Cat, I think we should plan it now. I know the guy from Starbucks Hiking thinks May is the best time because the days are long and not too hot.
September may even be an option. We need to decide if we do a 2 dayer or do it in one day. I heard a one day hike only allows you about 1/2 hour to explore because you don't want to run out of daylight for the return hike. That sounds like more work than fun.
Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

: Rob,
: I'll be up for the hike to Beveridge by fall! Should we plan for it now?

: : : : Just wanted to thank everyone for the great time had at the rally. It was fun to be able to put faces to names. We have quite a diverse group of people, young and old, male and female!
: : : : Mike and Jody were gracious hosts, and Stanley Paher was as friendly and personable as they come. It was a thrill to meet a legend!
: : : : My only regret was because of last minute issues, I had to drive up from San Diego in the morning, and drive back the same afternoon. I had wanted to stay for another day of exploring.
: : : : Look forward to next years 2 day event!

: : : Hi Rob,
: : : It was nice to meet you and all the other people and to finally be able to match the faces with the "WANTED" posters. Sat. Night Randi and I had the town to ourself's and we stayed in the Belshaw house (very nice).
: : : Too bad nobody stuck around for Sun. to join us on a little hike to Panamint City. We hiked up to the end of the canyon past Panamint City to Thompson Camp (home of the famous "Shotgun Mary") for a total of a 12 mile round trip hike, with 50% of the hike in flowing water including hiking through the waterfalls.
: : : What torure we go through just to see a GT!
: : : Lewis
: : Too bad I missed the hike. I would have definitely done it but had to get back to San Diego that night. What's left in Panamint City?
: : I am still game for planning a hike and/or backpack to Beveridge some time. It sounds like a grueling hike but likely worth it. I know Cat has also expressed an interest.
