Hey! It's RuMR's relatives!

The idiocy of this is only exceeded by the audacity of the claim.

A buddy and I wanted to put up a free route on the NE face back in '95, but we both chickened out on the aid climb.

Helluva Job. Hard push, difficult and dangerous. Awesome.

Nope, Grad student from Purdue - her last night. I must admit things were with me: windy night, full moon, lots of Makers and Quiddler, a few episodes of CSI... and what do you know? Good to meetcha Will. I hope you get a call from a certain aid-climbing hottie that knows you - I mentioned you were in town, and she seemed psyched! (nudge, nudge)

The artwork is black frame: Artist's proof from Phillip McCracken of one of his metal sculptures, with calligraphy by a Local Poet: If I keep a green bough in my heart, a singing bird will come Chinese Proverb The other is an 1887 Thomas Moran etching print looking at El Cap and Half Dome. Taken from the original metal plates submitted to Roosevelt that lead to making Yosemite a Park.

It's The OJ bottle with the "P" on it.

Probably on the Riverfarm in Van Zandt with my Robert Louis Stevenson and Poe book sets.

It's about 85% done, but I am done for now. 250 hours later: Oh, and a woman felt the POWER of the van already, and stayed with me a night in Joshua Tree. That hardly ever happens.... Howdy from Flagstaff! (Bookmans, free internet/used bookstore. My first real find here) :wave:Erik

IT'LL NEVER GO!

Pindude: I got a copy of the picture and it says "gearing up for third ascent of the nose" right on it. Course, being one, I don't remember PERSONALLY....

Orygun R Warshinton Plates? Color? Brian: thanks for the offer, but mah digits be itchin' for some grainy granite!

Glen Denny is publishig a book on the history of Yosemite, due out in 3 months. Lots of great pictures and stories. I had to sign a release cuz there's two pictures of me at Camp 4 in there from 1965!! One I am standing on a rock in oversized boots, and another I am studying a chestnut intently. Also, one of Mom and Dad with Mark/Bev Powell, Layton Kor and Steve Roper (1963) getting geared up for the 3rd ascent of the Nose. You can see a grubby little one-year-old arm sticking out of the side of the picture... Guess who??

I am moving to Flagstaff. You are welcome in my shaggin wagon anytime. 8D :blush:E

, WORTH THE WEIGHT??? Girl, you gonna have to head South 10 hours to see me! :moondance: :brew:E

I AM SPRAYING FROM MY VAN RIGHT NOW. SKIDDING IN THE MARINA PARKING LOT WITH CLEARWIRE! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

I HEAR TIED-OFF TAUNTAUNS WORK GREAT FOR RESCUES FROM 1/2 MILE DEEP CREVASSES. PLEASE FORWARD THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO YOUR LOCAL SAR.

Leaving Sunday! See you gapers on the 26th!

I would just like to point out that there are many members of this board with under 100 posts that have been here for years. They just don't spray, they write excellent TR's and thoughtful posts. I have wayyy more respect for them than those that spew crap to gain "100 post" status.

Everyone here knows what my toughest climb was. Thanks again Mike, for the hairball experience. It changed me for life.

See that dull reflection in your monitor screen? Therein you will find your answer.

There's a hole in the bucket, Dear Liza

Tied off on Fisticuffs!
