The heralded (and free) slideshow, “From Wisconsin to New Hampshire,” will be coming to Wheeler’s Campground on the evening of Saturday, July 5th. We’ll start the show around 9pm, with beers (BYOB) before and after. Evolv will be giving away some climbing schwag before the show.

Wheeler’s is located just south of Baraboo, WI, on Hwy 159, one mile west of Devil’s Lake State Park. For further directions to Wheeler’s Campground, go to their website: http://www.wheelerscampground.com.

Please bring a lawn chair or a blanket, as seating may be at a minimum. We’d love to have you stop by.

Jay - Do you maintain the traditional core values of The Lake?
i.e: are you core DLFA or an affiliate?
If so, I would love to attend your classic affair, but unfortunately, since I am geographically unable to attend, I must most humbley bow out, though with much frustration and disappointment.

Really cool, Jay! Should be a good time.

I'm not totally sure what Jay will be showing, but check out some of these pics from the Knower collection

Damn, will be in the Black Hills or on the way home via a circuitous route. Make it Sunday night man!

I'll see you there, with a chair and a jack and coke.

Tom-

Looking at the pictures, and reading Jay's posts, he may already be a member of the DLFA but not yet know it (similar to my indoctrination). I leave it to President Bechler to make it official.

Tom-

Shoot me a message off-list- use leo.herm@gmail.com

I have a couple trips to Denver coming up and would be a blast to open a jackness with you- let's get Sangdahl involved as well.


Leo

Leo and Jay,

We must never let the DLFA die.
There are far too few old school climbers clubs with such a great reputation around any more these days.
New members must be indoctrinated in order for the club to survive and pass its wonderful heritage and legacy on down to future generations.

Leo - I'll email you regarding your Denver trip.

Hey Jay
I may try to make the slide show so I could meet the younger generation of lake extremists.

That would be great Rich. We'd love to meet you as well.

just a bump

Jay, it would be great to see your slides. For those of us out west, maybe you can come out "on tour" and put one up for the locals. It's another excuse to do a climbing road trip...anyway, have fun!!

BUMP, and I am psyched...

Weekend plans are surely being made around this time so, bump!

Hey Jay,

I second Mattso's proposition about Flagstaff... The Monsoons are just starting, so give it a bit of time.. It is hard to beat early fall in NAZ.

JJ

Jay, wish I could be there. Send me a whole trip report. I want to hear about the bugs, trips to Hooties, memorable sends, and when I should pick you up at the airport. Happy fourth. Matt

One more day till the show. everyone better nail down there plans to be at the lake and wheelers on Sat. night. Cheers Matt

So, how was the show?

The slideshow was great. It was fun to hear about all the hard work Jay put into Cold War 5.14a. There was even a video of Jay sending Cold War. He looked very solid on that vid. He talked about how he met his wife Kate and how she was the one that decided to move out to New Hampshire, and Jay just had to follow along (like it was a hard decision)

All in all, it was a fun time.
