Wow I have touched rock that was once touched by noneotherthan the Dr. himself. I will not wash my hands from this day to eternity.

"I will not wash my hands from this day to eternity."

 

Well, that's sound medical advice in any case.

 

Also, the Doctor may be at Smith this coming weekend, in case you'd like a photo and autograph for your scrapbook. Autographed Dr. Flash Amazing Inspirational Calendars (wall size, desk size, and day planner available) will also be for sale, as well as advance copies of DFA's new book 'How to Become a Hard Rollin', Pimp Strollin', Bad-Ass Sports Climbing Machine with Way-Ripped Abs in Just 12 Weeks'. Should be quite an event; just watch for the flash bulbs going off.

I will try to fend off the admiring rabble to improve my odds. It would only be responsible to alert the Nat'l Guard of your arrival.

Stayed up all night to watch horror movies, TR in spray. Spent the rest of the weekend recovering from staying up all night. I've discovered how to get that forced bivy feeling without leaving town.

Went to the 'Gunks for three days of wet weather. The highlight of our trip was climbing Shockley's Ceiling in the dark with water running down it. It is a truly spectacular climb, named for a four foot roof, followed by a vertical corner and another step around an overhang, rated 5.5 or 5.6. They don't make 'em like that around here! Here's a photo I found with Google:

I think the gunks has the most amazing collection of "easy" climbs on the planet. Easy in the rating sense, they're sure not giveaways for the uninitiated.

I seem to be developing a stutter, gotta be more careful with the chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Sometimes I really, really hate my work schedule.

Hiked to Snow Lake (just to the saddle, actually) with my kids, plus about 3 out of every 4 residents of the Puget Sound region, plus all their dogs. But better that people bring their dogs on a busy trail like this one, where any self-respecting snafflehound is miles away.

Had an unexpected chance to hike at Rainier today when a Dept. of Health meeting in Olympia got canceled. I was definitely not dressed for hiking, but I blew 6 bucks for a pair of beat up sneakers at Value Village. Did a loop from Longmire to Van Trump Park, back down past Comet Falls to the road, ran a mile down the road to rejoin the Wonderland Trail back to Longmire. Huckleberries and vine maple are aflame. No snow yet. Only got one blister. The sneaks will go directly back to Value Village for another round.
