Beautiful stuff.
What a great outing and I see that scuffy left no chimney unclimbed between his rose sniffing orgies. Where is that ELEPHANT? That's awesome.

Those pictures turned out great. Golden Gate!

Such a trip . . . in such a town . . . with such a guide! Can it really be almost 40 years since I left "home?"

Thanks for the TR and for the memories.

I was at indian rock Tuesday afternoon and it was an absolutly perfect spring day. T-shirt weather. Mortar rock was redolant of pre-blooming things you guys could probably identify.

I gotta check out the Elephant!

Cool elephant! I'm going to go check that out. Way to go, stopping to smell the El Capitan rose. Even um... treehugging!

Nice! I'll have to check out that Elephant.

Ooh ooh, I know where the skeleton is! And I think it has a saxophone, not a trumpet....

There's something wrong with this otherwise excellent TR.

No photo of Miss Autumn Rose, with the heffalump or Scuffy.

That's a San Pedro cactus that those glasses are on. Cut it down and harvest the mescaline!

MAR,
Apparently you like squirrels. They're good climbers, too.
At least when they get out of the gym...

There once was a climber named Scuffy
Who dreamed of a fling with a toughie

Jimson he said
Went straight to my head

And now I'm estranged with a lovely.

Scuffy B is a Class act.

Great Tour of Bezerkland, complete with a summit.

So what we all really want to know is whether Steve is now in a witness protection program, a fugitive from Largo?
