David_Parker Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Minx, I brought my son last year but am not this year, although it was my ex-wife that put the kabosh on it, not me. You can bring him if you want and I'll say it's open to anyone who wants to bring a kid at their own discretion. I hope you can make it. You can do smith anytime! If people show up Thursday night or before I do Friday and someone comes over (from Rocking Horse ranch) to see what's going on, let them know it is a climbers/skiiers weekend event and "Lloyd" knows all about it. (He's the owner of the property.) Just be courteous as they watch over the place and are just doing their job! There are 2 coleman lanterns in the cabin, but we should use our own gas. We don't need garbage cans, just bags. See Kurts list for more stuff. A stereo would be cool, but there is no electricity. So large boom box might work. See ya soon! Dave
John Frieh Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Keg is in my possession; someone please bring a tap (see TG's post for specifics).
EWolfe Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Keg is in my possession; someone please bring a tap (see TG's post for specifics). That should keep you off the sauce!
mattp Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 My buddy KJ just phoned to say he skied at Washington Pass yesterday and had a good time so he wants to go back this weekend. We didn't talk very long, so I didn't get the specifics, but he said the snow was good on both the hairpin gully and on the Blue Lake side of the ridge.
DougE Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 I have a tap and CO2 tank. Youll have to arrange pick up as I won't be there untill late Sat nite
AlpineK Posted April 29, 2004 Author Posted April 29, 2004 If nobody else does I'll pick up the tap. One thing I forgot to mention is that y'all should bring as much water as you can. I believe there's no source on the property.
whirlwind Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 i just thought of something.. naked snow angels, with a keg around it shouldn't be too hard to perswade some "happy" camper into making some
mattp Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Good idea there, Whirlwind, but there won't be any snow anywhere near the keg. It's going to be dry and sunny over there in Mazama, and the snow will be up on the pass.
mattp Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 DIRECTIONS COPIED FROM OTHER THREAD Heading east from Wa pass, from the turn off to Mazama it is approx 4.5 miles to the gate on the left(north) side. It is just before Rocking Horse Ranch and about 3/4 miles before Weeman bridge where Hwy 20 crosses the Methow river. There is a PVC arch and a metal gate which will be open as soon as the first person arrives. The driveway winds across a field a short ways and takes a few minor turns in the open trees. All campers take a left at the porta potty, to find the camping area. Be conscious of vehicle parking so there is plenty of room for tents. You can have a fire there as well, but the main party is at the cabin. If it gets crowded, we may have to put cars out in the field at the entrance and walk in. Straight ahead from the porta potty is a pan abode cabin with a large deck. Behind the cabin is a loop trail that will take you to the river after crossing a few overflow streams that will probably be flowing at this time of year. I have ordered and paid for the porta potty. Please use it for #2 only. Piss in the woods. It would be great if a few of us could bring firewood. I will bring a chain saw for cutting up dead fall and may recruit people to help get some in the wood shed. I always try to do that for the owners. (I do not own this place, but have permission and so I always try to leave it better than I found it!) There is a hand pump well, but the water is kinda rusty. Bring your own drinking water. You can also get it from the river, but it's a little bit of a hike.
EWolfe Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 BTW, I have a 1000 watt inverter in my van, so I could easily run slideshow or stereo from there
mattp Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 That would be a TERRIBLE idea. We want to bond with nature. -Just kidding. What are you thinking? Of course!
EWolfe Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 i can bring my sterio should I? How many watts per channel is the amp?
EWolfe Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Bonding with nature is overrated. Exactly. Besides, isn't that what the slogfest the following day is about?
whirlwind Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 u know i'm not sure but i think the max per speaker is like 200 or 250 it sound pretty good not a lot of bass but good for jam band tunes and stuff like that
David_Parker Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 If everyone or at least a few of us stops along the pass on the way over and puts a bunch of snow in their cooler or a garbage bag, we can put the keg in a tub or garbage can and keep snow around it. We just get more the next day when we go back up for skiing.
DougE Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Just transfered the tap and CO2 tank to Kurt! The beer is on its's way!
eternalX Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 This bone graft isn't healing as fast as i had hoped. i'm out
