Gravel Grinding

I don't see a better place to post this for anyone who might be interested - @Mikie if you want to move it feel free.

I can't make this, unfortunately - I'll be in Zion - but I'd love to. Looks like a great time. Maybe next year.

Limited camping is available at the park for $10/night. No hookups.

The Raymond area is rustic and rich with history -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond,_California

The Raymond Museum and historical town site help tell the story Raymond's rich past. The Raymond Granite Quarry is in operation today, as are the historic Raymond General (Store) and Hills Pride Inn.

This is cool. Good for them for putting something like this together. I hope it works out for everyone involved!

 

So much good stuff in that area, and FCC makes hay!

 

That does look like a fun route with interesting vistas. I have a Sporting Clays tournament that same weekend ..... crapola.

 

Looks horrible, but I LOVE love love their sense of humor and wit!

I'm in for the kegger!
