Mt. Diablo day hike for all Bay Area BPL Members and Beyond

[Jay Wilkerson]

Sunday, May 20TH and a 6:00 AM start time. Get in shape for the upcoming backpacking season! Beer and pizza at my house after the out and back hike to Mt Diablo. My home is 11 1/2 miles to the summit of Mt. Diablo (23 Miles Total). We had an excellent hike back in 2009 and if you have time on your calender, please come and join in on the opportunity to walk with friends and get in great shape. No permit needed just show up at 5:30am and start walking by 6:00am. Afterwards look foward to consuming pizza and home-brewed beer from Jeremy Pendry and Cameron Kennedy. Any questions please ask. Hope all you Bay Area friends can make it.

Jay,

Count me in!

Here is a link to the hike from 2009 to show you what to expect.

Temperatures should be lower than last year and a good reason to start early.

BPLer's GGG: San Francisco Bay Area, CA.; Mt. Diablo

Jay,

Did you realize this is on Mother's Day?

[Jeremy Pendrey]

Good point casey. I asked him to change it because i cant do saturday, but i'm betting i can't do mother's day either. You guys are welcome to proceed without me on saturday or pick a different sunday. May 6 or april 29 are both open for me.

[Aaron Sorensen]

This hike is going back to the very first BPL hike.

[Jay Wilkerson]

How about May 20TH? I think we all need to respect Mothers Day!

[Jeremy Pendrey]

Works for me.

[Mark Verber]

Hi, I will try to organize a car from Berkeley, since there is no early BART on Sundays. Also, can you edit the title to include the date?

[Jacob D]

May 20 is good for me as well, still planning to be there.

[Chris S]

I won't be able to make it after all. I'll be out of town on the new date. More pizza and beer for everyone else!
