Sorry, CFM. I tried to be as fair as I could be. I really wish I just would have applied for the max permits.

I hope you can get in on a lottery.

I want to see you wear a tutu up that mountain.

Oh god NO! NO! Get that image out of my head!!!

August 23, 2004

CFM, now that is the attitude. I am planning on trying to get down early to get my name in the lottery to help somebody else out if I can. The grass skirt it is then. Peace, Nolenator

Shoot and I'm all out of Moun10Bike coins.

I guess that grass shirt would take care of the chaffing problem.

The other hikers are going to love us.

Hee hee! What to bring for party favors? I still have at least eight leighs in the box from my birthday party. Hmmm.... Peace, Nolenator

August 29, 2004

I know I'm very late in this, but I'm gonna do my best to get a lotto permit for that climb. Safety in numbers. Hopefully, intelligence in numbers, too. And good looks.

August 29, 2004

I was able to get Sept. 10th off so I will try and get a lottery spot as well. CFM you are first on the list. The web page states that the lottery position is for four permits. Peace, Nolenator

August 29, 2004

Thank you Nolenator, Tolmaus, Bullmoose and friends!

September 3, 2004

After going up and finding Bandera Mountain yesterday through the rain, wind and hail with Runhills I think I am ready for this one. Who is in and who is out? I am going down early on Friday to find a couple then head to Jack's to get in the lottery to help others out. The web site states the lottery drawing is for a permit for four people. If somebody wants to carpool that would be cool, but I will be sleeping solo in the back at the hikers bivouac. Peace, Nolenator

Well, if Miami's airport is destroyed by Frances I think my brother will be out...

Developing...

Anyone heard from Criminal lately? He was the only one who wasn't 100%.

You might want to send him e-mail and see.

I just heard from him. He's at work. :rolleyes:

He's a government employee, so he hardly works most days, I'm not sure why he went in today.

Sounds like the brunt is going to be north of Miami anyway.

Just heard from Criminal. He's out.

So... let's get a recount of who would be interested in that permit.

Bummer about Criminal, I really wanted to finally meet him. My vote is for CFM, she's got moxie. Peace, Nolenator

I'll be at the drawing the night before at Jack's, because I'll need three (my dad, my brother, and myself). Keep me out of the drawing for Criminal's permit.

September 4, 2004

Hey trav! I was planning on getting into the lottery to help others out. It is people like you I am trying to help. See you at Jack's a little before 1730. If there are others who want permits, speak up now! Peace, Nolenator

1.1k · September 4, 2004

Hey Nolenator. I'm still mullin it over. I don't know if I want to go down the night before or ask if you could hold a permit for me. How long a drive is it?

September 4, 2004

ES's log states it take about 4 1/2 hours from Mill Creek. I was planning on leaving early and hitting most of the caches down in that area, GC8 for sure. Peace, Nolenator

I'm late checking in, but I'd certainly be interested. However, don't give me any kind of preferential treatment.

Who are you? :lol:

Anyone else suspicious? Criminal bows out and all of a sudden Jeremy is interested. (Where is Clark? He just missed Superman!)

Anyway, I will draw straws as soon as I can get motivated to find some straws. Probably Sunday night.

I am 100%. Got Friday and Saturday off work. Unsure about wife and friend, but I am at least one that will walk up that hill. If we don't need to be there Friday, it'll improve the chances of me not coming alone, but I can go either way.

I will be sleeping solo in the back at the hikers bivouac.

can you tell me about this hiker's bivouac? It's probably more comfy than my backseat...

3.5k · September 6, 2004

gravel parking. Two nice outhouses. Bare spots around the area to pitch a tent. Trailhead. That's about it. No water.

There is also a spot to camp about 2 miles up at timberline at the base of the mountain proper if you want to lug a tent that far. 1 outhouse there. No water.

Would that be at the junction with the Loowit trail?

Are reservations required for either of the two camp sites?

3.5k · September 6, 2004

It is just beyond the junction. No reservations needed at the first site, (nor the second as far as I know).

Until a couple of weeks ago, I forgot what rain looked like.

Anyway, that forecast is for four days from now. Might as well be for four years from now.

I've had it raining on the way down before and then climbed into sun. I think it did that with me and Jon last year.

I guess it is called "Above the Clouds."

Anyway, rain never hurt anyone - unless you're the Wicked Witch of the West or Grand Forks, ND.

So my plan for Friday is:

Get to Jack's at around 5 to pick up our reserved permits. From there go down to Climber's Bivouac to set up camp.

Anyone getting a permit from me can meet me at the camp and secure it . (Red Xterra, look at the pic in my profile.)

If anyone is meeting down there in the morning, we'll have to make another arrangement for permits (shouldn't be tough, we are geocachers.)

Permits are $15, which I'll take cash or check since I have to buy them all at once.

Cell phones DO NOT work at the camp. I'll be on FRS 2.

Howdy folks, I had to go out to Long Beach for the long weekend to fulfill the whole sea level to summit experience. Again, I am leaving early on Friday morning (0900). Lot's of cool caches down in that area. I drive a Subaru Outback, so four with gear would fit easily. I might stay until Sunday morning if I feel too tired to drive. Of course do some more caching on the way back home.

Peace, Nolenator
