Unfortunately I will not be able to make it this year. A number of family committments are popping up that day.

I’ll be there “in spirit” and will anxiously await the reports of the ideas from the meeting.

No midnight hikes for me…

But I am looking for a good 4k on Sunday.

Much to my chagrin, I now have a family commitment for the morning of the 25th. Therefore I will not make it up until about 3 or 4 on Saturday.

So, I’ll be looking for a decent Sunday hike.

Garfield sounds like a great pick. I need to start building up for it… I’m out of breath walking up the hill to my car right now. 😀

in reply to: Highland Center update??? #50660

To keep things neat, let’s use a different thread to discuss date/time of the event, and focus on this one possibility in this thread.

Here is another update from Eric:

I spoke with our chef and came up with some other options (I’m with you
on the pizza and beer thing, personally):

-$8/person for the “pizza bar” idea you came up with (we’d just set up a
cash bar for you)

-$12/person for the pizza bar with salad

-$15/person for pizza, salad, dessert, and beverages (soda, coffee,
juice, water would be included)

I mentioned in my reply about the time aspect. The pizza bar idea is:

The pizza idea _might_ be a good possibility. I’m envisioning a pizza bar with a few different types (plain, veggie, meat, works). Can never go wrong with pizza and beer, right?

I’ve already decided that I’m going to take Monday off and stay in the whites an extra night, perhaps with the family.

My preference would be to keep the festivites on the same day, hike then party. Did thie event/drive home come up on the Sunday vs. Saturday discussion? I don’t remember.

in reply to: Planning Meeting Question (Newbee) #50737

Planning meeting is informal, held around a campfire, and anyone is invited, it’s wide open.

The fairest way to handle registrations has always been thought to be first come, first served. If that were to change, it would be finalized at the planning meeting. We have not traditionally given a priority to seniority. Last year I did let slip (intentionally) the secret that the sign-up form was already available, and a few people from the meeting were able to sign up early. Based on feedback we’ve recieved, we will probably not repeat that.

The signup kickoff date is not etched in stone either.

Hope this helps! We’re honored by the troops that have participated in the past, and we’re glad to have you involved!
