Climb all day Saturday and the big gathering and gift exchange ($15 minimum) will be that evening. Hopefully the meat bees will not be bad this year.

Post by: susan on June 07, 2017, 03:42:53 pm: We saw a group looking happily camped shy of the trailhead last weekend, but I don't imagine that would be enough room for a sizeable group. You couldn't actually walk in on the normal trail up there yet because it was a stream, or at least we couldn't get on it without getting wet. We parked outside the usual trailhead parking area because it's all snowy or sopping in there. To the far right we hiked in on long trees that had fallen almost perfectly and kept mostly off the muck, then gained the partially snow covered, fallen trees & needles strewn trail, which wouldn't be that hard to get a little lost on.

Surprised there was no camp host yet at the campground and would be surprised if there is still none, being after MemDay. But maybe.... :)

Post by: DaveyTree on June 08, 2017, 05:02:00 pm: See you up there. We are going to take a look at the trailhead first and climb tomorrow. If it doesn't look like we can camp there then we will be back there at that spot in the evening.

Been meaning to post photos all week! Thank you DaveyTree for gathering a great group! We had fun even though it was a bit of a gray weekend except for Saturday late in the day.

Post by: DaveyTree on June 16, 2017, 04:21:57 pm: HAha. Great pics. Yes it was Paul I was climbing with in those first pics. Thought we were on a Gastly Gulch but it was not the case. I need to get my pics up as well. I got a few from the top of that climb of people on 4 different climbs. Always enjoy hanging out with everyone.
