All the better to be around friends, Nature.
Locker, don't bail, you've got to bring Em and Blitzo...
...and yes, Piton Ron gives sound advice ;-)
-looking forward to seeing everyone- hi Mike :-) and meeting some new people too. It's gonna be fun!

I'm kind of a dessert guy. Is there gonna be cake and/or ice cream or something? Glad to see Gal and Mike on the list. This should be fun. I should even be able to climb a bit.

If we could get one of the pavilions in the main (picnic) area that would be awesome. I don't know if you have to reserve them or pay for them though. They didn't exist when I lived there.

Despite vicious rumors of alien-locker abduction, I'll be there, planning to ride with Ed Hartouni.
I may be a gimp (sprained ankle in a lead fall 2 days ago), prolly no climbing but I figure I can still chop, slice, dice and roll. And hop to the rocks as a dedicated belay slave.
Looking forward to seeing all, and especially Greg, Elizabeth, Mike and Gal!
em, kNOT bailing!!!!!

I love this quote that t*r posted today, "The quiet steady":
http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1892686/the-quiet-steady
Unfortunately, my quiet steady was sorely lacking last Sunday:
I was pushing my limits trying to lead a Tuolumne crack climb (Little Sheba, 5.10a) -- beta from a friend was "you can either get good pro or good jams, not both." I opted for good jams and tried to power through the crux -- the only pro at my face was profanity (friends who have climbed with me will understand this). I wasn't able to reach the next jam, my foot skated out and I fell about 15 feet. Good news: the (real) pro below me held and caught my fall. Bad news: I must've twisted my foot on something on the way down and immediately knew the ankle was toast. Butt-scootched down the slabs and hopped to the car on one foot with the help of several friends. Currently doing heavy-duty RICE in attempt to be ambulatory for Sushifest.
So much to learn. I was afraid of that lead. At least I'm glad I didn't chicken out before even trying.

I will be on the lowdown & slowdown, so you will have company!

Glad you're coming, Em. Sorry about your injury. Unfortunately, Elizabeth will not be able to make it. Nature, I could get there as early as Thursday early afternoon to try to secure a campsite (especially if I had somebody to climb with on Friday).

I would defer to Mike and Jaybro, but there’s a great free camp site 2.5 miles away (near, but not at Party Land) that would be a great site to host the dinner. That site could easily accommodate 6-7 tents. There are other sites within a short walking distance that could be used for setting up additional tents. Bathrooms and water are a mile and half away, but there is forest all around.
