The first was last year at Las Trampas Regional Wilderness. Given that the earthy rodent’s day in the sun (or shadow) is fast approaching, it’s time to think about where this one will be.

I already have a hiking date for Saturday, Feb. 2 (I’m a special guest on a Bay Area Linkup hike at Big Basin — I’m pretty sure  permission from Schwarzenegger himself had to be secured to allow this deviation from protocol), but I’m free on Sunday, Feb. 3, so that’s my date for the Invitational.

Any of you who have that day open are invited to come along (I had to say that to justify calling it an invitational).

Yeah, but where?

I think it has to be Henry Coe, in honor of the park’s threatened status.  We can work out the rest on the fly, I suppose, but be thinking about a mid-morning start (say, 10 a.m.) and a mid-afternoon finish (say 2 p.m.).
