Danyelle,
Give me a call when you get a chance on Wensday if you can, I may be in J-Tree on Thursday. Don't worry we can work things out to get you out here. I can pick you up anytime and we'll find you a ride to San Diego for Sunday if that's what needs to happen.
How about it people, is there anyone out there that can give her a ride to the SD airport on Sunday the 19th?
Merry X-Mass everyone
-Zac

Hey Gang, Happy Holidays;
First off, this is not an official statement from the Joshua Tree National Park Service. Nor do I represent them. The following statement is being made by Joe Citizen who just happens to live in Joshua Tree and work on JOSAR (Joshua Tree Search And Rescue).
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about Hidden Valley campground and what’s up with New Years Eve this year. The NPS Rangers are going to have a VERY STRONG PRESENCE around Hidden Valley. Last years party was just too large and a tad out of control. The Park Service’s stance is that Hidden Valley campground does not belong to us climbers, but belongs to the public in general. Translated, our behaviour may be acceptable to us, but not Bob and Ethel, the retired couple from Nebraska. I am not saying in any way that all climbers are out of control. So, please, have a wonderful time climbing and enjoying the park, just be courteous of others around you!
The JT Climbers ranch is up and running. You are welcome to stay there. At the moment, there is no water due to multiple breaks in the pipe. We hope to have it back up and running in a week or so. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Wally Barker (the owner of the ranch) has graciously allowed us to stay there when ever we please. Show your appreciation and respect by cleaning up after yourself and others. Wally and I spent the entire month of August this summer digging the whole and working get the ranch useable for the season.
Have a safe, and happy New Years! If you see a white Suburban with a Yellow light bar, and signs that say “Search And Rescue” cruising around, feel free to stop us and say hi, or ask for help if you need it. WE ARE NOT Law Enforcement, we are group of volunteers. You can also spot team members by looking for the very bright yellow/gold shirts that say Joshua Tree Search And Rescue!
Happy Holidays and climb safe!
Robert Fonda

Thanks for the heads up Robert, but this post is'nt about New Years. There is another post on New Year's. I'll be out there so I'll watch myself.

Zac, it's set!!! Travel plans are paid and I'm JT bound with Sauron.
My itinerary remains as I recently posted.
Dom's is as follows:
Southwest Airlines Jan 15
Depart AUS 11:35am
Arrive ONT 2:35pm
Southwest Airlines Jan 19
Depart ONT 3:55pm
Arrive AUS 10:50pm
Anyone you know that might be able to give us seperate rides the day of departure might be best since I'm not leaving till much later and want to try and climb till afternoon on the 19th. If not I suppose I can cut my trip short, if I must, **sniff, sniff**
About campsites...I'd like to camp with Dom as well, possibly in same tent (more details about that desire later), but definately same site. And I know Dom has met RRadam and Karen so if they would like to camp/climb with us that would be wonderful.

pbcowboy...
OUCH. Just realized (as I'm trying to book a room), that the Ouray Ice Festival is the same weekend. Hummm.... ice, rock?, ice, rock?, ice, rock?
Damn, I hate these dilemmas!
Looks like I might have to catch the next J-tree gathering. I'll certainly be jealous thinking of y'all in sunny socal as I'm freezing my booty off (well, you might be, too!).
Perhaps I'll have a chance to meet/climb with some of you in Moab this spring.
Have a great time.
Cheers,
-kelly.

HEY Everyone! I haven't been too vocal lately, but, yes I am still going to be at J-tree. I am also very glad to hear there are no poisonous creatures to worry about. I seem to attrack the poisonous ones.
Can't wait to climb on real rock again. The winter weather finally hit us. I love the sun! See you all very soon. Take care and Happy New Year.

Sauron, I have to go right by ONT on my way to and from JT, I don't see why I couldn't give you a ride back on Sunday. PM and we can set it up.
and I don't require heavenly gifts.

Zac,
Two more climbers joing me. My friend Mike, (he's not on RC.com) will be coming and Josh from Boulder Colorado will be arriving to join us on Thurs.
I've lost you number but please give me a call so we can talk campsights. We will be driving ourselves in, decided to split a rental car and currently Dominic has an offer to return to the airport but a back-up plan wouldn't hurt just in case. Thanks so much for all your help. Hope everyone has a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm so excited...can't wait to meet everyone.
Danyelle

Hey all, the more I read about this JTree trip, the more i'm interested. I know it's only a couple of weeks away, but does anyone still have room? I live and work in Ontario. hell, is there even room for one more body ? (who also probably needs to borrow a sleeping bag) I know that's a lot to ask, but hey, I figured I could at least try, it's JTREE!

I WILL be there. I cannot tell from the post on page 6 if anyone has open space at their site. DOES anyone have space for me and my car? I will probably be at hidden valley before the gathering.

I,m not sure how many people are accually showing up. But if everyone shows up that says they are we don't have thatb many spots. As of now there are alot of open spots at IC and I'm planning on getting more as needed when people arive.
I cannot garuntee spaces for anyone other than a couple of people comming from out of state and my friends. So If your not sure if you have a place to throw down you might want to reserve a space. Also be ready to have to get your own when you get there or park your car out of the park.

Alright I reserved a site so I will be sure to have a place for my car and maybe a friends car. Still don't know how many will be coming besides me. I am more than willing to share some of my site, which I asked to be as close to Group Site 10 as possible.
Looking forward to some fun, maybe a jaunt over to Corral Wall if it is cold, where there are a few warmer fun climbs or whatever people are up for.
See ya soon

OK, here's the deal...
As many of you know, Karen and I are on a job at a Nuke in Maryland... My company pays for me to fly home with pay once a month to keep me happy. But they just paid for me to go home and climb J-Tree over New Year's, a tradition for Karen and I, so that's less than 3 weeks from this event.
I'm gonna talk to the "suits and ties" about going home earlier to make this event. Send good vibes our way !!!
