I heard you mentioning "regular trips to the "Wall O’ Wine™" so I added myself to the list. I'll be happy to supervise those trips and help out with whatever else needs doing.

I'm coming for the tri-tip (hint), wine, fried foods at the fair, the miles. and the tax free shopping. And the company. Sorry about the clams. Not.

Haven't booked flights yet.

Unfortunately, I just found out I have to be in SAN during the week of the DO, so I'm out. I have updated the wiki accordingly.

I updated the wiki with the portion(s) I would try to attend. I won't know until literally a few days before, since I will be trying to go standby on B6 I am banking on the new service not doing so well at first and there being lots of seats.

Any more thought on Part I ANC plans? Denali, Valdez, other? I likely would not get in until Saturday evening/night. Apart from schedule, I haven't been to Valdez so that's my preference anyway.

For anybody who are in fact going to Denali, I was there last year over Labor day weekend and it was spectacular - clear, bright blue sky for my day in the park! Don't know if that is a normal occurrence for that time of year though. Will definitely go back some time but probably not this trip.

For those who are planning on Denali after the DO, the lottery dates this year are 9/11-14 and you can apply in June.

Not sure where you got your road lottery info but it is wrong. Road Lottery this year is Sep 18-21. Also applications are in May not June (have been for a couple years now).

Right you are. I looked it up on nps.gov late last year probably and took a screen shot and went with that. I see it is now updated to what you have above! Glad I posted and you replied, otherwise I'd have missed the update.

Road lottery always starts the second Friday after Labor Day. so it is pretty easy to figure out :-).

I spoke to Beck about this last week. He is working on a volume discount on tents from Costco. They come in one person, two person, 4 person and family size. So, please begin working on who you will be tenting with. Beck will put the survey shortly. They will have to be ordered and it will take a while to get them delivered.

Jackal will be arranging to get them shipped to DUT.

I'm in! For real this year.

So is the BBQ Friday or Saturday? I'm currently booked out on the 5am to SEA on Saturday, but I can probably slide that back to one of the after midnight departures on Sunday, if required.
