Anyone going Saturday 9/29

I'll see you there Dave. My friend Michael T is also going on Oct 6 with his own group leaving the museum at 1 am. I am thinking of going on that one also.

As for me...... Give me liberty, or give me San Gorgonio!

That sounds about right. From the bottom of the tram road to the museum it's very gradual downhill, almost flat in town. It's usually a tailwind.

Perry,
Where exactly do you lock up your bike? I'm not familar with the tram base layout. Do you leave your helmet locked to the bike?

I just received an e mail from Hikin_Jim that he has been working ridiculous hours on the job including week ends, except for one trip to San Gorgonio last Friday. He thanks us for our concern, and hopes to be back next month.

Yep, I loop the cable through a hole in my helmet. There's a log over by the creek that's out of the way but still on video camera in case anybody messes with my bike. To reach the Bobcat lot you pass Cougar going up, cross the bridge in front of the main tram building, then go downhill past Alligator Lizard lot. The other lower lots are also on video camera, but since they are not visible from the main building it increases the chances that somebody might mess with your bike. (It would be nice if the tram just installed a cheap bike rack or accepted a donated one...)

Hi all. Sorry to cause all the fretting. :( I'm fine, but as Cy mentioned, I've been working like a mad dog. Let's just say I like eating regularly and having a roof over my head if you get my drift about why I was working so hard. My boss even called me asking for status when I was out on my backpack. Sheesh! :x Boss is out of the office this week, so a little less pressure. :D

Thanks for your concern; I appreciate it.

Jim -- You just do som much to keep things lively around here that we have a hard time when the forces of "real life" intercede and take you away. :)
