Wayno! Heidi & I think a box of those Polish sausages might be a complement to Mark's spaghetti dinner. We will talk with you about cost & payment.
Let's go climbing!
Breakfast is included, right?
Moose
Moosedrool: Coffee from Mark's big river-trip percolator, if you are desperate enough to drink "camp-coffee."

The theme for this group is the classic Pennsylvania Dutch saying " climbing (loving) don't last, cooking do."

Vegasclimber and Big Mike: My campsite is #58 and is near the Breadloaves. At this juncture, I'm probably going to be making the trip out solo...
Feel free to PM me about details; I'll be driving since my airplane is going to be in it's annual inspection at that time.

Marmots and ground squirrels.......Idaho bush meat at its finest. Recent studies show that 40% of Idahoans supplement their usual diet of Big Macs and Cheetos with bush meat and road kill.
Health officials in Idaho are giving free meat thermometers to grocery stores to distribute to their customers with instructions to cook bush meat to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. It is hoped this will ward off any possible Ebola outbreaks. Officials are quite happy with their initiative stating that the program has proved very effective with the 56% in Idaho who are literate.
Roadkill is preferable for most residents of the Gem State so that they can save there ammo for local Aryan Militia turkey shoots.

You're in luck.
I decided to cancel my
"Colicky Babies of the West" convention, scheduled for City of Rocks that same weekend.

drljefe! Geeze doede, that's too bad. I hope the other big events scheduled don't get cancelled, since they add considerably to the diversity we approve of.
So far it looks like the ADA (Attack Dogs of America), AWUSE (Assault Weapon Users & Shooters Enthusiasts) & CECM (Conservative Evangelical Christian Missionaries) groups will still be enjoying themselves at COR the same time we will be there. Good folks all, I have no doubt.

Here's an update from my end.
We are once again planning on City of Rocks, nights of Sunday June 21 - Thursday June 25, checkout Friday June 26. We have the same camp spot as last year, at Twin Sisters, reserved (Twin Sisters Group Camp).
Our campground is somewhat short on level tent spots, but has lots of parking, a Deluxe shitter, 2 picnic tables, & a nice firepit.
No cellphone or internet access, & no water, except what we bring in, & no garbage service.
Camping expenses. I won’t know exactly until I get a final head count by night, but I will be asking for about $17.00 per camper for 5 nights, or $3.50 per night.
We have attendees sponsoring dinners, with others adding on H'ordeuvres & fine beverages before, or with the meal. Donations are accepted to help defray expenses.
Currently we are thinking:
1. Roast Chicken, green salad, bread Sunday night Sponsored by Jim, Angela, Jack & Pat.
2. Riblet & salads, rice. Fritz, Heidi & helpers
3. Spaghetti, green salad, bread & likely grilled Italian sausage. Mark & helpers.
4. Wayno & Masha & helpers gourmet meal Carne Asada
5. Taco & Tamale night, Fritz, Heidi & helpers.
Firewood! Last year we had too much firewood. Heidi & I will bring a bunch of our “free” wood & 11worth has committed to bringing some wood too. Please don’t spend your hard-earned money on firewood----------instead----spend it on fine wines, beer, & great H’ordeuvres to share.
We'd love to see you again? Let me know your thoughts?
Notes:
1. The no small children & no pets policy worked so well, we are doing that again too.
2. If you plan on attending, post here if you want your name on ST as an attendee, or contact me, if you would like to be anonymous?
3. Campsite costs will be shared and donations accepted for food & all campers are expected to help with the work load.
4. We do welcome diversity & young & fun climbers!
Namaste,
Fritz/Ray

We have several of the above folks either staying in adjacent camps to the group camps or in town. However the adjacent camps are not available for the last night, so we will fill up the group camp a little more on Thursday.

There are likely nearby campsites available, but you need to get off your ass and reserve them in advance.
Here is a link: http://www.reserveamerica.com/ Look for City of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho. As of 5/10 there are zero out of 47 campspots left at City of Rocks for those dates.
The same search also show Castle Rocks State Park with 24 sites & 2 yurts available.
Their Smoky Mountain camp offers deluxe camping with showers, cell & internet connectivity at reasonable prices. On the map of Smoky Mt. camp, the blue sites are still available. However, the 4 at top right, 27-30 are not really suitable for tent camping, and the loop at top left with sites 34-38, is designed for horse campers with corrals full of horse-manure adjacent to each campsite.

I will be there, at least for the last two nights. Looking forward to seeing Jim, we climbed quite a bit together in 1973 and 1974. I booked two nights at Castle Rocks, Smokey Mountain.

C4/1971. Stop by our Twin Sisters group camp & meet the rest of us. Donini will likely be around after 6:00 PM.

Does anyone have an open parking spot at a campsite?
Thinking of joining the party from Tuesday (23rd) through Thursday night. I will stay in my vehicle, no tent spot or campsite space required.

Sorry to all potential late-comers, but the group camp is still full for the duration & the nearby camp folks are going to have to squeeze in with us, or camp elsewhere on Thursday night.
At this time, I think we are right at the campsite limit, but ok for Thursday night. Decent tent-sites may well be a problem, which is why we will have wine & beer to ease our pains.
On the more positive side!
After buying some more throw-away plates last week, I discovered the cache of paper plates & plastic utensils donated last year, that I took home. I think we have plenty of stuff to eat on & with, but we will also have a "river-trip" dishwashing system sponsored by Mark this year, if you want to eat off & with your own beloved plates & utensils.
Looking forward to seeing old friends & meeting new friends-----and even some climbing!
I can (still) hardly restrain myself!
