    Hi,

    I hiked with you all a few times last year. I was interested in maybe joining for a few this year. I was thinking about Thursday but I am confused as to where you are going and what time. Defying Deet was last year right?

    Thanks!

    @Keely ~ email on the way to you with details.

    I also don’t seem to be able to find the location of future hikes. Is this by design?

  4. Jo says on August 5th, 2010 at 1:17 pm :

    Unfortunately it is, we had some car break in issues last season and the Sheriff’s Dept suggested removing our upcoming destinations from the public sphere. I can certainly add you to the email list for this season if you are interested. We send out each week’s destination around Tuesday afternoon for the following Thursday.

    Hi Jo,

    I am looking at mid-day model runs and there may be T-storms.

  6. Jo says on August 5th, 2010 at 1:56 pm :

    Yup, NOAA is showing the same T-Storms at a 30% chance so we’re leaving the dogs at home so we can move fast off the ridge if need be.
