About 40 mins from Oakdale on the way to the Valley. Anyone been? I can't find any reviews on Yelp.

I been climbing and thinking about climbing way too much, cosmicorgasm. Last episode of sexy time was about a month ago.
But seriously, I know I am not the only one who drove by that place numerous times and thought "hmmmm wtf is it doing in the middle of nowhere!?"

No you're not the only one who wonders. we usually draw the conclusion that that place has to be the saddest place on earth. It's both equally sad for performer and dancer. If your life leads you to Jamestown and has you dancing there, the fates have been really cruel.

But seriously....... Have you ever seen cars there?
Stopped at the Winkin' Lantern once BITD. I think we were looking for refreshment or sustenance on the way home from the Valley late at night. One and only time I ever went in. Was a pretty sad place even then.

well, if you take a left at the corner, you quickly arrive at the state prison. if you continue straight, you will soon arrive at the neighborhood where lots of the prisoner's families live and an area that has long been popular with bikers.
i'd say the location isn't too mysterious.

OMG Shiro someone found it!!! I had 3 people working on it (including myself). Well done.
Someone had their best time there.
Someone said "This place looks like the strip club from Dusk to Dawn...bikers - vampires and booze."
This place has potential.
Seriously, this place could be next ST Bay Area meetup on Friday night. Leave work an hour earlier at 4, and be there by 8 sipping martinis, chatting about climbs you want to do on Saturday, free pool, and semi decent dancers? Could be BIG LULZ

maybe you were going much later than I usually do. I expect the Girls Girls Girls (if there are any) don't start working till midnight. ...hadn't thought about the prison angle. The weird orange glow at night viewed from 120 is the Sierra Conservation Center between the Winkin' Blinkin' and Copperopolis

Looking forward to your trip reports on both the Winkin' Lantern and Asian match.com. Take lots of pro and wear a helmet.

No I believe DMT is a fun/outgoing type of guy. I won't let him get lured into that hotel neither. I look out after my homeboyz!
So far we have Gene and DMT interested in attending. Fattrad, you too? Who else? Is squishy done with rape charges? When?

We have 5 people already. This is brilliant. Will try to contact OW crew, I bet there are a few problems for them to work on. ; )
Cosmic, you might have to drive up here!

I thought this would be about a new secret crag. How pedestrian of me.

After driving by it 100s of times on the way to the valley curiosity got the better of my buddy and me. We went in on a Tuesday night.....yaaaaaa we were expecting it to be awful haha, but it was surprising good for a total dive strip bar on a tuesday.
