From: Morgan Hannaford Subject: OFFICIALLY-UNOFFICIAL TRIP Date: Thu, 27 Oct 1994 20:00:33 -0700 (PDT) So, it looks as though a spring dirt fest is being tossed around as a No.Cal. netters get together. Mendocino National Forest seems to be an ideal area; lots of rural to semi-rural camping areas. So far we have interest from: Granville, Terry-Ann, Eric Cope and me (Morgan H.). I'm sure other extended bay area folks will be interested, even the "e-mail challenged". Looking at my handy-dandy Mendo-Nat-Forest map it looks as though, depending of the weather, many campground/day use/OHV use areas are open around March-April. My experience up there, I used to work in Covelo (don't be sorry), is that many dirt roads are shut down during winter to prevent erosion/people getting stuck. Also, considering the current state of Granville's and Terry-Ann's Land-Rovers we don't want big fix-it jobs to be rushed. How about we shoot for March 1995. This will give time to tell people not on the net, get trucks in tip-top shape, and maybe make some reservations depending on how many vehicles are interested. Something like a weekend would be nice (i.e. meet on Friday night/Sat. morning at a campground; drive around Saturday; tell tales and top up the 90wt. Saturday night; drive more Sunday; then drive home). CB's could be used so vehicles could locate the party at any time over the weekend. We can pick the actual date later on depending on individual schedules. I'm excited already! A nice change from parking the truck on the lawn at a British car meet. Give an e-mail if your interested- Morgan Hannaford U.C. Berzerkeley '69 88"
