Bob Palin Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I will overnight in Torrey on Saturday, July 10th on the way to the UN. If you have similar plans on the way out to Nevada, drop me a line and we can go grab a meal together on Sat. night. Cheers! This was directed at anyone that may be in Torrey that Saturday--not just my old friend and spelling bee champion. Cheers! Oh good, I'm planning on being Torrey that day too! Link to comment
Limecreek Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Excellent! I wasn't sure you still had the house in Torrey Bob. SWMcKinley is riding out with me and we are booked at the Chuckwagon. Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 We'll be booking at the ChuckerWagoneer this weekend. Can't wait to see you two fellas.!! wOOTwOOT Link to comment
virgobiker Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm signed up! Will meet you all there. Looking forward to it. (Now, if only I can get my butt in gear to get to Torrey; one of the most beautiful places on this planet, IMHO.) Maybe September... Link to comment
virgobiker Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 And I mean Torrey XIX, not the stop on the way to UN-IX. A bit too far off my route... Link to comment
Bullett Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi Suzanne I'm looking forward to finally getting to meet you in person! Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 sIRrODNEY & Tim/Lori & I will also be in Torrey on Saturday (*Chuckwagon??) We then head to Ely, NV for the Sunday night stay. Then on in to Topaz on Monday. tOPAZ ON mONDAY still the call - but we will not be heading to Ely, NV on Sunday. We'll actually leave Torrey and jump down to Zion and camp. Then Zion to Topaz via coming in from the south of Calif. should be an interesting trip. See ya in Torrey, Lime & Steven.!! Link to comment
Limecreek Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 See ya in Torrey, Lime & Steven.!! Same to ya Bone. BTW, I've been watching the long range NOAA forecasts and right now the West is looking at hotter than normal temps May - July. Camel backs and evaporative vests, along with Gerbings for the mountain passes will be in order. Looking forward to seeing y'all. Link to comment
Dennis Andress Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 On the west side of the Sierra, August and September are usually the hottest months, when places like Fresno and Merced can see 110 degrees. June is pretty mild, kind of an extension of May. Early July is the start of summer, with temps in the 90's throughout the San Joaquin Valley. It gets hot in the mountains too. Look for mid 80's in Yosemite Valley and along Hwy 41 to Mariposa Grove, where the big trees are. Kings Canyon and Sequoia will be hotter. Summer traffic in Yosemite and Sequoia can be brutal. On a weekend expect to be in queue at 35 mph. Ditto what Greg said. Carry water, and drink it. Even if it's cool at 8,000 feet, it's an arid place and your body will dehydrate faster then you expect.

Also, I have a bed available if anyone is looking for a roomie, or if someone else is looking, let me know and I'll free up my room. Thanks Link to comment
blaisew Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Add one more to the Torrey/Ely route. I'm booked at the Chuck Wagon as well, and at the Bristle Cone in Ely. Silver RT en route from Colorado. We've not me, even though you are just down the road, and I've missed your hill country rides so far, but now that I'm retired....
