Thanks for checking in Ric! Yes, we have two sites booked.
South Coasters, We can have 8 people per site so we still have plenty of room. Come join us for fall camping in the cool SoCal mountains. If you are interested, respond to this post and let me know that you’re camping. I’d like to get a good headcount. Thanks

Thanks for the update Steve. Dinner with the South Coasters is an added treat. Darn, we won’t get to eat re-hydrated camp food.
Speaking of that, we still have plenty of room around the campfire. The price of admission is a sipping cocktail.
If you want to camp, please note that in this thread so that I can keep a count.

Digging a little further, looks like we’re safe, since they will not close SR-74 between OC and Lake Elsinore until Friday 9pm and we will cross SR-74 in the morning.
RIVERSIDE, CA – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues work on State Route 74 (SR-74) in Riverside County from the Riverside and Orange County border to Monte Vista, just west of Lake Elsinore. Crews will be performing paving operations at various locations throughout the project zone.
A FULL 55-HOUR WEEKEND CLOSURE WILL BEGIN AT 9:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13 AND CONTINUE TO 4:00 A.M. ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 16.

The Caltrans Road Conditions site is showing the 74 as currently open.

Will arrive and join the 10/14 Saturday night group dinner at Pine House Cafe & Tavern. Check-in a cabin at the Tavern for the evening.

Eric I am still in for camping. The loaded bike looks like the Beverly Hillbillie’s truck. I need to get better at this camping thing.
I have a cabinet next to the campsite, just in case if anyone need electrical hookup or taking a shower.Attachments:

Unfortunately Lorna and I are not going to be able to attend. I double-checked this morning and I tested positive for Covid both times.
I called the lodge and left a message for them to call me back, but I’m hoping they can do something about the money that I’ve already paid for the room.
It looks like it’s going to be a great weekend, and the routes looked awesome. Have a great time ya’all!

Hi Ron,I got Covid two months ago even after seven shots of moderna. Talked to the doctor over the phone and got the Paxlovid. The light coughing symptoms went away after three days.Miss you and Lorna, see you in the next trip.

Here’s the campground map that I embellished a little for clarity. My additions should be self-evident.
I was there in mid-September and talked to the camp host, and he suggested that site 36 was the most secluded and most spacious, so that might be the best choice for the group campfires. I didn’t know what site number John had at the time, though.
I thought I had posted this in the thread, but apparently not: I will be in the lodge rather than camping this trip. I was scheduled to have Mohs surgery today on a basal cell carsinoma on my cheek and I didn’t think changing bandages and other wound care in a campground was the best idea, so I reserved a room. But they postponed my surgery until Oct 23 this morning and I’d rather camp, however I can only get a 50% refund from the room reservation so I’m sticking with that option.
See y’all tomorrow.

Your first post has a KSU from Clinton Keith at 9:30. I was planning on that.
The Wildomar KSU @ 9:30 is correct. The Rancho Mission Viejo KSU is 9:00. Barring complications, both groups should arrive at the lunch stop at about the same time.Pete -
Ron, Sorry to hear you are you cant make it. Willis’s Rx suggestion worked for us.

Well, the Covid gods have blessed me. I just had a PCR test done this morning, and the results came back Negative! That extra day on Plaxovid must have done it, though I need to keep taking it until it’d gone.
So I’ll be packing up and heading to the lodge this afternoon. See ya’ll tonight, though Lorna still can’t make it unfortunately.
