American Alpine Club, Access Fund, Friends of Inyo and Inyo National Forest bring you, once again, a Fall Highball.
Work party at Buttermilk Country on Saturday, 19 Nov. 9:00 AM to noon.
We'll start at the parking lot East of the Peabodys. We'll have coffee and treats for the volunteers.
Plenty of time after working for playing.
Saturday evening: PARTY
At Mill Creek Station. 7:00 PM
John Long will give a slide show and talk.
$5 donation for admission including beer and refreshments.
Additional contributions will be gratefully accepted.
There will be a raffle.
18 and over only please. ID will be checked for beer.
Live music by the Core Shots
Designated Drivers are encouraged
all proceeds go to the AAC Buttermilk conservation fund.
Inyo National Forest is planning a proper toilet at the Buttermilks. This summer they published a project scoping proposal. AAC, Access Fund and FOI all responded positively to the proposal.
Come on out, work hard, climb hard and party to give back to Buttermilk Country.
Additional thanks to John Long, Manor Market, Black Sheep coffee, Great Basin Bakery and Mill Creek Station.
The Pit should be open for camping.
I'll post here again if I have more or corrected information.
HELP: you too can help. If you're able to distribute posters at climbing shops/gyms etc in your area contact me and I'll get you started.

hey Fred, the poster looks great, but could you maybe change the name to
Autumn Highball?
Somehow the words "Fall" and "Highball" next to each other don't seem right....
:-P

Completely agree, but it may be necessary for licencing, legal or insurance purposes to say no one under 18, or at least see that the advertising says it.

Way out there....

Plus the people who host the mill creek events don't like kids climbing on rocks...go figure....
We were asked to take our three children and leave last year because they were sitting on a rock watching the music. The owners were pretty lame people after they got baked or wined up or something.
I hope we can find a better place to host the event next year.
See you all at the boulders. Sierra Salve would like to donate some prizes or help out in some way.

There'll be a raffle at the party.
Someone will take home the Metolious bouldering pad donated by Pacific Edge climbing gym in Santa Cruz.
