=== Monday morning hike ===
Several folks have expressed interest in a hike Monday morning led by Willson & McKee before the first event.  Here are Ken Willson's notes:
Hello to all Hikemiesters!
Lets meet at 7am Monday by the Timbers in Cucharra and head up. There is parking at the top for a $5 Fee. We will bring our Ford Econoline and can carry a number of folks willing to sit on the floor or campchairs. (we only have two seats installed). This hike is for beginning hikers but pays off with advanced beauty. The only issue is the 11,000 ft elevation. Barring a Gilligans island scenario we'll be back by 10, after all, this is just a 3 hour tour....
You don't need hiking gear, street shoes would work in a pinch tho warm layers would be advisable and a bit of H2o for the end.
See ya all!! Kenny

It would be great to have three each of drums, bass, rhythm guitar, & keys.  This way we can sub out all night as needs arise.  A couple good horn players would round it out perfectly.
