Sending paypal soon.

Figured you were Josh. I have moved you over to the other side. Glad you are coming!

I had mentioned that I might try to join, but so far haven't found any cheap enough flights from Portland to be able to do it.

Steven, if you can make it that would be cool. You know, it is an 8 hour drive from Portland. Some of our trips into the Eastern Sierra's take up to 8 hours to get there. It is being held on Sat-Sun but unoffically starting on Friday

Depends on what you mean by cheap enough, of course. If you fly Southwest in San Jose, leaving at 6:05 p.m. Thursday and returning Monday, it's $105 each way (plus taxes, of course). Or $110 leaving at 8 p.m. Thursday to Oakland. Only $138 each way for Friday to Sunday. FWIW.

Steven: keep an eye on Southwest. They may run a sale between now and then, which should be cheaper than ~$100/flight. Most of the time, though, their prices will gradually increase the longer you wait – though you might be able to snag a deal if you hold your breath and wait as long as possible.


I'm still a maybe, lots of scheduling to maneuver in the meantime.

Stephan, no problems. we have the space locked up for 80 and even if you are a last minute addition, you will be able to attend

Just over a month until the 3rd Annual BPL meet up in Henry Coe Park. There are still spots available for you to attend.

If you are planning on attending, and have not already, please paypal Ken T. $2 to help cover expenses. If you would like to attend, sign up! This is more about gear, networking and being a little social. Also we will be having a gear swap!

Where in the park? Manzanita Point?

"Manzanita Point?"

That's the current plan.

--B.G.--

Who? All nice people who are interested in lightweight and ultralight backpacking.

What? The largest non-commercial lightweight and ultralight inclined backpackers get together anywhere.
Gear, gear and more gear. With a swap meet so you can get some gear.


When? Feb 25-27th 2011

Where? Henry Coe State Park Fri. night at the Coe Ranch campground by the visitor center spots 11, 13, 14...
Sat. Hike to Manzanita Point group camp spots 9, 10

Why?!? To promote fellowship and to meet other "light minded" people to forge hiking partner alliances.
OK. To get out of the house in the middle of winter to go camping with a great bunch of people. And gear, beer.



We will have support vehicle capability to haul things to Manzanita Point.
