I'm open to suggestions as to where to meet, but I'm thinking somewhere in Truckee at 9 on Thursday. You Jeeps with your big scarry six cylinder motors frighten me on the hills and I hate to hold you up.

They've asked us to be at the hill at 1:45. It could be a long evening, so I was hoping to get camp pretty well set up before we headed down, but 9:00 may still be too early...

If memory serves, it actually looks like google does a pretty good job getting you there.

Officially working WH5 on Thursday is still optional though, isn't it? Not that I'm against doing it, but I was thinking our work on Thursday would be more like checking in with the ST officials to let them know we're there, scoping out the hill to see where we thought we might best place vehicles, etc - not so much working late into the night.

Good point, I wasn't thinking about it that way! Home in time for dinner! 😀

Teddi and I have been talking about what to pack for food. I've been telling Teddi we should be back at camp each night for dinner. Plans would need to be different if we're out on the trail for dinner.

It looks like I can't be there until Thursday afternoon 🙁
Hang the banner in camp so I know where to drop my stuff.

On WH3 we end up doing a lot of stacking before anyone from Trek even gets to the hill. We know that most people are going to have a hard time with certain certain areas so it is easier to stack it ahead of time. I am not sure how much WH5 will need but you might want to factor that into your Thursday prep time. I am glad we do not do WH1.... lol

We looked at W5 a couple of weeks ago. There's not very much to be done. It's not exactly the hardest of the winch hills lol

You guys will have your work cut out stacking the squeeze 😯

Rob and I were talking tonight. We thought it would be hilarious to go get a $200 Jeep from J&W. When people get close to the winch hill, push the Jeep backwards off the top lol lol lol

Brad and Kathleen are also coming up Thursday Morning.
I think Lee is also a Thursday AM attendee, but only for the day.

I expect we are eating dinner in camp, and eating breakfast and lunch on the trail. I also thought we needed to be set up at camp, and down on the trail by noon - correct?

Kathleen and Brad
