Jinx - What are NP and CNS? I've heard that Shasta is a good time and I'd love to get Whitney under my belt. I had a buddy head up to Denali this summer but he didn't get above 17,000 due to weather being terrible.

Sounds awesome Chris. I am going to be getting some egg hens myself, and while the limit in Colorado Springs is 6 I may get more. We'll see when I get home, I guess.
