Let's go Camping on the American River

Dates are Friday-Monday - check in is at 4pm, but some of us will be there a little early.

If you haven't signed up yet, there's still time, please call directly to make your reservation: The American River Resort at (530) 622-6700. They have cabins, glam camping, RV spots, and tent cabins.

Dan will be leading a ride on Saturday and Mike has posted his ride for Sunday.

For those that do not want to ride or who caged it, there's plenty to do: There are 2 white water rafting companies that run the river within a couple miles of our camp. All-Outdoors is one of them and I saw others just google white water rafting on the Coloma.

If you like to fish, bring your pole and license; wineries; hiking; explore Coloma and the history; or just bring a book and sit by the river or swim in the pool at the resort.

One let down, with the high fire danger, we will not be having a big campfire at night. Still bring a chair and we can sit around the firepit and tell stories and have a good time together!

Saturday's ride - Saturday's ride is a ~3-4 hr ( ~100 miles) loop (with stops) through the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. A lunch stop at the Ice House Resort is planned after ~2 hours of riding. Map of the

See you in 2 weeks!

So here goes for the food!!
As for the cost, We need to know who is going to eat so we can figure out how much to buy so as to figure out the cost.

Friday night: Lynn Lynn's recipe of Jambalaya (It was a huge hit at one of my Super Bowl parties) Salad and garlic bread

Saturday Morning; Biscuits & Gravy, fruit & maybe some yogurt.

Saturday night; Mike's AWARD-WINNING BABY BACK RIBS!!! Homemade baked beans and corn on the cob!

Sunday Morning: Eggs, however you want them cooked, bacon, sausage and pancakes!

Sunday night; Sloppy Joe's (Dan will make regular Sloppy Joe's but can make turkey or vegetarian style. If you would like Turkey or veggie style please respond in the comments section).

So it's $7.00 per person for breakfast (this includes all the paper ware, utensils, napkins, S&P, Catsup, etc....) and $13.00 for dinner. That makes it only $20.00 for breakfast and dinner
