Official NOAA Warning:

On Thursday, May 9, 2024, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch. At least five earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed and expected to arrive as early as midday Friday, May 10, 2024, and persist through Sunday, May 12, 2024. Several strong flares have been observed over the past few days and were associated with a large and magnetically complex sunspot cluster (NOAA region 3664), which is 16 times the diameter of Earth.

*please, if we're going to have a Carrington event, I'd like to get home from yet another trip hauling people to/from LAX, thank you.

19 hr 3 min to walk that sucker... 49.2 miles. Most I have walked in a day is 20 miles, and that sucked. So... make that a 3 day trip, with water and people who have lost their minds the biggest issue, LOL.Hit the nearest bicycle store or find someone who'd sell you a bike and make it a 5 hour pedal... #contingencyplanning (not seriously worried about this, but always fun to think out scenarios).

@ai6yr I used to ride in those mountains a lot and I've dragged unsuspecting friends up there too. The 2k+ feet of elevation gain can be brutal if you aren't trained for it. It's a relentless uphill that turns into a very long slog when the legs give out and the granny gear isn't low enough any more. You'd need lots of water too as it's starting to get hot.

@teleclimber Oh yes, quite familiar with that, LOL. I have done a lot of hiking around there. You would be better off just pedaling up the PCH where it's flat.
