As always, I had an amazing weekend and I already can't wait for next year!!
A few thoughts:
-I really like how well the food thing played out. In the future, I hope we can delegate some other things like utencils/plates/etc to make sure we have enough for the group
-3 days was such a great idea. Gave us the time to explore and check out new stuff....such as, the new campsite for night 1 (phallus rock? is that a real name or do we have one?)
-We really got both extremes in terms of weather this time around....Fri night at 5500 ft was downright COLD....and Sunday afternoon, while checking out the mine, mid 90's was....mildly oppressive
-Bummed I missed out on the Zzyzx trip, but I was cooked and ready for the long drive home
I have to say; I love how SCCX does it. We had plenty of people from different walks of life....we had a Jeeper who stumbled upon us at Ft. Paiute, who ended up following us around the rest of the weekend....a guy who signed up on the site a day earlier and snuck onto the list at the last moment...but, we all hung out and came together like we've known each other forever. The signs of a very strong group.
