Can't wait! Really worried about this cold I caught though...it kicked in full effect yesterday. Last night was rough. But Dayquil and Nyquil is pretty amazing stuff! I actually feel like the congestion is breaking up already, may not be a problem.

Hopefully I can get some quality sleep tonight and still leave early Friday morning. Worse case scenario, I'll sleep in a little and leave around 8AM instead.

Got my gear all laid out. Just deciding on a few things (Capilene 3 vs 4 for sleeping, bring UQP or not, light or heavy down jacket)

Sanity is over rated, but I'll be thinking the same thing while I pack, repack, and try to get over the tendency of tossing things in "just in case". I'm sure between the group, all situations should be within our capabilities. Are you joining us for breakfast?

I'll meet you at the trailhead... Or cabin depending on my timing.

Ditto! That's brutal cold. Just wrapping up my work day then heading home to finish packing. Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

Fajitas are ready. I'm very tempted to try one. Just to make sure they are good.

**michigandave** · 02-26-2015, 17:16

Wow....very impressive. I may gain weight on this one.

**Donk_67** · 02-26-2015, 20:51

Looks like I'll be pulling out early Sunday for a quick turn around and drive to Detroit... Fun.

Alas... I have to work all day today and tomorrow.

Well, I'm beyond mad or upset right now. My pack is in the Jeep and everything was ready to go when my alarm went off at 5:40am. But this cold just wiped me out; deep in my chest and head right now. Being outside would be the last thing I should do. Tough decision since I was really pumped for this one, but I have to stay home.

I'll keep an eye out for a March/April trip. Hope you have a good time!
