Sunset, on the deck, at Priest Station Cafe after a day on the rock
Don't forget to mention Supertopo, the beverage is free with a meal.

Get gas and groceries (I mean beer) then from 99 take Hwy 4 east, in Copperopolis go right on Main St. / O'Byrnes Ferry Rd. At end go left on 120 then a quick right on 120. Or you can take 120 through Oakdale, it's about 15 minutes longer but there's grocery stores and restaurants there.
Yes take Old Priest Grade unless you are in an RV. If you start to get possessed take Old Priest and New Priest and that should clear it up.

I'm telling you, forget the burgers. Most of those taco buses are run on a totally small scale, independent, authentic, and just plain good, basis. From my standpoint of knowledge of the food industry and human nutrition, Go with the taco trucks. They just don't have big signs on the freeway, you kinda have to look around.

You girls and boys have fun, eh? There are several Canadians in Camp 4 at the moment, who can help you get oriented if needed.

I think we should be orientated fine when we arrive. The only thing I can think of is that we will be arriving there in the afternoon and probably a bit late to secure a spot in Camp 4.

Well, if you can time your arrival for say 6:00 AM, that's never a bad idea. Unless it's raining, of course, in which case it's easier to get a site, maybe even in the afternoon. You can always stay at Crane Flat the night before, as there is usually space there and it's only 30 minutes to Camp 4. Also, try not to show up on Friday or Saturday mornings - Sundays and Mondays may be best. Do say hello to Pinky, though.

Big Mike and Relic, I will be home Friday night no later than 8 PM. I'll bring home some food from work and the beer will be cold and on tap. Ghost is coming by and he'll probably have some of his fine brews to sample. Maybe Steve G. will come by with some good Valley beta.

That sounds great!! Man, what did we do to deserve such royal hospitality?!
Looking forward to seeing you guys! We will try to get there not too long after 8:00 maybe. Traffic and borders will make it a bit of a guess.

It started with Daryl. I'm just returning the hospitality that I got from my two trips to Squamish. It's that Golden Rule thing.
edit- Traffic shouldn't be too bad but I hear it's going to rain tomorrow and since it hasn't rained in a while there will probably be an accident or three.

Thanks Darryl.... Here I was thinking that it was because I got you out climbing. ;)
Thanks a lot Wayno, it really means the world to us. Hopefully the roads aren't too slick and people take it easy.
T-Minus 36 Hours till California!!!!
