Maverick's 2016 Annual HST Meet-up

A forum to initiate member meet-up. Looking for a hiking/climbing/fishing/skiing/etc. partner, or are you planning a trip where you wouldn't mind having some company? Last minute invites can be just as fun as a well-planned group trip (sometimes even better) so don't be shy! And be sure to post a trip report to the appropriate forum when you get back.

I'm planning on reaching the meet-up location Thursday in the early afternoon. Perhaps I will run into Gazelle as she descends one of the local peaks like last year. I will be coming over north Glacier along the SHR from Mammoth. Depending on luck & timing, maybe I'll see Maverick/Oleander Wed on their way to Old Bones while I head to Bench canyon/Blue lake.

I'm going to check out the local streams/lakes for fishing, then take-off Friday morning for Tuolumne meadows via Vogelsang HSC. Catch YARTS back to Mammoth and head home.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I will be coming and bring one friend from Mono Meadows.

The tour bus to get us from the valley to Mono Meadows is sold out. I should have thought of buying tickets early. Any suggestions?
Also, will parking in the valley trailhead be impossible on a Sunday morning when we start the shuttle?
