This weekend will be ripe. Anybody wanna go? Most of my usuals will be in the Valley, no doubt. Anybody wanna go?
I think the shady spots will even be fair game. It should be a warm and perfect day.

I'm planning on heading to Castle Friday (tomorrow) morning for a bit of bouldering. I'll have a harness if you are looking for someone to hold the rope. Come say hello if you are around Parking Lot rock or CR proper and see a mid 30s guy with no pad and an old pair of Mythos.

Sully, let me talk to Stacy and see what day works out for her and John. I'll be in touch here.
I'm working tomorrow dFinnecy, but otherwise I'd be game. Me and 'A farewell to arms' got a score to settle. I tried to onsight that rig on lead (on gear), but flailed at the crux. Looks doable but boy is it a sloper-fest at the crux!!!

Sully, let's go Saturday. The Superbowl is Sunday and the guys I just talked to are football heads. The CANNOT miss it, an d I wanna see it too.
Anyway I just talked to Jeff (you met at my party) and he seems to be in for Saturday. He's going to try to contact Kenny and Clark (also at the party) to see if they wanna go.
My pregnant neighbor Wendy may also want to go. Let's do it! I'm thinking Mt Doom or the Platypus region. We'll call it on climbing day in the parking lot. Cal Ridge is always cool too.
Woot!
EDIT: Hey D, if you can make it Saturday, let me know what 'morning' means in terms of a time. I can get up there by 9am, but most of my crew is slow outta bed. But We can hook up with them later if you want an early start.
Keep me informed...

You do realize that getting on the bike and riding off into the brush would have solved the problem. Right?
No fatboy earwipe will ever chase you into the desert on foot? If he does, circle back to his car and leave him flatfooted.
The goal here is to be cool with local LEO. At one. NOT to run from them.
I want to seek ways to get them to appreciate our diligence in park maintenance, not run from them when they question us.
I have nothing to hide. I maye smoke some tobacco pipe in the park occassionally, but that is the extent of my lawlessness.
The rangers should employ our resources to identify the real troublemakers. But they aren't that smart yet...

11am tomorrow in the lot. I would meet you sooner and get some sh#t done but my buddy I have to pick up is in bad shape tonight. He'll be ready about 10ish. I will be in the lot at 11am.

There's a new Ranger in town. I will not mention his name.
I've already received one citation from him which I deserved and had no problem paying off ($200). This dude is probably the most hard-ass looking SOB you would dream of in a Ranger.
And yet, he's the nicest and most awesome Ranger I have ever encountered. He does his job well, issues tickets when he feels some tooling is required, but has a demeanor about him that too few Rangers have.
I watched him police an entire area with dogs included and all he did was talk to people. Very nicely, yet with the authority that comes with a uniform.
He looks mean. But he is also a climber and a very nice man. There was another occassion where he could have been justified in being a complete "Standish" as#@&%e with me, but he took me aside and talked to me and we parted ways friends once again. (The first time he cited me we were pretty cordial).
Anyway, there's a new breed of Ranger at CRSP. Let's all be cool to him, because he's been pretty cool to me.
Oh, and Sullly grew up with him when they were younger! Sullly, I told him about you just after you left when he came by my truck. He wanted to say Hi, but you had just left.
Cool guy.
It's funny because I feel like I let him down when he cited me and took me aside. He doesn't like tooling people, but he will do it if he has to.
The mark of a truly good LEO Ranger. I have a feeling he cruises this site too.
Cheers, dude! Keep up the good work.

No, ironically, beer in the lot is cool. I was busted last year for tresspasing. Kinda weak, but it was very clearly marked.

Where did you "trespass" in Castle Rock State Park? X-mas Tree Farm? Or the dreaded "Valley of Stone" (aka Lion Caves)? Don't know many areas to trespass in at Castle Rock.
