Complex Systems Summer School 2013-Hiking

2013-06-12T19:49:38Z

Jyen: /* Overnight campers */

We decided to go this weekend to the Pecos Wilderness and climb Santa Fe Baldy. One group with ~10 people is going to go Saturday mid-morning ish, do a day hike and camp that night. The other group is going to (likely) leave Sunday and meet the first group out there, and we'll climb Baldy together.

We have to be below tree line by 2-ish (sooner if it looks like a storm is brewing), so should get back by dinner time, or can decide to go to dinner somewhere else in town.

We need to rent probably 1 car (I will drive 5 people to camp, Lauren will drive 4-5 people to day hike, +1 car for camping), and rent tents and sleeping bags, plus one stove for cooking.

In order to finalise numbers and know how much equipment to rent, please sign up here in whatever category applies and indicate whether you need a sleeping bag/mat!

==June 21 Madrid to see Juniper's Brother's band and to dance with hippies==

My brother's band [http://www.reverbnation.com/toddandthefox Todd and the Fox] is playing at the Mine Shaft in Madrid on June 21. Madrid is a ridiculous hippy town and has some of the best people watching there is. To boot, my brother's band is awesome and we can dance and have a great time http://www.reverbnation.com/show/10280700 --Juniper

Thumbs up!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

==Bandelier Field Trip==

We're taking a trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/index.htm Bandelier National Monument] on Saturday June 8th. Please visit the [[Bandelier 2013 | Bandelier Field Trip]] Page to sign up!

==More Hiking!==

Didn't get enough hiking at Bandelier? Come hiking/camping with me! I plan on going on a long hike (all day, preferably 10+ miles) one of the next two weekends. I brought things for camping and would love to do that if there is interest and it is possible to rent tents/sleeping bags in town (or if people want to just sleep outside, also fun). If that is not really possible or people would rather just go for a single day that is great as well. I am open to a lot of different things, there is so much great hiking around Santa Fe!

Some suggestions:
* [http://www.backpacker.com/april_1999_destinations_new_mexico_pecos_wilderness/destinations/696 Pecos Wilderness] - just outside of Santa Fe, lots of trails!
* [http://www.summitpost.org/wheeler-peak-nm/150429 Wheeler Peak] - tallest mountain in New Mexico, outside of Taos (would require either camping at the base or waking up very early to do it the day of)
* [http://www.fodors.com/world/north-america/usa/new-mexico/taos/review-465844.html Carson National Forest] - North of Santa Fe, another beautiful forest, lots of different entrance locations

I am up for any other suggestions if people have heard of trails they want to go on. Depending on how the fires progress we may or may not be limited, but should be able to do something! Send me an email if you are interested and we can talk logistics (bstoll1234@gmail.com) [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]

I would love to go! I had a hike in mind too--Tesuque Peak, which is just by the ski area and is 12 miles, but I am up for any of them! -Lauren (lash1937@gmail.com)

I'm interested! -Hua (caih@umich.edu)

I'm defintley interested - Wheeler Peak sounds very interesting (I have to get camping stuff though)! - johannes (johannes dot schmidt at boku dot ac dot at)

If we did Wheeler Peak, I am highly in favor of the longer class 1 route. The shorter class 2 route has a scree slope at the end, and I really dislike scree (it scares me). If we camped at the trailhead, I have a 3 person tent that we could use. --Lauren

==Music on the Hill==

St. John's hosts [http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/events/SF/music.shtml live music] on the soccer field this Wednesday (June 12) as well as next Wednesday (June 19) and the Wednesday after (June 26). Performances start around 6:00 PM. It looks like all of the performers will be doing jazz. I really hope to make the June 19 performance, as this will be big band, which is (usually) great for dancing. Any other swing dancers in our group? --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

* sounds fun to me! -- Hua
* I'm definitely interested! --Molly

==Mafia/Werewolf==
[[JP]] LOVES to Play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) Mafia/Werewolf]. Let's set up a time one of these evenings in the lower commons...

