Update from Pierre
Just off the phone with Pierre, and he's on the way from Las Vegas to Sacramento this morning via airline. From there, he'll rent a car and head to Paradise, where his folks live, arriving this afternoon (Thursday).
Pierre has been watching this thread, but has been unable to post...looks like a password issue (DR, I think he shot you an e-mail on it).
Pierre's very excited to meet local RVers, and is up for a Saturday git-together at Chico (CIC). He asked that locals (either there or that are flying in) please post a time and place for meeting up. Not sure if anyone is based there, but on Airnav.com I noted one FBO and an Airport Deli listed. If you are heading to CIC Saturday and have any ideas, please post them here.
His itinerary for his trip is Paradise today through lunch Wednesday 12/17, then off to the SF Bay Area to visit his kids there.
Since I'm working Saturday, I'll sadly miss that hook up, but will try to head over the hill to CIC tomorrow or next Wednesday, weather and airplane permitting. Mike S, could pick you up in Cameron Park if you're game!
Will post more on Pierre's behalf if he can't log on later on.
Cheers,
Bob
