looks like it was fun!

April is the worst month for a tax man, april 15 for personal returns and April 30 for payroll tax returns.

You can post here if your interested in a return trip and when. Sue(cb977) has made this a sticky and can be found at the top of "Orchids in the wild" forum.
I'm good to go either this coming weekend or next. (June 5th.6th,12th or the 13th)

I am good to go this weekend or next but would prefer this Saturday. So I guess that would be the 5th. But lets see what other people have going on.

This Saturday may work for me, I'll need to check with my wife. What slough do you plan on searching Dave? If I head down, I would like to check out an area I haven't already been to.

Well Justin I'm not sure where you have been but the most important thing is to find a Ghost flower. It will also depend on the ability of others. I won't make that decision till we get there.

Well I happen to have the best wife ever, so I'm on for Saturday. I spent all of yesterday searching for Vanilla mexicana and last week was Tolumnia week. She's been so supportive!

When will we know Saturday is confirmed and how early do we get there?

Great!When everyone that is going confirms yea or nay. Last time we got there between 8:00-8:30am

Ok, I'm ready to go!

Well it looks like Saturday the 5th at 8:00am at the ranger's station and will be heading in at 8:30am. It may be best if we park across the street next to the lake. Not knowing how many cars there will be. I think everyone has been before but just a reminder. We will be walking in water at times up to your knee's and depending on how much energy you have it may be a couple miles or more walk. You will not need 50lbs. of equipment. Less is better. Camera with macro lens is best. Again light weight long pants and shirt are highly recommended. Freeze a couple water bottles so you can have cold water most of the day. Something to eat while walking/lunch. A walking stick may also be helpful. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

See you then!
