Event Description

Join us for George's 42nd Birthday at Live Oak Recreation area. Camping is $15/night (not as cheap as two years ago, but still pretty cheap). Day use is $5/day (still pretty cheap) if you don't want to camp but want to visit us on Saturday and share the cake. This will be rain or shine -- we'll have the Tent of Doom there.

Bring wine, firewood, and your sweet selves.

The site has no flush privies or showers but does have well-maintained port-a-potties.

Thanks for the weather forecast, Regis. Let's cross our fingers! But I'm bringing the Tent of Doom  and the annex just in case.

I'm afraid  that I can't make it this time. See you at Bus City.

Sorry to miss you, Gene. Take care of yourself, and we'll see you in May.

I visited the campground today, and it looks good. Couple of things I need to point out here:

1. You'll need "exact change" for the pay envelopes at the gate; the caretaker does not make change. You might actually want to bring your money in increments of $7.50, so you can either pay for the site in full or repay the person you're sharing space for. BTW, the $15.00 fee is per night, per slot, and the second vehicle in the slot is free.

2. If you're coming up from the south and need groceries and/or ice, you'll pass a Raley's at the intersection of 99 and Bridge Street.  If you're coming from the north, there's a Safeway in Gridley, about six miles north of Live Oak. (The latter won't carry block ice, though.) There are a few other supermarkets near the intersection of 99 and 20.

3. I hereby declare that Friday night will be Pizza night. Coleman camp ovens are solicited,  and I'll be bringing mine as well. As for Saturday, what do y'all think about a potluck?

4. I expect to get there around 1 p.m. or so.

John -

Thanks for scoping things out.  Laura and I will be pulling in on Saturday, mid day.   I got another mando for you to check out.  My repertoire has expanded quite a bit since Thanksgiving.  Need a guitar player there.  -Rick

So are we going to potluck Saturday night?
