No problem Eric.

Earlier the better. I may even consider camping there the night before. It's quite a trek to get out there from where I am.

9:00am please.

Alans80 · 11-18-2007, 08:46 PM

I vote 0900 start. Thanks.

CADavebert · 11-19-2007, 01:18 AM

I vote 9.

It is way out of phase with my normal work schedule. How about drive out from trailhead at like 10:30 and then eat / meet afterwards. 9am trail roll out is painful.

Any time is fine by me. Never done Miller. Where are we meeting in Hungry Valley?

DustPark · 11-19-2007, 09:56 AM

Keep in mind Miller Trail ends or starts at a very high altitude. Dutch Campground. There could be snow and the trail starting from Lockwood Valley takes 4 1/2 plus hours. A big group will make it longer. If you take the trail from Dutch campground you will be going downhill on Miller.

Dustpark, would you say that Miller is similar to Dishpan in terms of difficulty?

DustPark · 11-19-2007, 10:12 AM

I really would like to come to this event. I think Miller is a great Hardcore trail. Dishpan is more tippy and short. Miller Jeep requires good traction and at least one Locker. Snow would make me nervous. If it's snowing the park would be great fun. Miller is really remote.

It would be great for you to join

Shooting for a "Hardcore trail" might desuade stockers and newbies. I want to make sure it's a good run for all levels. I'm still doing research and yes I am discovering Miller is on the tough side. Then again, anyone can "meet" up with us then "run" the more difficult trails. I do plan to prerun the location.

Regarding the time, how about?

9:00 Meet
10:30 Mir207 Arrives then we hit the trail
We can Meet again at the end of the day over dinner for those who have time to hang out.

******************

I just had coffee with a J**per friend of mine and he doesn't recommend Miller in a stock rig. I'll continue researching.

I vote the earlier the better, how about 8:00!! More day light to do a lot of trails. I've never been to Hungry Valley so I would like to take in as much as possible.
