FYI The Modesto Area A's Turlock Swap Meet is this weekend (Jan 26-27) At the Turlock Fairgrounds, Turlock Ca.....$5.00 admission.
modesto bee today says rain all week......cloudy on sat ! you never can trust weather reports but atleast its a little good news . either way its gonna be a muddy mess
guess there will be some deals for people wanting to get wet and cold and muddy...think I will stay home this year.
Seems I am one of those like-minded folks who does it rain or shine... Any one care for an un-official HAMB breakfast on the way in? Plenty of breakfast joints not too far...
the swap is on rain or shine. People have been known to survive getting wet. I'll be there at the Cruisin News booth. Stop by and say howdy.
Turlock is all about getting wet and muddy. I haven't missed one in my entire life. Come see Rally America in Row B Jimmy
Me and my brother Stephen will be there. I'm at BB62 and Stephen is on the grass near the car coral.He is bringing some Webber V8 intake set ups. I will have a pot of Java going if anyone need a warm up.also have some Anti-freeze if we don"t use it up Friday night.
Hey how about a Hamb meet and greet at noon somewhere at the swap. I have been wanting to meet up with fellow HAMBers from the area for a while. Maybe the ticket booths between the grass area and the black top?
Me and some friends will be there trying to lighten my load of junk. We have two spots right on the edge of one of the barns. They are spots EE 55 and 56 I believe.
I'll be there, in a bad mood as usual. I hate rain and I never find anything...................please remind me why I'm going.
Guys Its Gonna Rain Bigtime I Think You Should All Stay Home And Drink Hot Chocolate...........................so I Can Get All The Good Shit This Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't missed a turlock swap for who knows how many years. when was the first one? l'll be there with my radio flyer wagon loaded way beyond its capacity
I'll make the drive down from Napa, and bring my umbrella with me,and try and find something I want...or....need. I also like the idea of a HAMBer meet,greet sometime during the day. Brian.
It didn't used to be that way when the GNRS was in OAKLAND where it should be... I've been going every year since January 1970... and I was born March of 1970... yea, my mom was pregnant with me, and went with my dad in his '65 ElCamino. So I'm not lieing when I tell people I've been going since I was a featus. Sam.
HAMBr's, make a HAMB sign at your selling location. Will be a 250 mile one way hike from the central coast. Hope there isn't any snow in the passes!
I'll be there as usual..maybe i'll take some pics so everyone can see what they are missing.... Hey no55mad...bring me a tri-tip sandwich,Nipomo style from Jocko's...Tell the monkey "Hello"
I'm coming from Oakland as well... but DoubleZO best bring me some Jimboy's Tacos for breakfast... one of the few things I miss since I moved from Sacto!
Well, I'll see if I can dream up a creative sign. I knida like that idea, but I'm NOT a creative person. In the least I'll be wearing my black Jalopy Journal shirt, which you probably won't see under my rain jacket. I've got a bunch of green 56 Buick 4dr parts I'm bringing down and throwing in a spot a friend has. Would be nice to finally meet some people face to face since I don't get out of the mountains much
The I-5 is closed from Castaic to Grapevine - snow and ice. The 14 is the only way but it is so backed up it will take you 4 hours just to get from LA to Bakersfield....... It's a bummer the weather is so bad this year.
Take 101 it's a nice drive and there are a few spots where you can cross over....Paso Robles...101 to North of Salinas @ 152 will bring you to 99 just south of Merced.
If you come up the 101, just past Salinas you can head twords Hollister on the 156, that connects to 152, continue past San Luis Reservoir to Los Banos, then 165 North to Turlock.
That's right I forgot about that as I never travel that route The weather at this minute (Fri. 12:55 PM) is cloudy, windy and not too cold....The forecast for tomorrow (per Yahoo weather) is for windy and showers.
AM Showers / Wind High 56°F Precip 30% Wind: SSE 19 mph Max. Humidity: 64% UV Index: 1 Low Sunrise: 7:12 AM PT Avg. High: 56°F Record High: 64°F (1997) Sounds like Turlock weather.
