Pine Canyon Sunday August 15

[DarthStiller]

Going back to take care of unfinished business left undone by my accident and shoulder injury. 16 miles RT. Leaving Mesa at 5:30am.

[Tough_Boots]

I take it this is going from the southern end to the north and back, starting at the Pine TH? I'm beginning to dig this area.

[DarthStiller]

Yes, just like I originally planned the weekend before Memorial Day. Should be nice and warm, and muggy.

[RaRoc]

Looking forward to it!

[Tough_Boots]

Alright! A small army descends upon the Pine TH...

[Groth]

Prediction: Pittsburgh finishes 3rd in the AFC North Division. You heard it here first folks.

[JimmyLyding]

Tim #2, you're underselling the Browns

[DarthStiller]

This is looking great! I'll PM my address and contact info for meeting up Sunday morning. so far the plan is to meet at my house in east Mesa (by University and Higley) and figure out car arrangements from there. If anyone has any other ideas/preferences/needs/etc. for alternate meetup arrangments, speak up here.

[wallyfrack]

Sounds good to me. I can drive if needed.

Did your Reservation Lake trip not work out?

[DarthStiller]

It worked out great. we came back a day early due to rainy weather, having little kids, and having a bunch of chores that still need done on the weekends. got some nice pics to post for the West fork Black River Trail and more to post of the camping on Facebook. Stay tuned.

[RaRoc]

Perfect! I can drive too depending on clearance - my Prius can't handle quite as much as I'd like it to...

[Tough_Boots]

ahhh... the little Prius will have no trouble. The TH is right off the 87.

[JimmyLyding]

I hope that I can make this one as it may be the last hike I get to do with fellow HAZ'ers. The interview today went very very well, and I'm awaiting an offer. BC Forever!!!

[Tough_Boots]

Congrats on the interview! I'm sure you'll find that California has its own special BC.

[JimmyLyding]

I'm actually hoping for no BC. It's better than nothing, however.

[DarthStiller]

@Jim Lyding

You gonna hit the "Commit" button there?

[JimmyLyding]

I'm vacillating. I may be staring work in Cali the next day so that's complicating things. If I don't have to start until the 23rd then I'm in. The rest of y'all should be warned. Probably doing the Pinals this Friday and perhaps the Pinalenos for a car-camping/day-hiking extravaganza the following week if possibble.
