yep, wind is no suprise for JT
Hanger had to anchor me as he helped me over Moose Dog Tower
"life's a bitch.." or one over there. The wind there that day was 60 mph.
all of 115 lb me flapped in that wind.
Couldn't hear any calls/commands.
Wind whippin the tug commands to shit.
unbeleivable.
Sweet memorieeeeees'
la laaaaa la laaa
only 5 more days!!
so looking forward to just chill, enjoy my spririt in the land of extraordinary Energy and Memories.
My soul is coming to regenerate...
Our lifes will be different when we leave.
This time, I get to leave together with my love with me, to OUR HOME
here in Portland.
JT is OUR place.
just as it is for so many...

Hi Gang!
Yes, the last few days have been awfull windy at Josh. Yes, it's windy there a lot...the wind made it feel pretty chilly. Without it, it would have felt like summer.
ren and ski are already there!! I wish I had seen you guys this weekend, I was on Atlantis Wall/Lloyd's Rock all day Saturday, HV offwidth classics day on Sunday. FYI, I saw the Aquille de Joshua Tree on Saturday for the first time...if anyone has an itch to see it, I can take you there.
Nomad will have a posted sign about site numbers and the gathering. There will also be one at HV board and as you roll into Black Rock (my lazy butt still hasn't been there....don't know if there's a board, but I'll find somewhere to post-it near the entrance if not.)
See you all soon! ren, please pm me & lemme know where you're at k?

So bad news gang.....
I checked in on the keg since the sponsor fell through, and there is no way I can afford it on my budget. It's going to be BYOB. or wine or what ever.
sorry y'all, but that's just the way it goes

So far, 6 for dinner at Edchadas. I too plan to stay at the campfire on Saturday, so Jay, reservations are up to you man!
There should be enough room for everyone at Black Rock, I think. Just come there and we'll work it out. If there isn't, I have plenty of camping options for overflow, and we can get that together as necessary.
Wow. This thing is really happening. Can't wait...
See you all soon!

Alright, first off, I'm very disappointed about not having a keg. As I've said, I'm perfectly willing to chip in on a keg. I guess I can always buy a bunch of beer, but a keg is much more fun.
On a lighter note; my friend isn't going to be able to make it. It will just be me, and I'll be in to do a little climbing on Friday with Pheenixx. I don't have a cell anymore, so this will have to be coordinated well, but I will be driving my festive looking green truck with a red topper. Hard to miss.
In reply to: rendog and I will happily wish the rest of you a good time at Edchada's, but we'll be hangin' around our campfire.
Now to get my taxes done. :cry:

Yeah...too bad for no keg. I don't even drink and I'm happy to chip in. How much is a keg these daze, anyways?
I don't care what time the dinner reservations are for....just post it up and I'll be there.
But - I have 2 questions
1) Does anyone know the driving directions for that 3-hour route through the Mojave, from Las Vegas to JTree? I am looking on the stupid web sites, and all I find is routes that take 4 hours. I know there is a 3 hour one, because we drove it back in December.....I tried to find out, but the person never got back to me. I know that the Kelso station is pretty much the only sign of any human activity, save for the bleach fields(or whatever those are....)
2) On Sunday night, we are heading back to Las Vegas, and staying in a hotel, I suppose.....glitter, glamour and crassness galore! We want to be on the strip - any suggestions on which ones to stay at? Money is an issue, and I hope it is true that hotels in Vegas aren't expensive.....any idea what they cost? We want one of those disgusting theme-type glitz palaces I guess....definitly not wanting a Motel 6 type of experience.....In a small town I have no issue, but Las Vegas...um, no.
Thanks.

Hey all. I am kinda new at RC.com. I was pretty active on here about 2 years ago and may have chatted with a few of you. I was out in Wyoming. Well I just moved out to CA and would love to check out JTree. All my gear still remains in Wyoming so I may not be climbing unless I can get my hands on some gear. I have not climbed in a year or so so I may just belay this weekend.
So anyways. If anyone has any space anywhere please let me know. It will just be me and my truck and lots of beer. I know its short notice but if anyone could help out that would be great.
Take Care
Cheri
