You know the Utah meeting is for everyone so you could take a little road trip with a bunch of WA climbers and make this Utah meeting even more successful!!!! We're trying to get as many people as possible to show up from every state and country. So who ever reads this post:
YOU ARE ALL INVITED!!!!!!!!!!!

I think an East Coast gathering would be awesome! And being in Va, I think WVA would be great. I would Love to make it to Utah, However I, Like many others i am sure, cannot afford to take enough time off work to head out west. ( I know I am the companys B*tch, But if the bank says yes to this bank thing, Im gonna have a FEW more bills to pay (hope hope hope)) Name a date and im all over it. Im sure I can round up a few others for it as well.....
ANyone else?

I'd probably go if it's not in June (I'm going to the Utah one in June). I've been wanting to check out Seneca.

Hey Folks: WVa is not that hot in August. Nights are cool, air clean and the rock is everywhere. There's also Nelson's Rock Preserve near Seneca. Lots of great camping in the Monohgahela Nat. Forest, even better Mnt. biking and some of the best white water kayaking in the East. Do I sound like a tourist salesman for the place. Well I love it there. If someone decides to organize it I'll help with WVa info...camping, directions, cabins and other misc. things. Let me know. Later, Charlie

Spring break for me is last week in March. But I am also unemployed right now, and only have class on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I could probably make it most anytime, as long as I remain jobless!!
I would be glad to pick up anyone between Little Rock and WVA that needs a ride, too!
Thirteen weeks of being paid to play...ain't life grand?!?!!? (On week 14, the ESD starts asking you for actual PROOF of your job contacts!)

Does You know if your area is near a river (to kayak)

Hey all: So U-Stu you 're the owner. I heard somebody bought it. I use to hike there before the trails (did you build them). I know a bunch of the MD Trail club members from the '70's. They use to climb all over that rock. I'm interested in the trip but Ionly top rope. If y'all lead I'll follow. FWIW W.Va. can still be cold/snowy in March. Hell I've skied there in April, nearer Canaan Valley. It's higher than Seneca. I think April-May would have better weather. I'm agreeable to March if that suits everyone. Bring your long johns tho'.

Hey : stardust - there's also Seneca Creek that runs into the North Fork of the S. Branch of the Potomac. This is a class III river, 6 miles of continuous WW. The North Fork that Stu mentioned has different sections. The best WW would be Hopeville canyon , downstream (N) of Seneca Rocks, cl. III. A lot of the N. Fork is cl. I-II. What level of WW do you paddle?
U.Stu- I don't remember any trails there in the 70's. We just bushwacked between the crags. When did you buy the rock? If no one else comes down, I'll still come and climb with you. I can climb fairly well but am clueless on leading/pro/trad. If you want to do top rope or teach me some trad then we can make it work. Charlie

Ok folks Here's the current tally:
West Virginia seems to be in the lead and since U-Stu has a place, cabins and the crag here. I think it's a no brainer but still open for suggestions
Zlippper- early March, end of March, 2nd week of April
Mountainrat- no date
Ironmask- any date (easy I like that)
Uncle Stu- no real job, any date (another easy one)
climbchick-any date but June
Greyghost-Near Seneca but no date
rrradam-late April
Karen-late April
arrockgirl- unemployed any Date but late March is break (from what you don't have a job)
stardust44-late march but may go to Utah but may not , but may?????? a little whishy washy stardust;-)
Me- I'm flexible but I do have a job. guess i'm bringing the beer!
Keep sending your best times for a trip. As of now I would say it's between March and April. If anyone else wants to keep tally feel free to take it away. Charlie
