I have a blaze orange Elmer Fudd hunting cap complete with ear muffs - I will definitely bring it.

FYI, October 12-13 is elk 1st rifle season, then the blaze orange caps are pretty much necessary.

Good luck finding some. If I recall, Steve looked and looked and was not very successful in finding in any current ones available. He was able to find a few, which he purchased. I think the one they laid out at his memorial service had to be one of the new ones, given that it wasn't faded!

Phill the Thrill, where and when did you get yours?

Me to.

Agreed

My dad got it at a garage sale years ago and thought I would like it since I hunt. My reaction: I'd NEVER wear that. But funny how you change your mind when it's 5 degrees F. and you're walking in the snow all day looking for elk.

Prefer October, but am fairly open.

We won't be able to make Oct 12-13. We'll be in the Maritimes and along visiting family heading up to Mt Carleton, high point of New Brunswick. Oct 5-6 MountainHikerette won't be able to make it, but I will. We should be able to make it both weekends in Sept.

I'm pretty sure I have a blaze orange hat that will work.

Thank you for organizing this hike, Anna.

This Fall Gathering is still 6 weeks out however, I am asking for your help.

I've been asked by Nona Gladbach to put together a memorial video for the family, and this gathering is a perfect way to meet up with those who knew Steve Gladbach. I am planning to attend Oct 5-6 so I can film some short interviews.


Two things:
1. If you were friends with Steve, would be willing to share a few short comments on-camera with me, and are attending this gathering would you please let me know?
2. If you were friends with Steve, would be willing to share a few short comments on-camera with me, and are NOT attending this gathering but would like to meet some other time/place for a short interview, would you let me know?

Thanks!
Britt
