I know there are some teachers out there who go (or that some of you even went when you were a lad/lass).

El Cap and the puff the magic dragon.


Here is a link... I was too lazy to reload all of them all over again...

Going on a stroll.

No snow, decent day temps but damn freezing at night!
There was a wind storm so they upgraded us to the LODGE! WahoooO!

I've been 16 times and that was a first!


My YI instructor was a climber so it was pretty cool hanging and talking. He was awesome with the kids.

BIRDERS... I saw a bald eagle below half dome and a peregrine molesting a hawk by El Cap meadow, and a Pileated Woodpecker near Chapel Wall.

Fun times... hope this brings back memories!

It's always nice to see the youth enjoying and learning about their national treasures.

Cool Tom. I was looking out for your group over the weekend, but we were on rock most of the time. Yes, damn cold at night.

We followed a bobcat around camp 4 for a bit as he stalked a squirrel.
