The First Annual SoCal BPL Rally

Good Job Guys! It's really not that hard to get backpackers to go backpacking. We'll take some beautiful weather this time around. We done our share in the bad weather. If you guys have not had enough of other Bplrs come up to Coe in a couple of weeks.

We had a great time atop Sitton Peak. Views were quite spectacular probably exceeding 50 miles in all directions. John, thanks for the ride and the good company to a from our day out. Michael, thanks for organizing it all and Jerry it was great to see you after many years. Let's do it again soon.

Maybe we can go to the PCT Kick off day in the end of April. That'd be a fun day out and we could get a closer look at many of the cottage industries finest products.

Warren, I am in for the PCT kick off. Thanks

It was my pleasure to organize the hike. No problem at all. Be on the lookout for some more SoCal adventures.

@ Ken: Wish I could make its up to Coe. But definitely want to meet our other BPL brethren in the north. I'll see if I can rally some of my SoCal buddies up there before too long.

Michael

I make it down south on occasion for family there. Just have to get a hike in while I am at it.

Congrats on finding some fellow BPLers in SoCal.

Hopefully you can put together a simple overnighter and post pics up.

Seems to snowball into something much bigger when people can see photos of the fun that you had.

Also, does not help to have someone like Ken T. to put in the huge effort to organize things.

Here is hoping to see more post from our SoCal BPLers!
