Fish N Chill @ Lake Mendo - June 18,19,20

You should check out Berryessa. It has opened a bunch of campgrounds that might have some spots open. I am thinking there if the ocean is looking as windy as predicted. I wanted to run out to the lake this weekend but just didn't make it. I want to check out the new camping situations here before everyone knows it is open.

Forebay.

Forebay.

O'Neill Forebay in Santa Nella or Thermalito Forebay in Oroville?

Man, this is a unfortunate.  You see, back in March I'd made arrangements with my father, father-in-law, father-in-law's brother, boss, and buddy to spend Father's Day weekend at Lake Mendocino.  However, we only own 3 yaks for 6 people and it was going to cost us in excess of $500 for three yaks for Saturday and Sunday.  Not wanting to break the bank, we needless to say scrapped those plans.

Instead we'll be staying closer to home and fishing Del Valle just on Father's Day.  Bummed I'm going to miss this event.

Getting campsites up there was the other major obstacle we were facing.  Best of luck with that gentlemen.

...perhaps a weekend hook up is not the best plan at this time. With the Weather finally getting consistently better, maybe a weekday excursion would be more suitable. I know most of you work during the weekdays so please don't take my stance personal. I would just rather go out (while I have some energy) and not deal with the nice-weather-weekend-crowd.

Mike, I like the sound of a Russian River drift...can you get a couple of weekdays off? Always wanted to do an over night river drift...if it's even possible....

What about clearlake? it is only about a half hour from mendo. Pretty laid back. 

I finally got ahold the Ranger Kyen has 1 loop open approx 25 sites to first come first serve and they opened the group sites at Bushy but the road is flooded so it is boat in only so is the boat in camp is the same FCFS.  Joel there are campgrounds or you can camp on our secrat launch along the river I'm working M-F this month

I'm in for Kyen - anyone else?

If somebody can get there early Friday we got a shot   don't know how well known the info is, online and their v/Mail message sys they are both closed for 2010. o yeah the group sites are $200 per nite   

Ben and jdyak, you guys game for getting there early Friday to secure a couple of sites?

* We also need to get a head count so we know how many sites to reserve.....

Ugh... Well, if my dad is busy or wants to come, i'll be there    Really wanna do a FnC with da boys!  Hey, think it will rain?
