@TooOld2Hike_EP I have been buying Darn Tough socks for many years, and QC is definitely not what it used to be. When I first starting buying, a pair could last 5-7 years for my usage.

The best used vehicle is the one that was well maintained and that you can afford. Those two points alone will limit the choice for you.

I saw rain in the forecast for next week so I washed the car today

@CannondaleKid All I want to do this year is avoid the Covid vaccine

@wallyfrack Any mud

At least for East Mesa, the chance for rain on Sunday/Monday has been removed.

I prefer the blank stares.

As the organizer of the event I say do whatever you feel comfortable with and then let grown adults make their own decision on if they feel comfortable attending. If you don’t feel comfortable or for some reason feel responsible for others then you probably shouldn’t have it. My .02 cents.

@SJFL I’d be really surprised if it were dry. It may be low but not dry. It’s a short hike to take a look and provide a report.

On June 30th LaBarge Spring had water as reported on the site.
