    Robert, the loose plan is to ride through Yosemite on Saturday, probably leaving camp between 9:00 and 10:00. We're cooking breakfast in camp, and our departure depends on that prcess as well as minor repairs, social interactions, and so on. It would be great to encounter a new XSive (XJive doesn't flow from the tongue as smoothly...sorry), especially one so close.

    Why isn't there a Golden State XSives Club? And a monthly ride-in breakfast somewhere?

      Maybe because California's too big?

        No doubt Pat. That is exactly what I was thinking.

                    LoHo, I'll be making hotel reservations NEXT WEEK. Anyone NOT wanting to camp, let me know via PM or here, and I'll add the rooms together.

                      I made my reservation yesterday. On the map, it looks like about 6-7 miles from the motel to the KOA.

                        Anyone else up for Yosemite? Pat, how's the trucking biz?

                        Tkat, are you making an appearance?

                        Spot, are you camping or Kabining?

                          Been busy. I usually have Saturdays off so I might try to ride there for Sat afternoon/evening.
                          Got home fron San Diego yesterday. Got to visit my sister that lives there. Heading to Portland OR tomorrow. Probably L.A. after Portland.
                          Making lots of $ , but much less riding now

                              Hey Keith, I see that you work in some sort of custom shop in Sanger. Is it the sort of place some XSives might like a look at?
