For the streetbikes, you've probably figured out by now this region is a utopian place of motorcycle bliss. Check out the Pashnit Roads site to check out the area roads, main ones, mtn passes, and surrounding paved goat trails.

Nearby Roads are Hwy 88 - Carson Pass, North-South Rd, Hwy 4 - Ebbetts Pass, Monitor Pass and even Lake Tahoe is not far away.



CAMPERS & TENTERS: Lots of room for tents in a football-field sized grassy area. If you tent, be prepared for cold overnight temps. Fall at 4500 feet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains? You do the math! Warm days, cool nights.



Our host property has room for large RV's, FunMovers, Camping trailers and other assorted large vehicles. There are probably 20-30 camping spaces. If you plan to camp, trailer up your dirtbikes/quads, or use up a camping space, please contribute an extra $10 to the owner for allowing this event on his private property.



Not a camper you say?

Last year we spent our 24th anniversary May 11th at the Pashnit Gathering. The wife says we are not going to spend our 25th riding 1300 miles so I am planning a Alaska cruise. It's still kind of cold in Alaska on May 8th, hmmm,,, might be a lot warmer on May 15th? This is going to take some finagling.

I'd like to say I have a job and can't make it but will be there for sure if not! I'm getting this camping thing down pretty good. Bike may look like I'm from Beverly Hill(billie)s but I have been packing much more efficiently.

More than likely will be there!!! Had a blast at the Fall gathering this year.
