
So, with help from a fellow PU'er I ordered a "Manifold Tee";
Go here and then enter "Manifold Tee" once you are in the "secure" parts catalog -
http://www.giantrecreationworld.com/
It has a check-valve inside and will either draw both tanks evenly, or as I'll do, let one tank drain down and then open up the other tank if I think there is a possibility that the first tank might run out in the middle of the night. You can also disconnect a tank for re-fill while the other tank is still operational.
As with a regulator, I had to also buy a second hose. However, the Manifold Tee is only 1/4th the cost of the regulator.
Although I had them over-night it so that doubled the price, lol. :yikes: :D
It left Florida (believe it or not I couldn't find one around here) this morning.
Can't wait to try it out. :)

I tried doing that with my popup but it didn't work out for me. I always seemed to have a leak somewhere. Not good. But you're handier than I am. Just make sure you use some of that thread tape or whatever they call it. I'm sure you'll have better luck than mee. Remember, I think the manifold tees have inside threads and the hoses going to the regulator are not (and now to the tee) are not compatible, IIRC. You may need some adaptors, which may introduce more leaks. I spent a lot of time at our Suburban Propane so I could still do it wrong. If you can get it to work, it's just as good as a two-tank regulator in my opinion and a lot more affordable.

Brian -
Thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate it. :)
However, I have done some tiresome research on this one and there won't be any adapters needed.
Yes, I will be using thread tape for all of the connections.
The 2 LP hoses (the original one I had and the new one I bought today) both have 1/4" male threads. The Manifold Tee has 2 - 1/4" female threads to accept the LP hoses. The Manifold Tee also has a 1/4" male thread which will go into the 1/4" female thread on top of the existing high-pressure regulator which is standard on Colewood & Fleetwood PU's with a high-pressure outside stove.
When all is installed, the only new parts added will be the Manifold Tee and the new (2nd) LP hose.
Did your Tracker PU have a high-pressure appliance (which in turn would mean that you had a high-pressure regulator)?
I do not want to take the liberty of posting a link to ChuckS' MSN PU site, but he has a picture of exactly what I am talking about there.
I'll let you know next week how it works.
Hope you and your DW are getting some sleep with your new addition in the house. ;) :)
Can't wait to see you next as a family of 4! :) :)

No, the Tracker didn't have a high pressure stove, which may explain the difference. IIRC, the receptacle on my regulator was opposite of that on the manifold tee, thus the need for adaptor. But Coleman must use a different regulator for the high pressure system.
ChuckS? I'll pass.

I was wondering why you would do this. Is this something that is needed only if you do a lot of dry camping? my propane lasted me over a year the bottle wasn't empty but I put a full one on for the pismo trip and was gone 9 days.

We camp year-round so this is mainly for the winter when the furnace is gulping its way through the LP.
I agree, in the summer not much LP is consumed as the furnace isn't used or barely at all. Also, cooking isn't high on our list so the stove(s) isn't(aren't) used as much as others might use theirs either.
Still, it is no fun to have to go outside at 3:30am (LP NEVER runs out during the day :mad: :D ) and disconnect one tank and hook-up the 2nd tank and then re-light the fridge & WH and then go back to bed. The furnace fan blowing cold air wakes you up real quick!
We are camping 4 of the next 8 w/e's (extended) as well as we've camped 3 of the last 8 w/e's so I'll probably open the 2nd. tank at night sometime this summer. I'll open it this w/e (& close the 1st. tank) just to make sure everything is working correctly.
For our situation, this will definitely get used and makes sense to have. :)

I agree, in the summer not much LP is consumed as the furnace isn't used or barely at all. Also, cooking isn't high on our list so the stove(s) isn't(aren't) used as much as others might use theirs either.
Still, it is no fun to have to go outside at 3:30am (LP NEVER runs out during the day :mad: :D ) and disconnect one tank and hook-up the 2nd tank and then re-light the fridge & WH and then go back to bed. The furnace fan blowing cold air wakes you up real quick!
We are camping 4 of the next 8 w/e's (extended) as well as we've camped 3 of the last 8 w/e's so I'll probably open the 2nd. tank at night sometime this summer. I'll open it this w/e (& close the 1st. tank) just to make sure everything is working correctly.
For our situation, this will definitely get used and makes sense to have. :)

Anyway, a few months ago I redid my tongue totally. I already had duel tanks but if you recall they looked sloopy with all the bungies. I mounted the duel regulator on the frame, and bolted on the two tanks. When I had everything off the tongue I repainted it too. Looks really good now.

