I'll be in chrge of the boys, and I'm trying to get out climbing at Josh. Just found out that the boy scouts are going to be there, and going to be climbing. Some are freinds from church and its the boy scout troop associated with the cub scout troop my son started going to. I'll have to take my boys. I'll have to get a few thing together tonight, tommarrow night, Sat morning to pull it off. But, I may be able to swing it.  pray for me...
Damn dude, that sounds like me lately. I feel your pain.
Atleast you and the boys might be able to squeeze some climbing in though.

Climbing accidents happen every day you know, even to green people. I doubt you'd get in any trouble if something were to happen.
Just sayin

By Wednesday or so. If you can make it that would be great but don't go chaning plans or anything, it's just a hairbrained idea I had. If I stop down this way for the weekend I'll have saturday off, so the alternate plan is to head to WV for a three day weekend. Either way, climbing will be happening, it's just a matter of where.

I wouldn't be getting in to town until late friday anyway so thats no big deal. I could only do Sat. and Sun. though, got to be back in NJ on Monday morning to outfit the truck.

Don't knock it till you try it. I went to one awhile back and it was alright.
Nothing compared to the climbing mind you, but not a total waste of time.

Me too. A little warmer at about 73 but we had our pick of sunny and shady routes so it really couldn't have been any better.

Hmmm...not sure if a 12-hour drive (roundtrip) is worth 1.5 days of climbing. Too bad you can't do Monday.
Let's touch base on Wed and see where we're at. If it's raining down there on the weekend then we should cancel. If it isn't, then we gotta decide.

I'm not unemployed; I'm a writer. However, the rest of the statement is completely true.
