wb, you must be one of those polar bears. If I waited for 40 degree temps, I'd never go up there. Last time it was in the 90s when I got back. I was definitely feeling it. I don't live in Palm Springs so I don't have the luxury of starting super early. Driving up from SD early in the morning is pain enough.

I've taken a few people up there, but I don't mind going solo. I was afraid at one time when someone on the SJ board reported seeing two mountain lions. Otherwise, it's always a blast. I heard the meetup group will turn people around if they can't make it to the picnic tables quick enough. Just an FYI Jeff.
