Sorry haven’t posted this earlier.

I am in the process now of getting the final order together for T-shirts. I have all the email addresses from those folks who wanted one but their size wasn’t available.

A general email will be sent on Sunday Night to those folks and any others who send me their email address between now and then (please PM). This email will have instructions, but basically it is a request for mailing address. I will then send the T-shirt with a SASE for the $10.00 (check or cash).

I leave for my Canyonlands/Arches/Bryce trip on Oct 4 and return Oct 24. Hopefully the shirts will be done before the time I leave, if not please be patient.

Also, I’m going to see if my T-shirt guy will just “sponsor/donate” the shirts next year.

Peace. :flag:

Sorry that was me above.

Someday I am really going to learn about computers besides just turning them on and off. 🙁

This is killing my number of posts! I’ll never get to full mast! 😉

Looks like this may be the official “good luck” thread…so……

Good Luck and Godspeed to all. :flag:

And as Sgt. Esterhous use to say on Hill Street.

“Let’s be careful out there.”

Ken–

Good points. My reasoning for the lottery is to make it more about the event than the actual peak. Also…the lottery would be somehow broken up, easy, moderate, hard..etc. I am not explaining myself well…perhaps it will sound better at the Mooseland. :beer:

I think I am thinking along the lines of Stephen. “Lock” when there is 10 people signed up for a peak…keep people posted on how many “slots” are left for each peak.

Part of me is just thinking basic LNT. Another part is saying hey man if 20 of us meet at the trailhead and space ourselves out…”That would rock.”

Whatever is decided…it only makes us stronger.

Peace

Frodo raises some valid points.

I like more structure with the ability to be flexible. Boy is that gray or what. 😉

I would be curious to know if the ones that felt snubbed have sought out the crews that have signed up for the peak already and asked if they could help/participate? Have they responded to the “on call” thread?

Just being honest here. Part of me would be upset if I hike a peak with the understanding that my crew’s responsibility is to raise the flag there only to find a flag already flying from another crew. This would probably last all of 12.5 seconds till I meet and greet that crew. I would be further upset, if say a few other peaks weren’t covered that day and perhaps my being or that crew being on-call could have helped remedied that.

Perhaps a peak is not taken till a total of ten sign-up for it? This would allow multiple crews and individuals to sign-up for them. Perhaps somehow forwarding email addresses automatically so those folks can do some planning (flagpoles/meeting times/car pools).

I strongly believe there is room for all. How we all get there is what healthy discussions are for. Boy…. conversations at the bar are going to be great. Don’t forget…I like Guinness! :beer:

How about, “it sucked good?” 😉

I think, b/c of the interest a “lottery” type system makes some sense. Whereas people/crews sign-up for the event itself…not specifically the peak. I understand one’s desire to do a certain peak…however, if the demand/interest grows, avenues of including all need to be explored.

This IMO would add to the build-up of the event. “Wow..i got such and such this year” and so on…

It would keep people involved with the boards more. June/July sign ups?? July annoucements??..etc…??

Leave it up to individual people/crews to make plans if they get assigned the same peak. Gets people more involved and closer as a community IMHO.

Having said all that…I think this year continues to be a success. I would be interested to know the number of people who have expressed frustration.

I would suggest as well a debrief meeting in October, much like the planning meeting. This way memories are fresh, momentum still there and an excuse to get together again.

Sorry so long…I love logistics. 😆
