Go to see everyone one up at Brads. It was a good day and definitely worth the drive. Had not seen Vicky or the Dawson’s for quite some time. Was a good day of climbing at second quarry.

Glad you got out and had fun

What a pleasant surprise to open the door and there's a Mud Rat wearing a down jacket and a huge smile.

And to watch you moving on granite; admit it or not, climbing on granite is still (obviously) second nature to you.

We were headed south on 49 and got lost amongst wineries. Fortunately we saw a sign.

pretty funny clink.

@Brad, yep it felt good. Definitely 30 years on granite has had an influence. Kind of surprised myself out there. Need to go back and get a lead or two...

Mud, we'll be here. If it would help you to visit more often, I can send you a map that will show that we are directly on the way when you drive from the Bay Area to Washington.

Clink, Before she left, Kat showed us a photo on her Facebook: all six of your girls in one shot? All six made it to one weekend? Now that must have been a rare pleasure.

Brad, yes, all of our girls and grandkids.

Oh, and riddle me this anyone who was not there:

Mr. Mud and I both climbed a three star route called Shake and Bake yesterday. How could we have done this?

Nice to see mr mud getting out.

For us, it was Monterey to chill out.

It was great to see you Mud!

Mud leading Mel's Diner - it gave me a good feeling to see these two climbing together.

good times

Gavin finally got Pangaea done today (four pitches, 5.10c ***). I'd forgotten how really, really good that one is (I'm tired and he seems to be too).

Plus he got in a lead of Travels With Charlie (5.10c **), a fun route I put up last season with Tom Addison (it's named in honor of a beautiful red-faced girl - one Charlotte Young).

Good day.
