Some thoughts on CGSG*

*California Glitter Summer Gathering (not limited to California Glitterati BTW)

Check out this place
R-Ranch in the Sequoias

My parents are 'owners' at this place. The can transfer the membership to me nominally, so that I am the primary user. Otherwise would have to go as their guests. They do have their share on the market, but will probably take a long time to sell.
Can take up to 19 guests in a regular reservation (20+ is a group, and needs approval, which I doubt we would have trouble getting anyway) Guest passes are $10 each, per day.

The cabins are cute, have bathrooms, beds, bunks, kitchens etc. There's a big pool, hot tub, Rec center (with TV etc) lake, archery range, hiking everywhere, not far from the Kern river. I haven't been up there in years, but apparently lots of stuff has been donated to the cabins, but in general will need to bring bedding, and kitchen stuff (cooking and eating stuff), and food of course (lots of beer!)

It's the old town of Johnsondale, if you want to Mapquest it. From LA I think it's 3-4 hours. Might be a bit longer from San Fran.

Now, last August, the big fires down there singed the edges, so I don't know how 'pretty' it looks these days.

You can only call 30 days in advance to make a reservation, so if we went with this we might want to have a couple of possible weekends.

Any thoughts on this?

Oh. My. God. Leo is planning to take me to LA this summer to meet his Mum and family. (We're planning a long-ish trip. Let me know when you all are planning to go because I would love to meet all of you. -If I'm welcome-
