Second Annual Moonlight Skyline Hike

Postby Ellen » Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:51 am

Howdy All :)

The first annual was Skunk's idea -- St. Florian provided us with light sticks which added to the fun 8)

How does the weekend of May 14, 15 sound? The actual full moon is on Tuesday May 17.

Skunk -- don't get vaccianted right before the hike this time.

There will also be a full moon on Monday April 18. It's too short notice to arrange anything for this weekend. Also, I'd like the snow to be melted off the traverse.

Who's on :twisted:

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

Have fun - that's a great idea! I'll be in the Inyos doing a different steep desert hike that weekend. I think Cy and I are going to give Skyline a try on May 7th (that's if Cy can put up with me for the day).

Night of May 14 looks good. I'll get some more light sticks.

Ellen, Florian... are you suggesting Sunday morning May 15th 01:00 at the museum? I'm off that weekend, so if you are, count me in... and yes Ellen I'll stay away from any vaccines. What are the chances that we'll need crampons and ice axes?

Sincerely and with best regards,

Skunk

No problem Kathy. I hope you can put up with me :)
I hope I will be in shape to join the moonlight hike as well.
I also hope the snow will be melted off the traverse.

Howdy Skunk :)

I don't think we'll even need microspikes by Sunday May 15 8)

I made the mistake of getting the combo vaccine last fall (swine flu and whatever else) and felt like poop on a stick for three days. No wonder you couldn't hike, ugh :(

Howdy Cy :)

Woo hoo -- it will be great to see Cy on Cyline again :twisted:

Howdy Kathy :)

I'll try to get out on May 7 to see you and Cy.

Howdy Pain Sister :)

I'll miss seeing you fly by :lol:

Howdy St. Florian :)

Thanks for bringing more glow sticks -- it was fun to see them above and below me on the trail last year.

Miles of smiles,

I won't ask what your baseline of experience is for that comparison. :wink: :lol:
