Paypal is just a way to xfer money between people. You can see how it works at Paypal.com.

I'll call you. An Apple/berry combo would be good then. Also one for you and Paul would be awesome too, my treat. I'll just bring the money on Sat. Morning to reimburse you.

Thanks for your help.

Mark, while I do appreciate the offer, to be honest I really don't want to try to get 7 or 8 pies and keep them intact. They are generally still warm when I get them, and you have to keep the lids open on the boxes. That makes them hard to pack. Also, and thanks again for the offer, but I don't need a whole pie to take home, and we don't even know if Paul is going to be there.

I really think that the best thing to do is that I will pick up the usual 3 or so pies (depending on what the count looks like towards the end of the week), and anyone who wants to contribute to the cost is welcome to help out. There is no need for you to pay for the whole thing.  As usual, I'll bring the paper plates and plastic forks.

I won't be camping, as I have things to do on Sunday.  It should be really nice out there if anyone does camp, and I think a few people talked about it.  You can ask here, or just bring your stuff work something out when you get there.

The only thing - if you plan to camp on Friday night, depending on where, you may find it easier to meet at the end of Split Mountain Road at the start of the Fish Creek trail.  If all goes even remotely according to plan we should hit there a bit after 11:00AM. The Visitor Center is 28 miles away, no sense in driving an extra 50-60 miles first thing in the morning.

Based on prior years my plan would be to get back to pavement at just about dusk.  That's the way it has worked out in the past. Days are short right now. The drive would not be all that difficult in the dark if you were alone, but that we might have a lot of trucks and it's pretty dusty out there. Those two things combined could make it a pain to drive out in the dark as visibility in the dust would suck.

No problem. I am just thinking about when I will be hitting the highway home.

Also consider the time it takes to air up 4 tires before heading out.

Fred, are you going to be there?  It's been a long time.

[Kyle J. Thompson]

The way it has worked for the last 4 years (plus a few other runs along the way) is that I stop at the Julian Pie Company main bakery in Santa Ysabel and pick up a few fresh apple (or similar, depending on what is available and looks good when I get there) pies, and we all share them.  If you want to contribute to the cost that is appreciated, but not required.  I am not taking orders for whole pies, that is way too much work for me to deal with.  These pies are pretty heavy, each one makes close to 8-10 slices.  We generally have some left over, and people can fight over who gets to take the leftovers.  I'll bring a stack of paper plates and plastic forks too.  

Bring whatever else you want for lunch.
