i prefer saturdays just because i need a day to wind down before work starts back up or it gives me a day before Monday to get things in order at work [for work].

almost any weekend is good with the exception of the next two weekends.

I second the preference for doing it on a Saturday. I have a wedding to go to on 3/7.

March 21st sounds like a great date. At least that's my vote.

21st and 28th work for me. Now for the fun of setting up a shuttle of some sort. That is going to be the real obstacle unless y'all are up for a 25-miler.

I can "legally" fit five in my Rover...I should really consider getting the jump seats. I can park at the fire station the night before, I'm pretty sure. The other two could squeeze in the back with the packs and no belts (=bad idea) or we'll need another vehicle up top...

Have fun guys, I new the chances of a weekend working out for me were slim anyways. I do want to checkout the sutherland trail though before I leave. Yeah that shuttle is a pain though. When I did it last time we were lucky enough to have a friend in Tucson drop off his truck the night before at the ski area and get a ride back into town. Then he just met us at the TH in the AM. Even doing it that way it's still a good 1 1/2 hours from the time you finish your hike till you get back to your cars.

oops... didn't see that was bad for other people! hmmm... when do you need commitment? i really want to do this hike but i am unsure about other logistics at this point in time... by the end of this week i may have my scheduled solidified.

2/28 is bad for me but 3/28 also works with my schedule. We'd better hit the mountain early to avoid the heat, though the trail being on the westside should help with that. :D

Shall we agree on the 21st? The 28th also works for me. Anyone?
