Hi Gang!
Sorry for not posting yesterday...here are three of the six site numbers:
44, 52, 54
Ren's site numbers will be on the board at the ranger station (they post reservations on the bulletin board, look for the name Darran Chasson) since his reservations start tonight.
Ren and Skibs are in Ryan Campground (main park) at site 9 or 10.
Tonight, we should meet at their site to have dinner. There just aren't enough site sin the main park to camp though. Black Rock will pretty much just be for sleeping...
Unless of course, the keg shows! Then everyone will flock there...

In reply to: what is this "edchada's" and where do I find it? Assuming I miss everyone on Saturday and end up with the girl I'm bringing, my dog and the keg I'll need some good food, and people seem to be raving about this place. plus we'll need something to soak up the keg of newcastle.
Edchada's -- Yucca Valley -- on the main highway, in a strip center on the south side of the street, toward the west end of town. Dinner, 7 pm Saturday night.

of course, if you want real food (real good food) several people are headed to the Indian place in the town of Joshua Tree... it kicks ass all over Ed Chada's with big heavy boots, I'm afraid.

WHATTA MEAN "unless" THE KEG SHOWS!?!
The only thing keeping it from showing is A) if it has gotten stolen from my apartment since I came to work. B) If I can't find anyone at Black Rock.
Since I'm plaaning on being at the coffee shop around 830 tomorrow morning I hope I run into someone there, if not, I'll head over to Black Rock and see if people are there. I'll probably use the site numbers just posted above to track people down so if you someone rolling a keg through your camp, stop me.
If anyone is overly concerned with the locale of the keg, PM me and I'll give you my cell number.
See you all in a bit...

I don't think Edchada's is great or anything, it's your standard Mexican joint, but it's in Morongoloid Valley, so the standards probly aren't very high to begin with...

Their margaritas are right up there. And after you finish one of their jumbos you don't care much about any drawbacks the place might have.
Also, it's one of the few restaurants around that can handle a group of 15 sweaty, dirty climbers.

Tape gloves? I thought this was rock climbing in the spring in Josh. I don't recall wearing gloves when rock climbing, only ice.
Just how cold is it there right now?

Well, I can say for myself that this weekend was awesome. You guys and girls were and are amazing. It's nice to be around people as passionate about something as I am. Plus, I got to get on a rope for the first time outside and I don't think I flailed around too bad.
Thanks for everyone's noble efforts on the keg too.
I'm always looking to get outside so if any of you are you getting out, or if there will be another gathering anywhere else, please feel free to PM me and let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks again everyone!
FYI, Chase says hi to all

Well we had the pleasure of Climbing with mr. Nolagkc all weekend and I can totally vouch for the fact that this guy does not flail. Here's your first outdoor climb.

It was a pleasure meeting everybody this weekend, saw many old friends and meet many new ones.

That was a great trip. It was my first official RC.com gathering so it was fun putting faces to names. I'm amazed how many people came from out of state! When's the next gathering?

The next gathering!, That's what I'm talking about! This trip was such a success for myself for a number of reasons so I have great hopes for the next one. As long as I can talk myself out of work for a day or two, make a long weekend out of it perhaps, I'm down for pretty much anything as long as someone will let me clean, cause I'm no where near leading yet.
However, if I have to fly somewhere, I'm not sure that I can check a keg...or the dog for that matter.
But lets get some ideas for the next one!

Hey all.
It was great meeting those of you I had a chance to meet Friday night. Unfortunately I came down with a stomach bug at about 4:30 that morning and high tailed it back to my house. I can't think of much worse then being stuck in the middle of no where being sick. I tried to suck it up and make it back up there but I just couldn't make it. Sounds like I missed an awesome time.
Well I am moving back to Wyoming in the next couple of months. If anyone who hasn't climbed in Wyoming (ie Lander -- Sinks canyon and Wild Iris or in Laramie -- Vedauwoo) I would be more than happy to be a guide and possibly could even find some free bivys in both places. I know quite a few people here and there. I know in Lander that you can camp for free right in there city park.
I am planning a trip to Lander within the next two months. If anyone is interested send me a message.
Take Care everyone
Cheri
