Every two years we get visitors from Scotland, Tupper Lake, and New Hampshire. Phil, Egg Foo, Lindsay, Michael, and I had a wild night at the Fossil Cabin. Sauna, stories, sausage, beer, whiskey, and the sOunds of Selden's pigs snorting in their nearby pen, fueled a lively evening. While Michael, Phil, and Foo got lost on the trail to Balanced Rocks, Hock and Lindsay did some laps on the crag, where the former NCS amazon almost resorted to a knee on a 5.6 climb (Hock's Blessing) ... How far the mighty have fallen.
The crew was on their way back home, via Vermont and a celebration of "Joanie Baloney's" 50th ... Wendy and Beth will be in attendance ... And of course we made plans to meet in the Sierras next March.
