"After many long promises and missed dates. Its offical. Roux is back. I should pull into town Wed. I done have any planned welcome home hike yet, but it will arrive. So Te-wa, Nonot, wally, and everyone else, get ready. being that it is a welcome home hike I imagine somewhat short to make it a backpacking party.

See everyone soon"

-=rOUx=-

date has been changed to the 21st/22nd

my brother... you have to give more notice-- not less!

That still works for me.

Are you planning on going up Friday night? If so, might plan a hike up in the area for Friday, so I can at least say hey, but I have to work Sat/Sun.

21/22 just may work for me!

i made a mistake on ma calenderzz..

i have SSTA training next saturday, then i was supposed to take the 1st aid/cpr class on the 21st, but i can do it online and save a full saturday!
the 28th is reserved for another 60 hr week at work. so, as long as the overlords at intel approve of my online cpr class - im down to hike on the 21st.
make sense?

I think I'd be game if that's alright, and how early Saturday were you thinking? I have some stuff going on in the morning, but I could just just come whenever and meet you all at the end.

Is Ryan gonna show for this one? I remember one previous back in town hike.... :whistle:

leave the PHX around 8, get there @ 10, hike 4 miles. we have to, by law, camp upstream from the spring - so 4 miles or more.
dogs welcome, road in is dirt, about 9 miles - navigation by car ok.

I'm in for the 21-22nd. Looking to carpool, either as driver or passenger.

We should meet at Denny's parking lot is located on I-17 and Bell road, SouthWest corner. Show up around 8 am, I can drive a few passengers.
This Denny's is safe for overnight parking and you won't be towed.
Look for my red Montero w/ "HAZ" stickers.

I'm in for Sat/Sat night, but may leave early Sunday to meet people near Pine.

Hey Mike, I am going to drag my 10yr old nephew out too. It will be his very first backpack. feces, Marc hasn't taken him camping. I had to intervein. Looking forward to it! Parson's is my happy place.

Wish we could make it - we'll be down in the Chiricahuas.

8am!!?? It's a 4 mile hike! What do you have planned for the 8 hours of daylight once we get down there on Saturday? I don't think it will be warm enough for swimming, and 8 hours worth of craft beer is sorta heavy.

1. gotta work off those calories somehow!
2. high-octane IPA's.. need I say more? *could* even be worth it to bring a bottle of Great Divide 18th Anniversary.... mmmm, I'll return when I'm done fantasizing...

I'll bring powdered crystal light and everclear.

hey now, that's not beer... sometimes ya gotta go with quality over weight.. geeez

But the bacon already weighs 2lbs!

hey this has shaped up to be a great group!
i can drive 3 others, 4 packed.

remember, a luxury easy hike. swimming may be possible.. so bring the coffee press, the hammock, the lawn chair and some gourmet food.
as mentioned, dogs are welcome.
