Flying to LA in the wee a.m. to see the folks and then will be over early friday. Never been down that way before and am pathetically out of shape after a PNW winter of computer work - could anyone point me in the direction of (I'm assuming) a formation that might harbor a some 5.7-5.9 [preferrably trad] lines so I can get the feel of the place before being completely spanked on Saturday? Thanks.
P.S. I'll eat whatever you've got on the sushi front - you guys were magnificent at the first one...!

A good place for moderates on the way in to Hidden Valley is a cliff called Hemingway Buttress, on your right.
Even before that is trashcan rock; although I don't know if it's been called that for years, also on the right.
It is very casual and has some easy stuff on the backside...

Best of wishes to the one and only Tarbuster. I hope this is the climber's social event of the decade and that Roy can finally get some answers. I am bumming out heavily that I can't get away now. Cheers to all!

Looking forward to seeing many old friends and ST'ers I haven't the pleasure of meeting.
The guidebooks I'm bringing for the auction will be signed by as many locals (and "historical figures/big names") as possible.

Soo my partners bailed on me for this weekend, and it's looking like I won't make it out. I won't come out there and NOT climb. That's just plain ridiculous.
Thanks for hosting, Todd, and health to you, Tarbuster.

So out of the blue I get a call from Jim Dutzi! We haven't spoken in a decade or more, yet he rings me up... He's apparently in Temecula, and he got all the details and directions on getting to Todd's place. Says he'll be there for sure. Add one more to the guest list!

Is that a good idea? Seems like you'd want to somehow appreciate the value, not depreciate it by having a bunch of low lifes sign it.
You're not really going to let KP sign something.
Are you???

Just arrived in beautiful downtown Yucca Valley, hanging at the library and using their computer terminal. I'm free for modest adventures Friday, and Saturday morning - I have a work teleconference meeting Saturday afternoon. (Hence staying at a motel - work expense.) I can be reached (I think) at (760) 228-1773, room 217, after about 8:30 tonight, or in the morning.
Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you, meeting a bunch more.
Edit: I'll be online for another 15 minutes tonight. Just saw Todd's note - will be there Friday after 5 to help as needed. Or earlier, if desired.
