Annual Joshua Tree road trip in January. (Gathering) Part II

[zuropa_fit]

Should we call them now? Who's going to be who in the picture? (You know we're going to do it, so we might as well call slots now.)

I think Dev should be Bono because she's got the long-ish, shoulder-length hair. I have a stubbly facial something going on right now, so I guess I could be Edge. (But I'd need the hat.) Or, I wear glasses, so I could be Adam also.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...

My guess is we'll do several versions of the shot.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Carlos, are you bringing cans of soda or 2 litres? Do I need to bring cups?

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

I'm new to this trip. Should be good fun. Been looking forward to it.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I'm working in that area on Saturday morning; BAW and I will join you for breakfast to wish you a safe trip...same place, Mel's, at what time???

 

[RedRocksU2]

8 am

 

[RedRocksU2]

Carlos, are you bringing cans of soda or 2 litres? Do I need to bring cups?

I texted you, you did not get it? Sorry.

I'll bring cans, it will be easier that way. Any suggestions?

 

[zuropa_fit]

I'm a fan of the pepsi products m'self but I usually travel with my own, so whatever you want to bring is fine with me!

BAWS!!!!!! I was wondering if/when you'd get in on this.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Ok.


Btw; 60% chance of rain.
67 degrees.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Ok.


Btw; 60% chance of rain.

There's still 2 days for that to change, right?

 

[RedRocksU2]

I hope so. I heard that if it does rain, it will be early in the morning and the chances will decrease as the day goes.

 

[zuropa_fit]

WEll, that's not bad then. Nothing we can't handle.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Oh yeah.
I thought that it would be cooler than what they are projecting.

 

[Mr. BAW]

We'll see you then!

 

[dsmith2904]

Yay for the new additions to our breakfast!!!

I think Dev should be Bono because she's got the long-ish, shoulder-length hair.

I also have the Bono-ish height going

I'm all for doing many versions of that picture, all part of the fun!

This. And depending on which weatherman you listen to, snow level locally is supposed to be at the 3500 - 4000 foot level, which means you may have snow through Cajon Pass. Be careful, lots of accidents occur in the pass under these conditions.

You are so sweet, Purple. I you!

Here's the weather forecast for The Joshua Tree:
Saturday: Rain. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the low 30s.

And for Joshua Tree:
Saturday: Showers possible. Highs in the low 50s and lows in the upper 30s

bonocomet made this suggestion before that we may want to keep in mind:

EVEN THOUGH WE WON'T NEED IT (positive thoughts there ) a possible alternate plan then in case of rain is we could go see the Harmony Motel and Joshua Tree National Park. They are only about an hour and a half drive from Mels.

I can't wait to go and meet all of you! Is there anything else that is needed that I can bring? I saw the list for picnic food....requests would be great!!!
See all of you on Saturday!

[RedRocksU2]

I wonder if we'll pass by the shoe tree?

Here's the latest list:

Carlos: drinks (water and soda)
Ethan: guac and salad of some kind
Zooey: paper goods
Edge_Orchestra: chips and Red Vines
Dev: I can bring sandwich fixins
comet: chocolate chip cookies (no nuts)
Outsider: pan dulce

Maybe you could bring fruit or veggies or some snack that you like?

Looking forward to meeting you Saturday morning!

 

[RedRocksU2]

If we go there, we should rent a room just for shits and giggles.

 

[dsmith2904]

If we do, I want this room:

The Jack Kerouac Cabin This detached, self-contained residence, aptly named Jack Kerouac (a famous writer that loved the desert) sleeps four. This is huge open plan room with a Queen bed, a full futon bed and a twin rollaway bed, this room has its own full kitchnette. The rate for this room starts at: $90.00 plus taxes for two people, and an additional $10.00 per person for the 3rd and 4th individuals.

If only for the name.

btw, If I have time, I will print some pictures from the last trip to place inside the U2ube capsule thingy at the site.

 

[bonocomet]

just fyi, The Harmony has a minimum 2 night stay policy.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Maybe, if we wind up going to the Harmony, we could tell them we were looking to rent the place for a U2 fan gathering / retreat and want to see the place to see if it's worth it... Like when people check out fancy places for their wedding, you know?

 

[dsmith2904]

Adds Harmony Motel to list of fantasy wedding venues (after Slane Castle, of course).

 

[FitzChivalry]

What's Ireland's stance on gay marriage? I may have to trek to Ireland to have my fantasy wedding!

Dark-Ages California.

 

[Cleasai]

I'm happy I'm not the only one who has a fantasy U2ey wedding venue. Moydrum Castle would be it for me.
