I think Malcom's original suggestion is great, but we all agree it will likely require something like a week in advance stakeout.
If some few of us can dovetail an extended fall Canyonlands trip to fit that footprint, we'd be set.
Otherwise, what about reserve pay-site options? I'm not versed on them and doubt there are any down in the creek, but a buddy I know uses one, with tables & bathrooms, at the other end of the park, up by dead horse point. Isn't there a more established site just up on the rim? (white rim maybe, sounds windy though) Anybody know more?
And Ron is correct, we really need to try to make it happen down low.

Hey everyone, regarding the site for the party, traditionally the Saturday evening festivities are held at the end of The Bridger Jack road on the right side, just before a fence and just before the road starts curving around the mesa. There is an excellent flat spot of slickrock on the right, which makes for an easy clean up and good spot for a fire. We've had over 100 people at this spot before.Just an idea. The Dr.

That's a pretty good idea too DR.
From what you're saying, it sounds as though it is big enough that an advance occupation is maybe less an issue/need as well?

I like the idea of holding it where they do the splitter camp. That said, it sounds like we should have no problem finding a place in "The Creek". I'd prefer to be in/around where the rest of the party animals will be. Gotta keep this of legendary status.
Added to the list: Medium Sooze has also been at both sushifests (the facelift doesn't count). Looks like she and P. Envy will lose their status though as neither can attend. Oh well...

Heavy Duty needs to be there for some "Legendary" Status Nature.
Hope his Visa is good :)
He can do the Roman Candle Hula-Hoop and shoot fireworks at everyone while they run-away hahaha....
Good times, Good times.

Yo Mark...
Though I understand and appreciate the legendary parties Heavy Duty has instigated, we're simply not trying to compete with six turkeys buried in the ground and cooking until done. In fact, it is with great consideration, that our party begins the day after turkey day. Naw... in fact, we're of a legend that differs greatly than his. This (Indian Creek) is yet another stop on the SushiFest tour 2007. It's not about the party as much as it's about the raw fish in obscure and isolated places (WHAT?!?! raw fish in the desert?!?!?). Though certainly his presence would make the ICSF more legendary it is not required. The Doctor will back me up on this one I can be certain.
I've not seen Heavy Duty since I visited him in Squamish on my journey north to the Vampire Spires (he scored us a huge sack). I think about his last words to us were something along the lines of "Oh Man... I just ate a bunch of mushrooms, the X is hitting me pretty hard but the acid is starting to wear off".
He needs his Visa, dammit!
You in for sushi or what?
Peace,
Nature

Just got confirmation from Mike/Fred that he he's in. I'll pony up tomorrow. It's a long way with to go solo, considering gas, but I will if it comes to that.
