Tollhouse? snore.......
J-Tree? on Thanksgiving weekend? Zoo with no campsites available? Not interested.
Good thing I already have a triathlon scheduled for that weekend.
I do agree with Luciano about selecting a peak that is easily attained by all ranks.....oooops, I mean climbers. And if partying is part of the plan, the climb shouldn't be something too massive.
Rock climbing at Trona? Or Alabama Hills? on some other weekend besides T-Day? because that's not winter anyway.
