Hey all you West Coaster (and anyone else)
I am in the process of palnning my vacation right now, and it tentitavley looks liek I will be down in OR in teh middle of Aug (the week of the 11th) and was thinking of trying to get a group together at Smith.
I have never been, but I know of a group of local Portlanders who go quite often (Brogan, T, and others) what do you think.
This is a thoguth in the process...what say you all. And any others who want to come check it out.
The Russman

Do I ever complain????Not I....
I will be as quiet as a mouse...
ask anyone in the Joshua Tree RC.com group...
they'll vouch for me, at how quiet I am.
I am not a complainer!! Just a little bit squeeky...
like a mouse...quiet as a mouse.

Count me in. It's not that far from my home in Vancouver BC. Sounds like you guys had a blast on your last trip. If any one needs a ride and is between Van and Oregan let me know.

that is what I thought. I knew I could count on Brog and T. I know Brog like lives out there in the summer
My in-laws want to go camping in sisters for teh week...and since I will not be able to make it to SLC, I thought I am close enough to take a couple days and go to Smith. I figured that would spark a jump
As soon as I know more for sure as far as dates, I will throw them down here. I am trying to get teh week of Aug 11-17 off and we can go from there. as far as what days.
And Brogan, I live in teh desert year round. 90 degrees will be cold compared to what I am used to at that time of the year I might bring the lil_cwboy out for a day too, will jsut have to see

Well, i know that I will be down in Smith in the end of April or so, but perhaps again in Aug too.
Not sure if I can make it yet, but sure sounds like fun.
When you guys get to the planning stage let me know what the plan is and I will try to make it out.

The camping is right nexxt to the rock but there is no Fires and you can't camp next to your car. There is a safeway 3 miles up the road and the crowds are minimal in Aug. In the middle of the week it will be a ghost town, everyone stays away in the heat. My house is 35 miles away on the Dechutes river. My neighbor rents his house out to my friends and family.

Ok, I'm officialy thinking about it. I have to run these things by the boss though and that means I might have to sacrifice my Devils tower trip but sofar I havent found anyone to take me on that anyway, and now that everyone knows that I have to check with the boss, I'll have to come up with a really good excuse to post here if I get shot down. Example excuse #1: Ahh man tha flights are full I can't get out there. I'll work on some better ones, I got all kinds of time.
