2008 Zion Noobfest June 6-9 - See 1st post for info summary

For the record, I of course love my friends, but if a spot opens up in a group to do subway, I have no problem breaking off from any and all of them to go. I realize there are not many spots, so I am cool with not going if it isn't a possibility but I just thought I would be clear that I would be interested if it is available.


As far as camping goes, if there is a concern about too many people at any one given campsite or whatever, I can camp in the park or wherever. I don't really care that much. I am just excited to be going.

Ok. Looks like Tanya and Felicia have been kind enough to let me have the permits they reserved. Thanks ladies!!! I have 4 in my group (me, wife(canyongirl), Caccc, and Caccc's wife). The plan is to do Das Boot on Saturday and then PineCreek on Sunday. So that leaves 2 spots on the Das Boot and 8 on the Pinecreek permit I think. Anyone is welcome to join us on either day.

for the record, as of now J-ROB and I have 2 extra seats in our car, if anyone needs a ride from provo, and would like to chip in for gas money we'd be fine with letting you come with us.

(i was going to be riding with discgo/warren, but we're taking seperate cars now that j-rob is coming)

I am going down on Thursday Night and hiking on Friday. If anybody wants a ride, they are more than welcome.

Are you going to camp at Watchman and try to get the group campsite on Friday/Saturday so we can have the potluck on Saturday night?

Group Sites are reserved via those Internets.

You need 9 people (sort of) to reserve the site. For tomfests, I always reserve with 9, then pay more money at checkin for the actual number who have signed up. 3$ a head.

Tom, if I'm reading this right all the group sites appear to be reserved already.

:ne_nau:

I think someone checked into this already and the only group site still available was a first come, first served site.... Hope I'm wrong cause reserving a group site would make things easier.

:popcorn:

I am pretty sure all of the group sites are taken. We are going there for that week with our scouts and leaving saturday. We reserved back in december and had a hard time getting a group spot. Had to take a different one from the one we usually use.

I obviously was not planning on it, but I would not be opposed. My plan is to hike most of Friday but I would be all to happy to help out. I just need to be told what people want me to do.

This is the information that we were using as of Friday:

Looking on the internet and the are no group sites avaliable at Watchman from what can be seen. But turns out there is one walk in site over at watchman. It's for 15 to 25 people (camping) with no more than 25 and it's only $3 pp.

Only problem is we'd need someone to "walk -up" and get it. No reservations allowed.

Hey PM, the information and number of people we need. I would think that we could probably get it unless somebody is there for the whole week or something.


I hate the idea of 20 people not having space for camping because of me not getting this, but I will be happy to try.

If campers could just get two or three sites together is would work out, even if the group site was not available. Having a general place to meet and hangout is a real bonus.

It is kindof difficult to get the sites together. I went with a large group last year and we had 3 or 4 sites for the group. They were all spread out in the campground, but we had one of the sites that was the "base". We would meet at the base camp and organize who was going with who and where the night before and then check in with our group in the morning at that site. We also hung out until bedtime at base. This worked pretty well as long as everyone knows what other sites our group will be at incase we need to talk to a certain person. We could have cheapo 'BOGLEY" signs so we would be easy to spot. The upside to this is that you get to say "base camp" and sound like a cool mountaineer! :haha:

Cacc and I and our wives are now staying at the hotel so we are outta the equation for camping!

It's the walk-in Group Site in SOUTH Campground, right? Behind the fence, down by the river?

I dunno which one is the walk-up one. Hank found it.
But it doesn't look like we have enough campers anyway, even if we were able to get it.

maybe we should all just show up at your house on Sat. night Tom????? :mrgreen:

You provide the jolly good cheer and I'll provide the Samichlaus! hehehe...

I bought a couple of climbing ropes at home depot so if I need to bring them then let me know... :2thumbs:
