Thanks Beth but not necessary. Todd's the one who LIVES kindness, if we were all a bit more like him the world would be a better place.

As a reminder it's free National Park Week people! For those of you without a pass you can........get a free pass this weekend! Check it out, for activities......or for places to avoid on Saturday before the Fest.

jefe............meet someone with a pass outside the gate on Friday. We want your dough for raffles but the free weekend doesn't start 'til the 21st?

Maybe climbing at Indian Cove or Section 6? Or, I know, volunteering with the clean up crew at Todd's on Friday! (that wasn't too subtle was it?)

Hey Susan,

It looks like Sam's Market in town is going to donate some ice. I'll get with Jinder tomorrow and have more details. We will need someone to pick it up though.

American Cheese

Read the package... it probably says "prepasturized American cheese food product."

Thanks RLF, that's great. Between Circle K and Sams we should have plenty of ice for the beer, food and extra coolers for people to drop their 6'ers or 12's into!

Someone has to do this. Might as well be me.

Park at Echo Cove Parking Area,
Walk to backside, look for mob scene

Might better be:

Park at the lot
before the Echo Cove Parking Area,
There will be a mob scene at this larger lot.

Find one or two friends and
go off to climb somewhere.

Hidden Valley is actually large enough for this crowd.
And the walk to Echo Cove isn't half bad. Long enough for at least two lies


and a half truth.

Parking.......come early, car pool, leave car at campsite, motel,......if you can. Park on side roads. My neighbor to the SE is a ....(up Quail Haven) so be forewarned.....I might put up signs to keep away. If you plan to spend the night on the property, early planning can get the best car or tent bivy sites....ask me for suggestions if you cannot find the bivy situation you wish or like. Don't drink and drive;.....and don't drink and smash into parked cars or my house or party guests. Try to leave the dogs at home. Kids can attend if you wish;...but they may be bored with a bunch of adults who may or may not be acting adult-like.....that's your call. My son Beck can handle weird adults,...but the twins will be at their grandparents. If you wish to donate anything to the buy-it-now table;....cool;......it's sort of fun to see, sell, donate, and purchase used climbing stuff;.........we will put a bro-deal price on it and hopefully unload it to the climbing community;........
We will have nametags just for fun;.......so the people you insult on line can find you and beat your ass like you deserve.......Bring you guidebooks and yosemite climber and stonemaster books and stick the books up in the grills of the old geezers to sign, so you can sell them to Chessler in 10 years for big bucks..........bring the cameras to get pics of guys like Dave Evans (FA Monkey on my Back), Blitzo and Tucker Tech;....and if you wish to bring something else...bring more beer;...we will have coolers of ice to put your donated beer in.
ABSOLUTED NO UNDERAGE DRINKING...........and please stick around and support the band, the gathering of the tribe, the lovely evening, and don't be lite and whimp out early;......plan to stick around until at least midnite, or don't even call yourself a climber.......(pad people/boulder climbers will be excused at 9 PM after the slideshow;....).....see you in a few

I will be in town Friday morning and staying overnight a block from Sam's if you need me to pick up ice either Friday or Saturday I'd be glad to.

Cooking is going well. Does anyone have a Plastic Sparkletts Water bottle they could contribute to collect the donations for dinner? We will break it open to get the money, so sorry can't return it.


Menu:

Appetizers:

Guacamole
Ceviche
Mini Chicken Tacos

Entrees:

White Bean and Pork Chile with tortillas
Tortilla Soup
Chicken Spinach Enchiladas in Green Sauce
Spinach Enchiladas Vegetarian
Salad Vegetarian
Mexican Shredded Beef Salad
Rice Vegetarian

Anyone that wants to bring food/appetizers it would be greatly appreciated, but you better pre make it. No kitchen access. Let me know asap, 760-749-8774.

What an event!!!!

Don't worry Todd I'm not leaving the party early :DDD At least not while there's musica.
