Yeah, even starting at 7am is kinda late, as it seems to get hot FAST. At least for me. I don't know if you're talking about shuttling, but quite a few guys seem to leave JPL by 6am or so to shoot up to RedBox and run the trail sin disgruntled hikers.

I think we were actually trying to head south for a San Juan shuttle. I'm actually open to both runs.

What time are you thinking on SJT. If you're shuttling, it's best to go after 10am to avoid the uphill crowd. I'd consider either.

We were planning on meeting at the bottom trail head @ 0900. May now need to re-consider with the climbers in mind...

Myself and at least 1 other rider are down for SJT. We'd do 9AM but believe me, if you'd like to get that flow going un interrupted, the later the better. We have a fullsize chevy pickup.

let me know.
