Jim,
Awesome trip! We can’t thank you enough for putting it together and pulling it off.

Others,
It was great to meet up with you, hope to see you again on the trails.

What a great group of people......nice to see old friends and find new ones. Thanks to Rich and friends for providing security from the "upper camp location".....Update ...Ann's knee injury is getting better.

What a great weekend!

I can't really add much to Jim's summary: great scenery, perfect weather, and a wonderful opportunity to see friends from past trips and meet some new friends.

I had mentioned to a few of you that Papoose Flat seems to be of interest to the geologists. It is a notable pluton, which is a body of intrusive igneous rock. I'm not an expert here, but I believe the large granite outcroppings that dot the flat are a result of this process.

Anyway, here is a link to a short article about the formation of Papoose Flat.; A Google search for "Papoose Flat pluton" will yield quite a few other articles about the area.

Thanks again Jim for all the work you put into the planning and logistics for the trip.
