honesty at Vantage

[builder206]

Saturday I left my camera by the path at Tomato Wall. 4 hours later, I realized it was gone. Walked back – there it was – someone had picked it up and put it on a rock out in the open by the trail so it would be easy for me to find. I bet *at least* 100 people walked by it and left it alone, knowing (of course) that eventually the guy who left it would be back.

 

I had 3 days’ worth of photos on it that I had not yet downloaded.

 

Very nice.

This story made me postpone my vengence against the human race for 1 week.

Thank you R-b.

This story counteracts my experience seeing a dumbass chick toss her beer bottle in the middle of the walking path, sweep up the glass shards in a small pile, put a rock over the top of them, and calling it good. Awesome stuff that.

It does feel like I'm seeing more glass shards there.

Thats why I bring aluminum cans when climbing. That and when you're done you can compress them to take up less space. Light and fast!

Hey John,

 

Since you're looking at this thread, what are you doing wednesday?

Walgreens has a beer called Big Flats. $2.50 for a six pack (cans). Cans are awesome cause you can crush them and put them in your pack. But at that price, I don't care if my partner or the party next to us bums one off me.

Great, my group hug for higher ideals turns into a sinkhole for drunks. The cc.com leveling effect.

Er, I would've put your camera on a rock and left a beer too!

Oops! You're right. My bad! I've come across more good people than bad out there. Your story reminds me of early this spring of passing a rock on the way back to the parking area. Someone had placed a brand new pair of mythos on it, no doubt in search of their owner.

Sorry but for all my years of living in Ellensburg I used vantage as a training ground - for both climbing and drinking.

No big, I was laughing when I wrote it. I was off >18 months with rotator cuff tears so now anything about climbing puts a big grin on my face. It's all good.
