So we gotta get our own permits or wtf. Is Bo getting them or are we doing a canyon where you don't need them? Page 16 coming up. . .

If we end up with groups larger than 6 we're going to mostly be forced out of permit canyons. What about several groups of six? There are going to be a few who have never been here before who are going to want to hit Das Boot, Pine, and Keyhole. While others will want something a bit more meatier. A possible suggestion;
-One group of 6-12 hits Keyhole and Pine on Saturday and a non permit canyon on Sunday, like Birch or Misery.
-Another group of 6 hits Das Boot, swaps and does something else on Sunday, maybe Rock Canyon.
-Another group of six hits Boundary or something of heartier fare one day, something else on Sunday.
I think the groups would naturally get mixed on the two days with this many people coming. There will also be plently of socializing in the evenings.
We could also set it up like Tom has in the past with his fests. Each leader posts which canyons he plans on doing, arranges permits, then others 'sign up' for that leader on that day. This way we may be able to satisfy all of the diferent needs of 24 people.
My two cents. I'm just looking to spend some time with good friends again.beefcake. BEEFCAKE!

i just checked and there are plenty of on line permits available for canyons on the 7th and 8th. Looks like somebody snagged a bunch for Pine on the 8th but there is still a ton left for Saturday. Spry, Behunin, Telephone, Englestead, and Das Boot all have 6 or more permits available on line for the 7th and 8th.
All of those above I feel are fine for noobs who have at least done a few canyons before, all pretty straightforward, except for maybe the 300 footer on Englestead. I also like Rock quite a bit. Just thinking out loud here but we could send a dozen down Misery and a dozen down Rock and all meet at French for the easy Misery hike out and avoid that slog out the other way.
Could do the same thing with Englestead and Birch. Send six down Englstead and a dozen or so down Birch and meet in Orderville for th hike out the bottom.
Has anybody looked into a group campsite? some sort of gathering place?beefcake. BEEFCAKE!

My 3rd trip through was with a former employee and 4 other friends. Curt stood 5'10" and weighed in at 320#
Whats to say that 27 of us couldn't get through that skinny canyon and enjoy pizza and (root) beer afterwards?

Tanya I was also thinking if we needed another canyon we could do Water Canyon. I know it is easy, but no permits and this is noobfest so easy is ok.

OK, so we've got the date and area nailed down. This thread is getting really long (16+ pages), so how about I create another thread with just the details?
The moderators can edit the participant list as it updates, as well as the canyons.
