catbirdseat Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Vantage is a great place for kids if you just go to The Feathers. There is almost no rock fall there and there are easy routes the kids can do and have fun on, like Where the Sidewalk Ends, 5.1, the easiest route at the Coulee.

David_Parker Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I can't come. Ex-wife wouldn't give me the kid for "her" weekend. Anyone who doesn't go due to iffy weather, I'd be up for impromptu kids rope up next weekend. We don't need to reserve a campground. Let me know.

Billygoat Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 WTF is up with the weather!  We're going to come and hope it won't materialize. Prolly be in late tonight or first thing in the morning. My son would say "fuck-it, it's all good". (well, if he was older...) Worth a try I say  Sorry you can't make it Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted September 17, 2004 Author Share Posted September 17, 2004 I have the group site at Chatter Creek for $150 wether I show up or not. That's where I'll be. If you want to suck some people over to Vantage,you have the right. Have a good time. Leavenworth could suck but most likely it will be fine with scattered sowers. There are a million things to do with kids in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 That just ain’t right. It’s like a nickel made a wood.  The Kid’s rope up was sunny and warm. Too bad Meredith got poked in the eye with a sharp stick and only four families showed up and I had to run to the Emergency room before I collected from everybody. But hey, I hope all of you who said you’d come AND DIDN'T don’t expect to be taken seriously in the future. YOU ARE FLAKES! I have your names. Pay up or don’t post without expect flaming replies about how flaky you are. Can you tell I just had three glasses of red wine after driving for two hours after watching my 6 year old getting 2 stitches in her face less than ½ inch from her eye? Notice the bruising? If that flying stick (that was thrown by one brother at another brother) would have been just a little higher, we’d be lookin at a one-eyed girl. THAT SUCKS! So do people who say they’re going climbing with you and bail because it’s raining in Seattle. I’d still rather be climbing with the family with the kid that threw the stick. At least that kid will probably loose his bicycle privileges until Mer’s stitches are out. The rest of you are typical CC.COMers. All post, no climbing. Whew! I feel better now.  Billygoat, Snowbyrd, Fatswaller, and I were the only families camping out. Another couple families came and climbed too. Thank you all for showing up. We had a great time and even Meredith was talking excitedly about it when we got home. The weather cooperated quite well with a little rain here and there. We climbed at playground point Sat and Clamshell Cave Sun. Everybody climbed well and some climbed twice as well. Some drank a bit and others drank a lot. We heard Fatswaller tell it like it is and Snowbyrd tell it like it should be. Billygoat and family made it from Martha’s vineyard in the sound. I brought two extras just cuz I am not stressed out enough lately. We ate one pig, two fish, half a cow and lots of barley and malt. Thanks to Snowbyrd for bringing the great beer. Micah is a great kid. Good work! Good times had with the rest of you as well! And don’t worry about Meredith. She’s tough. Just be aware that next year, she’ll be packin a pellet gun.

Billygoat Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Whew! Glad you got that off your chest Keith.  Overall it was a blast! The weather was rather good and the group was quite copasetic. We enjoyed some great climbs and good conversation. There was some sugar fueled shenanigans that ultimately ended in a trip to the hospital, but it sounds like it won't negatively affect Meredith's enjoyment of boys in woods.  Thanks Bug, for putting this one together I hope Meredith recovers well and it was good to watch Olivia work through the physical and mental cruxes of Noisy Oyster Thanks Fats for showing us around and for the laughs. Melissa is Jed was diggin' your boys Nina, great to meet you and Michah. I was enjoying your enthusiam for climbing. That will take you places. Viktor, if you are reading this, good to see you and your family on Saturday and thanks for the great guide book you have put out This version is the best even if it has a picture of Dave Bale on the cover  To those who did not make it: We missed you But hey, we will be doing it again...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
