This 4th of July Weekend
A special event
Dennis and Peggy Hale asked RSCC if they could
hold an event up here for their club from down south.
They will drive over on Friday, July 3, and hold a
gymkhana for their members at the track (our track).
Saturday, July 4 is an event, but only for their participants
and our club members. It is not a points race so don’t
worry about your record being jeopardized. Sunday’s
event (July 5) will be open to everyone but also does not count towards your points. Thanks Mike Hendriks for
heading up this venture, We all appreciate it!

Hoopa Update

I went to Hoopa a week ago to ask the Tribal Council for permission to have our hillclimb again this year. They all voted yes on the condition that we not get in the way of the water project that they are trying to finish. Barbara from the Public Utilities Division was there as well and told the Council that she didn't foresee any problems. So we are on for one more year! Now here comes the small problem. I was on my way home and decided to stop at the motels that we have listed in the hillclimb packet and boy am I glad I did. We are very limited on the number of rooms available.
Best Western Tsewenaldin Inn – 530-625-4294
The only motel in Hoopa. They have 20 rooms and 6 are already reserved.
They have remodeled the rooms and they are much nicer. No exposed 2 x 4’s, missing sheet rock or peeling wallpaper. The mattresses are all new and they brought in new furniture. They didn't know the rates yet though and remember that the price is per room and not per person (hint hint). They have a pool and there is room for trailers and cars. The whole motel is reserved under the Hoopa Hillclimb name.
Willow Creek Motel
What a dive! I am so sorry for not checking this out before.
Gambi Hill Motel – 530-629-2701
These are rustic, cute cabins set apart from each other and I think there is room for trailers to pull in and out. I looked in one and it was fine, they are not the Hilton but it wasn't’t bad, just simple and plain. Less than 2 miles east of the Hoopa turnoff on 299 and they had 7 cabins available but I did not reserve any.
Bigfoot Motel – 530-629-2142
www.bigfootmotel.com
The motel is clean and pretty nice and the room that I saw was fine. Simple. The big problem is that the National Guard has almost all of the rooms reserved for the whole month of July. I was able to reserve 6 rooms under the Hoopa Hillclimb name. They have a 2 double, 2 double, 2 queen and 1 double, 1 double, 1 queen loft room and 1 double loft room. The loft rooms are old and never used but she said that she would let us have them. They have a pool. Mary, the owner, was very nice.
Coho Cottages – 800-672-1511
www.cohocottages.com
Well, let me just say that I asked her if I could just move in. Forget my belongings and my home in Eureka; I am ready to leave it all behind for these cottages. They are beautiful!! They are brand new with gorgeous furniture, flat screen TV’s, BBQ’s on the screened-in deck, espresso machines…. Holy crap. They are very private and she is willing to let us park on the lawn behind the cottages or on their adjoining lot. I have the “Village”, “Tao”, “Fish Camp” and “Summer House” on reserve under the Hoopa Hillclimb name. The price is spendier than the Tsewenaldin Inn but I think well worth it and I have unfortunately stayed at Motel 6’s that were close. They are right by the turn off for Hoopa and behind the Ray’s Food Place a bit. Londa, the owner, was very gracious and nice. They also own Big Foot Rafting down the road, east of there.
Riverside RV Park – 530-627-3239
I did not trek that far and have no idea of the conditions.
Camp Kimtu
I was told that you could call Community Services at 530-629-2136 for the phone number and information. Don’t know any more than that.
Tish Tang Campground
I don’t know this one either.
Ok, now is the very important part. Please, please, call these folks as soon as possible to reserve a room or cottage because I gave my word that we would not let these go to waste in their busiest time of the year. They were very generous to hold these rooms for us in Willow Creek especially since this had not been done before on my shift.
Thank you and I will talk to you soon.
