They had no open hours the day we were there, so we did not see the inside. Many RV spots seem to be occupied by long-term tenants, never a good sign. We were glad it was there, though -- it's a great location.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-45943697945564646872012-10-15T19:06:28.942-04:002012-10-15T19:06:28.942-04:00Malcolm, we are in the bay area now, mostly on the...Malcolm, we are in the bay area now, mostly on the Peninsula or in the south bay.

Right now, we're taking care of bay area visits and errands. At some point we might take a week or so and travel a bit further afield. No plans to head that far south, though, at least at present.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-24976174326865569632012-10-07T10:24:32.015-04:002012-10-07T10:24:32.015-04:00Last year we were in Auburn getting repairs on our...Last year we were in Auburn getting repairs on our coach done and took a day trip to Reno in the toad. We stopped for coffee and fuel near the summit and and took a small side road looking for a place to walk the dog and near a small meadow we stopped and followed a trail to a stream. <br /><br />About 30 yards into this meadow we came across a 3-4 ft stone cairn or pyramid, very nicely built with a plaque on it stating " at this point the Donner party took a wrong turn on the trail during a snow storm"..of course that resulted in them being separated from main group of wagons and led to the historic events as we know them today. We were quite stunned to have found this marker seemingly in the middle of nowhere, and it certainly set our minds a reeling.Caron and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863923332715954975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-58982877166231965402012-10-06T10:14:35.442-04:002012-10-06T10:14:35.442-04:00We were there last December.

Later this month, I plan to drive it up to Coburg, Oregon to get the conversion process started in earnest. I cannot wait.<br /><br />I return to the Bay Area from Germany next week...don't know what your schedule is, but would love to see the bus in person and possibly talk about electrics (I'm a total newb at this).<br /><br />We've talked on BCM, I can PM you my contact details there.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777728669084744859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-81154184912980749272012-10-05T18:47:13.666-04:002012-10-05T18:47:13.666-04:00Sean -
