The Diamond A motel is full. Winnemucca is only 70 miles - about an hour away depending on how you drive - I drive 80 so it's less than an hour on an easy straight highway with no curves. I've been a commuter over an hour each way for the last 5 years so I know it's do-able haha. Camping is also an option.

I'm intending on being there with my travel trailer for dry camping. Don't know what day I'll get there but I'm hoping Friday. I'd also like to stay a little longer than the weekend since I don't have to be back any particular time so if anyone else wants to go other places let me know.

We will be staying at Mitchell's RV Park on Stateline road. We will arrive on Saturday around noon PST. What is the best way to meet up with the group?

The group will meet in front of the Diamond A motel at 8 am each morning. Saturday is the loop road (Gary Green, carnival agate, purple cow and others in the area) Sunday is Thundereggs (moss agate, jasper, crystal pockets on the inside)
We will be doing a side trip on Friday out to Denio if you want to show up early and go with us.
Getting close. Tony

If you can send me a few google picture links or something I can definitely keep an eye out for you.

Yep, me too Bill. I did replace the old go to work beater with something suitable for commuting and rock trips, buy it emptied out the old penny jar. I also have a pile of around the house projects that need finishing, so it's a no go here too.
