I have two spots on a permit, or you can call in for your own instead.”

“Starting August 14th - Trips Page”

“Great plan Tekdude!”

“Sounds nice. What is the total mileage?”

“I'm in...unless I can't carry a pack.”

“This sounds like a great trip - I'd love to do the loop. Let me check the trips page.”

“Do we pull our own permits for this trip? Usually, that works well.”

“durn, and i just got tickets to wyoming for aug 5-15!...”

“wingding- If the group stays together, and it's just four for the spots I've got, we're okay.

You'd otherwise have the flexibility of having your own. Here's the wilderness permit office number: 209-372-0740. From what I can tell, Greg no longer works there.”

“Phil- I think it's about 50 miles and change.

Really really looking forward to Vogelsang. John Muir spoke highly of the place. 8)

This is going to be great trip to scout out some future trips from the area as well. There are some interesting peaks in the area such as Unicorn, Echo, Tressider....”

“I know from my day hike to Cathedral Lakes last year, I'd really like to stay at Echo Lake, if not on this trip, some other time.”
