Prepping for the May program

4/18/18 -- Just back from a meeting with Lisa DeHart, the archaeologist for the Summit Ranger District, Stanislaus National Forest.  Quite an interesting talk about our steady march up Highway 108 to Sonora Pass starting with the June hike on the Sugar Pine Railroad Grade, Strawberry Branch then the July hike to Relief Reservoir and finally the September hike to Sonora Peak/Stanislaus Peak.  We're basically reversing and intersecting the route of the early emigrants.  I'm having a time wrapping my mind about what they went through with those wagons and those mountains!  Anyway, looking forward to the hikes and putting together what I hope is a compelling program for May.  And, our June hike, Saturday 6/2/18, falls on NATIONAL TRAILS DAY!  You gotta make it to this hike!
