Have a great time! Alas, the East Bay/South Bay TE contingent shall neither be present nor correct.One was ruuuude enough to have a birthday that day
and she and many of the rest of us weren't really inclined to negotiate the hordes. And the one among us who would have gladly hung out on Diablo instead went & signed up for a ride up in Petaluma that day.
The DVR is set, I'll be looking for ya!
... hmm, what's all this about Jens???... scurrying off to the DVR

Awww.... just after you posted about doing lots of hiking.
I'd have been happy to watch it on tv, but the secret to a successful marriage is not ALWAYS getting your own way.
Just most of the time.

We plan on driving up pretty soon after they open the gates at 8. We thought about doing the motorcycle too, but since you can only get to the Junction by vehicle, decided to take the car. We'll go in North Gate Rd. and Thom is thinking he'll park at the hairpin just below the rangers' house. There is a very wide spot there, so he'll be able to get off the road. We'll be able to hike up at a leisurely place, scoop out where the best photo opportunities are, eat lunch and station ourselves in a good place.

It remains to be seen whether I want to get up early enough to go there (I just got back from visiting my mom in Maine and am a bit behind on sleep) or whether I'm going to sleep in and have a hike with the dogs instead. I will ping you guys if I do go. Have fun either way!

And how was Maine? We'll be heading that way in mid June.
I get needing sleep. I've had two late nights in a row and I'm REALLY happy today was a half day. I can now take a nap!

How was it? I just got through watching it on the TeeVee. A lovely day with great spectator turnout - I wonder how long it took to get everyone off the mountain, oy. Where were you located?
So cool to see those climbs I've crawled up.
