I was just thinking that too, Steve. What do you think Doreen, a party for number 300?

Hi Steve and Cynthia,
I have been thinking about what to do when I hit #300. I thought I would love to have all of you meet up with me at Kaufman's Craig and all go up together for #300. I can't think of anything better than to be with all of you for that special day. Of course, I will have to start hours before any of you!!!(lol) I don't think its going to happen till the fall. After this last weekend and the heat, I am ready for San G or Idlywild.
Will keep you all posted.
Happy Trails and love to all
Doreen

Yeah, what Steve said. It would be a ton of fun to do it the way you described. Maybe even bring a few refreshments for when we pop out at the top!

For those who are obviously ill-equipped or not physically prepared for the challenge, ask them to fill out a brief list of the Next-of-Kin to be notified. It would be hilarious! Even give them a time that we'll be making the call. "Let's see, the last 10 parties that started with your level of preparation were deceased shortly after one o'clock. Is it alright if we contact your family at about 1:30 so that they can begin to make arrangements?" Imagine the looks on their faces!

I love it! :lol:

The good thing is I do plan on doing Skyline, but not until Octoberish. In reading all the stories I do plan on being prepared as well as fit for the climb. This is one of those I think I can does not mean I am ready for it. I would hate for you all to read about me in the papers!
