oakhurst online bbq at bass lake...new dates added

[Dodgergirl]

[TOT]

I'm not voting because I don't know yet if I'll be working either of, or both of, those days.

But i'll try to show up whenever if i can http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/grin2.gif

[Mibrew]

Me either.....

Sunday is a bad day for people living out of town or the Bay Area, that's the day to drive back because we work Monday Mornings.

No Karma points for any of us http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/sad2.gif

Some day we will Rise and Conquer this travesty agianst Bay Area/out of towners people http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/wink2.gif

[Jimi]

Mi ...... just take a vacation day or two .... and Matt says Karma points for all ...

[motherof4]

I didn't vote eithier.I will be up that way camping.Leave here the 20 but thats a fri.Still trying to find that perfect camping spot.

[Peppermint Patti]

Either or. Let's set a date soon. Like MiBrew says-Sundays are tough for us "out of towners" but Hey Brew-do like I do-start your commute about 5:00AM Monday morning, drive the Pacheco Pass with the other nutso's who moved to Los Banos, drag your sorry *** past the receptionist mumbling inane excuses, curl up in your cubicle for a short nap, then show up for your noon lunch meeting smelling like Bass Lake!
Extra karma point's should be awarded to those of us who sacrifice our sanity to be mountain folk- if only for for a few days a month. Now that's love!

[Mibrew]

I feel sorry for ya Patty, I would not want to commute on Monday mornings, I start work at 6:00 in Mountain View, right next to Google, I work From 5:00-2:00 on Fridays to get an early start if I decide to go to Oakhurst.

What your best time from Bay Area to Bass Lake?
and which way do you go?

I used to take 152, 99, 145, 41 now I take 152, 99, 20 1/2, 415, 41

[Mibrew]

Patty,
Also do you avoid that Hollistor He_ _?

156 meets 152 and those Bozo's that stop where there is no stop, and it can back up to 101.

[Dodgergirl]

new dates added.......see above post

[Kahlua Kid]

The 18th you have to come to my Partylite Candle party!!!

So the 12th, Sunday is looking good!

Stop buying up property and get a Helliocopter
that way it will be a 40 Minute trip.

[Peppermint Patti]

Hell-Oh-Cop-ter. Not a bad idea! Can we land in your parking lot Surfus? Maybe we Bay Area cronies can go in on a private choppper(as soon as our stock options rise above what we originally bought them for) http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/disappointed.gif
But for the record-I've been lurking this site long enough to have picked up MiBrew's secret back roads to Oakhurst. (Frasier Lake Rd-and 20 1/2 through Raymond) My best driving time in a Subaru Legacy=3 hrs 10 min-lawrence Expwy/101 to Vons-Oakhuurst. But now that it's been brought up-who's got the record? This could be a new thread!!!

[Raider]

Sept 4th is Sandman's birthday I think, so why not make it a birthday BBQ.

[MtnEagle]

Great! Now I have to buy him a gift! Thanks a lot RaiderFan!

http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/laugh3.gif

[Jimi]

wait ..... we can call it a MadHatter party .... where he buys us all gifts ....

Hey Kahlua-I could use some more Partylite candles. My local Partylite connection moved away and I'd love to meet ya and talk about mountain gardening (and candles) I need more of those tea candles and I bet my sister in law in Mariposa would like to come too. Ok maybe I'm being pushy but can I come to your party? Get in touch-then I can plan ahead...

Ah Brew I feel your pain-I was thinking about hiring some of those guys that stand on steet corners with headsets on, shaking big signs that say "Only Morons Stop Here" or something equally appropriate. But then all those morons would only slow down to look...ya just can't win....Meanwhile I do Frazier Lake Road-many thanks to one of your earlier posts! Thanks to you and OO!!!

[Jimi]

Hey.....

if you are going the back ways ...... come up Robertsvile road through Chowchilla ... then out Daulton road to road 600 .....fun road to ride....almost a roller coaster

[Kahlua Kid]

I love that "Rollercoaster!" The first time I took that shortcut to Chowchilla I had no idea and when I came upon that I was happily surprized!

[Jimi]

yep .... so instead of going all the way to 99 on 152 you go north on Robertsville road... you then get to do a bit of winding up the hills.... but is faster then going most other ways... then through Raymond to Coarsegold... or in front of the dam to road 400 and to YLP ....

[Dodgergirl]

OK guys, I'm going to Chowchilla to see a pug breeder, what's the best way to go? I'm in Teaford.

Right now I'm going back to L.A.

[Surfus]

Ya but I only have 2 cheep pistols
Can I bring my real guns?

[concerned]

I only have a water pistol but I can fill it with red ink.

[Raider]

We really should all get together and go to a paint ball park,and have at it. http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/smoking.gif

[Surfus]

who needs a Paintball park
Lets just run around oakhurst like a bunch of idiots. No one will notice.

[Jimi]

we have a paint ball park just outside the gates of YLP ....... famous people have played there ....


Cat Scratch fevor

[TOT]

i vote 'yes' on running around like idiots, 'no' on paintballs because i have enough bruises as it is!

Here is the fastest way, I think http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/wink2.gif
From Teaford, take 420 (Thornberry Rd) over to Coarsegold. From Coarsegold, take 415 to Raymond. From Raymond, continue on the same road to Chowchilla. You will take the roller coaster road that everyone was talking about. There are a few turns (right, then left, then right again, then left, etc.) but the turns are pretty well marked if you are looking for the signs.

[Sandman]

I think I could make it on the 25th.

The first weekend of Sept. is my B-Day and I am taking a vacation week... may go out of town. The following week I will be in New Orleans spending time with my Grandmother (Dad's Mom). She lives in Palm Springs, but got free hotel stay and my family is buying a plane ticket for me for a Bday present.

So, the end of Sept is best for me. http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/wink2.gif Yes, 25 karma points will be awarded for those that participate in this event.

[beautiful_mess38]

so we're going to be paintballing. cool i know who my first target will be...hehehehehe http://oakhurstforums.com/icon/dozey.gif

[concerned]

My daughter was born at Good Sam. She weighed at 5lbs 15ozs. That was in 1966. She is now a police detective sargeant with a master divers certificate and a black belt in Karate.

[Raider]

Wow this thred has gone all over the place. By the way what's the biggest fish you've ever caught?

[Jimi]

[Kahlua Kid]

been

[Kahlua Kid]

decided

[Kahlua Kid]

upon?

[Kahlua Kid]

OK hope I got your attention!!!

[Raider]

And your point is...?

[Dodgergirl]

according to the votes, it looks like sunday the 12th or saturday the 25th.
would like to finalize a date, and how about a time?
1 o'clock?
3 o'clock?
earlier?

[Sandman]

Perhaps you should start a new poll with the two dates. I'd say 1PM or so would be best, then people can stay however long they want to.... but 3 would be good also.

[Dodgergirl]

I'm thinking saturday the 25th at 2 pm, but i can't think of the name of the picnic area we used last time. anyone remember?

[beautiful_mess38]

are we paint balling or going to the lake?

[TOT]

the name of the place is on the tip of my tongue, i keep starting to reply but then forget it....

it's by or has something to do with PG&E, yes? i'm sure Mat knows...

[Jimi]

Bass lake ... you went to bass lake .... am I close ?

[Newcomer]

The last BBQ was held at Lakside Day Use Area. From The Forks, drive towards Millers. You will see this newer day area on the left (lake) side
