Came across this fun sign alongside the Merced river this weekend. Guest appearance from the great Bardini. Miss you Alan.


Custom dock, Bay of islands several years ago returning from Fiji on our boat. Dam, Allan gets around.

Here is my favorite picture!
Actually, it's from Carter's collection, but still my favorite so he will have to choose another. Ha ha.

Tobia no worries we ran into him and Don Lauria in the back country, the other fellow was their client, he was good friends with my husband. Thanks for the share.

Somewhere on the South Island of NZ, headed to Mt Ruapehu, stopped off for a quick pint but Bardini beat us to it.

When Allan and Carter got together it was like a comedy show. They could have gotten rich doing standup. No lie.

His greatest gift to me was introducing me to wine bouldering, which I have a feeling preceeded him by at least five decades. One winter I would pile in and go ski at mammoth with him and the crowd. He would hang back and give me lessons all day as long as I could more or less keep up with the pack. They were all on nordic skis. I'm from Oklahoma, and it showed. Whenever I talked to the other cat drivers on the radio at night, they all cracked up.

Last time I saw him was at Doug's wedding in Kirkwood. We all piled in and rented a full blown condo...splitting it a number of ways. He was just starting to get into whitewater.

I took my wife up the Owen Spaulding very late in the fall once. I was in my nike's and there was solid ice in the cracks. It would be easy to slip.

Be careful on the easy ground. It has claimed many.

Stories of those guys redlining the fun meter are endless.
While we are cross-linking threads, this one's been up again recently:

The last time I saw him, he was with a client in the Palisades. He squinted up and said, "Looks like 100% chance of sun showers today, Sam! Cheers!" I miss seeing him here in "the promised land"...
