Dave if I have the guts to rappel I am pretty sure you can handle it after seeing you drop down three fingers of death and those acid drops that made my stomach want to puke! :lol8: What were your words of advice "just don't look".Quote:

The Hill (Crybaby Hill) getting up to Gooseberry is VERY ROUGH, as in 2WD forgetaboutit, 4WD high clearance OK but rough. Not a good place for the whole gang to stay.Quote:

Chere I will put you on the next opening or you can join one of the groups for sunday trips.
There are 3 of us: my wife Robin, my son Aaron and me. You are very kind to propose taking your slots in Mystery on Saturday. I have no problem doing Mystery on Saturday. Let's see if any other options show up and give Hank an option to see if there is something else he could go on. Thanks!Quote:

You and your group are on Mystery for Saturday :five: :2thumbs:
I have to drive home Sunday. So guess it is a bike trip for me, see you guys at night. :2thumbs: Make sure I am on the friday and saturday night dinner. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Consider signing up for Keyhole on Sunday. I am not sure but I assume they will do that one before Pine Creek. It's the easiest in the park and is done quick so you will have time to drive home after.
Trip Organizers: Bo, Pubalz (Dave), Trackrunner (Shawn)
Pine Creek and Keyhole on Sunday - 12 limit
4. Robin
5. Aaron
6. Death Cricket
7.
8. Alison
9. Pubalz daughter
10. The King (Dave)
11. Paul (Ststephen)
12.
Also I am waiting to hear from Acca and Beach as to what day the plan to bike. Their canyons will then be open for that bike day, but that would not work for you since you are biking too, but it will for someone else. Hank would get the first option of canyon choices since I moved him. But since he is my buddy I know he will forgive me.. right Hank . :mrgreen:
OK sign me up tenative, timing is everything... like I said I don't mind entertaining myself on a bike.
I want to hike Angel's landing while I am there. It is all good!
If or when a harder canyon opens up for Saturday, I will put Hank there since he has done SAR and has canyon experience and I will put you on Subway. You are number one on the waiting list for Subway on Saturday.
:nod:
Tanya - you are such a sweetheart! Thank you! :hail2thechief:
Now I understand why everyone wants to hang with you.
Chere - hope you can fit in half day with us in Keyhole, should be lots of fun!
What time on Sun morning would you start the trip and approximately what time would we be done?
I have a babysitter on the clock, time is money. Just have to make sure I can afford it.
You'll have to ask the organizers: Bo, Pubalz (Dave) TrackRunner I've never done it and it will be up to them to set the meeting time.Quote:

Welllllllllll!!!!!! You better dig up a bag of marbles in the playground! :nod: You're gonna be doing Yankee Doodle on sunday with Andy, Marina and I. It's about time you took up a safe activity for a day (and forever) and leave behind that risky sport of MB'ing for a day! You'll be so relieved to find out how fun "gravity" can be! :haha:Quote:

I'm an early bird...haven't talked with Shaun, and Dave, but I'd like to get an "O" dark thirty driving start (5:30-6AM. Large group in Subway having a blast?! Maybe 7-10 hours car to car to car (shuttle, etc.)......????? So if we get a 7-7:30 hiking start...hmmmm? Maybe on your way back to SLC by 3-4PM? What? Maybe 5 hours to SLC?....9PM at home? Could actually be done much more expediently though! Hope you can make it!Quote:

Your Subway hike is Saturday so I don't think the end time is a concern - as long as they make party time that night. :lol8: It's Sunday trips that many worry about what time they will be done so that they can head home.
If those on your Pine Creek/Keyhole Trip only wanted to Keyhole, what time would they be done about? :popcorn:
Would you do Keyhole First?
Saturday...
Does anyone want to lead Orderville on Saturday maybe. That would open up a Saturday trip to more Newbies, who might then also take advantage of some of the Sunday trips we have going. For those that have never done a canyon at all - they would love doing Orderville, then out the Zion Narrows.
The bikers that are going would love this!
PS... Thanks Paul :five:
your the kind of leader I like... someone willing to kick me in the balls to get the job done. :lol8: if you can give me a call tomorrow about the details. :2thumbs:Quote:

Oops! :oops: Sorry for confusion? Anyway....Since Keyhole and Pine Creek in one day is REALLY pushing human limits.....how bout a 2 AM start in Keyhole? Should get er done by daybreak? Keyhole takes a large group 2.56483 Hours or if we travel fast we could be done in 1.387465 hours. Waddya say Blueeyessmiling! Please join us! :2thumbs: Pine Creek can take from 45 min. to 9 hours????? Big group? Estimate 4.9873021121 Hours? Come on along!Quote:

AS much as I'd love to do Pinecreek on Sunday, could there be a possibility of doing Keyhole first? That way Chere and I could get on the road before noon? or who knows...maybe it will be such an awesome day, we decide to go on to do PC? Any which way it goes, I know it will be a great time. :2thumbs:
Bo if I am going to be there at 2AM. You had better too! I get kinda cranky if I am stood up at that hour of the morning. :lol8:
You bringing coffee?
Your scientific approach to trip planning and precision of estimation is inspiring. Should I bring my trusty circular slide rule to help us fine tune our ETA? Let's see, total weight of participants, divided by the width of the rope, plus the reciprocal of the mean shoe size times...Quote:

Hopefully I'll be able to come to the next Bogleyfest.
Hey Matt! Did you notice your Saturday trip is already full? Can he grab his own permit for it? I added him to your Sunday trip though.Quote:

Off to Zion in a couple of hours!
YAY!
Can you put me on the Yankee Doodle list?
Well my wife and I just found out she is pregnant. We weren't expecting to have it take on the first try. So she is out of Englestead and yankee doodle combo.
I am still going please leave my name on the list. I am not that cool of a husband. :haha:
Was over there the other day. Gnats really bad. Going to be super hot. Hope it is pouring rain for you.Quote:

Important! We are just a bunch of friends meeting to do canyons together, this is not a class or a guided trip! If you lack rappelling skills find someone to take you out to practice before the Bogleyfest. In the slot is not the time to learn to rappel. You need to be able to do the canyons you sign up for with a group. This means you know how to clip in and rappel without help, you do not 'freak-out' on long or awkward rappels, you can at least dog paddle to shore and you do not 'freak-out' when swimming in darkish, cold canyons.

I'm not on the trip, but I'm interested in the practice day. I sent you a pm, please let me know if there's room for me on the practice day when the dates are set.
