Hi Jim (and the others who can make it),

Derek is correct, we'll have our HAM tuned to 146.460 and APRS on. Cell is 650-267-9430 but there's little to no reception at the lake.

It looks like we'll have ~11 rigs, so camping on the bluff sounds good. If it's not too windy the section near edge of the bluff that overlooks the lake is a good spot.

We expect to be arriving tomorrow somewhere around 6pm. We drive a grey 5th gen 4Runner with an RTT.

I'm open to suggestions for a day trip on Saturday. It's not too far to Hwy 395, so one option would be to explore the area north of Bodie. If anybody has a route to share that'd be great! The lake is also a very nice place to just relax, go for a hike around the lake, hike up to Ski lake or to the rim where the trail meets the PCT.

@ProtonDecay @Roger 2486 @emonomics sorry you guys can't make it. Next time!

Gwendolyn.
