I'll be there. I was sorry to miss Farley9n's event in Oregon last summer, but that was unavoidable. This one I won't miss.

Me, but it won't be the same without Benny.
I'll be there!
I'll be there.
Looks like a good chance of rain Saturday http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USCA0750

If you will miss Benny, I'll put him in a box car heading south. You'll have to help him off the train. Jumping is not an option for him. Or maybe he could catch a ride with one of the guys, but he'll need his ramp or they'll have to lift him in and out at potty stops. You'll have to give him his pills and special stuff each day.
Nah, I'd miss the big lug. He is needed here to hold the floor down.

A box car?! No way Benny flies first class. Buy him a round trip ticket to SJO, I'll pick him up and treat him like a king. (Best take him for a long walk before he boards).
Shapin' up to be a good party!

Yes it is. I'll be there. Will bring my work saws, plus a couple old 'uns for people to look at.
Between family stuff and days off being canceled at work......I haven't been able to get much of anything done in prep for the GTG. Hope to get caught up on projects over the winter...

So you'll be there Saturday Dave? I'll be there some time Friday afternoon.

carp, it's coming in a weekend or two.. negative on the Friday.. i'l have to talk to the boss about the deals
I found out yesterday that I have to travel for work today. I am at SFO right now. I should be back Friday but it could go longer. Right now my plan is to drive up Saturday morning but I could miss it altogether.
I have a friend who is coming that is a professional arborist. He has two questions:
1). He has a 34' RV. Is it ok to bring to the park? Is there a way to contact Sandy or someone else at the park to find out?
2). He is a skilled climber and has the gear to do it properly. Is there a need for in-tree pruning? Are you interested in a climbing workshop? He said that is something he can do if there is interest.
I hope to see you Saturday

Hiya Bob. Got your phone message after I got off work. I work from 3PM to 11PM in San Bruno.............with an hour+ commute. Was going to give you a ring on my way to work (heading out in about 30 min)..............but I see that you may be in the air by that point. As for your questions...
1)I believe we can find a place for his RV. IIRC we're going to be over by the horse barn. That area has some big open spaces. Sandy may be away on vacation right now. Hopefully Bruce will see your post and answer soon. Will send you a couple other phone #'s to try as well. Does your phone receive texts?
2)Yes and Yes! We'd be glad to have him come out. A climber would definitely make things easier. We'd also be glad to have him give a workshop.

Aaron where is the horse barn?

Bill it is across the access road from the visitor center. On your left as you drive in.
BrocLuno said that some of the hazard trees are "technical" so maybe a climber would be a good idea. It sure can't hurt anything.
Is that where they want everybody to camp?
Thanks for the reply. I'll know this time tomorrow if I am going. It's raining on the east coast. We can use some back home.
I'll let Glenn know about the climbing.

It's supposed to rain here off and on from Thursday night until early Saturday. The forecast keeps changing. It now looks like we may get less rain than what was predicted a day or 2 ago....

I believe so. The idea was that it's a large enough area that we can camp together and have some of the Saturday GTG activities there. People that wanted to camp elsewhere would be accommodated.
The early gas engine guys will be in front of the visitors center if I understand things correctly. There's a large oak down the area near the horse barn. That'd be the 'cookie cutting' wood....
