In case the coordinates are too specific... and so no one can say they didn't know... Have we established a time to meet yet? Trying to plan out drive/rest time.

Ok. Well, I'll plan to be there way early so I can take a nap if needed.

We are coming in on Thursday night and hitting a hotel. Nine am works for me.

Anyone in the market for a long gun?

Ruger American 30-06 with Bushnell AR 308 40x18 scope. Case and 20 rounds. $500

I figured I'd mention it just in case rather than get up on the mountain and find someone interested but not have any cash.

so, this was a good trip, i had a Fckin blast man, Mike said it best on the trail, this rig "continues to impress me." a lot of the terrain has been heavily beaten on for the past few years. It made some of the puddles larger, the rocks were showing more as well. I got quite a good bit of footage that i am rolling through, once i get some of it clipped i will post. I know that Mike and Rory got some good stuff as well. The trail is definitely different than last time i went..... I plan to go up there next month, not sure on the dates yet, but i will post in case anyone wants to come.
