25. Mike S.-Confirmed- Michael was signed up on 10-20-09 for the trip and confirmed on 10-26-09. Somehow I missed him when I was cutting and pasting. Sorry for this guys.

Actually hold off here. There might be some confusion. I need to await a pm to clarify things here. The list above is not set in stone for the moment

I thought I read Jennifer +1 was NOT coming. That list of 25 is for the group site on Saturday. Different list for the individual spot, right Ken?

I seem to have misunderstood the confirmation process.

Is that list for both sites.

Ken H – I just want to point out it looks like "Katharina +1" occupies 3 spots on the list (7-9)….

if anyone on the other space cancels then the list of folks waiting will be pulled from there to fill the second site

Ken I will be there only for saturday night. I live in Redwood City and will be there for the Saturday morning hike in. If anyone needs a ride along the way up from redwood city to Point Reyes let me know I can fit 3 people in the sedan.

Hey guys I copy and pasted exactly what was on the wiki page far right, on that last post and thats all that shows up. Who knows, oh well. Jack

That list of 25 is for the group site. Your on the list for the individual spot. Though I'm sure you can have your choice.

To explain the waiting list.

We have a total of 29 folks attending. That is the amount for the two sites combined. Those that are on the waiting list will be moved to either campsite if some bails. So far the only ones that have bailed on the trip have been the hikers on the group site. If anyone were to no go that is staying at the small site, those on the same waiting list will be moved to that site as well. Hope this clears things up.

Here is the list of the second site

1. Cameron Kennedy-Confirmed
2. Lisa Frugoli-confirmed
3-4. Sheila +1-confirmed

Here is the waiting list as of today:

1.Ryan Krause
2.Jesse H.'s friend which would be their 3rd member
3.Greg Cohen
4.Casey Bowden's wife
5. Roger Alsborg

I just realized that with my carpooling with Jeremy and Cameron, we will be arriving late…hitting the trail at 2pm.

So I won't be there at the start to hand out the charcoal.

As such, I will make a point of bringing a few pounds of charcoal for the "fire" myself.

Since this is an overnighter, the extra weight should not be a big deal.

If anyone else is able to bring some on their own it would be appreciated.

Hey Tony, I will bring a starter log or two. I would like to carpool with you guys if possible-we can take my truck if need be…I am at De Le Salle HS Saturday morning and can not get to Bear Valley by 9:00am–2:00 sounds good. I will PM you when the date gets closer.

-Jay

hey ken, me thinks you forgot about my other hiking buddy that wanted to come, (asked on pg.9) so that would make it myself +2 let me know if that is cool…

Jesse, your 3rd friend can be on the waiting list. The trip was filled up on page 4-5. Ryan Krause is on the top of the list and since your friend was mentioned prior to Casey's wife, then he/she can have the second slot. Hopefully a spot can free up for your friend.

Jesse, I tried to pm you and you don't accept pms. Please respond to the post and let me know that you understand that your 3rd friend is on the waiting list.

Just to clarify to EVERYONE. This trip has been FULL now for about 2 months or so. There has been a waiting list. If I miss somebody, I am sorry. Keeping track of all of this is a tad maddening. Especially when other hikers that are attending keep throwing more names to the trip. Please pm me as well as post something if you would like to ADD someone to the waiting list. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, I am quite busy and only have a certain amount of time to update lists here.

Hey Ken….you can only do so much…..I think at some point you could just lock the list down and call it good…….

Kevin Smith Told me that I had been move up from the waiting list, Im just confirming for Myself, See You There!!!

actually Ryan you are at the top of the waiting list. I accidentally left off a confirmed name when I cut and pasted a couple of days ago. I am really sorry. If you notice you are at the top of the waiting list right now.

I pm'd Kevin this morning explaining my mistake. I am sorry for the confusion.

well if anyone else bails out please add me to the Going List, Confirmed I still would like to go.

Thanks

Gotcha Ryan. I am very sorry that I made a mistake. There still is alot of time. We will see, I'd love to have you on the hike!!!!!

Jay,

We Cameron, Jay, and I are looking to head out around 12 to 1pm time as Jeremy has a family commitment in the morning.

If that works for you…sure we can carpool.

My Saturn or your truck.

Starter log for charcoal sounds good to me.

Jay: BIG THANK YOU ON ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. THIS IS ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

ok guys we need a little help

jack and i are heading up friday evening as he can t get friday off we were hoping to find a campground to car camp on friday night around tracy or gilroy maybe even stockton the reason i would like to stay around there is that my 5 yr old son is comming along and if we don t leave until 5-30 or 6 pm to head up there it will be 10 pm
or so when we get there it will be a long day for him
and 5 yr olds don t do long car rides well or at least mine doesn t
my thoughts are if we drive 4 hrs and camp friday night we can drive the rest before the 9 am hike start
problem is i have looked pretty hard and can not find anything in the way of campgrounds in these areas i found a koa in stockton but they are a non tent campground
anyone have any suggestions for a place to camp around those cities and if so can you pass the info on to me so i can check it out i will get a room if i have to but would like to camp if i could any info would be great
thanks guys it will be great meeting all of you
kevin

Check out Lake Del Valle in Livermore or Lake Chabot in Castro Valley.

Chabot is nice and not far off the freeway, probably 45 minutes farther along from Tracy.

Del Valle is actually sort of far off the freeway, you're probably better off at Chabot.

If you you don't care what it looks like and want to keep it closer to home, try Carnegie OHV off Corral Hollow Road near Tracy. It's a dirt bike park, but they have camping there. It's not far off I-5 right as you approach Tracy.
