I'm going up to the top of Arizona again. I'm driving, and I have room for 4 (3 if my ladyfriend goes) other people in a 4-door sedan. Wallyfarak has already expressed interest.
We can meet either @ my mom's house near 32nd Street/Shea in north Phoenix or the Cracker Barrel @ I-17/Deer Valley so I can get my greasy breakfast fix. Wally & my brother would be coming from the East Valley.

What time are you planning on starting the hike at the Snow Bowl?

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for 9:00-10:00

I'm ready.

Bearing Down on a clear Sunday on the Peaks because I'm going to hump my tripod up there.

A few of us are hiking the Weatherford/I.B./Pipe Line loop on Saturday and camping on FR 146 (just east of Schultz Pass) Fri. & Sat. nights - If anyone doing this hike wants to camp Saturday night in preparation for this hike, you are most welcome to camp with us.

just out of curiosity, what path are you planning on taking?

Summit route from Snowbowl

I may meet you guys up there. I may go up Sat. Jim I'll Pm you Fri or Sat.

checking weather... expect thunderstorms around that weekend... that should add some excitement to the hike

at least i can try out my new rain coat and lighting rod

Looks like my ride is full. My brother is also going so that's 4 of us. Of course if the rest of y'all don't mind squeezing 3 folks into the back seat then we can add another.
We should probably meet @ my casa which is around 18th Avenue / Thomas (right off of I-17). 6 a.m. too early?

ok, so who is in your ride and who needs to drive?

You're in. Me, my brother Brian, Wally, and you have rides in my (I actually wish it were mine) car. We could probably squeeze another person in the back (Denny?) if everyone's cool. It's a Lexus GS 400, which is the same size as a Camry. Looks like Bob will meet us there if he goes. My brother has a few people from his MBA program cohort who may join us, but we're not waiting around for them, and they'll need to get themselves there. That may open up some more seats, but we won't know until after tomorrow night.

I'll probably hit the trail at around 7. So, I'll probably see you guys at some point. Denny may come up with me.

Would like to join you, but gotta hop on a plane Sunday...

I can drive too if we have too many takers.

ok... now i'm confused. the NOAA is now calling for snow up Humphreys... it is June right?

so I guess we get a choice:

a. lighting
b. snow

A Norweigan friend of mine told me that there is no such thing as bad weather....just bad clothing.

I wouldn't worry about this weekend. I'm going on Saturday, and to make sure conditions are better I am planning on starting earlier. Odds are, with a 10% chance being given, you'll be fine.

i figured so... i just like the forecast for snow in June. reminds me of when it snowed for my graduation in 2002 up at buffalo. dropped 3 inches in June.
