Yes, Anders, that's the Howsers.

Keep all the great pictures coming, folks, my eyes need a good alpine scrubbing.

Very nice, its prompted me to change my tactics. I will now go to monster.com and post a resume. I have got to get over there. The swell has dropped today both north and south.
Aloha,
wil

I would post a nice island mountain photo but I have none hanging online.

Wash your spirit clean
Give away the things you don't need
Let it all go and you'll soon see
And you'll wash your spirit clean

Go and pray upon a mountain
Go and pray beside the ocean
And you'll wash your spirit clean

Be grateful for the struggle
Be thankful for the lessons
And you'll wash your spirit clean

Not an alpinist, but I've definitely often been blown away by nature's beauty. This thin layer of life on our planet is so rich and hosts so many beautiful forms and sights, we are definitely lucky to be here.

My backpack once got blown away by the wind at the start of a 2nd pitch in La Huasteca (near Potrero Chico), but that was altogether different.

And Melissa, that IS pretty.

All nice pictures, thank you.

(I need to search for some thread about posting pics.) Edit: Thanks Anders! Gotta start scanning...

Top of Tenaya is always a sweet place Melissa and that view is one of the best in the whole Sierra.

The look on my then 8 year old daughter when we topped out on the Half Dome cable route.... An easy hike for full sized people, but a magical introduction to mountain accomplishment and satisfaction for her. She was at that awkward age – her favorite Mickey Mouse buddy made the top with her, garroted to the back of her pack.

The Mountains with my wife. Nothing Better. If it were easier to post photos, I would share.

Until someone who actually knows what they are talking about corrects me, I am going to assert that the earth is
as it is because of at least two factors.
First the number of solar masses possesed by the stars that originally created the materials composing the
earth. And two the present tectonic activity still taking place in the earth. When we stop having mountains you
had better have transport arranged to get you someplace else.

Cheers,