Thanks for looking out for me Nick, lol. :)
Actually, I invite criticism as it helps me make sure I'm doing the right thing. It doesn't do any good to preach to the choir if you will, since you'll always get agreement from them no matter what you say or do. ;)
What I'm talking about is the uncomfortable dead air here that happens (save a few NNC'ers) whenever someone brings up PU-related stuff.
No worries my friend. :) Just don't want to waste mine or anyone else's time with my blabbering.
Btw, I have the Manifold Tee and the 2nd hose installed and tested the whole works out using the WH. Had both tanks open and then shut one off, tried it the other way, etc...
I will still only have one tank open at a time except for at night as I don't like the idea of running both tanks down evenly. Then you're scre$%^& when both tanks are empty.
What does all this mean you ask?;
No more running out of LP in the middle of the night during the winter!! :) :) :)
Good job on shoring up your PU tongue!! It was looking a bit ragged as you mentioned.
Can't wait to run my hands across your tongue. :D :D

Can't wait to check out your regulator either Neff.
That running out of propane at 3:00am is a pain.
Been there and done that a few times.
Our Hybrid has dual tanks, and an automatic change-over, but everything runs off low pressure, so does not have the problems your popup has,

We camp all year but always with hook-ups so I bought an oscillating Electric heater with a therostat so I don't use my propane. I set it on the dinette and it oscillates 90 deg from bunk to bunk. I did fire up the propane heater at lopez Lake after Pismo to get the chill off before plugging in the heater.

We just got back from three days at Lake Almanor. My parents have a seasonal site up there and a boat so us and the Roe's crashed the campground for the weekend.
Got to ride the ATV's and go waterskiing in the same weekend. It's a long drive but worth it for all the activities. Way too far for a rally!!!!
Have a great week everyone!

Good job.

Thanks for the compliments. Actually, that's still my old camera. Turns out, the old SmartMedia (virtually obsolete now) card that I had in my camera was the culprit. I replaced it and now the camera works, somewhat intermittently, but when it works it's a beauty.
I'd like to express my gratitude to the cast, Neff, 6Quigs, Nick, Ca Girl and the rest of the Yosemite campers for bearing with the ardous production schedule during the hot summer temperatures of the high Sierras. I'd also like to thank the special effects crew that made the production possible, Nick as the grip and CA Girl as the Photoshop Elements artist.

So anyway, in case anyone is wondering why the Drunk Squad exists, it's probably best expressed by this. In one episode of 'Cheers', Cliff is seated at the bar describing the 'Buffalo Theory' to his buddy Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this...(this is from the NNC archives too).
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Looks like he is at it again.
He has a 2005 Ford F350 Lariat PSD CrewCab SWB-on order!!!
Let's recap.
He bought a Niagara in 2001
Then bought a Trailblazer to tow it.
He then buys a Kiwi Hybrid.
Then buys an Avalanch to tow it.
Then buys an Outback.
Now buys a 1 Ton Ford to tow it.
Only problem I see, is he is getting a Short Bed on the truck, which he'll regret when he upgrades to a Fifth Wheel!! ;)

You are very welcome. My pleasure. Glad it went to a good home. :)
Funny thing is that we spend so little time inside our PU that we rarely use the Endless Breeze fan that we have in the PU. It still is in terrific condition. Plus now that I installed the FantasticVent ceiling fan/vent our PU really does stay relatively cool (along with solar covers).
In anticipation of the expected heat in Yosemite recently we decided to bring along a small desk top 110-volt fan that we have in the house so we could have 2 fans (besides the silly little 12-volt bunk-end fan/light combo's we use) - 1 for each end of the PU. Well, since we had the 110-volt already out and since we had hook-up's (NNC rally) it never got so hot that we needed to also pull out the Endless Breeze fan from under the dinette seat.
And the funniest part to this story is that the Endless Breeze fan definitely moves more air than the small 110-volt fan, but we never got around to (or were too lazy) throwing it back in the TV and pulling out the Endless Breeze fan, lol.
I also am a believer in the group 27 batteries. Not that much more $, but a good many useable amp hours more than a group 24.