This sounds pretty cool. [[todd_bodnar | Todd]]

I like Mafia a lot, and I also brought a card game called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxx Fluxx], and also know a few other games you can play with just paper and pencil (like [http://natsdistractions.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/great-party-game/ Bucket of Nouns]). I think a game night would be fun! --Molly

I would love to play Go if anyone is interested. --John D -- Count me in!! -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

We should probably set a time/day/place if we actually want this to happen... I suggest 7:00am on sunday, with the lower common room thing, unless something else is happening then.

I like the game! Count me in! -- Hua

==Dance party==

Would anyone be interested in some sort of clubbing/dance party some time this month? And to be clear I don't mean going down to a bar to sit round drinking beers- that can be fun too, but I'm meaning something more music/dance focused.
If so,

What bars/clubs do people know of the might work? what music do they provide?

What music are people interested in? Remember, music that is good to listen to is not always good for dancing (and to be fair, there's plenty of music which is fun to dance to, but might not actually be "good")

Also, didn't someone mention some degree of DJing or music abilities? I can't remember, but if so, we could try to get our hands on the light rigs in the lecture hall and just make our own dance part from scratch...

*Our own dance party from scratch sounds fun to me. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

==Mountain Biking==

I would like to go mountain biking on sunday (9th of June). Anybody interested in joining me? We can rent a bike in the city for either 30$ (hard tail) or 60$(fully), helmets are 4$ extra. For those who are interested: please put your name and your height (needed for bike reservation) here until Thursday evening, I'm going to reserve the bikes then. [[Johannes_Schmidt]]

==Athletic Things==

I've heard lots of people talking about running/walking etc, and at dinner last night we mentioned that it would be fun to have a running group. Anyone interested in having a running/walking group either in the mornings or evenings? Post interest here!

I'm interested in a (quick) '''walking group''' in the mornings. It's great to exercise a bit in this nice weather and be able to talk at the same time. [[Regina_Martinez |Regina]]
*I would also be up for quick walking - whether we mean walking briskly or walking for 20-30 min. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]

Also, I love ultimate frisbee! Anyone interested in either learning or playing a game perhaps sunday or after dinner one day next week? Let me know! [[Brady_Stoll|Brady]]
*Ultimate would be fun, although I had a pretty bad knee injury years ago and haven't done that much running since then. I could see how long I would last. --[[Vanessa_Schweizer | Vanessa]]
*That's fine, anything would be fun, even just throwing/teaching people to throw! -Brady
* Down to play. Anything planned for today? - Bapu
* I don't have any specific plans today, but would love to either throw or teach if you're interested before the sun goes down. Play for sure tomorrow? Lets say tomorrow after dinner for those interested

Or basketball? Anybody want to play a pickup game?
-I would play a pick up game -Brady

==Yoga==

Anyone interested in '''yoga tomorrow (Sunday 9th) at 7pm?''' Some of us are going to [[http://www.santafecommunityyoga.org/index.php/classes2/schedule]]. We are meeting at 6:30pm. There is only one more space in Lauren's car. But, if there are more people interested, we can try to find a solution for the commute. [[Regina_Martinez | Regina]]

Hi Regina - I would be interested in joining you for yoga if there is still space. Please email me at [[jjwright49@me.com]] and let me know. Thanks! - [[Jody_Wright | Jody]]

Anyone want to go to yoga tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) evening? We were thinking of going to Hatha yoga at 5:30, so leaving campus at 5:00. We'll go to dinner afterwards too. Send me an email (lash1937@gmail.com) if interested. [[Lauren_Shoemaker | Lauren]]

==THERE IS A FOURTH WEEKEND!!==

If you, like me, believe that CSSS lives on after Saturday 29...

If you, like me, are hanging around because you can't leave this sacred piece of ground anymore...

If you, like me, believe this month is only the beginning of a life that wasn't before...

Then you believe on the forth weekend!! I know many of you will stay a few days after CSSS is over and it would be nice to organize ourselves soon. So, if we choose to go somewhere, say taking a flight, we could get cheaper prices, etc! Also we will be needing shelter after the 29th. This might be an urgent thing ;) Let's use this to organize ourselves! I post some ideas below that I've heard around these days. -- [[Luís_Seoane | Luíño]]

*Trip to the Gran Canyon?
*Camping in some national park?
*Trip to San Francisco?
*Trip to Las Vegas where we make up random couples and get married :?
