Moosedrool! Wells is one of the major schist-holes on earth. There are far better motels, eats, & houses of ill-repute, 50 miles west in Elko.
On a more serious note, I heard from Hardly-Visible = Kevin, that he is nursing his sick cat and won't be able to attend. He & Brokedown will both be grreatly missed.
Just looked at an updated weather report. Still zero chance of precip, but temps now in the low 80's for highs.

My truck is in the dealers shop for a recall and some other repairs. They gave me a free loaner with no mileage charges! See you Sunday.

booked a room in Wells for the Saturday night.
Be sure to get a hot cup of "Cat House Coffee" in the morning at Bella's. It's not bad.
I'm heading up on Wednesday morning. Shooting for Zion and Yellowstone.
Wishing I was up there tonight. Fond memories.

Don't let this thread fool you. Sure there has been a lot of talk about the fine wines and gourmet food that will be served up...BUT, I know this crowd, a bunch of self deprecating folks who bring out the fingerboards when the sun is over the yardarm...and train, train, train!

Mark Mason & I will be in camp by 2:00 PM or so. Setting up camp, setting a rope. Gotta get our pitch in before the party starts.
Here's this morning's U.S. Weather Service forecast for The City.

rev·el·ry
revəlrē/noun
lively and noisy festivities, especially when these involve drinking a large amount of alcohol.
It may be a premature decision on my part to attend next year.
Despite my poor reaction to the altitude two years ago, I had an enormous amount of fun, which is all I ask from climbing.
I really would have liked to hop on a bus and surprise you guys by hitching in from the nearest stop in Podunk, Novada, or some town on the Interstate in Idontno.
It used to be my modus operandi to drop in unannounced, presuming on my friends, who knew my ways and always made it worthwhile for me to be with them.
I'm certain that won't happen this year, but only because I'm short on the spondulix and that's just the way it so often goes.
You have your fun and games and fine wines. (Bingo or bango or bungle all sound good). Please think of me and raise a glass for me like you will for Skully.
MooseGun, let donini have a couple of leads when he's teamed with you--I think you can trust him. :0)
