    glad you made the best of it!

    The group I go up with adds a day trip up to Downieville when in the area. [4th year now]
    Our group is head up in about 3 weeks for our annual summer trip - D'ville, Northstar, and other Tahoe trails.
    We'll be in D'ville same time as the Classic, should be fun!
