the trans Supes hike last november was a great success! everyone attended and completed the 47 mile trek in great spirits.
carrying on the *new* tradition of the great annual Trans Supes hikes, this one is going to shift gears a little and begin in Spring this year. We will be travelling in a large loop starting and ending at Miles trailhead- we're looking at 11-12 miles per day over some fairly rough terrain. Leaving for the hike on Friday morning and returning by Sunday evening. I suggest experienced hikers only sign up. Lets get this ball rolling!

Please take pictures! I'm imagining you skipping down the trail, holding your umbrella, on the cover of next years HAZ calendar! I suppose an umbrella is a good idea, but I can't imagine it being more convenient than a good hat, like the goofy one that I wear.

except for the larger coverage, of arms, and (other, ahem, "limbs".... right Scussel? )

First of all, :yuck:

Second of all, wouldn't you rather just wear long sleeves and have both of your hands free? I guess it's a trade-off. I personally would not like carrying an umbrella, but I could imagine that I'd be a bit cooler if I was wearing short sleeves and shaded by an umbrella. But if it's hot enough to need an umbrella for shade, is it really going to make that much of a difference? Answer that one after you get back from your trip.


Have fun guys!

I have a visual of the umbrella but it ain't pretty.

Hey, uh, I still don't have an address for where we're supposed to meet in less than 12 hours.
Could someone PM this to me?

OOPs. Wait. Found it. Nevermind.

Excellent!! :loh: and.. I would like to see a pic of that umbrella's condition AFTER 3 days in the eastern Supes..
......... Have Fun........

After all the math is done, I can confirm 34.5 miles total hiking distance, after subtracting -my- sidetrip to Rogers Trough Cliff Dwellings (I doubled back from our campsite in Angel Basin).
This -does- include the Circle Stone sidetrip (which I think we all did), which added 1.5 miles.
I'm optimistic that tomorrow I'll be able to wear real shoes again.
Great hike.
