Meet at the Gold Hill Trailhead at 6:50 a.m.
Or meet at the Horseshoe campground at 8 a.m. It looks like there is a small parking area on the right along the road that accesses the campground. Meet the group here.
Be prepared for a very STEEP climb. Expect some class 2 rock-hopping and possible class 2+ scrambling. Pace will NOT be fast, particularly on the ascent above 12,000'.
The reimbursement for fuel will be .35/mile X 70 miles r/t = $25.00 divided by the people in the car.
