Last Minute Notes
Ok. So we're one week away. And there are some logistics that still need tackled...
On a very positive note the weather for dolly sods 22-24 looks pretty good. 60 hi, 36 lo, and SUNNY! no rain. no snow. a bit cold at night but if we all get into one sleeping bag we ought to be fine.
Now. The food thing. I think, to minimize coordinating, and if it's ok with everyone, i'll just get fri night meal stuff, and sat night meal stuff, and sun lunch stuff all at the same time and probably from sam's thursday (since i'm off thurs afternoon/eve). are folks ok with pitching in some $ for it later??
(Al, no prob about separating the meat stuffs. Anyone other than Al and Jes have dietary restrictions? Last call...)
The gear thing. how's everyone doing with gathering what they need?? need help? just call me (i love gear gabbing). If you have just bought your first pair of hiking boots, go break them in this week. wear the to work, to the mail box, while making dinner.. anything! the last thing you want to do is break in boots day one of backpacking. OUCH!
We've had a couple additions and drop outs of the group. It sounds like Annie is no longer going to be with us (boo!). But Clara Cornelius will be joining us (yay!), and possibly a couple other folks? (Donna, is your whole foods friend coming? and there was someone else's friend... Jes's friend???)
I really need a solid number by this week cause i'm buying food. so please tell me now yay or nay.
OH, and we'll be doing this LNT style (Leave No Trace). This means burying poo and packing out the paper (see the poo post below for details), no fire on saturday night (that's what the camp stoves are for), no trash out and about, scuffing up our campsite...
i feel the collective groan about the no fire situation on saturday especially if it's cold, but i feel very strongly about this. And we will have a fire friday night to cook all those s'mores on (thanks julie!).
Also, anyone planning on bringing dogs? hamsters? bird of prey? bunny rabbits? (not as food but as companions).
Anyone have anything else to add?

The Google Doc Spreadsheet - VERY IMPORTANT!
Muy Importante!
Alexa started a google doc (good thinking Lex!!!!) for organizing gear for lending. I (being the over-planning excel-obsessed person i am) have expanded it to include several worksheets for your use. The link to it is over to the left on the top of the page. It's invite only so you should have gotten an e-mail about it.
Once the doc is open look at the bottom of the page, you'll see the tabs for the various spreadsheets. If you need help e-mail me or Lex or leave a comment here and i'll try to help ya!
1) Personal Packing List - this is what you need to bring
2) Group Gear Sign-up - Here's what we need for the groups and who has it (or not)
3) Gear to Borrow - if you need something and don't want to buy it check here and see if anyone has some to lend!
4) Contact List - this has contact info for those coming. this is an invite only doc so your info won't be out for random skeevy folks to stalk you.
5) Group sign up - we have to go in two groups because of the size of our group. So i've got two lists in there and you can sign up for which ever you like. We're all going to do the same route just one group will do it backwards (not walking backwards but opposite of the way the other group is going... oh you get the idea). Please don't neglect to sign up. i don't know who you absolutely want to be with - aside from my charming self of course... ; D - so you need to figure this out amongst yourselves. I've asked my mother to "lead" the other group as she is fairly experienced and a motivator... but "lead" doesn't mean much really, we're women and i think we're all communists (or do i mean socialists??) at heart!
