Starry Night-Self Service Rally-Sugarloaf Ridge SP April 28-29

[towrod]

Announcing the 3rd annual Self Service Rally at Sugarloaf Ridge SP.  This is a state campground located in Kenwood CA - between Sonoma and Santa Rosa.  
"Self Service" means that it is UP TO YOU to make your own reservations at www.reserveamerica.com  This is a State Park -flush toilets but no water or sewer hook ups.  There is no dumpstation at the park.  The sites are non-specific and are assigned by the Ranger upon check in - last year we had no trouble arranging sites nearby but there is no guaranty we'll be next door to one another.
 
In addition to the obvious nearby attractions of the wine country this park has a unique appeal - it is home to the Robert Ferguson Observatory (www.rfo.org) and it will be open for public viewing on Saturday, April 29!
 
Hope to see you there.

Woo-hoo!  I'll have to talk to Kelly about this.  We were so looking forward to it last year.

It was a longish drive, but we got there and it was a nice place.  Then, our Niagara lift system broke while going up (the roof came down very fast!), and we had to go home

Shouldn't happen this year with the hybrid!

Shouldn't happen this year with the hybrid!

If your roof comes down this year it would be a sign to quit camping!

Hey Rod,
I don't remember, is there electric hookups?

[towrod]

Hiya Nick!
Sorry, no hook ups of any kind - water spigots every 4 or 6 sites, flush toilets but NO SHOWERS.   NO DUMP STATION.
 
Generators are allowed but quiet hours are STRICTLY :yikes: enforced by the Rangers.

Hey Rod,

Hi Nick/Mike,
That would be great if you guys can join us!  We'd enjoy camping with you again.  We'll be there with our generator if you have any power issues.  Hope to see you there!

If I have to provide life support to my own thread I guess I should just let it die.........

I guess I should just let it die.........

Nah!  It is just "so far out" -- we've got 2 more camping trips between now and then

That said, I just tried to book my Sugarloaf site.  Uh, can't remember my RA login, so I'll have to do it when I get home.  I'll try to remember to this evening!

(crossing my fingers that my roof says up for this campout!)

Playing it close to the vest eh?

Doh!  That made me re-check the dates of our other trips: Mar 17-19, Apr 28-30.  We also camp with the Northern California Starcraft camper club (since we did own a Starcraft popup, when we joined, we have been "grandfathered" -- somehow, I'm their webmaster).  //www.CaliforniaStarcraft.com

Amusingly, the Starcraft Apr 28 is to Sugar Barge.  The NNC Apr 28 is to Sugarloaf  :Y


That said, since we'd rather go to Sugarloaf, I stand corrected: only 1 other camping trip betwixt now & then!

Sorry Rod, we would love to join you but I am back to work after being on medical leave for 3 months.  I work Fri-Monday so for now weekends are a "no-go":(
