Memorial Day Weekend
How about a rc.com get together at the gunks this spring for all us in the northeast. Its a bit chilly yet, but in a few months it'll be warming up and the gunks is a great place!

In that case if it is may or after, and there is anyone going from my area willing to pick up a hitch hiker then I am there.

Trapps tenting area is the traditional and closest campsite. Its actually on the preserve land and as close to the crags as you can get without needing a portaledge. The downside to 'Camp Slime' is that space is limited and campfires are not allowed.
There are other places such as the DEC multi-use area or commercial campsites but the tenting area is my preferred site.

I've heard a lot about the Gunks and would like to climb there. I work at a camp in Maine for the summers and will going through New York on my way there. I will probably be going up some time near the middle of May.

Why wait? This time of the year can be the best at the gunks, good friction and no crowds, besides its all south facing so you are in the sun, i am there this weekend, and also for the get together.

Late May would be great for Karen and I, as we're working in Maryland till then, so we can hit The Gunks "get-together" on the way to the one in SLC.

May 27th is Memorial Day, so a lot of people will probably have a three day weekend. How about planning it for May 25-27.

I think memorial day weekend would work great.The gunks will be jammed that weekend,but it is not a small area. April is less crowded. not sure on the status of camp slime (last year was supposed to be the last season), we could go to binky's creekview a private campground where they allow fires, rest rooms and showers. we should get a count in the next month or so and i can set it up with the camp sites.
