Camp n Fly 2025!!! May 3-4th!!

[Red]

I think ill be picking up @Hawaii Sloper at SFO like 8-9 depending on when i get past the city traffic (IE how early do i want to get up that morning) and than we hit the costco in santa cruz on the way. So i would say 12-2pm for us. Hopefully we dont get a grouchy ranger lady again. Like nobody was camped anywhere in that loop, we had reservations, but apparently showing up early to hang out is not ok. They did finally let us in, but cant remember if they made us pay for a day pass too.

Yep...can't check in before 2, even if the site is empty so kinda doesn't matter when you arrive.

The buggy I built back in the day: (Toyota twins and axles with Mitsubishi Turbo Eclipse motor, it was FUN.)

Today I have a Nissan Xterra. LOL

Probably around 2pm for the Aloft Crew on Wednesday. Got to stop and get our hot dogs on the way, it's a stupid tradition now.

@Hawaii Sloper and i are going to try a weather station this year for the hill. Its got a 1.9 miles range (10,000 feet) from the weather station to the base station. The distance from the hill is not directly line of site back to group camp, but its only 600 feet so should bounce around just fine im thinking. Both units use batteries that last for about a year. Figure we can walk the sensor unit up in the morning and setup the display unit during the day on the table at our camp if people want to come by and see direction speed.

I'll see if I can borrow a hotspot to get it online

Dude... That thing is SWEET.

Ok hotspot figured out. Should be able to do what Gary did in the past. QR code on both units that will take you to the weather page on the Internet.

 

[Wayne]

Sweet!

 

[thenated0g]

Next week!

 

[Wayne]

We have some spaces in the group site if anyone needs one.

 

[thenated0g]

Looking good so far!
Actually seems warmer than usual

 

[Wayne]

Best of all no rain!

 

[thenated0g]

I had bookmarked some rain gear just in case and have a tote of tarps and rope ready to go.

Its a little early but it looks like there may be some wind too!

Just did a quick plane count, and I am at 15. Time to thin the herd as we don't have that kind of space this year. I do this battle every year. Oh yeah and I may need to deliver a 4 meter ship to a new owner. This should be fun to fit into the vehicle.

Easy to fix: Trailer, Bigger Car, Ski Box on top (I have one that will fit a few 4meter gliders - that you can have).

 

[Wayne]

Hmm, you know what, you are a genius! I have some wooden shipping boxes here I can strap onto the roof of the truck. I have no idea why we didn't think of this. LOL Easy peasy.

The shirt printing took longer than expected. We are hoping to have the shirts in time to ship tomorrow, but starting to look like that may not happen. We may have to hand deliver at the event, and we will refund the pre-paid shipping.

Also, if you have the room, please bring some firewood for the evening burns.

You all bringing something for the potluck dinner Saturday Night? Please no bags of chips or soda pops. Please try to bring something you would like to eat for dinner and share with your friends.

@Wayne

Now you are confusing me (easy to do ) Potluck dinner is Saturday night, correct?

 

[thenated0g]

im going to be doing a big pot of beef and potato stew

 

[Yotaman1985]

I might have a source for firewood at my in laws up the road from Sunset. Ill check in with them on Wednesday on my way down and see if I can grab a bit.
