I think the TJ team are heading north-ish in July.

How about New Mexico in spring or fall?

Bass Lake, California

I love a well placed preemptive strike...

Ron's Chevy is a '55. The prettiest year.

Dave, A '56 has tear drop shaped rear wheel wells and a side to side short fron grill.

Route to Crater Lake?

Up the 395 through the Owens Vally, Mammoth and neat old towns. A few turns aside it drops you off in Klamath Falls an hour or two from Crater lake.

Lots of boondock spots and some are on a river.

Karen and I will take that route to avoid the san jaquin vally in June and July when we go boondockin on the ranchs.

You're right Milo, on both counts. It is the prettiest year. And I like the travel at your own pace idea. Of course, I don't have a hemi.

I am calling your bluff - PM heading your way,

yikes, we could be cousins soon

BamCamper · 02-14-2008, 08:37 AM

Dear almost Cousin TIME,

I am writing to Ralph and providing him with his new pen pal's address.

He does have a way with words so look out Kay, love may be in the air soon.

No e-mail there...he's a snail mail guy so hang in there.
It could be a while.

But do tell mom.

Best regards,

Potential Cousin Bammie

TIMEMACHINE · 02-14-2008, 08:49 AM

Ms Bam,

I could only hope my twilight years could be as exciting as our two love birds. Let's hope it doesn't turn into hen picking or worse a cock fight.

Just askin

turtle rock rv park looks fantastic, and they have showers with opposing shower heads on each wall! Prospect RV park also got good reviews and has a Bluegrass festival the second weekend in July, which we could plan for or plan around! Debbie

Milo, I love the idea of going around the grape vine (my Ford hates that road, way to bumpy), and the drive up through the Mammoth and Bishop area is so nice. My question to you is, you mentioned boondockin/river camping, do you have any recommondations. I know this could draw some heat our way but we are looking for a nice spot we can meet up with my sister from Reno,(they tow an SOB) but they are family so we love them anyway. We still want to continue over to Crater Lake and hook-up with our friends from Seattle (they have an AS), and any one else we can talk into this road trip. We really like everyones ideas regarding traviling at ones own speed, and taking time to smell the roses along the way.

BamCamper · 02-14-2008, 10:14 AM

OMG is it really THE CHILD on our thread?

Helllllooooooooo!

Glenn G · 02-14-2008, 10:58 AM

We were going up to Grants Pass sometime this year anyway. Might as well be then.

Sounds like we're getting somewhere.

Terry are you up from your nap yet?
Debbie, got a calendar?
Any ideas on dates?
First day somewhere on 395?
Goins, got a spot?
Ending up at Crater Lake area for the Bluegrass fest?

Anyone?

I dig big holes....I mean Crater Lake is agreat place

Just lets not make the first night Gorman

3rd or 4th week of July, far enough away from the 4th and hopefully long enough away from now to get reservations when not boondocking (does that mean we would miss the blue grass?)

time

Debbie, I tried to find more info on festival, how far from Prospect Park is it being held. It might still be a little close to the 4th weekend to miss most of the crowds, but maybe that can't be avoided, we are going in the right direction for sure.

First major destination : Prospect RV park ( arriving frid. the 11, or the following weekend the 18) just outside Crater Lake, lots to do and see.
Second major destination : Turtle rock Rv park,( maybe 3 or 4 days later, It looks like its only about a 3/4 days drive from Prospect, its along the coast, then maybe down into the Redwoods for a few days, how are we doing so far

BamCamper · 02-14-2008, 06:40 PM

Don't we need a starting point in mid-CA to meet to start our caravan?

Then what would be the second night meeting point?

What day would we arrive at Crater Lake? 3? 4? 5?

str8strm · 02-14-2008, 06:42 PM

My Mac is acting up, transposing letters on letters so I could not get all the mileages right but..........for us maybe.....first night near Bishop, second night near Lake Tahoe, third at Alturas, arrive at Crater Lake the next day. Turtle rock RV sounds great and it looks like Bandon Dunes golf course is about an hour from there. Any golfers interested? The stops give us 4-5 hours driving each day with time to see local attractions. We are of course flexible. Debbie
