A nice size crowd for this year. Can hardly believe it is finally this week. Lots of new attendees. Look for the cottage gear to spot your brethren on the trail.

Any questions? Don’t wait till Friday to ask one.

You guys please keep me in your prayers. I got a bad case of the flu starting on Monday. I left work early and went straight home and to bed, but two days later, I’m only feeling worse.

I’m still hoping to come, but, ugh, I can’t go like this. I need to get better.

Jim,

Sorry that we won’t see you there….you definitely will be missed with your “pile” of stoves on the table as you hold “court” passing along all of your wisdom.

Get better….sucks to be miserably sick like that.

Sorry to hear that, Jim! A colleague of mine got Tamiflu for his, said it really knocked it out; you might try getting some from your doc.

Jim so sorry to hear you’re feeling so bad. The flu usually hits worse 2-3 days after you first feel it. Rest up and feel better soon. Will send some flu buster tips I hope will help.

Ken T. I sent e-mails to Kevin and Jack, Jack’s was returned. Then sent a snail mail letter to Kevin at an address that was good some years ago but no answer after 10 days or so. I tried. Would have enjoyed catching up with them at the GGG X.

Making a pile here at home and it’s getting bigger and bigger. I am tempted to only bring a few snacks and teas and eat everyone else’s food :)

take care Jim.

Jim,

Don’t hesitate to seek medical help. There are to many stories of kids and old guys not making it through the night.

Take Care.

I have some parking passes available. If you are coming for both Friday and Saturday hit me up. 5 available. Saves you $16.

Hi Ken,
I’ll be there both nights. If you still have parking passes I’m interested. I was wondering around what time you will be arriving on Friday.

Casey, Emily and family, sorry you can’t make it this year. I have really enjoyed reading about your family trips. Did you do a report on 2017’s trips?? I have used your trip itineraries for trips with my own grandchildren AND for trips with my older backpacking friends. The trip a couple of years ago in Desolation Wilderness was inspiring. Mei Mei and PJ are such good hikers!
