There's a kiosk at Uber Falls, and the country store at the bottom of the hill going to The Gunks. We could meet there.
Also, Marie (alpinebunny) was going to make reservations as per her thread in this Forum.

Camp slime is open,dogs are allowed. I will be there thurs night late(5/23) look for a green tent. Uber Falls sounds like the meeting place each morning for anyone staying else where. Not too early though. 8 am works for me.Plus there is a place to post notes for any late risers where we are all climbing at. I climb in a green Paul Smiths College Hockey hat. I have a tattoo on my right arm of a cliff scene with a blue cam in it. Cant wait, it'll be a blast. Any of the Canadians coming down want to meet in Rochester and car pool or follow its cool. Just remember its not the QEW and 72mph will get you pulled over. I love the Q, last weekend it was 85 mph all the way.

You guys going to be there all weekend? I think I have convinced my girlfriend that we should show up for one day. I've been meaning to try and kill myself on the Dangler
(I'd actually be just as happy to climb some garbage route to the GT Ledge or the top, and rig shots from there... should be a zoo on Memorial Day weekend, but at least some of the hardmen should be out, too.)
If UberFall each morning around 8am is solid, I shall look forward to meeting you fine folks. Any distinguishing markings or such that folks plan to wear? I'll probably bring my cowboy hat (for the sun, y'know).

We (my mom and I, and possible one more) will be arriving somewhere between noon and 3:00 on Saturday (I don't plan very well). Frankly, we have no idea whatsoever what we're doing or where we're going, so some sort of rendezvous later in the day would be helpful. We've done no planning except that we'll be leaving on Saturday morning, so our schedule is fairly flexible.
Just keep us updated...
-Jules

I'm showing up Friday night. I'll check Slime to see if there is room. If not, we'll try to find some place to camp out. It may be some car-camping for a night.
I'm coming up from Northern Jersey so anyone needing a ride, let me know. I have room for 2 more people.

I've put together a simple roster list at:
NeoGecko: Gunks Gathering Roster
It's a portion of code I'm using for another project but I thought it might be worth it to use for this gathering. It's not a permission list. It doesn't dictate who can and cannot go, but it would give us all a general idea of how many people to expect.
If it is taken seriously, I will run a report with the status and post the results a day before the event.

Do we have a set time and place to meet?
I have a feeling that its going to be a maddhouse and it might be good to have some way for us all to find each other. Meeting at the deli at 9:00 is good but if someone is late they might miss out. Maby a secondary meeting place might be good, like the kiosk on undercliff road to look for messages and the uberfall wich is just a hundred yards away. Just hope everyone knows that these two places are THE meeting place to find a partner at the gunks. I dont have any RC,COM stickers but if there were some around it might be good too.

i think a morning meeting at 8-830 in the uber falls at kiosk is a good place. plus anyone can leave a note there pointing people in the directions where everyone is climbing. 9 am is a late start, for me. i like early, but to each there own. see you all down there.
