Pending time allowing Bo, Scott and Justin TBA

[tanya]

I'm going to cancel this since it seems the old crew had grown old, tired and is not in the position for a get-togehter, and so I'll just see you all individually as you pass through Mt. Carmel Jct., Utah to say hello.









As long as Bo Beck, Scott and Justin can make it, I will provide the place for a get together 12 miles from Zion National Park, and I will actually show up. Here is the link to the house, and the calendar. Pick a date, which can be several days long, and I will foot the bill for housing. You're on your own for food. There is a BBQ in the back right at the edge of the East Fork of the Virgin River! Canyoneering in Red Cave, and Red Hollow (at my house) are encourage. I hope Tom Jones comes too since he is my neighbor.

Rock! I hope you will be there! Wifes are welcome and can hang out at the house if that's the sort of thing they like to do, or at the Thunderbird pool and hot tub.

Is anyone interested?

I expect some 5 Star Review on the house - please :)

By the way, Bo and I got some 4-star review on our book, and if any of you have seen it could you give us better that that! It's a damn good book, just as Bo Beck!

Golf across the street from the house and cheap!

IDEAS that are outside of Zion and a permit is not need, but some are better during specific seasons.
Buckskin can be done with a day permit at the trailhead for a few bucks & it's awesome if you have not done it before.
I'm willing to car shuttle big groups who all want to do the same thing.

Have a date in mind?

[tanya]

I'm leaving that up to Bo, Scott and Justin so they can ALL attend as our leaders. I will show up whenever it is. Push them for a date!

@rockgremlin
@Sombeech @accadacca

Is this how this is done?

[Glenn]

I'll be there April 13-23, but visiting Coyote Buttes (North & South) on 14th and 15th. Was going to South Zion (south of Parunuweap) right after, then a few days north of Parunuweap after that. If Bo goes so goes I.

[Sombeech]

I'm interested, what do we have in mind? Getting together for a few canyons, maybe a few of us hit a few bike rides?

[rockgremlin]

Interested. I'm around most days. I'll keep my eye on dates.

[tanya]

I supply the house, and the rest, as usual SOMBEECH is up to you. Organize and invite. That's what you like to do, but remember to check the VRBO calendar because it's a rental house and not always open. It will only let you rent for several days at a time, but let me know what you want and I can fix that from my end. It might be set to 7 days right now, because it fills up and there is less cleaning and down time that way.

[Deeps]

I'll watch how this develops!

Most of April is gone for me, but I will make it if I can. Sounds fun.

Sounds fun. I'll watch for dates. I already have trips planned in the area in March and April. Start throwing out dates!

[tanya]

The dates are up to YOU, Justin and Bo!

[tanya]

Should I just get with Bo and pick a date and put it in the title of this thread? Folks keep asking me for a date.
@Bo_Beck @Sombeech @accadacca @rockgremlin

[Sombeech]

I think I might be down there in a couple of weeks with family, the first weekend in April. Let me see if the plans are set and I'll let you know. I'll bring a bike or two if I head down :)

[2065toyota]

We will also be interested in joining up with you guys. Thanks

[Sombeech]

It's going to be difficult for me to plan anything in the next month or so, as my wife is currently in Vietnam and we aren't able to plan a lot of stuff out at the moment.

I do know that I'll most likely be down there with family on the first weekend of April though. That's coming up pretty quick, if you guys wanted to do that weekend I could probably meet up for a canyon or two during the day, maybe catch some dinner together, but I'd be staying in St George with my family.

Now if everybody is thinking something later like May, or even in the Fall, sure we could do that and I'll be more involved, but it depends what everybody thinks. Is 3 weeks away too soon?

[tallsteve]

I'd be interested in mtn. bike rides but I don't have any canyoneering experience (other than rappelling a couple of times).

[Glenn]

Bummer about the cancellation, but I'll say "Howdy" when I'm out there.

[tanya]

@Glenn are you talking to me on facebook about my physics theory at http://Savant.Live ?


This get-together can be anytime Justin and Bo want to make it, but both are busy right now, and I do not want to pressure them. The house is open to the day in the future if they choose one, and both are dear friends, and who I have been with in person continually.

[Glenn]

@tanya, yep, same Glenn!

I love physical science, but the only science I'll be studying out in UTAZ next month is avoiding a serious gravitational acceleration. :-)
