Put me down for this one as well but May is a little while off yet so I will need to reconfirm a little closer to the date. BTW we stopped in at Howitt Hut on the last trip and it is a nice spot with a good hut and new toilets.

I'm tentatively interested in this trip. I've never done Valencia Creek (incredibly, in all these years)
