Well...since Rob brought this up, and I have been following this pretty close I will get the ball rolling
So far we have:
Rob (confirmed)
Jon (confirmed)
Rick (confirmed)
Brian
I think Elkins Flat / PiPi Valley OHV would be a great place to get together. Jon & Justin your just over the hill on 88 and your there. Rob is just up the hill from me, so were all about 1.5 hrs from the staging area. Brian, being over in the bay, has a bit of a drive, but still close enough for a weekend riding trip without feeling like a 6 hour drive....but with Bay area traffic...it could be
Date: 19-21 Oct 2012
Place: Elkins Flat, OHV area.

I will take that Friday off and be up there mid morning to get a campsite with enough room to support the crew. I will also bring my Husky (chainsaw) that is to ensure we have ample fire wood. My camp will consist of a cot, so I plan on packing lite.
If you are bringing a RV let me know before hand so I can get a spot for your rig.
The staging area is well marked off the North/South road.
There will be a pie plate and some glow sticks at the entrance for those who may show up after dark on Friday.
Friday & Friday's night meals will be on your own, however there will be a fire pit for grilling / bbq.
As for Saturday night, the meal plan will be bbq chicken if that works for everyone. I will pony up the main course....just cause I'm a nice guy
I will have a camp stove and cooking gear if anyone may need it.
The agenda is pretty simple...RIDE!!!
There is a crapper on site, vault type so bring extra.......T.P
Water: No running water, so bring plenty....
Cell Service: Sprint nor Verizion has a signal....so your pretty much out of reach.....
Hospital: is located in Jackson, sbout 30 miles away.
If all works out right, we should get a rain before hand dampen the forrest to keep the dust settled.
I know my way around this place pretty good, Rob, being close to his backyard as well, we can put some really good loops together that we all can do on OEM gas tanks.
There is a general store a mile east on SR88 after the Omo Ranch Rd turn off. Not sure if they have gas, but have supplies if needed.
Jackson is the biggest town before you head up the hill on SR88. There are several stores, gas stations for ice and chow.
One last thing, if you have a Red Sticker bike, your good to go!
That is pretty much the jist of things. As riders confirm, I will update accordingly.
Thanks and looking forward to meeting everyone!
