Wednesday July 21st.  Leaving Hoyt at 7 am so it'll still be cool.  Picnic at the top of the mountain.

Yes and I look quite dashing.

I will not be participating in this endeavor.
How ever I wish the participants, a good journey.

Which trail are you going to go up.  How long is it and how difficult?
I need to know to if my knees can handle it.

It is 1hr. steep walk. I had to take few breaks. But enjoyable and I might participate this time

Yes, this cooler is actually quite a bit smaller than my old one
that was viciously taken out by Squirrelist's.

That one was the biggest wheeled cooler I could find.
If you want stationary coolers you can go real big.

Russell and I go really slow, if that helps.

I might try it since you go really slow.  Now I have to wait and see if Alec is working.

Cardigan is such a wonderful hike. Are you taking the west ridge or south ridge trail?
