    I must admit, I am terribly bad at this.

    Or I just do it on the way and end up being late regardless.

    I'd rather you be late with your ducks in a row than on time with a "but wait, there's more" personally

    Get your parking brake taken care of?

    Oh hell yeah, you're in Felton. Nice campground in that redwood park (Henry Cowell). Perfect for kid and family camping location. 10 minutes to the beach, easy trails, etc. The first time we did the train, they were holding Highland Games there. Second time, a beer festival.

    When you start heading back this direction, stop by Cass RR in WV. https://mountainrailwv.com/#/ Pretty neat place and a lot of history, I don't recall the engine type used on the line, but they're specially built for their purpose when it was a working line. I mean, what beer drinking dude doesn't like old locomotives?

    No wheeling in WV unless you wear a helmet, even inside your vehicle. See Hatfield McCoy Trails.

    Tonight we are headed to the eldorado National Forest near Tahoe. Tomorrow a friend of mine will be joining me with his jeep and we were hoping to find some fun trails and camping this weekend. It would be really awesome if some of you local guys joined us and showed us around a little

    That's a cool area, Henry Cowell is one of my favorite parks up there. If you get a chance, check out Big Basin State Park in the Santa Cruz mountains...even better. My wife and I got married there.
    Also the Nicene Forest is really beautiful as well

    Lift, sliders, skids & some other stuff.
    If you have the time, I highly recommend making your way south via Tioga Pass & 395, down the east side. You won't regret it.
