David_Parker Posted September 7, 2001 Posted September 7, 2001 I'm hoping to make it. If I do I'll bring my bongo drums, enter the diving contest, and climb Givler's because it's there. I would think fires would be allowed by then so can bring wood too. Any thoughts on the fire subject? It would be weird without a campfire at night. But who knows,really? Quote
dr._jay Posted September 7, 2001 Posted September 7, 2001 i've got a couple coleman stoves and lanterns, and can rally some tiki torches as well. how many will we need? how big is the campsite? Quote
two-flats-fer-sure Posted September 7, 2001 Posted September 7, 2001 Been followiing all of this online hoo-rah, soudns like it'll be fun to hangout that weekend. My tikki torches are in the shop, but I'll bring a bucket of a southern drink (where I learned of it, pause for a yee-haw) called Skip-and-go-naked.....of course only if it is a co-ed affair... Quote
chris_w Posted September 7, 2001 Posted September 7, 2001 Southern Drink!!!! I lost my supply chain 3 years ago when I moved to the west cost. I'll dust off my mason jar Quote
Beck Posted September 7, 2001 Author Posted September 7, 2001 You guys all rock!! We've got ehmmic boldly volunteering to coordinate all the goods, ehmmic will be getting in touch just to confirm the items you all will bring,I'll start compiling a list of people that get in on the free camping at the group site.

dynamite Posted September 8, 2001 Posted September 8, 2001 So Beck... there will be a generator after all? Does this mean we can plug in? I have a microphone, stand, and cord. If someone has an amp, I'll bring my voice. Quote
skitty Posted September 8, 2001 Posted September 8, 2001 I'm from Texas and well, I shouldn't admit this but, I knew how to Bar-B-Que before I could read. Is that useful? Quote
Beck Posted September 8, 2001 Author Posted September 8, 2001 Dynomite, dynamite! Although the generator was going to be used only for the slide show,there will be a battery powered lecturn,are you coming to the Fall Ropeup? We'll put you in the VIP area, that's for sure!!! Quote
eriknusanet Posted September 8, 2001 Posted September 8, 2001 I'll bring a large orange tarp (like 12 feet square) and a small folding table and some coffee making stuff. Quote
moonchild Posted September 9, 2001 Posted September 9, 2001 I'm new to this site and pretty much a low-timer with respects to climbing. Is this thing only for the self-professed climbing experts? Or are those who can't yet do the double-digit rated (ie. 5.10+) routes welcome? Is there going to be any climbing? Or just partying? I wonder if anyone would be interested in climbing with a determined low-timer. Also, are any females going or is it all guys? I'm a female, so just curious. Sounds like it could be something fun to do for a weekend, and I'm wanting to meet climbers so I can get the heck out on the rocks more often and get better, but just want to know what's expected, and what's welcome, etc. Oh, and being that profiles don't reveal ages, are you all a wide variety of ages? (Just curious.) Quote
dynamite Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Beck - I'm planning on being there, but might not be able to show up until Saturday. Moon...- climbing, yes. partying, yes. Female age 32, doesn't mind climbing with all levels as long as they know how to belay properly and safely, yes. Quote
moonchild Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Hey, thanks for the input, dynamite. Yeah, I know how to belay just fine. How, where, and when are people meeting up? Quote
Rafael_H Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Moon-climbing? Yes, if it's gonna be 82F under the sun... Quote
Dru Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 I nominate the Capt. to bring his beer drinking assistance device - I won't call it a beer bong becauise there is no smoking involved. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Beer guzzling is in order and I will bring the drinking funnel! Quote
Dru Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Maybe someone could organize a demo like the shoe and gear companies do, only it would be a cooking gear demo, and GSI would contribute some of those backcountry espresso makers to demo, and Coleman would demo their top of the line green 2-burner camp stoves? Quote
moonchild Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Are you serious? You're actually having a VIP group? Maybe this isn't quite my style. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 quote: Originally posted by moonchild: Are you serious? You're actually having a VIP group? Maybe this isn't quite my style. Moonchild there aint no such thang that I know of......... Quote
Beck Posted September 10, 2001 Author Posted September 10, 2001 Just to clarify, Moonchild and everyone else, Â There's a group CG that has 55 spaces m/l and a first come first serve site that has 175 spaces- people that are actually contributing something, and select invited guests, gets to stay at the group CG, every one else needs to secure their own spot at the regular Bridge Creek site or elsewheres. That's all that's meant by VIP area, there's no sense of elitism, it's just who's helping out gets to camp for free. Quote
moonchild Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 "There's a group CG that has 55 spaces m/l" So you're saying, Beck, that you've got almost all of the 55 spaces filled?! "people that are actually contributing something, and select invited guests, gets to stay at the group CG" What's left to contribute? Quote
Dru Posted September 10, 2001 Posted September 10, 2001 Hmmm camp for free in a site with 54 others and a bunch of drunken singers late into the night, or pay a small fee and camp in a quiter spot nearby... that's a tough call. Of course if you plan to be closin' down the party every night then the choice is simpler since you don't need to worry about the rowdies keeping you awake - you gonna be one of them (us?) Quote
Beck Posted September 11, 2001 Author Posted September 11, 2001 Peace, moonbeam, plenty of stuff left to do for the party if you want to help out, but, yes, most all of the spots are reserved already, we're using some for the logistics of this thing, more space for the event stuff, there's 30 people or so on the list and I'm reserving some in case say, Ed Viesturs, or Jim Nelson, or Viktor Kramer, or whoever, shows up, so yes, the group campgrounds just about full up. Â If anyone wants to help with Sunday Breakfast,let me know. If you can bring some big griddles and a bigass coffeepot, let me know. If you want to play music, let me know. Give a talk on the ethics of clean climbing, let me know. Be a safety during the day on Saturday, let me know. Â Quote
Beck Posted September 11, 2001 Author Posted September 11, 2001 Allright, Cavey, that'll put you in the VIP Lounge area- Hey everone, still looking for a couple people to cook pancakes Sunday morning, Can all the people that are bringing the colemans let me know if you can bring griddle plates, BIG pots for boiling water or mixing batter in, and a BIG country coffee cooker- The VIP area is filling up quick, just room for a few more folks who want to help out with Sunday Breakfast- Quote
RStewbone Posted September 13, 2001 Posted September 13, 2001 I can cook. Yes that is true - I can cook. My appliances are propane and I have a tower that allows you to run multi units. Are you set on this type of stuff? I have 2 tanks and all related items being a chef by profession. Would like to meet the people seen posting here. My heart goes out to the victims of the recent tragedy. Carter's computer is broken but I'll alert him in Granite Falls. Which campground is it? It must be the big one- I know which one I think. I'll get my own spot but would like to help. Quote
Beck Posted September 13, 2001 Author Posted September 13, 2001 Bring the cookers, Rstewbone... maybe some big griddles? We'll be doing group coffee Sat. morn and Pancakes Sunday, Bridge Creek Group site- or stay at the regular campground, your choice. Quote
