Sooo...full moon hike...maybe a jaunt up to Tulainyo...looking forward to the next trip to LP while I haven't even finished this one yet. For us weekend warriors who have to travel ... drive down Friday October 18, back October 20 or 21? Costumes optional? Maybe I'll wear my tutu and carry a 50+ pack and go as Rosie. Better yet, maybe I'll dress up the pup and let HER carry the big pack.

This could be a before or after the day hike and pot luck hike say either to town on the NRT or up to Lone Pine Lake ???? Another option is Suicide Col or at least to the base and the few that may want to do the last several hunderd feet that would be a chance to touch the shore of Tuleinyo. Thanks Doug I really like this idea... I've not been on a "moon light hike" in a long time! I'm good with wherever I'll be in SoCal that week and staying with my sister so I'll be able to cook something this time... put me down for a crockpot of hearty baked beans. I think my brother Ken will be coming also. .... and now to decide what to wear for the "costumes optional"?
