I don't want to kill this thread with used parts and food. We still have 6 weeks of tech/trail talk....
I'll bring something to share.....just not sure what. It might be difficult for the folks traveling from far off lands to keep/store food for that long. I think we should nail the food down once we're 2 weeks out from leaving. That way everyone is a little more sure of who/how many will really attend, and can plan accordingly.
Jonathan and I spoke today, rest assured this trip is going to be like no other.........you don't want to miss it!
I do have a suggestion that we somewhat limit the number of vehicles to a responsible number..... Both for logistics and more importantly the environmental impact on the area/trails/campsites. It's important that we leave no trace and limit the footprint. We don't want 50 people with 5 different fires, trucks parked on every inch of space, shower and waste water running everywhere.......I don't want to sound like a tree hugging Coloradan, but its important to keep our wild areas wild. One spark from a campfire can take out an entire ecosystem. Too much food spilled on the ground will attract wildlife (bears) that will associate campers with free food, that leads to encounters where the bear ends up dead, or someone gets hurt. It takes much much longer for flora and ground cover to regenerate at altitude and the growing season is very short.
Pack it in, pack it out. From soup to poop.
