Wow . . . course C looks almost as crazy as course A.  

  Let's keep this tread going.  I can always make plans early for next year once we come to an agreement.  I think next year, though, we should do a weekend in mid-September or something.  What do you all think?  Last year we did it in October.  The weather was great, but everyone ran the chance of it snowing over Donner Pass.  I don't think there's much of a chance of snow anywhere in September, and we'd still have decent weather.
