Leader permission required, but folks attending this trip as well as my Burroughs/Skyscraper scramble on June 6 automagically have this permission for both of these trips (folks not attending both need to email me for permission). Mountain bikes will not be required between the cars and the Dosewallips Ranger Station. The hike to (and returning from) our camp at Honeymoon Meadows will be together.
