[Grad-postdoc-assn] Hike in Rocky Mountain National Park

[Manuela Sauer]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for sending this hiking email out to everyone, but this way you are
reminded again in case you were undecided...and you still have a chance to
sign up today:     https://doodle.com/poll/cgudmnqmy5dgftbf
Otherwise you can just delete this email.


Here is some more information for our hike in Rocky Mountain National Park
this coming Saturday.
We will meet at *FL2 at 7:00 am* to head out. Please be there on time or
let anyone know if you won't show up (e.g. sign out of the Doodle list) so
that we are not going to wait in vain.

Weather-wise we should be good as only typical thunderstorms are expected
in the afternoon. Otherwise it should be sunny. So don't forget to put *sun
cream* on and bring some *protection for your head*. And also, since we are
in the mountains, please *be prepared for changing weather*, including
wind, rain and lower temps.

Bring enough *water* and *your lunch / a snack*.

Currently 13 people are signed up to join the hike. Great!
So 3-4 cars should be fine (unless more people sign up today). I suggest we
decide that morning who will actually drive.
Including me, 3 people already have a park pass, Allison may get one and
Becky, if its not too much effort, maybe you can bring a pass as well. That
way we should be good in any case.

In case anyone needs to reach us that morning, my (Manuela) number is 720
453 2432.

We are looking forward to a nice day in the Park with all of you!

See you on Saturday!
Clay and Manuela
