I would love to have a family fest and the end of may sounds like it should work nicely for me.
By the way I am embarrassed to admit this, but I didn't know you had kids Kev. I have wondered why you decided not have children but I didn't want to pry. So congratulations on what appear to me as two new children :)"My heart shall cry out for Moab..." Isaiah 15:5

This is a great idea. Except my two worst months are May and September. I have every kid playing soccer all over Utah those two months. With two cars and 4 kids it is nuts.

I'm interested in a family fest.... my only concern is May can be a little early for Zion Canyoneering. A lot of the good family routes are under snow, have high water issues or are filled with ice cold water.

Family rental
I might be in the Zion area that weekend, but I'd have to rent a family.
Any ideas on what that might cost?

Kind figured I might get an offer like that.
Especially from you Mark.
I was actually more interested in the "wife" part.

If the canyon's are too cold maybe we can find some climbing routes that are family friendly? I bet Bo would have some ideas...It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life. - Ten Bears, "The Outlaw Josie Wales"

I can't come up with a family that fast, but I'll meet you after the fest for some canyons.
Let me know.

Hey, ststephen, I heard good things - it would be great to meet you and yours there!
ScoutColorado, hope you can make it, too!
Brewhaha, it'd be great to see you again, and meet your crew!
Matt, after I drop the kids off at the airport on Monday the 24th, I plan to hit Boulder the following weekend. Free on weekdays? Or plans for Memorial Day long weekend? We'll talk...

Back at you Kev!
Well Aaron says the "prom" at his school is not for middle school kids so maybe this can work. He certainly said he'd like to get back in some canyons or up some mountains or something and it would be so great to do that with some other kids.
Cool - something adventurous to look forward toIt is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life. - Ten Bears, "The Outlaw Josie Wales"

I'll just bump this every now and then; a little reminder to keep the idea simmering.
I've made a campsite reservation at Watchman for Thursday through Sunday nights, May 20-23. We've got 1 tent and 3 people - room for 1 more tent with up to 3 people. More sites available nearby, too, if anyone wants to do the so-called "civilized" sardine camping that you have to pay for. Hey, I like it. We're in Loop D, number 34.

I'll go check out reserving a site!
Kev, what do you plan on doing? If Finch's friends come, I'm not sure they'd be up for Pine Creek - but I think they'd be OK with Keyhole. Could be, we'd end up doing more hiking than canyoneering, cuz these city kids are a bit wimpy------but, it would still be fun.
So, I will be there for sure, with some amount of kids!
Well, not really kids as they're in the 16 - 18 YO range - not quite kids anymore.....If the shoe fits ~ pretend it doesn

Cool, Randi!
Y'all know that we'll be celebrating Felicia's & my birthday on Saturday, too, right?
I've kind of been talking it over with ststephen a bit, too. I definitely want to do a quick intro Keyhole, and really want to take the kids through Pine Creek. Other than that, on the table are things like Spry and Behunin. But depending on the kids and how they lean towards raps vs. long walks, something like the Subway on the more walking side, or Birch Hollow on the more rapping side.
Unfortunately, with the big snow year, I'm thinking that Mystery will not be in season yet by May 20. Last year, it was available from about the 18th on, except for the 24th. On the other hand, if it starts melting early, it may happen - and that's one I'd like to take them through.

And with two Birthdays to celebrate too!
Do you think we could get a Subway permit? I'd attempt to take the kids through subway if we could a permit! I'm more concerned with taking them down big raps. Not my daughter, the other people's kids!If the shoe fits ~ pretend it doesn
