Quartz Peak

[Tom Treks]

Never mind about the directions... found them. I'll be coming from the East.

Good to have you along TommyB! This is a big plus in the transportation department. If you can hook up with Cactuscat and Daddee, I will go pick up Cakewalk and Dennisbench. Keep in mind, it's a long drive to the trailhead from the East valley. I would like to meet at the trailhead at 9. That means I will be leaving Ahwatukee between 6:30 and 7:00.

OK... we are getting down to the nitty-gritty here........ Daddee, you in?

Everybody have a plan? know where we are meeting?

Weather forcast is sunny and 73... Trail head is 9 am expect at least 4 hours round trip.

Well... I have some bad news.

Turned my ankle playing racquetball last night. I iced it right away, but it is killing me. I doubt I'll be ready for Saturday. Especially with the difficulty involved. I really don't want to push it.

Sorry guys. I really wanted to do this one.

[Daddee]

I'm afraid that I will be out of this one as well. Family matters come first. Sorry all. But, on the bright side - nobody was really counting on my presence anyway...

TommyB, take care of that ankle. Don't want to make it worse. Daddee, you're right, family matters do come first. Sorry to hear that you guys can't make it.
Cactuscat, are you still in?

This is the absolute last call on this one! I will check the forum later tonight and one last time before I walk out the door at 6:30am to make sure there aren't others. Weather looks like it is going to be perfect

See you guys in the morning!!

I can really kick myself for not trying to get this one off alot sooner. I was hoping to do this one.
Seams like this happens alot that many people jump on the bandwagon and want to ge then something comes up and cannot go.
For the few of you going, have fun. Hope somebody takes pics and is able to post em.

DennisBench I was hoping to meet you since you live so close to me. Maybe we could get togather some other time.
