[CMCEmail] Sierra Lollygag Backpack Sept 1-5...

[CMCEmail@Californiamountaineer.com]

It's hell gettin' old! I've had 8 of 11 original sign-ups for a private trip to 
the Sierra (over Cottonwood Pass to Big Whitney Meadow) cancel on my, most of 
them due to some pretty serious illnesses, either to them or a family member. At 
least, that's what they're telling me.

At any rate, that allows me to open it up to the CMC. This is not a serious 
hiking/climbing deathmarch into the Sierra. Mind you, one of the guys who has 
NOT backed out is 74 years old and is a great guy to be around, but he doesn't 
hike like he used to. Therefore, we're just going to hike in about 7 miles to 
Big Whitney Meadow where we'll set up a base camp for fishing and climbing. 


I want to climb Joe Devel peak, and explore the possibility of going up Corcoran 
& LeConte, but mostly, this is just to get into God's country for a few days. 


The particulars: 
Tuesday 8/31: Drive to the Horse Meadows trailhead and sleep there.
Sept 1: Hike into Big Whitney Meadow and set up base camp
Sept 2-4: Fish, hike, climb, laze around to your heart's content
Sept 5: Hike out and drive home

If interested, please contact me at any of the numbers below. I have 7 spots 
available on my 10-person permit.
