Welcome to the 73 arena Ron....we should tie in together sometime and see what a 146+ year old rope can do. Happy B-day from Patagonia!

Just read your correction Ron.....76 eh, my hat is off to you in a very big way!

Hats off, Ron, from a 73 year old who was a few grades behind you in school and is still a few grades behind you now!

Enjoy!

Thread titles cannot be modified. So, Ron, you will just be stuck at 73, I guess. Well, you are defying this aging thing anyway.

Mad props to the proud lead, Ron! Big hugs to you and Liz!

Andy2,
Cool photo, but which Parkline?
This is not the one in the Yosemite guidebook - the road is between it and the river.
Or did you intend to upload a different photo with this caption?

Clint:
I know it's not Parkline Slab. It was my feeble idea of a joke. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

But where is it?
