Hey,thanks Brad! It was a pleasure meeting you too!  I had a great time working on the CCC road.  It was really satisfying to look back at the wide swath of brush that we mowed down and know that it will make getting out to that area of the park soooo easy and fast now.

Sorry about missing you guys on Sun.   I ended up showing Rob P. and Cora around the High Peaks. They had to leave early so by the time we talked to the guy tracking the condors, took in some views, and climbed Little Javelina is was time to go back down.  We saw you guys on where's waldo.

Look forward to seeing you again at the Pinns.

Another hightlight was JC getting the special Orange Shirt Of Recognition from Larry. 
I thought that was well deserved and fairly brilliant.

Yep - that was great. I was honored and humbled.
Gotta get back out and get some pics with that one on.

Note; Bright orange represents the path "Traffic Cone" took. >:D

Subtle ain't I?

Larry said some really nice stuff about Aaron too. :)

Then...Aaron proceeded to win half the raffle items.

You da man Aaron! Very cool how far you've taken your climbing in such a short time :)

How do you know if you did the Burnette or not? We went as straight up as we could from the belay after going around right to the first bolt. Didn't spot any other bolts, but it seemed pretty wicked for 5.6...

There is a picture of Roper leading the 2nd...above the belay.

I'm not worthy.

Oh, and the weekend's only tragedy (the death of an old, old friend):

Well, well well, you're pretty quick on the draw. Vicki approved. And she just ordered one for me and one for J.C. And then she also ordered one for you  ;D

Cool one, and sinister. Candycorn horror.
Causing trouble when not climbing.

Thanks John you are right there with me!  I think my luck just had to do with the amount of tickets I bought.
