15 weeks from today...

“We leave on our 16 day John Muir Trail adventure! I'm so excited!!!
I secured the permit reservation 24 weeks in advance... I can't believe that was 9 weeks ago, time is zooming by.
I'd better pick up the pace or I won't be ready!”

“1. North to South?

2. How many are in your group?

3. What are the dates? Where will you be Aug 4, 5, 6?

Awesome!!!”

“WW?
You been hanging out on the Yahoo JMT Club site?
This is Mel (sierramel).
I've seen your posts.
You should be hanging around with us.
I like to drag everyone I know out on the JMT every summer.
Where you been?”

“Phil...
1. Yes
2. 2...but the permit is for 4. Not sure if the other two are going or not...hope they make up their mind one way or the other...soon!
3. July 14th-29th
(home and back at work Aug. 4,5,6 )

Mel,
How was Death Valley?
Yes I have been to the JMT Club at Yahoo... pretty quiet over there! Would love to hang around with Y'all!
Just stomping around the Golden Trout Wilderness mostly :)”

“WW - Thanks for the answers. Sorry we will miss you. Have a good trip!”

“null”

“Wanderer ....are you using invisible ink ???
LOL!”

“WW...
It was as only Death Valley can be in early spring, after a cold Sierra winter...
Beauuutiful!
Yes, the only problem with hanging out on the Yahoo club threads, is that participation is sporadic until the hiking season really gets under way.
That's why I'm always here.
Nice to meet you.
So when are you going to go with us on one of our JMT extravaganzas?
We're having a small llama group get together in late September; we're going to Iva Bell (Fish Creek) hot springs for several days.
You can hang around with us if you want.
We are usually pretty nice.
Notice I said, "usually".”

“Mel...
Nice to meet you too!
How late in Sept. ?
The end of Sept. thru the first part of Oct. is a very busy time for me. Not sure I could pull it off but maybe if I tried real hard.”

“WW....
Sept 15 to 22.
Didjfan is going, as well as me and my llamas, and Grace and her llamas (about eight of them).
Nobody carries nothing.
There will be fishing over in Fish Valley, and soaking in the springs.
Take a break. Join the delinquents (us!).”

“WW...How's it goin? No invis ink, just TOOOO busy lately, I catch up when I can. I've been meaning to blast you an email. So what happened to your other two hikers? You may recall my JMT trip fell apart earlier due to my opopartners bailing (altho not their fault)...I still have my permits, look at them & cry a lot, but I'm signed on to Mel's llamarama trip so what more could I ask for? Send me a email sometime...we can get a separate trip going?”
