Yes Eric, it is a fantastic spot that Ken T. thought of. It is BLM land so there are no fees, qoutas, etc. Heck we can even have a nice fire or two. We are expecting a crowd of up to or a little over a 100 this year. Of course weather could change that....like last year...(snow)

"IF I GO, THERE WILL BE SNOW"

I am really hoping that my plantar fasciitis is gone by then... :-(

"IF I GO, THERE WILL BE SNOW"

I kind of enjoyed the snow :-)

Monthly bump.

you know I'm gonna be there! be nice to see those that I know, and meet many new faces, can't wait!

So this is a 4-day event this year instead of an overnight?

We usually have a hardcore group that hikes in the night before. Then everyone else shows up. Good times ensue. Pack up slow and go home. This time around we will have an extra full day at our disposal. So Fri night thru Mon, late morning/lunchtime departure on Sun.

Eugene, I for one sincerely hope you can make it. You have been a wonderful addition to the BPL family.

Bueno. I'm planning on being there, I'll be following the thread closely in Dec. and Jan. as you guys update info.

definately show Eugene...I know that you live in NM, but we have had others fly in for this. I am sure someone can pick you up at either SF, Oakland, or SJ airports too.

We will be putting you down as a maybe!

I could pick you up at oak or sfo, oakland being only 20 min from my house

Thanks Jess...very cool of you!

I hope Eugene brings his new pack for us to drool over. That thing is SWEET!

Hey Eugene,

If we fly into the same airport around the same time, I'll rent a car and we can ride together. Let me know.

Doug, I like the sound of that!

I'll keep in touch as this thing nears. So far I'm leaning towards being there for the gathering barring no natural disasters or familial crisis. ;-)

I would likely fly in Friday and make the most of the long weekend.

A month away guys and gals!

Doug & Eugene (and ANY OTHERS in and or around the bay: kat, ken, josh, cam, david, casey etc.) what do you guys think of renting a van?

There is so many of us in the same area leaving...

any thoughts?

Not that soon Jesse! It's in February. The recon trip to the location is next month.

Yeah Jesse we will be having this in Feb. Ya gave me a heart attack there for a second

Jumped the gun a bit! :D

Who is going on the recon trip? I might be free
