This event takes place at Lake San Antonio every August. The last time I
went we had a small crowd, just 750 on bikes and another 300 in campers and
mobile homes. Loud bikes all day, loud parties all night.
They look forward to this event the way we look forward to Lassen! I'll be
in Oakland on Friday anyway so I'll stop by the clubhouse and find out what
weekend they plan on being there.
The temps at Lake San Antonio are brutal in Aug. I like the idea of the
Buttes, but those mosquitoes up there take no prisoners. 8^)
Hey, Michelle, you got room for about 40 scopes.
