SEPTEMBER 10TH

This might be a dangerous idea for a bunch of (competitive)
auditors... =D Geocaching at Northstar Resort. Geocaching is high
tech treasure hunting. Please see the link below for more details.
Basically, you’re hiking with a GPS in search for “cache”/treasure.
You can look for as many caches as you want and hike as much as you
want. You may take the cache but you’ll have to replace it with
something else. There is also a logbook for you to sign at each
cache. However, the park does close at 5PM. We can meet up for
dinner afterwards in the Village to see which teams (we should still
use to buddy system and not hike alone) got the most caches.

Cost: The cost is $10 for a GPS rental (if you don’t have one) and $6
for the lift ticket to get you to the area.

Option for After Hiking: For those of you that want to stay overnight,
you may want to check out the Lake Tahoe Food and Wine Festival. The
Festival is going on that weekend at Northstar. See link below for
more details.

OCTOBER 1ST

Hiking the peaks of at Squaw Valley. This will be a MODERATE to
DIFFICULT hike according to the Squaw Valley Hike Brochure. So, don’t
let the mileage fool you. I’m not exactly sure the mileage but I’m
guessing about 6 miles round trip. We’ll be hike from the High Camp
chairlift to the top of Squaw Peak which is estimated to be 4.4 miles
round trip. However, we’ll be adding on a side trip to Emigrant
Peak. It’s be from A to C to F for Squaw Peak and then to E for
Emigrant Peak.

Cost: The cost is $30 for the lift ticket to get you to the area. If
we have a group of 25 or more, then I’ll call to inquiry about the
group rate of $17 each. So, whenever I get 25 people that show
interest, I’ll place a call to Squaw Valley.

Option for After Hiking: For those of you that want to stay
overnight, you may want to check out the 10th Annual Oktoberfest.
It’s starts at 2PM and goes till 6PM (I think). For more details and
cost see link below.

Just a reminder geocaching @ Northstar on Sept 10th.  See below for more details.  I haven't heard from anyone...  Will do a head count the week of to see if this trip will be possible.  A treasure hunt is more fun with a lot of ppl. =)

If anyone else is interested, please let Curt or me know.  Otherwise, I'll see everyone at the Northstar Gondola @ 10AM.   Note that we'll have to be back at the lift at the latest 4:30pm to catch the last ride down (or hike down yourself! Jk!).
 
Here is the link again on Geocaching...  please bring "cache" if you're planning to take "cache".
 
 
If anyone is interested, there is the Annual Lake Tahoe Autumn Food & Wine Festival and the Tahoe Star Tour avaliable after geocaching.  Advance ticket purchase might be needed.  Please check with your driver to see if everyone in the car wants to stay behind for these activities.
 
 
 
Rick & Huyen, let me know if you're interested in teh Tahoe Star Tour.  We'll need to get tickets in advance.  It's from 8:15pm to 10:30pm for $30 per person.

Sight change... we will be meeting at the NorthFace Store in the Village.  For those of you who haven't been to Northstar, the Village is where all the shops are at Northstar.  Same time (10AM).  There they will give us maps and a tutorial on geocaching.
 
See ya,
