I'll have to post up some pics later.
Mostly though it was great to see new and old friends.
Nature's head ought to be getting big as once again the Kudos go to him for putting the thought out there.
We got back to MI at around Mid-Night last night and I made it to my ofice by 7:30. It started snowing aroung 8:00.
Prod.

Hi Everyone,SF IV XI:XXIII/XXIV IC (in English that's, Sushi Fest 4 November23/24 Indian Creek) was a BLAST! Yes it was cold but my heart was warmed by all the attendees, and The Creek itself. If you're there with good friends and you're prepared it's hard not to enjoy yourself at The Creek. They say a picture is worth a thousand words( although I agree with the sentiment I've always found the ratio to be a bit exaggerated.)Alas I have no camera so I'll try and paint a picture of this memorable Thanksgiving 2007.
Wednesday 5AM- After a month of record temperatures in Flagstaff the icy grip of winter has finally taken hold. It's about 18 degrees(very similar to the Creek, But I'm in a nice warm house. No packing has been done and I've promised Riotch I'd climb the Mexican Hat at 3PM MST. Off I go into the chill of the morning to make my appointed Bread rounds. Luckily everything goes smooth and I'm back home at 11AM. A quick 45 minute pack ensues and I'm off across the Navajo Rez to one of the shortest yet coolest summits in America. As I pull up I can see Riatch already under the sombrero with an aider clipped to the 1st bolt. He used the only piece of wood for miles to stick clip it. After a quick 6 minute lead by Riatch I take stock of my original idea to try and free the hat on TR, but it's about 40 degrees and blustery. I opt for jugging and after a quick celebration on the summit we descend to set up camp for what will be the first of many cold nights. Thanks to everyone that brought or stole firewood. It was a godsend. Riotch and I roll up to the Splitter camp on Thursday morning, but see no signs of SFers, and all the sights are occupied. Thank god it snowed 6 inches that night, by the following morning every single campsite bailed just as our group straggled in. Interestig that not one person under the age of 30 toughed it out. Just an observation. Also after the first night all the beautiful women bailed with one exception. Props to Crista.After a mellow snowy rest day we were greeted to a frigid but crystal clear morning. By 11 AM a group of us were shirts off at the bas3e of Rock Lobster. Worth the trip alone. The nights, well, we do what we do .Eat the best fish around, courtesy Nature, huddle by the fire, play cards,you go Crista!, socialize with old friends(6 months at least), Radical,PMB,MisterE,Nature,Ricardo carlos, Prod and Crista, and meet new friends Jaybro, MikeSalt, Steve It was grand. See you next time, Much Love, The Dr.

Tucson SushiFest 2008 end of January or beginning of February. Peregrine closure is the issue here.
As a result of monitoring conducted by the Southern Arizona Climbers Coalition, the Coronado NF is able to permit access into the Rockfellow Dome Park, Dragoon Mountains effective through 6/30/05 except as follows: being on any part of Cochise Dome or Unnamed Dome immediately southeast of Cochise Dome is prohibited through 6/30/05. Contact: Gary Helbing — Wildlife Biologist, Douglas Ranger District Tel: 520.364.3468
I'm not sure what that means. Anyway, the idea floated is to do it before Feb. 1st which according to some sources is when the Rockfellow group closes. There's a ton of other stuff to climb so.... the later the better for the warmth. IT won't be toasty anywhere in the states.
Hey Crimpie: I was thinking... maybe we need a sushifest 2007 yearbook. You up for the mission? Maybe others can help organize, etc?
Cozumel is still being floated. That's warm!

Tar: yes! no problem!
Prod: perhaps you can skip renting a car? I'm sure there will be a ton of Tucson folks (myself included) that can hook you up.
