Hi there! I just phoned and left a msg with Mr. Bill... then I decided... what the heck, I'll go ahead and join the forum..

We will be going to HAN and meet up with you on Saturday. We're going to cruise up 88 on Friday... we have a place in Chilcoot, and our little doggie, Jake, is coming with us so we're going to leave from there Saturday morning (and leave Jake at home too..)

I don't believe I've met any of you except for Shar... I met Shar at the Novato Brewery meet and cruise to the coast.

See everyone next week!!

Okay folks, gonna bump this thread back up to the top....

For those of you running up for the day on Saturday the 13th, we will be meeting at Brookfields off the Eureka Rd exit by 7am and leaving promptly at 7:15, that should give us plenty of time to get to stop along the way and stretch our legs.

I would gas up before you hit The Summit Reno, There are a lot of stations on S Virginia St. I believe there is a Chevron about 1/4 mile up Mt Rose Highway just past Summit.
