dude ! i'm so there - let me see if i can get the days off from work - i think i can...
finger of fate ? sun devil chimney ? i've been staring at the titan for years now, waiting to get on that beast...
we could shoot low and just go for the kingfisher - still would be fun as sh#t...in any case they are two days of fix and fire at pmb speed, plus the walk to and from...

Hey man,
We ought to think about an advanced party to secure a site for the 'Fest. I remember Turkey day can be a bit crowded at the Creek.
I'd be into meeting someone there on the weekend before, I gotta work on Mon & Tues, though. If we could get someone to squat on a site for a couple days.....

I've got a friend showing up at the creek on the 21st. He's not a ST poster, but probably could hold down the site if I asked him. Thoughts?

i *could* drive down the friday night the weekend before and see if it is available...or maybe the sunday before the week would be better ?

B makes an interesting point there...but i think part of this was to experience the madness of thanksgiving at the creek...
i'd be happy anywhere there's rocks to climb and fish to eat...

Man, I'd love to go, but my 17 year old (always kind of an "indoor girl") does not want to go camping. I remember a Thanksgiving Day at Indian Creek back in 1990. Clean Dan Grandusky organized it. Bunch of folks from Denver/Boulder and SLC brought various parts of the dinner. It snowed Wednesday night into Thursday, but we still had a great time.

It's certainly not out of the question to consider going elsewhere. Problem is much of the crowd wouldn't be into it. I like to have people standing around the sushibar.
Radical: excellent job working on your wife. I'm sure she understands. And what the Doctor said is true - there is only a handful of hardcore sushifesters left (actaully, Ron O should be in the last, maybe a few others). It'll be interesting to see who the last one standing is (even money on The Doctor).
One person has already sent me funds. I think I already stated that means "IT's ON!". I wish I could make a career out of this - though that fleet of trawlers is a pretty sweet deal (fish is free to me).
On squatting a site: Rich is in K-Town so he's only 3 hours away or so. I like the idea very much of nabbing the site early - like the weekend before.

By T-day I'd recommend going to a low elevation like the creek.
That upper tier cragging can get pretty chilly. Even down low the mornings will be quite cold.
