Hi, folks! I just came back from looking at a campground on the Feather River, 55 miles north of Sacramento. It's very much like the Sandy Beach Campground at Rio Vista except for the lack of flush…Continue

"Another option for the guy ropes is to run some battery powered string lights along them. Also, because the rain tends to lock the smoky air in the tent, I'm bringing a couple of battery operated fans to experiment with air flow if…"

it's about eight days before I'm to head out on my great Steinbeck trip, in which I'll be tracing the route that John Steinbeck took for Travels with Charley almost exactly a half a century ago. Wish me luck.
There will be three fundamental differences between Steinbeck's journey and mine:

John, If you want to double up I have a reservation already at Sugarloaf Ridge. I made the reservation online. The site is paid for already I don't know how much the second car is but I am sure it's much cheaper. Let me know so I can try to change the reservation online or we can just add you when we get there.

I added you to the reservation. I will send you a copy of the reservation to your inbox. They did not charge me for the second vehicle. They will charge when we get there.

- Thanks for the CD! Funny that I ejected the CD in the player and it was the mix you did for us last year. Dig the train theme!

It would probably be easier if you took the"front' spot so I wouldn't have to back up into the space. I'll have my little trailer, so be sure to leave enough (it adds four feet to the length of the bus).
I expect to be there around one p.m., if not sooner.

Hi John.
It's almost time for me to set up another SturmWagon debacle event!
I'm looking at some possible sites - you know me always on the lookout for a new place to try out.
Can't make the November campout, but I'll see you for the Soup-Or-Bowl.
Cya,
Ralph

Does anybody have a space to share? The sign-up site was not working right earlier.
I would like to visit with you guys but I "fell asleep at the wheel", it is too late to register now. (Posted 11/5/22)
Please let me know. Thanks, Lev

Well, Kris Hansen has pulled out, so I think that half of his space is free. You might want to check with him and with Jane, who is taking the other half.
