Official GGG Thread READ

I did reserve a group spot at Manzanita Point for Friday night. An easy night hike. I was fairly non plussed at the HQ campground. I am open to suggestions.

Money wise. Every bit is going to cover costs. If any is left over it will go to the Coe Park Fund. Backcountry group sites are $75 a night. I am still working out paying for the parking lot. Will have a better idea on parking costs as we get closer and I have a better idea of how many cars we are talking about.

Edit. Unfortunately paid parking will be required. More about that later.

Sorry to hear that Eugene. You will miss out. Keep on the lookout for other events year round. Time after this time is #5. Watch out!

Will be coming in late Friday afternoon after work

Happy Holidays to everyone! Enjoy yourselves, play nice. Ken and I are looking forward to seeing all the new faces and even the same old ones too.

Please help defer costs of the GGG reservations and incidentals Paypal of funds is greatly appreciated.

Please let me know if you are in for Friday Night.(hint: don't miss it) Night hike to camp from the HQ

$10 or so per head should cover all expenses, with any extra going to the Coe Park Fund.

Thanks again.

Will the Friday night camp be at Manzanita??

Yes. Sorry if that was not clear.

2.6 miles from the Park HQ.

Distance supplied by the Coe website.

See first post.

I plan on coming friday night but i won't know for sure until it gets closer to February.

52 days away. Need to know how many we are in for this time around. We had over 70 sign up last time with 43 or so showing up despite the storm of the century that weekend. So if you would please chime in and let us know. Thanks.
Who is in for a Friday night hike to the group camp?

I'm game for the Friday night hike to the group camp.

Ken, I sent some money to you via Paypal.
The trip will be a blast!

I have no idea what a ggg is, but count me in I guess. Couldn't pass up an opportunity to sleep outside.

Hello,

Just proclaiming that I'd like to attend this event. I need help with the the paypal payment procedure.

Denise

Denise,

If you go to Paypal.com, click on the tab for Send Money.

Right hand side, fill in the amount of money you are sending.

Select "Friends & Family".

Filling the email address to send money to: kenthompson2@mac.com

From: (your email address)

Follow the instructions from there….as far as I can go.

In my case, I would log into my Paypal account that I setup and do the same thing.

Hope this helps and glad that you can make it.

You are going to have a blast….more geeky people and UL gear than you can shake a stick at! :)

I am thinking of bringing my friend who is a traditional backpacker to stare and laugh at the UL Freaks….hehehehe.

60 so far. What about you?

Coming up quick! Get some time off from work and come on and join the fun! Make new friends, see old friends. More equipment than you can shake a stick at. It only happens once a year(so far). So don't miss out. Carpool.

Thanks again.

see first post in thread for more detailed information

Another week closer. Man, I got to get busy.

I'll be coming Friday night. A couple questions.

I assume most everyone does their own food thing. And folks do backpacking style cooking, is that typical?

Also, is this thread the place to arrange for carpools? I'd be up for carpooling from the Bay Area, specifically Berkeley.

Doug

Good Morning Doug.

Yes we all feed ourselves. We did have some that brought some food to share. That is always nice.

Have a number of people coming from Berkeley, carpooling should be easy. Feel free to discuss that here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ken!

Just over a month away folks. I know there are more of you who would like to come. Please speak up so I can make sure we can accommodate everyone.

I am in for the night hike… probably. Night is the best time to hike.

Looks like we might be hiking in on Fri. Ken, see you there!

See you guys Friday night.

40 days away!!!!!!

I'm most likely heading down Saturday morning. For those that are hiking in Friday, what time are you planning on getting there?
