Gee, too bad you don't have anything pretty to look at...Just kidding of course, the scenery is awesome! The pic of you looks like you're standing in front of a painting...looks like a fun, crazy and really a guy thing weekend!
Cool pix dad! reminds me of our trips up to upper priest. I saw Ken Brown's pix of your trip to the bob marshall wilderness. I want you to post some on the blogger!
Wow! Beautiful. Looks like a great trip. It occurred to me, though, that you should really rename your blog since you are never "home" and you really don't qualify as "old folks" with all your high adventure! :)
