Expedition '07

It is time to resurrect the topic of camping as we now have dates to work with. Gabe suggests that we go camping June 15th through the 17th. Coincidentally the 17th is Father's day and the American Grand Prix (F1, the pinnacle of motorsport for those who aren't in the know) but we will be back sometime in the afternoon so as not to interfere with any festivities.

First we need to choose a location, something that offers a range of hikes (low/high altitude) and activities (swimming, backpacking, rafting?, etc.) would be ideal. The Mount Princeton area does offer all of the aforementioned items and is a very nice place but a different location would be nice as well. Perhaps Rocky Mountain National Park? Any other suggestions?

Second as we had discussed on the last camping post we do need to choose what kind of camping and activities we would like. Our two main options for camping are sissy camping/backpacking or just sissy camping. The advantage of sissy camping both nights is that it would allow us to do something aside from hiking on Saturday (rafting?). Backpacking would allow us to get to a more remote/pristine location and do some higher altitude hikes in the evening or early morning.

To start making decisions we need comments on the location and format (type of camping). I know I just threw rafting out there, if people express interest in it I can start looking into our options.
