GGG 2018

Ha, thanks Greg. So double most likely. We have never run out of room. Was thinking about Erica’s concern on water. I think we are up to 65 gallons driven into camp

I have some included parking permits available. I like to give these to folks who are helping or have driven far to get here. I have reached out to the ones I am aware of. PM if this is you. Thanks.

My plan is to get there Friday by 2pm. The park is expecting us so there should be no issue if you get there early.

Man, if we didn’t have a baby at home I’d fly out and join. I would love to meet the folks from this forum. Maybe another time…

OK, Ken, it’s worked out and I’m now in for my 3rd GGG!

I’m coming into SJC on Friday morning and I’ll be renting a car if anyone needs a ride. I need to be back at the airport on Sunday for a 4:50 flight. The only caveat: I may try to meet a friend for lunch on Sunday in Palo Alto or San Jose, so anyone riding with me would have to leave a little early.

Am I invited?

Nick

You too can be a repeat offender. See you there with Peter and Doug. You’re in fine company.

Need a couple volunteers to help run the contests as David isn’t going to make it.

PM me. Thanks.

Will be great to see you Steven.

Just passed $300 collected so far. That’s awesome this early on and covers the cost of the sites. Thank you.

I can’t wait!

Bummed to be missing this – a trip Red Rocks on the long weekend won out.

Hope to make it next year!

Sorry to miss you Rene.

Over 50 now planning on attending.

Haven’t checked in yet but planning on coming. Will maybe bring husband or friend and pay accordingly when I see you. I am already “missing” next year’s GGG so I hope we can continue this tradition. At my first GGG I inspected two different versions of the Hexamid and put it on my wish list. I’ve enjoyed many trips with that tent. Two men I met at my first GGG made me cat food can alcohol stoves and sent them in the mail. One later sent, at his own expense, his TarpTent Moment for a friend to try. Helpful and friendly people over the years!

I’m planning to bring along my wife Muzzy.  (Aka Muzzleopogus) So that’s another one for the count.

Awesome.

Gearswap live in the parking lot Sunday.

Ken, I have two guests coming along. They are new to backpacking and want to see all the cool lightweight gear we all have.
I know parking is $8 per day. What is the camp fee or suggested donation price?

Was just thinking of you today wondering if you were coming. More the merrier. Let’s say $10.

Great! I paypaled you some dinero.

All we need now is good weather and someone to run some contests. David isn’t coming so we need a substitute. You’ll get free parking. It’ll be fun.

$10 a head will cover expenses.

I have a few parking passes left. Hit me up if you are coming a long ways.

Any word from Jack Elliot or Kevin Smith in Bakersfield?? They used to come regularly, sometimes rode bikes in from parking lot.

Jane, I haven’t heard from Kevin or Jack in years.  Jack did break his ankle on a trip and kinda fell off the map after that.

I’m thinking hard of coming for this from LA! I may or may not come with the wife but I’m excited to meet like-minded folks and checking out cool gear.

Quick question, I know there’s water available. Is there an amount of water you need each attendee to bring for themselves?

LIke Jane, I miss Jack. He was great to talk to and a fun guy to have around.

Would there be interest and time for me to do a half an hour or so of my wildlife show? If so, anyone have a little projector that would work for this?

I would most certainly like that.

Stephen, a couple of liters. Don’t kill yourselves just be aware that water needs to be hauled in. I’ll bring in about 60 gallons.
