I wanted to take a moment to both thank people for their kindness and hospitality and also apologize for my absence on Sunday. I had an unavoidable situation which delayed my departure about 90 minutes Sunday morning even though I'd allowed extra time. In the end I felt there was no way I could make the departure time even at cop-bait speed on the way down - and once there, the trails and CJA route plans were a complete mystery.
I was so ticked I can't describe it. It sounded absolutely perfect for me. I went out Saturday and bought a new smaller cooler to avoid the chest sized one. I had Juicy Jumbos for several people. I chopped enough onion for a dozen people's dogs/smokies/burgers. I had enough fresh buns for an army. I had fresh batteries and an empty 1 gb memory card in the camera. Even the weather (at least at this end) cooperated.
Thanks so much for the welcome and kindness. I hope there's another open stocker run in the near future.
