Poof and I'll will never see 2 mph. But we have head lamps. There are two routes to Hobbs, we can take the easier of the two.

I think you may be seeing a lot of me again this hike. I can put in some slow miles myself.

I may have to get an earlier start if I want to ensure getting to the cabin before dark.

Buttered up rangers sounds like a good idea.

I haven't been out for a while so the 2 mph is a no go for me also.

[Ewker]

Yeah we tend to go 1 to 1.5 mph since we both like to check out the scenery and take pics along the way

At a casual pace, I covered the RS to Hobbs Cabin in about 4 hours. If you're used to hiking in the mountains, this first day will be very easy, since there is maybe 300 feet of climbing over a dozen micro-climbs total.

If you stop for 15 minutes out of every hour, you could still make it easily in about 5-6 hours.

If you are truly slow, you will take longer to walk the 5 miles on Saturday slower than this first walk in.

Well the sun will be up by around 6:30, so a group breakfast could certainly work I folks want to do so on Friday.

I did just realize that we "Spring Forward" when we arise Sunday the 10th!

[MedicineMan]

would certainly be awesome to hang with them again too.
Neutron is trying his best to get off.

Let's all start crossing good weather fingers for the breakfast buffet in the Gulf Friday morning.
Last time from the rangers to hobbs took me 3.5 hours-they had me freeked about hiking at night
Lot's of places if I rember right to linger on the way.

Watch your weather MedicineMan,,,weatherman this morning was talking about 6 diff. fronts moving thru during the next 2 weeks of cold and snow/mix/rain type weather. Maybe by then it will level out and have decient weather for your weekend. Wished I was there,,have 2 shows to set for that weekend and now have to bounce up to Clevenland to see and visit a possible show contract for the future..so really tied up that weekend now. Will enjoy your posts and videos of this weekend. I have fished the lake there in tourneys before. Awesome country.

I may well be joining in on this! Very excited! If we do the group breakfast I will bring some great bacon to cook over the fire!
