06/20 - 06/21 Suiattle, the return - BRING YOUR EGO Anything and everything .83 Seattle

[key lime]

Derrick I'd love to take your empty seat.
Who still gots room? Who isn't accounted for?

Since when do washouts and downed trees stop feet + hands?
By now everything is either melted or very packed snow, quickly melting. All these things can stop a snowmobile/4wheeler, but not anyone willing to bushwhack a tiny bit when needed.
Edit: Derrick and I sez the same thing at the same time

I just talked with the C-line and yes she wants to come. She's still not posting on the forum - something about already finding the internet a big enough distraction/timesuck, and who can argue with that?
Right now she thinks she can get a rack from tehschkott. If not she'll buy one and I'll drop it on her bike real quick.
Anybody got some panniers to borrow the lady?

[joeball]

I have a medium size pair Care-o-line can borrow. Also long as she has backpacking sleeping bag/pad she'll be fine for room.

[derrickito]

looks like the shortening of the route turned my andrea friend maybe into a big yes. that means ive got 2 seats taken. 2 other seats are still open, ryan, i can get you and caroline if you need a ride. if someone else is stuck without a ride, i can pack them in the back but it will be tight.

Note: I'm definitely still considering the possibility of coming on this trip.

[key lime]

Derrick/Andre - we'll take it.
I'll let her know. Thanks. I'll have her call you about the panniers, Andre.
If somebody else needs to sit back there it's fine we're skinny. More the merrier.
Does that mean everybody who wants to come and needs a ride is accounted for?

[joeball]

I can bring said sacks tonight or morning of on Saturday.

My legs are tired from hauling Monicas and I have bruises from trying to dodge giant logs which were flung at me from above. Good times.

Alex saved everyone from seeing my fuzzy butt for the rest of the day by bring extra pants besides all the extra food he brought. Way to be prepared; thanks.

Xtracycle mountain bike = rad way to roll over bumps

[Alex]

Awesome trip, I look forward to going back again this year. Not much riding, but a really special place to spend a weekend and the company was fun too.

Photos later...
