Great routes Andyrew!

Sometimes the June lake loop is closed on the North end. If so we can go down and back from the South entrance.

Not sure about the other roads but I will try to verify.

I just did an Arial flight (google earth) of the Bristlecone drive.. *Goosebumps*

Ninja edit! Durring my flyover of the Mono lake drive I noticed that Owens River Road turns into dirt halfway through... So thats why the ranger didnt mention it... Revised! Shorter drive now. More room for activities!!

Except 108 and 120... The two fastest routes to Mammoth for me.

Andrew, why aren't you bringing your teener? Isn't it finished?

There is lots of stuff to see around Mammoth. Extra time will be welcome.

Having longstanding issues. I havent been able to fix a warm start issue for a solid 6 months. It will crank and crank, but not fire. Every time I replace the crank position sensor it works fine once then the next day no. All started when I was trying to optimize my cooling system. Not only that my steering system is fubbarded (U joints binding) and my brakes lock up the right front.

Besides I have a shit ton of stuff im brining. The back of the fiesta will be fuuuuull.

We can go for a ride in the Fiesta, I promise you it will not dissapoint

Caravan from PDX ....................... ????

Matt (914Rubber) and I will be leaving the South bound Wilsonville rest area around 3am on Thursday.
Both of us will be pulling trailers. I'll have a complete race trailer tool box, floor jack, jack stands and a pop up. That should take of any problems that folks might have along the way.

Hope we can some folks along the way ....................

Damnit. I wasn't aware of that. I was hoping to see the Red Monster. Well don't feel bad. I've been chasing a fuel delivery problem for a year. I may have it right this time. We'll see.

Route 66 half-way location...pretty cool! Oh - and Cadallac Ranch - LOL!

If anybody knows someone who may fall in love with Mammoth Lakes and who wants to own real estate, a restaurant or both.......I represent a seller who has both (operating business is CJ's) on Old Mammoth Road and was voted "Best Burger" in Mammoth Mountain.

party time is drawing near - I'm ready to go

Does anyone have some extra space in their room for two nights?
Trying to find some sleeping space for two older teenagers.

Amoy's son (car guy in the making) and a friend are coming up on Thursday and leaving on Saturday, would be nice to find them a bed instead of sleeping on the floor in our room.

My room has 2 double beds and I'm solo so that leaves 1 of them open. Maybe not what you are looking for but you're welcome to it if it helps. I'm there for 3 nights.

Yep, agree! Andrew deserves some kind of award for all his hard work.

Hmmmm...

See you guys in Gardnerville, NV. have a safe trip.

The community in general deserves a award


That being said, yes we have a LOT of time in this even though it really doesnt show that much..



Speaking of awards, Mueller dropped his off trophy tonight and it looks amazing! I'll post a sneek peak later on. A reminder that its the whole community that makes these things happen!

thanks andyrew - classy response - you're a mensch! brad in seattle

Spent Memorial Day weekend in Santa Fe, now have just 800 more miles to go!

I will be packing the truck up tomorrow and bringing some 914 swag for the raffle. Please give me some ideas of what you guys would like. Also if you guys want to order anything for me to deliver I can do that too. See you Thursday.

Do we have a reserved parking area? Walking too far at 9,000 feet just might kill me....
gg

Yes, We have the main lot nearest the hotel all to ourselves

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mammoth+M...;4d-119.0388447

Personally I want some fiberglass door cards

Nice!! Plenty of parking. The picture you provided is encouraging as the hotel resort picture shows a lot of snow. Must have melted already. Thanks,
gg

So. Cal. Guys Driving up Thurs. Morning.

Several of us are meeting at 7 am at Sweetwater Bar & Grill for breakfast. Yep, a bar, for breakfast!
Join us if you like. The more, the merrier, or whatever....

See you There....

Oh thats just google maps. There will be snow just not on the road

Has anyone received weather alerts re flooding from rapidly melting snow ? I received one via the weather channel app....

Who's coming through Sacramento on the way to WCR on Thursday?

Need something picked up and brought to the event...

I'm leaving San Clemente O dark thirty Friday morning......

Anybody else driving up around then?

We're leaving Petaluma about 6:00 AM so should be through Sac about 8:30-ish.
What do you need picked up?
Call if it's easier to talk details: 925-708-5295. PM sent, too...
Chris

Leaving PHX at 0400 on Thursday which should put me at the I-10/215 interchange around 9:30. Hopefully will spot some of you going up 395.

Chris,

I got it, thanks for volunteering though! (I work in sacramento)

Just checked Google maps. It says 12 hours. When I checked a couple months ago it was 15 hours. So we should be there in time for dinner on Thursday.

hey - any car wash stuff at the event? thanks

There will probably be a hose somewhere, apart from that I cant say

Of course.

Trash Cans Wash Buckets and Clean Towels are thoughtfully provided by the host hotel.

Hopefully they will also have Tea & Skrumpettes.

Slight confusion on the parking arrangement, They thought we wanted just some spots reserved, which I clarified we wanted the whole area. We might be taking the back lot. Should have plenty of space for us.


I'll let everyone know, but they made up some signs for us so it'll be clear.

Is the parking area under pine Trees ? Or open to the sky ?

All parking that I can see is in open sky.

The backlot looks nicer anyways ...

Its also further away from prying eyes.

And closer to natures bathroom.

We are all gentlemen, so there won't be any tree watering going on.....
