[NMCCSC] not a ski trip trip plan

[Alan Shapiro via NMCCSCeGroup]

This message is directed to those that may have interest in a 
hiking/backpacking/peak bagging plan of mine.  One night car-camping, 
one night backpack in the southern Magdalena mountains.

I've got a plan for *Thursday, April 18 through Saturday, April 20* that 
includes hiking both Vicks Peak and San Mateo Mtn.  It starts with 
car-camping at Springtime NF campground Thursday night. Friday hiking 
out the Shipman Canyon trail to Myers Cabin (about 5 mi.) and making 
camp, then hike up San Mateo Mtn.  It looks like about a half-mile 
off-trail hike with about 650 ft. of elevation. Then back to our camp by 
Myers Cabin for the night.  The next day, Saturday, there is a Sierra 
club group coming by on a day-hike to do the off-trail up Vicks Peak.  
 From Meyers Cabin it is also an off-trail hike to Vicks.  About 1 mi. 
and 800 ft. of elevation.  Do that hike with the SC group.  Back down to 
Meyers Cabin, pack up and hike out.  Getting back to Springtime 
Campground late afternoon, then drive home.

These 2 peaks are in the southern Magdalena Mtns.  The drive to the 
Springtime Campground from Santa Fe is 3 1/2 hrs.  Estimate 6 mi. hiking 
Friday and 7 mi. Saturday.

The listing for that Sierra Club dayhike:

/Saturday, April 20. Strenuous hike of Vicks Peak, San Mateo Mountains. 
Meet at Springtime Campground at 9//
//a.m. and you may prefer to camp overnight. We'll hike up to Myers 
Cabin on the Shipman Canyon trail saddle and//
