Edition 5, April 2001

Hi Grand Canyon Trekkers!  Just a few reminders for you.

1. If you haven't done so already, hand in your final $200 payment, medical form and permission slip ASAP.

2. If you didn't turn in your $7.00 for Mischa Mokwa tonight, please do so when you get to the Annex Friday.

3. If you attended the Winter Bushwhack hike and want a 2001 patch, please give Rick $8.00 ASAP.  Patches will be received in December.

4. Here's the scoop for the Mischa Mokwa hike this weekend: Meet at the church Friday at 6:00 p.m.  It is about a five hour drive so you may want to bring something with you to do.  Saturday morning will be a busy one.  We have to get the vehicles to the other end of the trail, receive a briefing from the park service and pick up the keys for the cabin.  Then you will return to the traihead and hike 14 miles to the campground/cabin.  On Sunday you will hike 7 miles to the end of the trail.  It is another five hour drive home so expect to return in the early evening.  Important items:
     a. Begin two function as two crews
     b. Dress for the weather
     c. You will not need to carry a tent since you will be sleeping in a small cabin
     d. Make meal arrangements for the weekend (group size, menu, crew cooking equipment, etc.)

Jeff Gardner is looking for a Quartermaster(s) for the Grand Canyon trek.  Those interested in the job should contact him immediately.
