Ran a lap on SE Corner yesterday with Dennis H (thanks!) and a friend from out of town. Marveled at the white sand beaches on the island below (exposed by low H2O level), mama bear and cub on the train tracks, herd of elk in the slough, and falcon hitting pigeon right by the belay stance. No wind to speak of, glorious sun, and no BNSF trains all day. Then we met the mayor in the parking lot. Friend bought Dennis's shoes and is now asking me about books to learn about trad climbing ... hooked!
