k, as long as there is a resounding no, newcastle leads the pack right now.
As far as dimensions of a keg, college was less than a year ago so...I'd say about 2ft by about 1.5ft. weight, roughly 145lbs i think
What i might do is grab a trashcan, put it in that and pack ice around it, I want this thing COLD!
------
Hey, top roping, following, cleaning, I dunno, I wanna do as much as I can as safe as possible. Either way, as long as there is space for me, my suv, my dog and the keg...I'll be a happy climber!

Newcastle sounds good to me. I'm also willing to pitch in some $$$ for the keg.

sounds like you've got the chill factor under control nolagkc ~ niice idea on the trashcan - try to pick a clean one....? (or maybe I can now find use for that stick-clip holding out my glass)

I still can't believe a keg is that heavy, especially since I've carried so many by myself before.
Trach cans always work great. I remember driving out to a lake in the Black Hills once with two plastic garbage cans sitting upright in the back seat with a keg in each. I had a real problem driving since I didn't want to look away from the rearview.
Pheenixx, I tried to find an old photo of me from HS holding an empty keg over my head, but I figure this picture gives the right idea!

Well one of my "eye candy" friends and I may show up. She is taken though boys. The possibility exists for some Saturday night dinner appearance but most likely it will be a Sunday morning appearance. Where will all of the old school dirtbags be meeting Sun morning? I don't really want to hang out in Intersection Rock Visitor's Center too long, but it would be cool to meet some people I have talked to for like 2-3 years but never met.
Anyone that I know that wants to meet up give me a call as the weekend approaches.
And no sandbagging this year!! The only rock climbing I have done in the last 6 months was Lunar X, and two days at Josh. Still managing to get up 10a's though. Note, I said "managing".
909 800 5537
TRADitionally yours,
Cali Dirtbag

K, the newcastle is coming in today actually, they are putting one on hold for me for Friday night. The trick now will be keeping it cold through Friday night, into Saturday...anyone have a HUGE freezer in Southern California? But we're good to go basically, I just have to keep my roommates away from it Friday night...guess I'll be on guard duty that night.

Re: the tap, I mean really, who forgets a tap?!? In all seriousness yea I have one, but if anyone has one of those hooka style ones that would be shweet!
Question here regarding the actual climbing area people will be at/around: I understand most people are going to be at Black rock campground, how far into the park is that? What are the climbing areas like around there? I've been to Josh a few times but have only ever bouldered close to the west entrance.
I'll be arriving in a black grand cherokee, no plates, montrail sticker on the left side, big sloshing keg in the back...keep an eye out around 830/9am I'd imagine.

The keg rental place might give you a rubbermaid trashcan to keep the keg in, and we can just ice it down. Ice will stay cold for days in a cooler.

Black Rock campground does not connect to the rest of JTNP by internal roads. It is accessed from highway 62 from the town of Yucca Valley, by driving south on Palomar--I think.
To get to most of the climbing, it is necessary to drive back into Y.V. and to then proceed east to the normally used Joshua Tree entrance to the park.

So, y'all might as well just go to New Jack with me on Sunday. You're like half-way there anyway.

I suspect most folks would rather stay at Joshua Tree for Sunday and have access to real rock climbing. :lol:

Yep. No real rock climbing at NJC.

No bouldering either (as you'll see when the site starts working properly again).

At least 200 established problems, with most being one canyon over from where the sport climbs are, and I haven't actually visited that canyon. If you are interested, I can try to hook you up with some of the local boulderers.

I'm shocked. Haha.

Sounds good--I might have to visit there sometime. Not this weekend, though.
Something else weird is that I tried three time to post this--and had to change browsers to finally get it done. The site is acting a little wacky.
