2022 Type 3 Invasion - Crescent City, CA - June 16-19, 2022

Alright. I just got off the phone with the host hotel and as long as California isn't closed in June, we have a hotel!
The down side is trying to find feeding spots. Cali seems to be worse off than other states for closed resturants. So, I am still working on that.

The dates for the 2021 Type 3 Invasion are June 17th to 20th. The hotel is the Curly Redwood Lodge.
When you call, tell them you are with the VW group for June 17th-20th. We currently have the entire hotel (but it isn't huge) reserved.
1-707-464-2137 is the phone number. The owners are new, so be polite, and patient. Thanks!

As of early January, California has run out of ICUs, and ERs and ambulances are now filtering to only those with a good chance of survival.

The conditions of last summer are nothing like what we have today.

The hope is that the MASSIVE STUPID of the last few holidays stops, and spring vaccinations reduce risk and spread. But that is a pretty stiff set of assumptions, and based on experience, far from a sure thing.

But based on those hopeful assumptions, this should be great! We should know in a couple of months where the trend is going.

So I plan on putting down a deposit soon, but will pull it should the shutdown orders and ER numbers stay at the terrible levels we are seeing now.

Fingers very tightly crossed!

If anyone is trying to camp, Del Norte campsite is one of the best in the area, looks like things are available now but they tend to go quickly. who knows what the heck is going to happen but that is an option

CresentCity is actually a very nice little town. A lot of restaurants close to the harbor and some really beautiful Camp Grounds just a few miles down HY 199. There was a KOA Camp ground just a few miles North of the city on 101 and last time I was there it was very nice. I dont have a Type 3 but may make a run up there to just see the Invasion.

As of yesterday HY 101 was closed about 10 or so miles south of Crescent City due to a slide. ( the area is called Last Chance Grade). It is in an area that has been shut down many times in the past years, they plan to have one way traffic controls in effect with in a day or so. Such a beautiful area, so many great places to see and take photo ops at.

I made our reservation last night.

Fingers crossed that the pandemic is under control enough by then that we get to hold the Invasion.
