Dude!! ;) Let's hope the Sierras aren't on fire by then!!

Those of you who have joined a Pashnit ride before know the fun we're about to have. For those of you who have not yet ridden with the pashnit few (less few these days :D) I can only speak for the good vibe every member exudes. Sort of a Joe cocker, "Feelin All Right"/King Harvest, "Dancing in the Moonlight" cross. Hope you can join us up the hill to beat the heat!

[Jester]

*Bump*

Any one on CVR interested in going on this ride?? (other thay you who have stated so on P*nit of course.....

J

[Jester]

:confused: No Campers eh?? For catered breakfast and dinner and gear transport (from Humphrey's Station), I'da thoutht people would be beating a path..... Now that GP is over, check your Calenders. A friend who skipped SKII to go on the Range of Light Tour regretted it and said we were much more organized. And look, there will be no Saturday moving party this year. ;)

[Chief]

I don't know J, that Clampettmobile was quite the highlight of the day. :D

I cant believe how many thing are ALL on the SAME weekend this year! A lot of things I would love to do, all ended up being on the exact same weekend and I'm already committed on that weekend and cant do any of them :mad:

Starting to think like Doc on Back to the Future: "Unbelievable, it could mean that, that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance. Almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence. " :D

"That's heavy Doc"
"There's that word again, heavy....is there something wrong with the earth's gravitational pull in the future?"
