Meet at the Upper Big Quilcene trailhead, ready to go at 8am.  For those interested in following me (it's a long forest road to the trailhead), we can meet at the Quilcene Ranger Station at 7am.

We will camp at Shelter Rock Camp, which is a 2.6 mile hike from the trailhead.  We will set up camp then, for those interested, we will day hike up to Marmot Pass.
