I have to work on Friday and hope to have my butt on my seat no later than 3:30. It's 90 miles to MD park, and sweet backcountry roads. Google says it's a little over 2 hours. If you want to ride with me, just be at my house by 3:30. I know some of you are on spring break and others are working. Sacto guys, it sounded like you are just going to meet us at MD. We do have some camp issues in that most of the campgrounds all on this route don't officially open until May. Not sure what we will do about that. I'm not sure why some aren't open already...probably due to snow. In the past, we have just poached the campgrounds that were closed. Of course, there usually isn't open restrooms in that case. However, one time, with just Forrest and Alan and myself up at Pillsbury, the bathrooms were, oddly, open. And clean. Well, until Alan was done with them.
Master Plan:
Friday, depart 3:30. Arrive at Malakoff Diggins State Park by 6 or so. Figure out camping.
Saturday: Breakfast in Nevada City? Then the route takes us back roads to Yankee Jim's Bridge, Foresthill, to Georgetown, then to Coloma. The tentative plan is to kick around Coloma for gold mining history and maybe a pint. Then we head to Swen's for bbq, beers, much laughter, and oogle his truck. Floor space, 4 beds, plenty of tent space, pool if you so desire (Forrest, please use a swimsuit).
Sunday: Route is about 120 miles of fun roads back to Chico and to see the Oroville Dam Spillway on our way back. Lunch maybe?
