2nd annual tristate solo group hike

OK, just to clear up things, there will be a 2nd annual solo tristate group hike on the ERL, even if I have to do it by myself !

We need a date gentlemen/ladies, and we can add more states if we have to, but it will still be a solo group hike, we have our standards to uphold and no one can take that away!

We don't want to do it too far into the month or it will be hot and buggy. I know it will be my last bpacking trip of the season. We got lucky last year with the weather it was fairly cool. Guess it depends on when school gets out for Red though. I can work it in anytime if I have enough notice.

I'd like another crack at the ERL.

I would also like to give it a try. I might not be able to do it all
esp. if we are still in school. In fact I will be on contract anyway.
I can still join the group for part of the hike.

Right around there would be a good time for me too I think I can't wait to get out again!

Suggesting June 2,3 and 4 which is after Memorial Day weekend. I should be able to attend!

Well I won't be able to make it in the middle of the week. Our last day of school is the 1st but I am on a 11 month contract so I will have to still be coming up to my band room and piddle for some time to come!

I menat 4th,5th and 6th......Friday Saturday and Sunday. Typo?

Well I think I could make it the 5th and 6th... will see when it draws closer to time.

That is good for me right now

June 5th is National Trails Day. It would be great to be in the middle of the ERL.

I sent an email today to try and get this trip posted to the main ABC page. Thanks in advance JED!

Sorry I'm late on this post. Just got back from spring break'in, which finished w/ a backpacking trip w/ my two daughters at Bastrop SP. I was proud of them for trekking out a 10 mile cold and windy day. They may be ready for the ERL soon?

Here's my situation. School is out May 29, I have a staff workday May 30 and a wedding on June 5.

My main problem is that I want to dedicate a 6 day 60 mile Yo-Yo (double back the last day to finish 60) as my main JMT work up. I'm pretty flexible on the 6 days for the Yo-Yo; anytime between June 7 - 25 (wedding on the 26). Like AR mentioned, it'd be best the closer to the first of the month. So, I'm tentatively looking at June 8 - 13 to cover a weekend.

I know most folks don't want to hike too far in to June so I don't expect you guys to try to work around me. If the weekend of June 5 is better for the group then trek on. Surely there's another Texan that'll show up ("pointing at Trailrelic's avatar").
