Here is Green Valley campground location on google maps:

Green Valley Location

Message from EB: Yo, Yo , Yo, all right all its a done deal; this years climbers party will be the weekend of Oct 24/25th. Potluck at one of the pavillions at the south shore(usually the one right after the entrance on the left w/bathrooms); bring something to pass, then its on to Green Valley. Donna the owner is super psyched we're coming and asked that we bring trees or shrubs to help buffer the campground from the new HWY 12 development which is going right through their home(which is being torn down). So there you have it! Crank your brains out all day, meet at the south shore for some grubbin' and move onto the valley before your blood alcohol levels are illegal then throw down!!! Lets make this year one for the ages, all are welcome whether its your first year of climbing or 50th, git on it!! Whoooooop!

For what it is worth, I've talked to several people who just assume that the party is the third weekend. A lot of folks haven't seen this thread. It would be a lot easier to get a bigger turnout if it is the third weekend.

If the turnout has been weak in past years its up to us to get the word out. The party is usually the 3rd weekend but a bunch of people made commitments the 3rd weekend this year accidentilly,because the first weekend is the 2nd of oct. Usually the the third weekend is around the 20-21st, this year its the 16th. So what ever everyone is down with.. go for it. I was just trying to organize the party to make it what it used to be, since it seems as though nobody else had been doing it. Regardless a bunch of us will be partying the 4th weekend. TWO Parties? Why not!

The climbers party has always been the 3rd weekend in October!....any one who comes who does not spend their spare time on MP will miss it if EB successfully moves it to the 24th!

We are planning for the 17th and have a climbers party in Lacrosse on the 24th for anyone who is interested. A lot of people are already planning for the 17th.

Well there you have it the party is the 17th. The only reason we talked about changing it is because of the early weekend this year and because there were a number of people who couldn't make it because of that. And after talking with a bunch of other regulars they seemed to not care what weekend it was. But two parties are better than one! I'll spread the word for the 17th.Thanks Dave for keeping it going.

just given you guys some shit....what ever works.

Leo,
You hit the nail on the head! Our vote is for the 17th as per tradition.

Someone should probably make a new thread with the CONFIRMED date so there is less confusion. The date is approaching very quickly!

So there is a La Crosse climber's party on the 24th? I might have to come home for that. It sounds like fun.

Thanks

alright. cause no one else will ask- when the hell is the party at DL?

Saturday 10/17 is the official day. Has anyone made arrangements for camping at Green Valley?

Somebody get on it! For such an annual party somebody needs to step up. Maybe it should be a tradition to appoint a new planner at each party for the next year. I'll do it for the 2010 party, but I'll be in the south this year for the 3rd week. I'll see you the fourth weekend PJ, lets get a group to do the much talked about south bluff tour, reserve, boomtown, chode ejaculator! Big day, anyone in? there's a couple testpices waiting to go down! maybe a new thread for this is needed!

I'm there!
