PCT to tram this Friday

Postby Ellen » Wed Nov 17, 2010 11:30 am

Howdy All,

I know this is short notice, but based on the weather coming in, I suspect tomorrow and Friday will be the last two days this hike is doable this Fall.

I am dedicating the hike to slain Riverside Police Officer Ryan Bonaminio and will carry an American flag bandana from the desert floor to the top of San Jacinto in his honor.

Would love to have company if someone feels a "sick day" coming on :wink: One of the advantages of being self-employed.

If interested, please post or e-mail me.

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

I am very sad to say that I won't be able to swing a sick day on Friday. For anyone who gets to go, have a great hike! I'll be thinking of y'all!

Howdy my dear friend Sally :)

I am so sorry the weather conspired against us this time :cry: I look forward to doing this hike with you and other friends next year.

Miles of smiles and hugs,

Friday PCT to tram

Postby Ellen » Thu Nov 18, 2010 12:18 pm

Howdy All :)

I realize that it's difficult for folks to hike on a weekday. If anyone gets off early tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, would love to see your smiling face if you're interested in hiking from the tram to the summit of San Jacinto 8)

I am anticipating the hike will take between 12 and 14 hours. I will leave around 3 AM so I am not chasing the daylight coming down from the summit. My SPOT page should have my departure time.

I will be carrying an American flag bandana to honor slain Riverside Officer and Iraq veteran Ryan Bonaminio. I am also dedicating this hike to those who serve and protect us -- military, police, fire fighters. and SAR.

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

That tracking function is pretty cool.

They should put that on the guy that delivers pizza to my place. :lol:
