Now that you mention it Skibbi, where will we be meeting? Since I am not an "Ironbutter" and can't leave Oregun until the day before the gathering I will be trying to hook up on the second day of the event. I figure I'll just start making laps on your great roads with my scooter from RMNP on the north to Durango on the south. I'll drive until I find the row of walkers parked along side the road. I will bring my walker it will be the one with the bright green tennis balls on the front legs.

In reply to: :cry: Charlie and Frank are going to be in an area close to me and I can't come. :-( Please tell me you 2 will stay a little longer and climb with me. :D I won't crash the party, although I'm tempted. Sounds like lots of cool people are going to be around. A little warning about Frank. . .he thinks every route is "GREAT!!!!!" And I think that's GREAT!!!
You lucky folks in Colorado just take things so much for granite. Man cant wait to be out there with all you great folks. Cologman and I will be hanging for a week so .... lets do some climbing!

In reply to: There's been talk about Turkey Rocks - good camping, local, old skewl. It'll probably be less crowded than Eldo. And S. Platte isn't too far away in case anyone wants to rocket power the walkers and jet off to another area.
Please Please let it be Turkey! Granite and Crack climbing, yea baby. Also the elevation will give me a chance to acclimate before I tackle some nice Alpine routes in Rocky Mountain with Cologman.

Hey Front Rangers under the age of 50 - Are we going to crash this thing or what?! At the very least we should hide behind boulders and take pictures.

In reply to: It's anybody's guess who of the CC will be at the OGG at TR. This is a pretty independent group. HOWEVER, it will be at Turkey Rocks. If the climbing there isn't adequate, there's the SPLATTE and other outlying areas. I don't know if I can go anymore. My new roommate guessed I was 37. :roll:
its okay skibs, as i was goofing off on a friend's longboard skateboard this weekend on mainstreet, a young kid walked by with his mom and said, "what's that lady doing on a skateboard?, She's too old".
:)
that makes me older :lol:

Just throwing this out there so no one else worries about it 8^) . I'll provide the makings for fire over the weekend. I produce a preponderance of firewood so this will be a good chance to burn a bit up. Frank this is a heads up, one of our chores before we leave on our marathon is to load up with wood, no big deal though. :shock:

(Just giving you some crap. Actually, that's a good idea. Ever consider being a part-time, permanent forest service employee on fire patrol?)

chop chop, stack stack ... reminds me of my day alone at the Abbott Hut in Canada. Nothing like a camp fire or a wood stove in the mountains. AAHHH

I'm thinking 11 mile cause that is where we will be climbing. Then again I don't know anything about the campgrounds or the area.

Looks like Turkey Rocks climbing has been foiled again. or does the Colorado Contingent still plan to do some climbing there?

From a logistics stand point 11 Mile makes the most sense. It does offer more than just the Canyon if you want to drive a bit and the camping is the best available. Skibs you ought to check on Goup Site there.

In reply to: I think that's going to be a better choice, then if folks want to head up to Turkey it's not that far away. So, 11-mile it is. Then we can join zozo in the Pounderthon in Colorado Springs.
Yahoo I'll be passing by 9 mile to 10 mile to .... 11 mile Just 5 days to go from the start of the big odyssey to the Rocky Mountains.
