Hello Fred,

?

We are staying in Wagon Mound. Wagon Mound has their Bean Festival on Labor Day Weekend. We were there last April as my Wife's (KA0JKZ) mother had family there 60+ years ago. We met some extended family that is still in the area and will set up in their driveway.

?

<<< have heard about that celebration, have not attended but am certain it is a good time!

?

I plan to bring my Kawasaki KLR motorcycle in the back of the trailer to head out for the summits. My wife might try to convince me to take the truck though. She worries about me on the bike.

?

I would be happy to have company on these hikes. I will plan for the El Porvenir CG trailhead at 8am on Friday morning. Would earlier be better? Looks to be a bit over an hour from Wagon Mound.

<<<? theoretically, good.? But practically, not so sure:? likelihood of thunder storms is significant, and enhanced by the parking area is not much above creek level, a creek subject to flash flooding in the wake of the fire.

<<< let’s keep an eye on things… fred
