The poll has spoken... Gathering rescheduled for 10/22-23 (very soon!) @ Queen Creek.
*Where to camp/BS? The spot where we camped and enjoyed the yummy catered BBQ for the last QC gathering is inaccessible to 2WD now, since the road has caved in.
*Where to climb? Speaking of 4WD, the Homestead is a viable and most recommended option!
Yeah, this info might be helpful :)

Unfortunately, I'm 4x4-less at the moment. The Epic Mobile is still in the shop (going on 4 months).
I can probably come out to play one day (Sat or Sun), but not both. The wife has my ballz swimming in formaldehyde in a mason jar on top of the fridge, so I can't tell her I need to climb both days, otherwise she'll smash the jar and feed them to the cats. Yes, the blissful give and take of marriage -- you too can become a slave.

A higher profile 2WD should be able to make it as well. :) Its a little bit of a drop off but its just a dirt bypass path. No real rocks etc. in the way

We made it through in a 2wd cherokee, any 2wd truck or suv (or subaru outback) should not have problems. Use caution if you're going to try to take a normal car through, it may take a beating.

Hey all,
Can't wait till this weekend!! Only concern is this: Will there be sport climbers out there and the only reason I ask is because I truly suck at bouldering. I am kina hoping that some folks bring their harnesses. Also, is the party near where flapper fest is held? I will be the one on the quad as my bald tires will disallow my truck from making it back where the party is.
Carry On,
Jeff Raymond

I think the latest offical thread is this one:
http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=99368
There have been so many. There will be sport and trad climbers there. I am bringing enough gear to do sport or top rope.
Edit: If you need a ride I have a 4x4 liberty with tow hooks/skid plates and plenty of room.
When are you heading out there?

I've got some easy 40 pointers for you to try. Don't worry, the Rabbit will not be able to out crank you since she recently injured her wrist.

Sorry all I can't make it this weekend as I have other obligations. Too bad about the original date.
I had thought the Phlapper Fest was the following weekend on Halloween. It's too bad I won't make this one, because last year was a blast.
oh well. Have fun all!

So I've got to work all weekend (same thing I do every weekend, Pinky... try to take over the world,) but I might be able to be talked into coming out for a cold beer or two Saturday night.
Where's base camp?

Weather is supposed to be low to mid 60's at night and low to mid 80's this weekend in Superior, AZ. Sounds like it is shaping up to be a great time for all the nice people in attendance.

Well, I headed up there today with the rug rat. Went up to the area where we met last gathering and found a few cars, but nobody in sight. So, I took the kid over to the Mine area a TR'd a few climbs. Didn't see a soul all day except for a couple of guys in a pickup.
Hil! Sorry I can't make it out there tomorrow. :-( Hope you guys have some fun!
