central and southern bpl ers checking interrest in some spring/summer trips

I wish I could go to this but I am going to be at the ADZPCTKO that weekend. Let me know if you plan on another one.

I've marked my calender and should be there (probably hike in Sat morning). I WILL NOT need a pass, I have an annual. It'll be good to meet everybody!

Good luck guys! That is a fantastic idea!!! Make it happen and tell the tale!

Thanks for organizing a trip for us socal BPL'rs. I already had that weekend set aside for some camping while my wife is out of town, so if there's room for another newbie I'm in.

andrew

looks like it will be a good trip it will be cool to meet up with other central and so cal bpl ers for a hike

kevin

I would love to go, but being a new dad makes my time management dicey. If I attend, no pass as I have an annual. Thanks for putting this together!

Hey Kevin,

I plan to attend. I'll be hiking in late in the afternoon on Saturday as I'm tied up Friday night/Saturday morning helping run support duty for an ultramarathon race in SB.

I've got my own annual pass so no worries on parking for me.

Cheers,

Nick

The Aerins are a "maybe." We'd like to go – more details as we figure it out!

Count me in fellas….Big Kevin, Taking the reins as the organizer of this event..lol. Everyone in attendance, please give Kevin S. a big round of applause!

Anyone from up here into carpooling?

I'll try and be there on one of the two nights, just not sure yet.

Kat I think my daughter may go, I'm still coaxing her along.

I can go backpacking that weekend but would need to carpool.

Kat, I live in Sacramento, maybe we could make it work?

Otherwise I'd love to go on an adventure in SoCal

i updated the list with all that have confirmed so far

if you have not confirmed yet please post an (im in) or just pm me and let me know so i can update you to confirmed once you know you can make it jack s pm s are not working so please do not pm him as he will not get it

trip is shaping up guys getting excited

I am a maybe for this trip, depends on sharing a ride, really. Ben, maybe we can work out a carpool; let's see if anyone else wants in on it.

A friend and I are interested, we would like to carpool and live near Sacramento (Davis). Only available for Sat and Sun, will that work for anyone?

I have work that weekend now. I can't go. Hope it goes well!

I've been out of the loop lately, good to see this thing is coming together.

Unfortunately thats the weekend before my family leaves for Portland for a week, so I dont think i can make it. Of course, thats what I said about the last BPL meetup and I managed to show up somehow. Hopefully something changes and I'll be able to make it.

This month is turning out to be a campoing extravaganza, Im backpacking this thursday – Sat (breaking in my nephew, his first real trip) then the week of the 17th I'm headed to central Oregon for a week, and the following week is the BPL trip? Damn!!! I want to make it out, just not sure, but I will try at least for a one nighter!!

Ben you're not going to make it to the Lost Coast trip? Should be a nice one. I thought it was the same weekend, if not I might try to make that one also.

since my son has decided not to attend this trip i get a chance to try out my new tarp not seam sealed yet but will be however i have had it in a pretty good storm
with no leaks

anyone else going to be tarp camping this trip??

kevin

Cool looking tarp! Very stealth.

I'll be either tarping it or cowboy camping. Good chance you might be camping on sand around Bear Canyon so plan accordingly for stakes or just plan on using sticks/rocks as deadman anchors.

If you don't bring a bivy, you might want at least a headnet, the mosquitoes/flies can be a bother around the creek sometimes in the spring.

Should be nice out there! Lots of water this year, warm daytime temps, mild evenings typically.

Jack it's a sticky situation. I have mandatory work the weekend of this trip (also the weekend that I have a lottery ticket to Coe backcountry) and a wedding this coming weekend. Making both would be ideal–but making none is the reality this early season for me. Go in my place please sir.
