June 17-19th 2011 Zion Bogleyfest
Just thinking ahead, is there a plan for a November 2011 Bogleyfest like there was in Moab 2009?
(I note the various 2010 Fruita posts here and here but I did not see the great trip reports as there were from the 2009 Moab trip.
I know that Iceaxe suggests: "A Bogley fest only requires someone to step up and start organizing" but I am not knowledgeable enough of the requirements to start up such a thing. I also know Moab Mark and others did a lot of work in preparation for the 2009 'fest.
Is there a possibility of another one?
All the best from England,
Rob

Someone mentioned there may be a June fest too, but i can't find any posts or info on it here. Am I missing something?

That sounds like a lot of fun...would Hanksville be a fun place for it? Or is this an all relaxation event?

Someone just needs to step-up and take a turn in the barrel.
I believe the very first Bogley-fest was a 2007 one-day trip to the Black Hole.

It was a lot of fun.

Last year Kev got us all planning a Zion fest for late May all the way back in the preceding Nov. I've been talking with a few folks about organizing a June trip for this year and it looks like the weekend of June 18/19 works well. The only trouble is that Watchman is basically full already so we'd need a different place for a group BBQ. The year before we did one at a house in Springdale but I don't know who's it was.
I like the mid-June dates best because school is out for my son and we're less likely to be skunked on canyons and hikes due to high CFS flow in the rivers. I will probably drive out this year and stay for longer, i.e. a few days before and/or past the weekend.It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death.

It is not as nice a location as Springdale but I am willing to volunteer my place for the BBQ if you like. Just bought a brand new awesome fire pit/grill. Should be able to feed an army with this thing.

Yes we should have started this earlier, Tom. But I'm going to try to "take a turn in the barrel" as ice says and see if we can still pull this off now.
OK, the proposed date right now is the weekend of June 18&19. Here's what I see as available for a group get together:
Group site in Watchman: only available on Sunday 6/19 (two sites still available)
Individual sites in Watchman: a 5 sites each in loops C and D but also only on Sunday pretty much only for that one night as well.
I know Saturday is probably the preferred choice for a group meal, but maybe Sunday would be acceptable? Another idea floated is trying to grab first-come first-served sites at Gooseberry Mesa.It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death.

What about the two public parks in Springdale for a group dinner? I can call tomorrow and see if either are available for reservation that Sat. There is the one behind the town hall and the one by the river.
