    No 50 miler. We'll decide how far south to go when we see what everyone wants. Maybe to Big Flat. about 1/2 way. North side best side.

    Should not be much of an issue as they all widen up near shore.

    Sorry, I meant "this Friday", as in the Friday of the planned trip, not tomorrow.

    What other weekend works for you folks?

    I know that Dave L. wants to go in June.

    I would like to miss Humboldt State's spring break out there. Too crowded…

    Well it looks like next weekend will have sucking weather as well. I am open to rescheduling this hike. What works for you all? It's a long way to come for bad weather.

    @kattt

    Rescheduling works for me. Weekend after next I have some paid hikes again, but not the following weekend. If it works for you guys, go for it.

    I have the weekend of June 11 set aside for a trip, including Friday. The Lost Coast would be good, but somewhere in the Trinity Alps might be better, if it's not still covered in snow or the creeks aren't too high.

    @rememberthelorax

    Anybody up for doing this on the 9th of April?

    High tide will be at 2:39 am and the next high tide at 5:22 pm.

    The first low tide will be at 10:15 am and the next low tide at 9:25 pm.

    Moon: Waxing Crescent
    Moon age: 5 days
    Moon light: 26%

    As others have planned, the top half and probably a half yoyo to keep from having transportation issues.

    John, I might be able to make this work.

    Any other Bay Area folk up for the drive? I can leave as early as noon on Friday from the south bay.

    The 9th would be good as it is before Spring Break. Was kinda busy there last year with all the HSU crowd out there.

    I could do this. Friday at noon would be a good time for me, as well.

    You going to camp where on Friday? They charge now at the Mattole camp. Cheaper and nicer at A W Way. Or do you want to hike in some? The 9th works for me.

    John. You in? Carpool?

    @Ken,

    Thanks for asking about this… not 10 minutes ago I was sitting here going "Hmm, I should drop ken a message and see if I can park my truck at his place and go down with him".

    This will be my first time doing the LCT so I would need you to lead the way for sure!

    For anybody else out there, I have a bit of gear I could provide if you need it…

    I have all three sizes of the Bearikade bear canisters. I will be using the scout (the smallest) so that will leave the Weekender and Expedition up for grabs. Would be cool if you could slipped me $5 bucks or something.

    I will also have a "TarpTent Rainbow" that was just delivered last week. I have spent about 3 nights in it and so far am loving it. It should hold up well on the LCT as long as it does not get hellishly windy.

    I will be using my personal "Hyperlite Mountain Gear Echo II", but I also own the "Hyperlite Mountain Gear Echo I" which somebody could use if you are up for a tight fitting (if you are 6+) 1.48 pound bombproof tent. I would really love to have a lady out there try out the Echo 1 and give me a brief review of what you think about it so I can include that in my full review when I write it up. All the reviews out there so far have been from guys… would love to get some thoughts from a lady to include in a review I am writing for these two tents.

    I also own a ZPacks HexaNet Solo insert & tarp – a wickedly light 14.1 oz tent (I might decide to use this and thus have two HMG tents up for use)

    I might be able to provide a spare "Hyperlite Mountain Gear Windrider" backpack (1.6lbs – 25.5oz) if somebody out there badly needs a pack. I will probably be using my ZPacks blast 26 so the Windrider should be available.

    Sorry but I do not have any spare sleeping bags nor quilts. I just sold my last one that I had sitting around.

    I do have a spare Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad (small) that I could let somebody use.

    And, lastly, I will have 3 or 4 cans of Optimus gas (the Swedish fuel) if anybody needs some. I bought 5 of them and pretty much think they suck compared to the Jetboil and MSR ones – sigh/shrugs.

    Anyway that is about all I can think of to help some of you folks out that might need some gear. You would obviously need to stay with the group and return the gear when we get done.

    Eureka CA.