I have a question. As new NNCers, we are looking around for new places to camp. I was looking in our Campground book and came across Collins Lake. Didn't NNC have a rally there last year? I tried looking for it on the NNC website under past rallies but nothing was listed. Is this a nice place and is it a place to try in the fall or spring? I was thinking April because Randy is a big fly fisherman (trout). What would the weather be that time of year?

It was called the "I Scream Rally" and is listed in the NNC website under past rallies for October 2003.

Weather that time of year can be very nice, if not perfect. The rainy season should have passed, and the days should not be too hot,(unlike southern California).

Microsoft Mandatory Survey (#18)
Customers who want to upgrade to Windows 98 Second Edition must now fill
out a Microsoft survey online before they can order the bugfix/upgrade.
Question 18: Witnessing the popularity of "Dilbert", Microsoft has plans
to launch a syndicated comic strip featuring life at Microsoft. What
characters would you like to see in such a comic strip?
A. Judge Jackson, the goofy court judge who is always making foolish (and
funny) decisions
B. Bob, a wacky Microsoft programmer who likes to insert easter eggs in
his work, and who is addicted to playing "Age of Empires"
C. Bill Gates, the intelligent nerd extraordinaire who always gets his way
by simply giving people large sums of money
D. Ed Muth, the Microsoft spokesman who keeps putting his foot in his
mouth. When not in public, he's a surprisingly sexy "chic magnet"
E. Poorard Stalinman, the leader of a movement of hackers to provide
"free" software for the masses at the expense of Capitalistic values

SHERIDAN, WY -- In an unprecedented blow to Linux advocacy, Aaron McAdams, an
employee at the Sheridan Try-N-Save Discount Store, was fired last week.
According to the store's general manager, McAdams was fired because "he
constantly rearranged items on shelves so that Linux-related books and
software boxes would be displayed more prominently than Windows merchandise."
McAdams' boss added, "If he would have spent as much time actually working as
he did hiding Windows books at the back of shelves, he wouldn't have received
the pink slip."
The general manager supplied Humorix with videotapes from the store's
security cameras showing McAdams in action. In one scene, he takes a whole
stack of "...For Dummies" books and buries them in the Cheap Romance section,
an area of the store rarely visited by computer users. In another, McAdams
can be plainly seen setting copies of Red Hat Linux in front of a large,
eye-catching display of various Microsoft products at the front of the
store. Finally, at one point McAdams can be seen slapping huge tags reading
"DEMO DISPLAY BOX -- NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 1999" on boxes of Windows 98.
McAdams disputes his bosses accusations. "If he would spend more time
actually working instead of peering over security camera footage for hours on
end, this store might actually turn a profit for a change."

In order to get the full potential from a DVD Scott, you need to now go out and buy a surround sound system, where G can really appreciate 6 channels of sound!! ;)

Scott was right; I'm watching movies again! I would LOVE to have Tivo but for now I have learned how to record onto the VCR tape while I'm at work and while I'm watching another TV channel. This comes in handy while the World Series is the main event. The DVD is fun. I love all the extras. I have a DVD on my computer, but it is so much more comfortable to be in the living room on the couch. Scott didn't tell you the other best part, did he? We also got a new TV... 27 inches!!! I can see, I can see! As for surround sound, there is no way in this condo. We have had to go to all three of our neighbors with adjoining walls and ask them to please turn it down. The bass actually shakes our floor. Maybe when we retire to our condo in Michigan. After all, by then we will probably need all the extra speakers so we can hear it.

I would have thought that zoom would have past GC&R some time ago, but no, it ain't even close. 1030 fewer posts and a ton fewer views.

Hey Dave/Champ,
Glad to see you are still "lurking" around. Haven't heard from you a quite some time.
