March 5, 200521 yr Snow+Subaru+Subieman+ STUCK = MAD, bad temper! Well if we are gonna wheel down near Carson it would make sence to meet up there... like the Costco or Best Buy parking lot? Well, if y'all want to wheel around Carson, we could meet somewhere in the middle of town, Cosco/Bestbuy would be kind of out of the way. I'm thinking the Sonic Drive-in on College Parkway (nxt to the CC Airport) would be a good central place to meet. Of course, if you're thinking Jumbo Grade, we could meet at the 7-Eleven on Eastlake in downtown New Washoe City. Just my 2 bucks

I've never been to Jumbo Grade maybe we should try that. We had good luck with "Doyale Grade" and Jumbo sounds even better!
March 5, 200521 yr Yeah, Doyle is a great place to go, wish we could get farther back than we did, up into the higher elevation forests. Jumbo sounds fine to me, tho.
March 5, 200521 yr Author Yeah, Doyle is a great place to go, wish we could get farther back than we did, up into the higher elevation forests. Jumbo sounds fine to me, tho. All right then thats the plan. What time should we meet at this 7-11?
March 5, 200521 yr I'll be there... dunno where, but Im going to try my best to make it. We meeting in the reno side, or the carson side... i need to know if I should take I80 or 50 up there. -Brian

Turn left at the crest of the hill before you get to the candy place, and the 7-11 is up a ways on the right.
March 6, 200521 yr To get to New Washoe City, from 395 (From either direction,Reno or Carson) take the "Eastlake Rd." (Dr., Blvd., whatever) turnoff. follow it to the 7-Eleven..can't miss it, there's a feed store, a bar, an old gas station, and of course the 7-11..that's downtown:lol: . Edit, let's see if this link to a map works: http://mappoint.msn.com/(z3nixh45rok2mo3cvbcryeee)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=39.28142%2c-119.74196&A=7.16667&P=|39.28142%2c-119.74196|1|Jumbo+Grade+Way%2c+Washoe+Valley%2c+NV+89704|L1|
March 6, 200521 yr Alright so what time? Noon? My thoughts are "the earlier the better", but I'm entirely flexible. TSJ, if you're coming over 80, maybe you can caravan with JB and Jeremy? If you go 50, you can hook up with me and we'll arrive from the south. You have my phone number. Big Blue, are ya in (at least so we can put a face to the name:grin: )?
March 6, 200521 yr Author I'd like to meet a little earlier as well, I have some homework to do later in the afternoon, so I want a full day of wheelin in before I have to quit. Maybe 10 or so.
March 6, 200521 yr yeah 10 works. I said noon because Brain has the longest drive and he never seems to wake up early! I have a s*** load of stuff to do tomorrow afternoon also. I blew my whole day Saturday helping my mother in law move!! GRRRRR
March 6, 200521 yr I'll probably be ariving in REno around 11am. Would put me at the meeting at 12ish. -Brian
March 6, 200521 yr I have no idea where this 711 is. is there an exit # we should get off at? I have numbers for JB, Jeremy & Dave, so it shouldnt be a problem finding you guys. -Brian

I have numbers for JB, Jeremy & Dave, so it shouldnt be a problem finding you guys. -Brian Brian, try clicking on the link I posted a few frames ago, or you can enter "3205 Eastlake Blvd., Washoe Valley, NV" (ripped right out of the Yellow Pages) into your mapping software.
March 6, 200521 yr I have no idea where this 711 is. is there an exit # we should get off at? I have numbers for JB, Jeremy & Dave, so it shouldnt be a problem finding you guys. -Brian There is no exit number.. Its just EastLake Rd. I searched through the 7-11 web site and they don't list the store out there... so maybe its not there anymore. But I'm sure the building is still there.

But I'm sure the building is still there. Hmm..I just got the addy out of the latest phone book, but it's possible 7-11 has moved out since it was published. That's the place, tho..can't miss it, I believe there are gas pumps there, too. Might be wise to gas up in Reno ("The Big City" to us Villagers:lol: ) first, that was the only gas station in town.
March 6, 200521 yr I'll give jeremy and jibs a call when im in reno to see where they're at, its possible we can meet somewhere there. See you guys in a few -Brian
March 6, 200521 yr Author All right guys, 12 it is. Brians jeading up here at 9 or 10 so he'll be here by 12 at the latest. We'll meet wherever that 7-11 WAS, if its not still there. We have everyone's numbers so lets keep in touch.
March 6, 200521 yr Alright I'll keep my cell phone on, if anyone lost the number its... 775-342-7083 and my home is 530-725-0909
March 6, 200521 yr I'll probably leave here around 9am. Grab alittle breakfast on the way out and be in Reno by 11. I'll call you guys when im in reno, and we'll catch up. The map looks easy. Just hit 395 south toward Carson, and get off on 428. From there its just a matter of looking for the right exit. -Brian
