Tom, I am so glad your coming out for this.
Neebee, awesome work.
Todd I'll be there Saturday to help set up. I'll bring a couple folding tables and a bunch of industrial strength garbage bags to control all the beer cans. And I'll make pancakes Saturday morning for anyone who wants them.
I'm hoping to get some climbing in while I'm there. Who is sticking around after the event?

Hey bidders, I have a Minolta Dimage slide scanner I would like to contribute to the auction but I can't find the power cord for it. Would this be a deal breaker for anyone? (DCIN 24v)

Lost Rock Area
This crag is near the Hospital in Joshua Tree. It is best accessed off of Hwy 62 from Sunkist Rd. (about 1 mile east of Hospital). Turn south on Sunkist from Hwy 62 and drive about a mile until you come to a fence (National Park boundry). Park here and hike straight south to the hillside with large split boulders at the base and a few slabs on the hillside. This is the Lost Rock area. Allow about 35 minutes for the approach. You can also get there from Section Six (Onaga Trail) in Joshua Tree off of Park Blvd. Drive up Park Blvd. for about one mile until you come to Onaga Trail (Section Six ) on your left (east). Drive east on this dirt road a couple of miles until it turns to a 4X4 road. Park here (If you don't have four-wheel-drive) and walk about one mile to the National Park boundry. If you have a 4X4 vehicle, drive another mile on this road until you come to the National Park boundry. Park and hike east ten minutes to a hillside with a slab and some large boulders at the base.
(176) Boing Loin (5.10)**
Six bolts to a bolted anchor on the east face of a beautiful boulder at the base of the hillside. This excellent climb traverses right to left on a white dike.
FA: Todd Gordon, Kelly Vaught, Frank Bentwood, Tucker Tech, Taylor Diehl, S.B., Andrew Jones
(177) Fried Monkey Butt (5.10-)*
Located on a very smooth slab just above Boing Loin on the hillside. Friction up a blank slippery slab past four bolts to cold shuts. Faces north.
FA: Todd Swain, Donette Swain FA: (Lead) Todd Gordon, Tucker Tech, Kelly Vaught, Tony Yeary, Steve Powell, Rebeca Russell
Nearby worthwhile climbs: There are five routes on the big slab above Boing Loin and Fried Monkey Butt (The Panorama Heights Slab). Some have bolts to anchors and could be considered sport climbs.

Gomez, it might be a good idea, but in the past 7 years on this gig called ST I've never seen the Bird do the Bird (a bitd dance) or dance at all. :)

The question should be " How many men would donate to dance with Aubrey" even though she isn't Canadian.
