She's 60 years old. Today. Here's her high school graduation photo. Anyone see any of Katie here? Or Tricia?




On top of the Lover's Leap mega-classic Bear's Reach. Before kids:




After kid number one (I look at these photos and I begin to think I'm the one who's been pretty lucky in life):




Backpacking off of Sonora Pass:




An early PCT trip:




Doesn't need a caption:




In the mountains together:




More recent PCT shuttle:




And this shot, at almost 60:




She's over on the couch now, drinking coffee and enjoying the morning.

Ha! I must have been too cheap and escaped that scam!!

I used the blue guide for years and years. I held off from buying the purple guide, too expensive. I succumbed when I started at Western and have a discount.

TM meadows, different story, I was ignorant to the new route potential up there.
OMG, where was my head!!

My first trip out of town with a friend who had license was to Western. I bought a Kelty day pack, used it for years. Another friend insisted on sending it in for repairs and Kelty sent me a brand new pack.

 We missed the exit on the way back and drove the wrong direction for a while.

Nope, that photo is in front of a place we rented for two years before we bought this house. The rental is off 108, about midway between here and Sugar Pine. I can't remember if you ever came by there (we weren't climbing very much on SPH then).

Vicki's 60th? Wow - that is a big one  :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin:

I can't just say happy birthday.
Vicki is one of the nicest people I have ever met.
From the first time we met, she made me feel right at home.
She is so welcoming and hospitable.
She is also kind, thoughtful, caring, generous and nurturing - and that only covers part of it!
I think Vicki and Kathy's mom should both seriously be considered for sainthood.
May today and every day be bright and full of joy for you Vicki  :thumbup: :biggrin: :yesnod: :smile5:

 That is quite a compliment and so nicely said and does only cover part of it.

Thanks Julie!

When I asked Vic what she wanted by way of a "60th birthday celebration" she said: "the usual Labor Day climbing crowd, but I don't have to cook."

Gulp.

With help from Alicia (of Sugar Shack fame), the Dawsons and Kathy and John, I think we pulled it off. A great gathering of climbers and Vicki didn't have to cook or clean up!

Oddly though, I didn't think to bring a camera over to Dawsons. Vicki got a few shots though, on her phone.

Weirdo selfie after we'd loaded into the Expedition to drive over:




On Dawson's deck (newly and proudly rebuilt last summer):







Gathered inside:










Dave and Pamela even came home a little early so that they could make it:




Even though the photos only show about 40% of the people who were there, they're still a great sampling of SPH climbers (and also a nice set of Pinns climbers too for that matter). Anyone else get any photos?

The tables and seats did block out about 60%, on average,  of the people bodies who were in in the pics.
