Don't forget to check out remnants of Ogden's bad ole days, the underground opium den and brothels in downtown. For more info check with Jello. He knows them all.

The city has control over the Ogden hub so posting up this latest event is up to them.
We have it posted on our own site at:

Thanks Stitch!
I have been posting on climbing forums all day! (Never knew there were so many!)
Hey Everyone,
Don't be afraid to pass this on!
We still would like to have more Art, Literature, and Photography submissions for the contests!

Anastasia,
Is there a schedule (times for individual events) posted anywhere yet?
Does this mean that you're going to have to move to Utah? ;) Welcome, if it does.
Enjoy!

Speaking of ice in Ogden. Back in '55, a buddy and me got stuck in Ogden in August. Hotter than a two dollar pistol. Finally caught a scabby train pointed toward Reno. Had one old wooden passenger car with straight up wooden frame seats. Had a big wooden barrel of ice at the end of the car. As the ice melted, we had drinking water. Dang train stopped at every borax mine.
We were starved and all we had was two bottles of whiskey. At one stop, my buddy dashed up the hill to get us some grub. Idiot came back with two lemon meringue pies. Nothing else. Between the train lurching to a stop every few minutes and the pie and whiskey, I wound up green sick in Reno. Never been back to Ogden.

Isn't Puking Green In Reno a route at Donner?
I'm calling Ouch on a phony claim though. The railroad wasn't completed until 1869, fourteen years later.

Yup...
I will be moving to Utah in the beginning of April.
RIght now I am only here for the week to help out with the festival.
I will be back in California by Tuesday to hang with the parents before going on a local road trip to say goodbye to all of California's beauty.
Beyond that, I will be moving in with Devaki in Ogden, Utah.
What can I say about living with a climbing partner, friend, a fellow female and a decently clean housemate?
I am a very happy camper.

I am asking...
Now Fattrad, Jello says you are just joking... Yet...
I personally can help you with that. Just note that it is going to be a whole lot of work. Especially since it involves making you die and all.
Since I am feeling pretty lazy right now, is it possible to worry about it another time?
