You can have my place and Ron's, if Randi still wants to do Das Boot, but there can only be 12 total through the Subway and that includes the 6 that can go through Das Boot with Randi. Hank I keep moving around because he is a nice guy, but he needs to be on a Saturday canyon.Quote:

Given our late arrival in Zion, we have no plans for Saturday. I will not know about my time off request until the last minute. I know that we will make the Saturday potluck and will be bringing soup. I'm focused on attending and completing Birch on Sunday with Tom. :nod:
I vote that we all chip in and cover the cost of the porto-potty. :five: I will bring the donation can. :mrgreen:Quote:

I'm committed to Das Boot with Randi's group (if there is a group)... Can we play it by ear? If Das Boot is cancelled, is there another canyon we could try?
Actually, there isn't a group for Das Boot anymore.Quote:

I've got a long day planned for Friday, and I don't want the stress of trying to rush through Das Boot to catch up with Bo's group so we can all do Subway together. Besides, without a navigator, I would most likely get the group lost anyhow. My navigator bailed early on....
I have no plan for Sunday if anybody wants to make one!

PS: Deeps, what's your name?

Totally understand about Das Boot. I've never done the Subway, so there's no let down. I'm looking forward to it.
Sounds good. I think chipping in for a portopotty is probably a good idea too. Any idea of the cost?Quote:

Last two questions are more for everyone who's planning to attend the potluck. First, are we doing this straight pot luck or is this a bring your own meat for the grill and a side dish to share kind of thing? And second who is planning to attend?
:popcorn:
I don't know how many Ash trees are around here, but is this an issue?Quote:

I am not guiding anyone on these trips, I merely see it as an event for people with like minded interest and skills to get together and do some canyons.
If anyone on one of my trips views this as a classroom or a guided trip, please have your name removed from the list.
Having said that I would be glad to share thoughts and ideas once in the canyons. I look forward to seeing different techniques and approaches to solving problems in the canyons. First and foremost, we must be safe.
I think this will be a fun event and hope I don't offend someone but I see these requirements as necessary, so everyone in the canyons has a great time.
I could possibly be available in the Cedar City area a day or 2 before the fest to assist anyone in there rappelling skills.
Hey Shaun, sorry about that. I didn't see your name on the Das Boot list, and when all the other attendee's switched trips - I was alone!Quote:

We'd have to try and work with Bo's group to facilitate a meet up time so we could continue down Subway with the rest of the group.
I should know this, but I usually get my permits on line.
Can we get a permit on Friday morning for a Saturday canyon?
~Randi
As long as I have something to do on Saturday, I'm cool.
I've never gotten into the Subway before, so either route is cool. If it's Das Boot, great. My last name is Russell, so the other route is interesting too. I'll go where the group goes.
Canyongirl isn't coming. She is my wife and I knocked her up.Quote:
