GGG 2018

David, You’ll definitely be missed!!

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.

Hey everyone, I just found out about this. I’ll try to make it. – Lucky Charms

Have a great time everyone! I’m looking forward to seeing photos and hearing about it.

Marc Eldridge is coming too. It’s like having the whole family together.

See you Josh.

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.

HJ

Crud. Take care of yourself Jim.

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.

Tony

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.

Honored to be recuperating with Hikin’ Jim and bummed to miss it this year. Was so excited! You guys have fun and take lots of pics 😊

Loaded the oak in the wagon. Packing has officially started.

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.

That strategy has worked Kat.

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. It would be great to get a parking pass!

Sun

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.
Rick

That would be sweet….

I will be there Friday around 2 or 3 pm. Staying both nights.

I will be there around 2pm Friday. Meeting Erik and crew at 1 to fill and transfer the water at Safeway on Dunne before heading up.

PM or email me your basic vehicle info you two.

We’ll see you at 1PM tomorrow Ken. Wooohooo! This year is gonna be a good one I reckon :)

We’ll have a 2nd car – can we snag one of those last permits for it?

Ken and Others,

All of you are rad! Sorry we can’t make it this year.

Casey, Emily, PJ and Mei Mei

Heading into Tenaya Canyon in September of 2017.

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!

Always a pleasure to hear from you Jane. Here are some trips from 2017, let me know if you need more information.
