Group trip to Halfmile
There are a few people interested in doing my Halfmile (GCH21C) by brdad (3/3.5) cache but do not necessarily want to do it alone especially with the last logs being DNF. So I would like to find out what people's schedules are so the most people that want to go can. Many are also interested in doing my A mile from a halfmile (GC8D2A) by brdad (1.5/2.5) at the same time.
This will take a good chunk of the day. Halfmile is typically 3 hours round trip not counting lunch or lounging about enjoying the day. A mile from a halfmile will take less time, an hour or a bit more - if we can drive all the way to the parking area. Otherwise it will be an extra mile each way on relatively easy but brushy terrain. There is a beaver dam to cross. I've always had good luck with waterproof sneakers and a tree branch. If you have a hiking stick, you will be glad you brought it.
Any vehicle with decent ground clearance can make it to the parking of Halfmile. The road into A mile from a halfmile is lately full of brush and alders that have to be driven over. So far I have had no problem getting to either parking area with my stock Dakota. I'm hoping I can verify the road conditions before we go.
A few people can ride in the back of my truck for the tougher part of the trek. Perhaps someone else will have a capable vehicle and can take a few more depending on how many want to go.
Bring water and more water and a snack or lunch!
So right now I'd like to see who would like to go and what days work for them. I imagine most will have to have a weekend and that is ok. But I can't do this weekend (Apr 24th -25th) and cannot do May 1st and 2nd due to the anniversary events. Brad's CITO event is may 15th so we should not do it that day.
So who's up for it?
