We'll meet at Wooly Mammoth parking lot, Section BB at 5:45 AM to figure out carpooling. We'll leave the parking lot no later than 6 AM. The group size will be limited by parking availability at Summit Lake parking lot. I purchased one ($7) at time of posting and will depend on one of the group who is willing to drive to purchase a second parking reservation. There are 7 parking spots left at this time, so if you are willing to drive, please note in your profile or message me, so we can secure a second parking reservation
