So we were thinking about setting up a overnight camping trip hosted by the association. We were thinking about using a Boca campground (most likely the southern site), getting a few sites and having SSA members and immediate family come for food and fun.
Possibly we can get some boats or jet skis to be brought so we can make the most of our beautiful lakes. Spend the night (saturday night). We can have a ride the day before and end up out at the lake.
This is open for thought or suggestions. Do you have a better campground in mind? Ride suggestions?
I've got a motorhome and 18 ft boat and am 30 minutes away from Pyramid. Not the best for riding around but a nice lake eitherway.
Hey Luke, Boca is a reservoir. While Donner is a lake. A very, very cold lake

Thank you nerd.
Some friends were up at Stampeede, said it was great! Alittle cooler but still warm enough to want to get in the water. Hey SJ2477, I think you live right by me. Seeing as how the house in the background of your pic is almost identical to mine. Always looking for neighbors to ride with.
So, no favorite camp sites from anyone? Or just random thoughts?
I think Boca would be fantastic. I need to be around clean water. I heard the camp sites were first come first serve basis. If that's the case we would have to get our site by Friday morning and go from there. If you have a boat or Jet Ski bring it out. Let's do this right.
I may take the kids up there sat and camp if everyone is going to. sounds like fun. I have a little raft. hehe
I'm partial to down south, but there are some group sites at places like "Indian Creek" or "Wolf Creek" down by Markleeville. You could camp there and do a day ride down over Ebbetts, Sonora and Monitor for the day.
We were trying to keep it close to home, I know how nervious people get when they venture too far for too long. Boca is less then an hour away.
And I know that I have seen reserved sites on the south campground before so I am pretty sure that shouldnt be a problem.

With that said I want to do lake Berryessa. Twenty minutes from my house and incredible riding all around.
People in other states don't get a say!!!
(Sorry Justin)
Why are you saying sorry to him! He is in the same state as me. Oh and depending on the weekend I might come up for this. Some of us aren't afraid to venture too far from home.

I was saying sorry to him because I was forced to lump him together with you.

I know some live another 45 min south of Reno and so its about an hour 15 for you but thats still really not bad.
What about Buck's Lake? That highway 162 is an awesome ride! And it is a wonderful lake. Not that Boca isn't, just an idea. And when is this supposed to happen?
Close to home means close to LaVecchia's
I live in Squaw Valley and Greg lives in Napa. The wine place, NOT the auto parts place

Second or first weekend in September I believe is what was discussed.

Yeah but concidering this is an all inclusive event (BYOB), its going to be an RSVP type event. Hence the need to know... enough for one site? two? three? 5 wienies or 50?
If I am camping I am not riding. I like my camping "posh"; I bring my 3 burner camp cooker, wine and a pony keg, water (enough for coffee and tea as well) and I want freshly cooked dinner and breakfast the next day. I would also bring my McGregor 22' sailboat and the family (not necessarily in that order), and that's camping to me.
If this is an SSA sanctioned event, I believe thorough planning is a must ;)

You don't have to ride... I will probaby send my fincee with my truck with my camping stuff but I like to ride. We want people to bring boats and jet skies or what ever's your pleasure. Some people might even be willing to share. That would be great.

I learned on catamarans, first a Hobie 16, then a Nacra 6.0. Boy that was a fast boat. Nothing quite like a cat :) I am sure that the Corsair, being a trimaran, was really fast as well.
Putz count me in. I'll leave my carpet at home if no one brings their m$@ I'm sorry for what I said. I paid my debt to society now let it go beaverfish. Let's get into making plans for the overnight at Boca. Something no other club has done before. What a great way to end our motorcycle season

Max speed I achieved was 24.8 knots. Average speed from Camp Richardson to Kings Beach one day was 18kts. Had to sell the boat so replaced the thrill of that with Trackdays :)
