sickness

ok this year the goal is not to have anyone sick.... so no eating strange foods, hugging sick kids, drinking milk to settle an upset stomach,etc.... we can do this. Also i'll try not to toss anyone from the truck and keep it rubber side down.

Mortey's input

If you guys can give me an ETA, I can be there at any time; BC Ferries has extra runs on Friday. The Upperlevels Hwy. runs right past Horseshoe Bay. Also, I can make room in my kit for beer. I figure between booze and first aid, everyone will have an interest in my well being. Question: has any one thought to call the park to see if reservations are needed? If not, bring alot of batteries for flashlights, cause campfire ban is in effect pretty much everywhere on the coast and in some cases that includes those tire rims they use for firepits in the parks. If anyone can think of anything else they want me to bring or make room for, let me know.

sleeping arangements

Joel Ang and I got together a little while ago and talked about some things.
#1 Tent pads are limited, so it might work well like this... Jon & Rob in Rob's tent, Ang & I in Joel's tent, and Morty, Joel, & Jeremy in Jeremy's 4 man. I want your opinions on this...

#2 Drive down as early as possible on fri... Morty what times can you get in to van?, then we go to squamish pick up something to bbq (joels bringing a bbq for the parking lot) and camp in the parking lot or somewhere close to it (bush camping) for fri night. Drink, talk, eat, etc... then hike up very early on Sat. We'll be rested and in good sprits for the hike.. That gives us plenty of time to setup camp in the daylight and check out the local trails.

#3 Bring cash... we'll need to pay for camping maybe for parking. Plus food on Fri.

#4 Food... Ang and I are buying food for breakfast (oatmeal) and dinner ( rice entres and beef strogonoff hiking packs ((tried some different ones this should be pretty good)) . I could use some ideas to fill out the meals. Snacks/lunch are up to you to bring for yourself as we'll be eating on the trails. Coffee, milk (canned), suger, we don't need to hike up 7 copies so we'll bring some with us. (300g enough?).

#4 Booze who's bringing what....

#5 camera's are one of the ways we can cut down on weight. who's bringing one. one aor two should be enough for lots of pics. I vote Jon as he's got a good camera and seems to know how to take good photos.

The final countdown....

Now its officially less than 1 week away, is anybody getting excited?
I know I am, this is gonna be good! I got my bag packed, and I'm
ready to go. See y'all Thursday night....

Well it's officially less than 1 month away. We need to get some stuff sorted out; food, sleeping arrangements, are we still ok with Joel & Ainsley for driving down? Any other thoughts???
