JosephH Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Check back here tomorrow night or call the park before heading out Tuesday, July 1st - but that's the tentative scheduled opening date. There is a remote, but unlikely, possibility that could get pushed out until Wednesday, July 2nd, but I don't expect that happening at this time. Quote
denalidave Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Yippee Kiaya, Thanks for all your effort at Beacon Joseph. Quote
billcoe Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Yippee Kiaya, Thanks for all your effort at Beacon Joseph. Ditto on that for sure. PS, my phone sucks: short version, give Kyle a call. Edited June 30, 2008 by billcoe Quote
denalidave Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Joseph, what was the final verdict on the birds anyway? Quote
kevbone Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Joseph, what was the final verdict on the birds anyway? That is a loaded question. Quote
JosephH Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Sorry I didn't include that info in my post I was dashing around last night without much time. Kevin, not sure what's so loaded about the question at all. The Peregrines were successful this year and had either one or two chicks - can't quite tell which yet. Quote
billcoe Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 ....what was the final verdict on the birds anyway? Did I miss the trial? Quote
kevbone Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 It is a loaded question because the birds would be successful even if the rock did not close (to just climbers) Therefore the closure is a joke. So depending on who you ask……the “verdict” on the birds is still out……. Either way thanks for working on it JH…… Quote
geoff Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 What if JH installed some of those bird spikes? It's referred to as a safe deterrent. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of crappy rock for them to nest on in the Gorge. Maybe we can find them a home at The Zone. Quote

JosephH Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 You'd think at some point you'd get past it all Kevin. Absolutely no aspect of the closure is a joke and no one wants it open year round more than I do - that's why I do this stuff. Quote
kevbone Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 You'd think at some point you'd get past it all Kevin. I don’t exactly loose sleep over it. Absolutely no aspect of the closure is a joke Uh…..we have gone over it before……closing the rock to just climbers is the joke. The birds themselves are not a joke…..how the controlling parties (government) govern the closures is foolhardy. IMO. Quote
JosephH Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 Well, as it turns out I'm going to have to eat crow, or in this case Peregrine and say that I've jumped the gun with this opening notice. As it stands today there is still formal cross-departmental verification, approval, and scheduling to be completed so we won't be opening tomorrow the 1st and everyone involved is scrambling to sort out final approvals and work schedules. I will keep you posted when it all gets completed and we are firm for opening. This is entirely my fault and not WDFW or BRSP's. It is largely a matter of sighting of the fledges having taken place on Friday afternoon when it was too late for both agencies to coordinate to complete and coordinate work at their ends given their current workloads. Again, my apologies for jumping the gun and I will keep you advised the minute I know we have a firm opening. Quote
denalidave Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Dooohhhh, guess it's clipping bolts at the zone for tomorrow then. Thanks for letting us know. Quote
