No one is bivouacing in the picture.
There's a guy in the white shirt holding a briefcase.
The kind of briefcases spies use.
I think he's a secret spy type.
All the rest are double agents or the other side spies.
They are having a meeting to see who knows what?
These spy meetings seem to always occur in a parking lot.
Maybe they know his birthday and are celebrating?

Wow!! All you guys. I'm not worthy; but I did get another year older...( not too bad for a tree)
Thanks for all the well wishes and all the old photos; and Boo, Thanks!
Oh, on our trip around the Whites we encountered too many scorpions, up after a winter's nap and an uncanny amount of ant nests warming to the Spring sun.

Bump for the good old days when life was truly a beach bivouac.
Thx, Ken.

This was the occasion of LIAB's first visit back to YV in over thirty years, if not more. His amiable and well-traveled sidekick on this trip was none other than Don Lauria.

Nice mouse...I’m in Pakistan just back from revisiting a special valley I first saw forty years ago. Forty years was the human lifespan for millennia...it still represents a large chunk of a person’s passage. To be friends for fifty plus years is special and not something everyone gets to experience....enjoy!

You'd think after 56 years of laughing, drinking, hiking, and climbing with Russie Poo (as opposed to Dennie Doo)that I might remember his birthday, but I didn't and I haven't over the years. But then, he probably doesn't remember mine either. So what? Happy birthday Russel, yes Russel, not Russell.
