Well, weather looks rough but at least Saturday looks promising. Wonder if the event is still slated to happen this weekend? Some tarps and 10x10 canopies for the evening can make for a decent setting even if it does rain.

Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 75. East wind around 5 mph becoming south in the morning.
Saturday Night A 30 percent chance of rain.  Mostly cloudy, with a low around 53. South wind around 5 mph becoming east in the evening.
Sunday Rain likely.  Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. South southeast wind 5 to 10 mph.  Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Susan,

This will happen rain or shine.  If there was ever a time I wished the weather forecast was wrong, this is it - I command there to be no rain around Tollhouse this weekend!  If rain, then we will not be climbing, but the raffle, clean-up, and beer keg will go on.

Hope you guys had a great time Mark! Sounds like fun and I'm sorry we couldn't make it. 

[Climberdude]

We had a great time.  The weather cooperated on Saturday, which was the day that counted.  There was a great raffle event.  Sorry you could not attend.

Thanks. Would be nice to see photos.

I had to miss again this year. Heard it was a good time. That weekend seems to always be an issue for me.
