Yes, the BBQ is at the top of Two Peaks. We'll be firing up the
grill (or some version thereof) at approximately 1pm. We'd love to
see your head "peak" over the top just in time for a hamburger or
hot dog. You put in the effort of getting here, and we'll put in
the effort of feeding you.
We will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, cheese, rolls/buns,
ketchup, mustard and chips. Perhaps some onions, tomatoes and
pickles as well but no promises there. If you'd like other
condiments you are on your own to bring them with you.
No promises on this either, but we expect to have a limited
supply of (self serve) soft drinks and beer (owners' selection
) on ice at the base of the mountain
for you to haul up if choose. The location/waypoint of that still
TBD.
For obvious planning reasons, it would really help to have an
accurate head count by 8/17. We would like to assure that all those
who respond get fed properly, and because of the nature of the hike
to Two Peaks we'll probably have very little extra food.
The most viable starting points are the Pickett Pen Road access
and Van Vleck access. I would think that attendees may want to
depart as a group to make the long walk a bit more interesting.
From the first gate off Pickett Pen Road to the base of Two Peaks
is approx 4.5 miles (one way). The access from Van Vleck is
probably a tad closer but finding your way on "trails" is not quite
as straight forward. Pick your poison. If you have never done a
"real" terrain 4.5 cache than be prepared...this is a "real" one
for sure. But we hope to entice and sidetrack you with the smell of
a BBQ...
