Climb and Crawl 2006

[BMAN]

Chris, I agree 110% that we need to get out and camp more often. Saturday made me realize that there's so much out there that I'm missing. Beyond the exercise (which we all know I can use), there's so much great comraderie(sp?) that I'm missing out on. I was thinking about it on SUnday. There's all these great people out there that I hardly know yet consider them friends. It's good to actually spend time with them and face to face and build those friendships into more than what they are behind a keyboard.

I can't tell you how much I envy those who can make the time to do the weeklong adventures all over the world. Hopefully someday I will be in a position to be able to do that. Until then, I need to make a concerted effort to get out more often.

Uwe is a happy man

:victory:

Thanks for those great pics Chris! I was a happy man indeed. That fly n' crawl/climb/hike/adventure concept is a good one:jumping:

I also made some great progress in the climbing. BTW, when I got home I found climbing gym brochures at the house and someone who was 'complaining' about the same sore spots on the back/arms as me. She had spent Saturday morning at the climbing gym:rappel: She wanted so see what kind of fun stuff I was doing. Now I'm in trouble.... for going by myself

I really wanted to go...But I have been too busy trying to make up for all the time off I took this winter. At least seeing pics of Kevin's truck makes me feel like I was almost there...

Don't know what you mean Kevin. That face was HUGE!

BTW, I forgot to mention that Chris (again, :bowdown treated me to the super delux fly-n-crawl package. The one that includes gourmet food and drink, not just any drink: (note for those who care: we actually had the 'Dunkel' Franziskaner)

Got to go to the fridge now and have a cold one; the seletion here at home is smaller though and I can only choose between the 2 in the top row....

Here's what it's all about:

Check out these rock stars. Yes, they went hat shopping together the night before:

Uwe and I came upon this fabulous blooming ocotillo on top the the crest between camp and Hackberry Creek. I had to go back before dark to get a shot of it:

:beer:

Brooke and I had a super time. Thanks for letting us in on the fun. We're grateful to know people like y'all.

Mark, going up there towards 'The End of the World' was well worth it, you got some incredible shots :Wow1:. I really like this one.
