Are there any other writers among us? I would love to collaborate with some fellow storytellers on a book about our hiking adventures. We could write a book called "The Storytelling Caboose." I'll be bringing my hiking journal for sure!
This is going to be tons of fun! I can't wait!

As a last resort for those that want an adventure pass. As you are about to make that left turn before you would head into Icehouse canyon, there is a lady on the right hand side of the road that sells honey and adventure passes. Pretty sure she lives there year round. From what I remember its right off the road just before the parking lot. Real nice lady and the honey is pretty good too... Posted in the San Gabriel Forums, the honey is no longer available, plus getting a pass sometime around 0530 might be tough. Best to pick one up at REI (there's one in Rancho Cucamonga and one in Arcadia) the day/night before. http://sangabrielmnts.myfreeforum.org/about4864.htmlAs a side note just to confirm - Adventure Pass is required to park along the road at Manker Flat.

BTW... did you pick up on the hint regarding you maybe making/bringing some of those famous cookies of yours? (I think it was from James early on in this thread?) Yep...Bringing Oatmeal cookies and either Chocolate Chip or Peanutbutter... If you see this guy on Saturday mornings before he goes hiking he parks cars for a hug from ladies and a waveoff to the guys..

Joyce And to all others who plan to be part of the Caboose Crew... When I called 1st dibs on the 'sweep position', last week, I had no idea there might be a book. Here's another idea for the title: "Mountain Tales from the Caboose". Or (and just kidding)... "The Little Caboose that Could". Fun times ahead!

I am surprised she has'nt been arrested yet, I can see the sign, No money, no honey and adventure pases.

Mark, how about oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with chopped pecans? Those are great trail nibbles. MC, I love both of those titles, especially "The Little Caboose that Could."

I was up today and the windbreaks/rock walls are up. I needed one, too. The morning started warm with no wind but as the day went on it got gray, cool, and windy.

....Just getting to see all of you again will be the best Christmas present a girl could ask for! Oh, Stacy, this is so true!! Every time I read another name of someone who's joining us on this hike it just makes me feel all the more excited and happy! I think this is going to be such a special group hike! Thanks for the suggestion of putting work gloves in your pack... I'll be doing the same. (LOL! guess what color mine are?  ) Mark - I'm really looking forward to finally getting to try some of those world-famous cookies you make!! I agree with lilbitmo - chocolate chip!!! ....Oh, and great pic BTW! (TrailBud)Doug - Fun! Fun! Fun! No doubt...the caboose is where it's happening! Shin - Thanks for making the arangements with Pavel to open the ski hut for us. Most important, I wanted to tell you that I am so very grateful that I am included in sharing this 300th climb with you!! Rosie
