Man Thursday just can't get here quick enough for me.
It's 96F again and my house swamp cooler just can't keep up.
I am so ready for some cool mtn air.

Well I'll let you try it but you may not get to stay long.

Thanks Walking Bear. I can understand about not staying long

. Really there's lots of gear I'm probably gonna be all over. All I can say is anyone is welcome to go through my setup, cause im gonna have loads of questions for all y'all about how and why you use what ya do.

Just got back from the final shopping trip, looks like I'm gonna be 21lbs 9oz. Total for the trip.

Temperature was 102° here today.

if there's any snow left when we get there I may just lay down in it and not get back up.

Sorry guys had to abort trip due to problems @ home, would have loved to have made the hang and had decided to take the trek, but away over 4 wks. perhaps next yr. Have a great time and hope CO not as dry as NM. jim r

That's insane. One of my main objectives of this trip is to check out the gear everyone is using and how the hell you're able to pack so light. It wouldn't matter if I was going on a 4 day trip or 4 month trip, my pack is going to be 35 lbs at least.

Hey wolf track, would it be alright if i pick your brain about the clark? I am actually thinking about the NX-250 camo setup.

Trailryder42, Uhh yeah. Im just starting and Light and Pack dont even meet in the same paragraph yet.

My Thursday evening meeting is cancelled. I will be leaving Denver about 6:00 pm. and getting there before dark.

We are still having a pot luck on Friday night.

Some of the car camping gear can be stashed in the vehicles left at Jefferson Creek. We can keep our skillets, lawn chairs etc., until Saturday morning. OK, you can take them on the hike, but I am not carrying them.

I am looking forward to meeting you all. This is going to be fun.
