The Bar 717 ranch is really hard to find on my Garmin Nuvi. Anyone have the GPS coordinates I can just punch in for my drive up? The FJMonkey Geek needs to know. :unknown:

According to Google Earth

40-37-16.92 N
123-22-33.55W
1977ft elevation

Other directions are to go to Hayfork, then follow the signs on to "Hyampom".  You'll need to go West out of Hayfork on Hyampom Road for about 17 miles to the ranch.  There are signs in Hayfork on Hwy 3 for Hyampom.

I have a feeling you will not be able to miss it.  Remember it's "Camp Trinity/Bar 717 Ranch"

Thanks, I have this fairly new GPS that I hardly use, now I have a chance to play with it some more. See ya soon.

My GPS is suggesting taking the 36 from Red bluff. Is it better to shoot up to Redding and then head West?  Haympom looks like a faster road for the truck than the 36. Less miles or faster time......I will stay out of the twisties with the bike strapped in the back. Never mind. Just needed to think it through.

Leave your place early morning Thursday and get to interstate 5 , go north to about Modesto and pull over. Look out for an FJ, ridden or carried. Follow them closely (if you can).  When they stop unload the bike and enjoy.

PS Steve and I are leaving Wednesday morning.

I will be staying overnight Wednesday in Sacto, then push up Thurday to Redding, so I'll be on I-5 northbound ~10am-2pm Thursday.

Hope to see fellow FJ'ers on the way up.

Bring your rain gear: 30% chance.
You know the rule: If you bring your rain gear you won't need it,  but if you don't bring your rain gear..........
For the SoCal guys: It's not too late to stop by Chapparral and pick up one of those bitchen Tour Master electric vests....Don't leave home without it.

Mike, rest up, I hope you feel better.......  Everyone have a safe trip.

A couple of weeks ago, I went for a ride with some buddies. Forecast was for rain and it was overcast in the morning, so I wore my rain gear.
Well it didn't rain for the whole morning ride. So I took the rain gear off over lunch and you guessed it, rain started falling. At the conclusion of our lunch stop, the rain eased off - I still put the rain gear back on, but it was dry for the afternoon.
Anyway, was easier to wear the gear than not.
The guys I was with have now requested that I wear rain gear all the time.....lol

I'd be happy with a 30% chance of rain in the forecast.  Looking at the ride down Brian and I have a 60% chance of rain and thunder showers which in Oregon means it'll rain the entire time.

Couldn't ever find a Tourmaster full heated liner in stock anywhere, so had to spring for the First Gear one.  Spent a little extra and got the wireless heat controller.  :)  Even though it'll be raining, at least I'll be warm.

Harvy-

You need to have your boys spool up on statistics a bit.
