High Sierra Topix

I just got the dates cleared with my work, and so I'm planning to be at this year's meetup. Yay!

Sound good, also considering a similar entry route, but a lot depends on the weather and wildflowers.

So, who has not chimed in yet, but is attending or still considering it?

With the late snow this year, I am NOT attending because my other trips have been backed up into those dates. I hope everyone has a great meet-up. Maybe next year.

I'm planning to be there, coming in from Alta.

Hope it doesn't still look like this in that area in July!


Also, those lakes were already on the list I hope to do this Summer so maybe I can finally make one of the meetups!

I can't make the Thursday/Friday, but if anyone is still gonna be in the area that weekend I will be heading that way.

Slow to respond, but it looks like I'll be able to make the meetup again this year.

...Or at least try to, . Hopefully I don't wind up half a mile short again, heh.

I feel compelled to say this. Remember folks, the meetup is a desire, not an end all, be all. There is still a lot of snow out there, so make safe decisions, even if it means you don't make it. We are looking at snowpack on a daily basis and Lisa and I will do what we feel is safe given the conditions. We have several options baked into our plans and all are up in the air depending on what we experience out there.

Yeah, the NE side of Elizabeth Pass does look a bit daunting in Caltopo at present. Looks like a trip to bring the whippet pole or ice axe.

I am not making it I will somewhere around Ionian basin going out for 11 days starting next tuesday. I do want to go to that area someday!
