Hoss is taking the liberty of changing up a few things as the group will be a little smaller. First and foremost the Rally Point has been changed… Still meeting in Oakdale @ Starbucks but there is another one off the main intersection in town. 1342 East F Street. Meet @ 09:00 TFBECO 9:30

· All Back roads from Oakdale on a meandering easterly direction to view the life of California Rednecks in such towns as La Grange, Hornitos passing through Mariposa before we head south on Ed’s name sake road “Ben Hur”!

· Lunch will not be as planned (Timing did not work out) as s stop gap measure, Hoss called in a few favors and had some local Indians whip up some eats for us! Bring your Pow-Wow head dresses!

· From there it’s up and over to the set of Forks (North and South). THEN Bee-sore loop! (Actually Beasore Rd/Bass Lake Rd)

· The return will be a leisurely kick north on 49 through Bass Lake, Oakhurst and ending Back in Mariposa ETA is 4 PM

· Lodging is still at the Miners Inn, and they are booked! Dinner will be at Charles Street Dinner House… A local haunt!

· Total distance should be around 240 miles from Oakdale back to Mariposa. For those inclined to slab it back it’s a short 40 miles back to Hwy 99
