I probably will not know until end of the week which direction to head. Hope to see some of you this weekend.

By the way, I thought we were going to start calling these "camping trips". So, is everyone still "damning the torpedoes" and headed up? I've got Wednesday through Friday available, but could defer until Friday/Saturday if the pattern looks to improve. I'm sure itching for a camping trip. I believe I'll go regardless. I see that Steve is headed west instead. Any thoughts? _____ From: sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sac-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Harshaw Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 4:59 PM To: sac-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; SAC Announcements Subject: [sac-forum] 5MM Next Week Hi, all. I'm planning on driving up to Five Mile Meadow around 1:00 pm Wednesday afternoon and spending two nights. (I have to return Friday morning for family commitments.) Two north valley observers are planning on convoying up with me. Anyone else planning on going up Wednesday? If so, please get with me off-forum so we can coordinate travels.
