^^^^^ Werd. Todd is good people for sure!
Okay, part II of what I'm bringing to the party. This one is 16"x20" (fatter format worked better for the general shape of the formations) map of the Indian Cove and Rattlesnake Canyon area with all formations marked.
Same as last time...this is a one shot deal, so bid early bid OFTEN!!!
edit:grid added

Two questions for the moment. Todd is your place in or near the town of JT? Is the fastest route from Vegas through Cima, Kelso and Amboy?

Was down at a pool party in La Quinta yesterday, and Mike Fogarty and Chuck Clancy stopped by to drop off a check for Tom and a chunk of cash to get things started on the ice and beer (I bought four kiddie pools to hold all the ice and beer!).
It was great to see these gentlemen, and wonderful to see people stepping up, reaching out, and really and sincerely wanting to help out. Caring about each other and throwing it down.
I've known Mike for probably 35 years;.....always great to see him and always impressed with his climbing, ability to get the job done, and his willingness to help out and be a friend.
Makes me proud to be a part of this fundraiser, and proud to be a rock climber and Mike's friend. Pool party, great friends, wonderful weather, ......yesterday was a FANTASTIC day in so many ways!
Big thanks to Mike and Chuck;..you guys RULE! Mike belongs in the superman shirt, no doubt!
Dogs, kids, canadians....everyone in the pool..

We are starting to get going on the beer;........off to a good start;...(this is probably enough for Tucker Tech and Robert Fonda.....maybe.........naaah..probably not....but it's a start).
If you would like to help with the beer situation;....bring a sixer (or suitcase or case)..and we will put it in the kitty pools and chill it down......any beer contributions means more money raised for Tom and less spent from the fundraiser funds for beer. We will drink a lot of beer......I'm thinking about X5 what you seen here;....anyways.......The main thing to focus on is;...... WE MUST NOT RUN OUT OF BEER.
If you wish to help,....we will need
1) More beer
2. ice for the beer
3. $20 donation for fundraiser (gets you two books, raffle ticket, pizza/beer, porti-potties, epperson slide show, tequilla bar)
4. folding tables
5. donate anything to do with climbing for us to sell, raffle, or silent auction
6. Money if you wish to buy anything being sold for the fundraiser;....we have all sorts of cool climbing stuff, collectables, guidebooks, book, clothes, shoes, ropes, gear, pins, ....all sorts of cool stuff for sale, silent auction, or raffle.
7. Firewood for campfire
8. Bring yo mama
See you soon..
