I'm probably in. Not reserving a campsite or anything. The times I went, you didn't really need to, and that was on President's Day, too.

Camping Update:
Wally Barker has started a climber's hostel. The land is graded only now. Nothing permanent constructed as of November 1st. It is up the street from Crossroads Cafe so it's closer than Indian Cave. It is on 18 acres of land and set low so no neighbors can see anything. This would be a great option for us to avoid paying for camping. Let's consider it as it's a huge plot of land.
I would ask everyone to pitch in a dollar or two per night as this is going to be the New Era of Joshua Tree since Todd Gordon got married recently.
Please visit the website
www.womenclimb.com
and scroll down the left side and click on JT Climber's Ranch.
We are really lucky to have such a generous man as Wally to start this up (more to come in Vegas, Gunks, Boulder...)
TRADitionally yours,
Cali Dirtbag

Sounds like a good excuse for a road trip. If someone could give me directions that would be great. It is getting too cold to climb at Stone Hill. If anyone needs a or wants to go I got room.

I think the best way to go with camping will to stay with the sites we can reserve. I don't know how much room the new climbing hostle has but I have a feeling it will be full along with the first come sites in the park. I know it's a little more money but I don't want people to show up and risk having to camp in the outback.
I think we still need a couple of sites, so like I said if your traveling you might want to reserve a site to ensure you have a place to stay

I'm in...
Probably bring at least one newbie with me.
I've been jonesing for Josh, so this sounds really good.
As a last chance camping option, some of us could camp out at one of the backcountry boards ( I know a kick a$s spot) and meet somewhere in the morning.

Ah, to add one more bit of info to the travel discussion... Vegas airport to the Twentynine Palms entrance road can be driven in 2.5 hours if you take the back-roads. It's a bit under 200 miles, and is actually a very fun drive at night.
As a completely unrelated, useless piece of information, the light beam coming out of the top of the Luxor hotel can be seen from 60 miles away.
And there is a small chance I might be back in. The skiing adventure is starting to look shakey, in which case I may have to venture west yet again.

Right on I'd like to see you there Tradguy.
And for your $100 followup question. What is the wattage of the lamp shooting from the top of the Luxor?

I believe the Luxor's beam is 1.2 million watts? Boy, just think what a headlamp that would be! Break out the shades, for sure.
I am still plaaning on making the gathering, but will most likely be there sometime early in the week and thru the weekend. Planning on staying at Hidden Valley if I can get a spot, but will look you all up on the weekend.

I'm new on this system so I don't know if I've ever met any of you, but I can make it for the weekend of the 17th. My dad has a house in 29 Palms so I'll probably just stay there, not that it'd be much better than camping. He just uses one small ceramic heater for the whole place.

I'll see you folks there. I'm heading out of Seattle for a reprieve from the abysmal gray wetness. I should be in Jtree shortly after the 1st, unless I stop in Mecca.
If anybody wants to join me on my roadtrip, or needs to be picked up on the way, pm me.
I'll be climbing Jtree and Hueco Jan - mid Feb. I'm planning a minimum of a month total roadtrip time, max 6-weeks.
I'm on vacation, super flexible with my schedule and I'm totally open to any suggestions. So give me a shout if my galavanting even remotely overlaps with what-ever schemes you have or are plotting.

Just learned this last weekend that I have access to a "cabin" on 5 acres in 29 Palms.
The cabin is not in too good of shape, but it can keep the wind and rain off of you and there is plenty of land to camp and party on if we need the extra space for the gathering.
If anyone thinks they are going to need to use this please email me @ spice.e@usa.net
Thanx!

O.K. so I don't want anyone feeling sorry for themself's if they can't make it. Any true climbing bum would make it. That's right, quit your jobs, say to hell with my friends, you don't need any of that crap. There are rocks to climb, and in J-tree there are alot of rocks.
I'm only saying this beacuse I'm kinda jobless and my friends won't talk to me cause I keep blowing them off for climbing. What can I say I don't want to be the only looser . Being a climbing bum rules. Thank God my parents don't5 kick me out .
Don't drive angry

Unless I have a job by then (yeah right)I'm in!!
If I followed the thread correctly, there are already several campsites resevered in Indian Cove area and no action required on my part.
Would love to carpool with folks from the S.D. area. PM as the dates get closer.
Enigma - we might finally have a chance to climb together
