   [This is the "official" invitation. A "save the date" went out in July. If you replied to that and I QSL'ed, no need to do so again unless your plans have changed. If you don't remember, please reply anyway. "I work all dupes!"]
  It's time once again for radioactive relaxation in the High Sierra! This almost-annual event is a great way to breathe some fresh air and see some of our contesting friends. The burgers and dogs are pretty good, too. I usually try to do this in September, but my calendar this year just doesn't allow that, so we'll try early October and hope the weather hasn't turned. If it has, then we can move inside.
  Date: Sunday, October 11, 2014  Time:  11:00 AM until folks leave  QTH:  12921 Filly Lane, Truckee, CA (aka Filly Way)  ...  on the bluff overlooking Boca Reservoir. Beware old GPS databases that may be incorrect. See below for directions.
  Tel: 530-587-3164 House or 408-896-0476 Cell
   Who:  Friends from NCCC, MLDXCC, Truckee-North Tahoe Hams, and their kids, pets and significant others. Feel free to bring other radio friends but please let me know how many.
   Food: Ann and I will provide the grill items and a few salads and drinks. If you wish to bring something, please let me know what salad, side or beverage you have in mind so we can avoid too much duplication. Please don't bring any meat or shellfish items.  RSVP: Please reply directly to rick at tavan.com as soon as possible and let me know how many to expect.  What else: The Tahoe Sierra is a great place for a getaway. Come on up for the day or make an extended weekend of it. It may be cool for swimming or water skiing in October and rafting has shut down due to drought, but fishing, hiking,  biking, boating, soaring, flying, gambling, and partying should still work. There are plenty of possibilities for your googling pleasure. I often take a few folks on a flightseeing tour around Lake Tahoe in the morning, either Saturday or Sunday, in my single-engine Cessna which has recently been refurbished and is looking really spiffy now. Let me know if you're interested.  Directions: Go east or west on I-80 to the Hirschdale exit, about 8 miles east of downtown Truckee. At the bottom of either ramp, turn right onto Hirschdale Rd. About 1/4 mile past the interchange, keep right onto Glenshire Dr. About a mile later, at the top of the hill, take the first right on Whitehorse, immediately confronting the Damn Gate of The Meadows. Enter #BEAR (#2327) slowly and deliberately on the finicky keypad, including the pound sign. Through the gate, take an immediate right on Stallion. Roughly a mile later, after three nasty speed bumps, take the first right on Filly. Two blocks later, at the cul-de-sac, take the rightmost driveway. There is parking in a pull-out at the top of the driveway, including space off the asphalt. Please leave room for cars to turn around. If the turnout and the space beyond are full,  try the lower reaches of the driveway wherever you can do so safely or on the street/cul-de-sac. Beware of rocks and bits of rebar sticking up along the driveway shoulder and try not to run over any (mostly green) utility boxes.  Hope you can make it! Ann and I look forward to seeing you in the Sierra.
  73,
  /Rick N6XI and Ann KD6MOB
