rrradam/fiend: I could do that if you wanted fiend, PM me on it. Some people are asking for dates so how about we make it a choice between the last two weekends in May, at present the 4th week seems favoured unless someone has objections to post. If that is agreed then we can check on the Binky's/Trapps camping option. PS The 3rd weekend is a Canadian long weekend so will likely be fairly busy also.

rradam: I've PM'ed him and can give him a ride to the Gunks....for that matter I could give him a ride to SLC, but they really be pissed at me at work the next day. Oh well, I'll just have to carry on as weekend warrior, not road warrior.

Memorial Day weekend is the best for me. I may be stopping at the PA get together on my way there and that will probably be set up for the third weekend in May. I am trying to take full advantage of my time between school and work. [ This Message was edited by: kaptk on 2002-02-25 23:22 ]

I think that Memoerial day weekend will work the best for all. If you want to email me or pm with a count, I can go from there with a campground and number of sites. So let me know how many in your party and if you want a site. I think its 15 a nite. Camp slime is always free if you can get in,it could be crowded that weekend.

Here is the camping information and directions. Just call and make your reservations. phone: (845) 658-9142 web: www.creekviewcampgrounds.com Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the best climbing on the east coast. Come stay with us and enjoy our climber-friendly atmosphere. We have lots of campsites, and a large open field for group camping. We have trailer sites with full hookups. You can rent a trailer by the day, week, or month. Our men's and women's rooms have great hot showers. $15.00 per campsite (2 people), and for each additional person, it is $7.00 . Individual campers on the open field will pay just $7.00 . Our future plans include building a campstore and rock gym for those rainy days. And when you are feeling sore, enjoy a soak in the 6-person jacuzzi which will soon be up and running.

Camping problem. We may be limited to "camp Slime" The ex-creekview manager has left and says the campgrounds future is not certain. I get no answer on the phone. AMC is supposed open a new campground, but that has been in the works for a couple years and is having zoning problems. I will update as i know more.

Are there going to be any boulders/crashpads at the gunks? I'd love to get some bouldering in.

Hey Fiend, I'll be there with my crashpad, although I'll probably be off doing some trad, anyone is welcome to use it.

I've been looking into this whole thing, and there is a good possibility that I'll be able to go. I'll have to arrange everything for me and my mom, and I'll have to pay all expenses myself... but I think it'd be worth it. I've got a few questions: 1) Is there a certain time or anything that everyone is going to meet? I'd hate to drive five hours (and thirteen minutes!) and be all alone. 2) ACCOMODATIONS-- Is there somewhere we can park our van and just sleep in there? (Remember, I'm going to have to pay for any of this, so I don't have much to work with.) If not, where can I find camping information? 3) GEAR-- I only have shoes and a harness. Will I be able to use someone's ropes, etc? Hope I can make it... if not, have fun, guys!! -jul-

You can climb with Karen, Mark, and I, I have all the gear, and even an extra harness for you mom. And I'm sure any other climber will let you climb with them. If they don't, I'll sic 'fiend' on them. rrrADAM

fiend- remember what they say about bouldering in the gunks....like jerking off in a hore house.. On the camping and gear issue, there will be plenty of gear to share, I have extras of everything. camp slime is it. it is a first come first serve basis. as we get closer to the date we can figure out whos going to be there first and set a couple tents up. I have two and will pitch both. As for sleeping in cars and vans, it is against the rules, but we have car camped many times in the trapps parking lot. as long as you have nothing set up outside the vehicle.

Last time I was there... All the pull out parking was posted 1 hour only, and they were ticketing. Parking was either at the lot past the bridge, or befor the hairpin at the visitors center. Seems like finding a campsite upon arrival is gonna suck. rrrADAM

Sound cool. After a day of climbing we can all get sloppy at the bars!!! If anyone needs a partner that weekend, let me know. I'm pretty local. [ This Message was edited by: melonhead on 2002-03-28 05:56 ]
