only two months. still unsure who'll be showing up. other than me, makela
and roger(?), doesn't sound like many distance travelers will be in the
area. small crowds seem to be the deal this year...not many traveling to
penns either. i'm gonna miss the regulars out west, especially my good
friend and fellow traveler, ij. but, each year is a new adventure. warren
promises some interesting hikes into new areas, and since he won't be
burdened with the gink boat duties this year, i'm looking forward to
spending more time on the water with him and learning a bit more about the
great mystery.

I was looking forward to seeing IJ, Bruce and Willi, but I am trying to go
anyway. Some hikes sound good to me. I'd like to get a room at the Slide
Inn but last I checked none were available. Preferrably a single. If
anyone cannot go for some reason let me know before you cancel your
reservation. Otherwise I'll look into the cabins farther downstream. I'm
at about 80%.
