5 day expedition, May or June 2009
Calico John and I have started talking about a 5 day expedition-type run, either in late May or early June. Start in Lone Pine and head up into the Inyo Mtns, exploring mines and trails on the way to Cerro Gordo. The rest of the adventure is TBD, but will end up in South Park in the Panamints.
I don't want to be any more specific on the details, because the run is going to be limited to members-only. Just want to get the ball rolling for club members to start thinking about dates that would work for you, Wed thru Sun. We can talk about this more at the next luncheon, as well as the club meeting.

I’m busy the first three weeks of April due to work (traveling to Japan and Canada.) Then I’m putting together the SOA. Parts are being ordered as we speak. I can only do weekend only trips due to limited vacation and sick days. So I will regretfully have to back out of this trip. That being said, I am considering going to Sequoia National Park this weekend and I will be at Pismo dunes camping overnight on Sat April 11th before I go to Canada. All are welcome on my weekend adventures and the Sequoia trip will be mostly a camping / hiking trip with very little or no offroading depending on what opportunities there are in the Sequoia area.
Cool Coy Pond picture John. Wish I could go on such a cool trip.
