How come it doesn't say anywhere online that it is closed?
I think the Stanton Ranger District may be having computer issues, due to the flooding.

Personally, I think it's the beginning of the countdown to Armageddon!

alright...check it out guys...

take a look at the percent chance of rain (30, 50, 50)
that means you have the following chance it wont rain on those consecutive days (70, 50, 50)





the glass is half full





i've gone and done outdoor activities with 80-90 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, and not a single drop fell.

quit listening to those brainless meteorologists that cant predict with any accuracy more than 6 hours into the future.

go and have fun! just bring a canoe for those flooded roads!

did someone say we would be "turned away", are the popo's going to not let us through the roads, or thru the tunnel? What is going on, I"m in S.Indiana and the weather ain't bad.

OK!!! This is it! I'm am not logging on till AFTER the RRG trip so here goes:

Orgo: I will PM you w/ directions to my house.

Everyone else: Call me if you need a ride. Orgo will be meeting me at my house Friday and we will be going to a party Friday NIGHT so we won't leave till later. If anyone needs a ride AND wants to go to a party call please. You can get my number from Organic. He has it. I need to also find out when the camp grounds close around there so I can time the drive just right. Thank you.

And who cares if it rains. Are you peeps going to melt? No. Can you climb when it stops raining and the stones dry? Yes. If we all get caught in a flood, will it be a nice adventure? Yes.

If it rains in the gorge you will be fugged. Mud, humidity, bugs, and approaches will make you unhappy. If you are hard, you should be ok. Poosies should stay home.

ok, organic and mowz, greenspace and I are planning on leaving indy tomorrow around 6 in the afternoon. I take it that your party is in chicago so we wont be driving up there for that, if its anywhere south of Indy im down. I think that we will be staying at miquels, if I cant talk to you before then just look for the black montero sport with the red arcterix sticker on the rear window. My cell # is 423-503-6629 and ill have it with me all the time so just call me whenever.
As for the rain and this closure crap, im with mowz, if all that we hear is true its just a bump in our way to climbing and in the end it will make it more fun.
Anyways, hope to see you guys there.

ok, as a closure to this post; mowz, organic, greenspace and I headed down to the RRG this weekend. The conditions were variying at best. We were, wet and muddy, hot and sweaty, and other times cool and perfect, but we still managed to send a good number of routes and also got to meet a lot of cool people. Thanx guys for a great weekend. Next trip is rocktober fest.

Miguel's rules! It was a great Labor Day weekend could only have been better if it rained less. Thanks for everything guys!

Thanks greenspace for for vegging(literally) with me so I wasn't all alone.
Thanks sportster for driving us everywhere and for not dropping me!
Thanks mowz for letting me come along and for helping keep me awake on the drive home.

Yo, Organic. I had a great time too. Rocktober fest will be a blast although I have not been able to find official dates for it, I'm sure it is around the time you said.
and that was a hard Thump when you took that 10footer, Thanks for a great weekend dudes!!!

Awe, the Red was a great time. Thanx to all the peeps that we climbed with: Organic, Sportster, and Greenspace. Extra shout outs to Greenspace and Sportster for teaching me how to sport. Extra shout outs to Organic for pushing me to higher limits. And a much needed shout out to Miguel's Pizza for the great grub.

Rocktoberfest is Oct. 11/12. Check out the thread titled summer parties.

Greenspace, Coors does not suck.

The weather was good at times but the rain only made it better cuz then we had something to complain about and to wash us when we couldn't shower.

Sportster, let me and Organic know if you can get us those free passes and did you get that girls #? LOL. J/k.

Orgo, VE on Wed still on?

Ericka, VE on Wed?

Ok, I'm MOWZ and I'm out like a fat kid in dodge ball.

Laters.

Yikes well Oct. 11/12 that is the same weekend as the Chicago Marathon so you can pretty much count greenspace out and since my girlfriend is running in it you can "probably" count me out but we will see!!

Glad you guys had a great time, despite all the rain. Rocktoberfest is October 11-12 and will be really fun. Everyone should try to make it to the Red. There will be a lot going on that weekend.

Who were the guys I met Friday night? I hope you guys had a good time and got lots of climbing in too.

I will be at VE on WED around 2-ish, 3-ish. Still going to be there Organic?

Thanx Greenspace. I would love it. I do hope you and Organic can make it to RRG for Rockcoberfest. Orgo, bring the wife.

Sportster and Greenspace: How's school? Hahaha. You have school and I don't ( to be read in a sing-song way).

J/k.
