So I'm thinking about setting up a gathering in J-Tree the 1st or 2nd weekend of December. Who is in and when do you perfer.
If you come the people from the Az gathering can show you how to "ship the box" and rate a jiffy pop as an aid route
let me know and I'll get started on it ASAP
Climb safe and don't drive angry

Hey Zac,
How is the weather up there around that time of year? My thoughts are desert + winter = dry and freezing. Correct my ignorance here and I will gladly join your party.

This would be RC.com Event at J-Tree #2, as this was the Gig that started the whole RC.com Events & Gatherings Forum.
Probably better to have it in early January, as it was last year, so as to give users time to do the Holiday Thing with their families. They can also use their X-Mas gifts at the crag.

Yeah yeah yeah!
I'm in but I'm with rrradam that it would be better (for me anyhow) if it were last week of December (after xmas) or up to the first week in January.
Maybe we could just have a big, month-long, rotating event so everybody can make it at one time or another.

Hey Zac - great idea! I'm up for another gathering... AZ was awesome. Don't have a preference on dates but lots of people at the AZ gathering were already talking about New Year's in Joshua Tree.

I'm cool with January. What do you all think of the 13th to the 15th of January?

Oooh, I went to Josh early Feb of this year and fairly froze my knickers off. Maybe if it's not so windy, and I don't have a sucky little tent, and I generally figure out how to suck it up ...
Holiday Thing... sheeeeeeesh

I'm defintely up for a gathering in J-Tree. We should do it as a New Year's bash, but if not enough people are cool with that then lets do it some other time in January. As far as "shipping the box" goes, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

ROTFLMAO!!!!
(Ship the Box) Zac.....you're so cool.
Ok, a rather intimate group of us will be in J-Tree for New Years, but by no means is it of "Gathering" status.
So I'd be up for early December as well. Mid January might not work for us because we'll be settling back down into work after the holidays.

Nice choice for a gathering. I have been thinking of going there. This just might prompt me to set other things aside. I'll let you know soon. Great idea!!!

There is that 3 day weekend in January, I think it is MLK day, Civil Rights day, Black Monday, or whatever you call it, it is a holiday. This seems like the PERFECT time for a gathering.
I went last Feb during the olympic break we got from school and the weather was perfect.
I would love to go again.
And if Jan does not work out, maybe that long weekend in Feb. Those are the only 2 days off school we get all semester! (stupid school)

I'm going to start early this year. Already the temps are shaping up and I'll be there the first week of November for a handful of days, then Thanksgiving week. After that, I'll be in and out over the rest of the season if anyone is interested, just leave a message.
Adam - I've got a few projects for you that should make for eventful conversation over the evening fires - can't wait to get you back into town hehehe....

I'm Definitely up for it!
I allready have a trip planned for Dec 26-Jan 2nd, and I'm bringing about 5 other people out with me.
I planned on staying in Hidden Valley for the most part, with a day trip down to Indian Cove to do a couple of classics I loved from when I used to live out there.
We'll have two vehicles, a Lincoln Continental (Dad's cushy ride) and a shiney new Black Nissan Xterra.
So uh, we could probably pick up at least one, maybe 2 other climbers on the way out there from Tucson or maybe Phoenix.
Can't wait to see everyone again!
I think I feel a "w00t" coming on...

I have "mandatory vacation" the week between Christmas and New Years, so I'm looking for somewhere to go anyway. Seems like a gathering in JT around New Years would be perfect - maybe start on Dec 27 (giving people "family time" for Christmas), and run through New Years, culminating with a big party at midnight on top of Intersection Rock, or some other cool locale.
Yeah, 5 days would work perfect. Weekend gatherings are just so short - by the time everyone actually gets there, it seems like it's already time to go home.

Karen and I have spent the last 3 New Year's Eves there and have had a blast. It's crowded, so get there days early to get a spot. As the entire park is full.

Well, Joe. It seems that the AZ people had so much fun, I think we might have to make this a regular thing (get-togethers on the weekends).
So, um.....you're just going to have to move down here. You're so cool, you should be from AZ anyway .
Tell your boss I apologize, but he's going to have to find someone else.

I like Joe's idea. December 27th is a great time for doing it. Not only will we be able to spend time with family, but it'll give us 3 days to gather everyone together for the New Year's Bash.

I'm going to be at JT Feb15-22. I was there last Feb. and the weather was fine. This is my favorite place. I have heard that there is NOTHING like JT on New Years Eve, the whole place gets caught up in a desert vortex.

It all sounds good to me. I'll probably be out there just about every weekend this winter.
It will be nice to meet all of you who are coming from Arizona. I was born in Nogales but I cried everyday till my parents decided to move to So. Ca. It took two weeks.(I wanted to learn how to surf)
