Nor Cal & North SF Bay GTG (November 11-14, 2022)

AW YEAH

Trevor and I will also be rolling in sometime Friday, if all goes well. The RV I rented this year is absurdly large, somehow that was the cheapest I could find, so we may have to get creative with parking. As always, we'll make it work.

 

[madhatte]

I will do the usual hazard tree tour friday with whoever is here Friday afternoon. 33 trees total, some we may need to get creative with. One big dead fir snag on a slight slope, nate, launch it ten feet or futher and win the growlee again! Any climbers coming?

Ten feet?!? It was 12 last time, I freakin' got this!

Yessir. All you need is a picnic table to aim for.

 

[RandyMac]

I'm not much for asking for help, but things change.
Simply put, I shouldn't be driving, my mental state has lapses built in, along with some other annoying glitches.
I would love to attend and need the social contact, but will need to be picked up and dropped off.
I have gas $ and other things to contribute. I also promise not to kneecap prius owners at gas stops.

 

[madhatte]

If somebody can catch one way, I'll catch the other. Give me an idea in thje next 24 hrs so I can adjust plans accordingly.

 

[RandyMac]

I'll get ahold of Kevin or Fraser or...

 

[madhatte]

Yeah one way or another we'll make this happen. Of note: the space in this RV is allocated weird so what I'm gonna have to do is pick up a camp cot from wal mart to give a third person a place to sleep. Sadly, that means no fourth. Sorry Aaron! The layout in here is super weird.

how about I bribe you into picking me up, I can hijack a ride back North, I am, after all a pirate.

No worries Nate my man. Just take care of my brother Randy. I'll either tent it or sleep at home (depending on the nightly imbibedness level).

We'll get you back home one way or another bro. I certainly wouldn't be adverse to making another drive north if none of our northern travelers can't take you back on their way home. Pie at the Palm Cafe.

Nate, we have cots here, dont buy one. Aaron, we can get creative, maybe a yurt is open or a cabin.

 

[RandyMac]

Kevin says he will pick me up on his way south, that end is covered.

 

[madhatte]

Well then! Looks like we got everything covered. We'll see you all in a couple of days!

Heads up y'all: dry windy morning here. So far the red flag warning should be lifted by Friday morning but if it continues through the weekend we probably should not run saws. I know that would be a huge bummer. I hope the humidity rises and winds die down...

 

[RandyMac]

This country needs burned correctly, there is nothing else that will prevent little adventures like the Tubbs or Carr fires, etc....

Ash falling on us again right now. From small butte co 5000 acre fire.

Dry, warm and breezy way up here, went out for a quick ride by the ocean.

 

[madhatte]

Last report has that thing at 17k acres! It's doing a couple thousand an hour. That's really cooking. Won't be shocked if I-5 gets closed due to poor visibility.


EDIT: can't substantiate that, most sources say 8k acres

 

[lightj12]

Inundated with smoke down here; last report fire at 18K acres. Shooting to show up at Bothe Sat AM. Jeremy

 

[RandyMac]

18k@1400hrs, it is sure to moved some
