The 2nd Annual Songdog Reunion Ride April 14-15, 2007 by Catfish History The Songdog Ranch <http://www.songdog.com/> has been one of our favorite ride destinations for more than 20 years. Old friends, good food, tequila, stories by the camp fire, and the best backroads in central California! Doesn't get any better than that! They were forced to *officially* shutdown their campground operations by the county in 2004. Jim Revly has *retired* from the ranch & RevPak <http://revpack.com/> business. However, his daughter Jenny, her husband Steve, and house full of kids have moved back to the ranch & are trying to keep it & RevPak going. As their web site sez... Benefit Event I have arranged for some whim & fancy to strike on April 14-15. This is a Songdog Ranch BENEFIT event. For a minimum DONATION of $30 per person, you can join us for camping on the mesa, a tri-tip dinner Saturday night, and breakfast Sunday morning. Jenny hopes to get Jim up to the ranch for the reunion also! As with our *private* Songdog events in the past, we will setup a shooting area behind the lodge. Bring your GUNS for a little target practice before dinner. Registration Send a check ($30/person), made out to "Mike Chaplin" to; Advanced Registration CLOSES at 6:00PM - Monday, April 9th, to get an accurate head count to Jenny to buy food & supplies. LATE Registration will be accepted at $50/person. This is a rain, shine, or whatever event. All donations will go to the Songdog Ranch and are not refundable!

clean sheets & pillow) they used to rent are still available. If you want
to RESERVE any of these for this trip, then call Jenny or Steve at

The new outhouse is just around the corner. An ice chest with beer & soda will be available with a donation jar on top, but most of OUR songdoggies bring their favorite libations with them.
