I know alot of you wanted to have the gathering on New Years, but rrradam and I feel it better to go with mid January do to the Epic factor for out of towners. So the dates are Jan 17th to the 19th. I will reserve one spot at Sheeps Pass for the 16th and two for the 17th to the 19th. Please let me know if you will be attending so I can add sites as needed. I think the sites can hold 50 people and 20 cars so don't be alarmed about only two sites.
If these dates are a big deal and you had your heart set on New Years, I'm sorry but I'm only thinking of the big picture. I'm sure if you want to be at J-Tree at that time there will be alot of RC.com people there. So again I'm sorry if I did'nt make everyone happy, but I'm sure we will all have a great New Years and enjoy the gathering in January.
-Zac

Karen and I should be in, as we will be working in maryland at a Nuke till May of '03. Work will be slow till February, so we can fly home to climb at will on the weekends. My company will even pay for some flights home.
Zac, go to California in the Routes DBase, and make an Event for this then I can get it added to the Front Page. You can also link all threads about this to that event by noting the # of the event you create, and editing the threads to include a link to that event # by scrolling down and entering in the event # in the correct field.

So can anyone tell me how bad a drive it is from San Diego to J-Tree? I understand that Palm Springs is a lot closer but the fares are high.

You're looking at about a two and a half hour drive. Roughly about 150 miles. Like any place around So. Ca. you want to leave early say five am to miss any traffic. I come from the north and it takes about an hour and a half. At the wrong time it takes over three hours.

Likely out. I'm going skiing at Jackson Hole that weekend! Woo Hoo!
Airport - If you have the money, fly into the Palm Springs airport. It's 40 miles to Joshua Tree (the town). Ontario airport is 90 miles. LAX is 144 miles. San Diego airport is 162 miles. Las Vegas airport is 233 miles. San Diego or LAX would be the worst for dealing with traffic. My friend who lives in Del Mar (just north of San Diego) told me it takes him 3 - 4 hours depending on traffic.
As a side note, check America West Airline's website for good deals on airfare to/from Palm Springs.

I'm definitely in, wouldn't miss it for the world. Besides it gives me a chance to hang out with a good friend one last time before he leaves the military and moves back home.

Try Ontario International Airport, Closer than San Diego, not too far from Palm Springs and it's near the I-10 Freeway, and fairly inexpensive! Best of luck!

O.K guys we have a problem... All group sites are booked for that weekend. So my only options are to keep calling for cancelations or make it so everyone is on thier own. Any ideas?
