Teddy I'm going up Friday. So looks like you and I can follow each other up. I go up through sunset into roman and then up 215 to the parkway. I'm bringing the 80 and my golden retriever. Kids are staying home this time. I need a break after the two weeks of hell I've had.

Sounds good. Just let me me where and what time you want to meet.
 
They key to warm feet is socks more than boots. Bring twice as many socks as you normally wear. It's the moisture trapped in your socks that saps away the heat. The higher the wool content, the better. Wool is the only fiber that will still insulate if it gets wet. Thick cotton, polyester or nylon won't keep you warm as soon as they get damp. Change your socks right before you go to bed (also warm them up in front of your heater) and your feet will stay warmer throughout the night.
 
Lets do another head count.

Been a stressful week. Going to consider my alcohol options as well. Will be up sometime after lunch.
 
Is it the Sam's Knob or Ivestor Gap trail to get to the camping area? I've ridden Ivestor Gap on my mtn bike and remember it being a double track.
 
Thanks, that's what I thought. I'll be there Saturday morning early, because some wise arse scheduled a design review from 3 to 5 on tomorrow.
 
Hopefully the hikers don't mind my annoyingly loud exhaust and squeaky suspension:grinpimp:. Golden Mountain did a number.
