The lone guy in the 3rd pic up is Jay Johnson, world traveling and hard working.
He spent lots and lots of effort at the registration area,
riding countless laps to the recycling center and the dumpster on the bikes.
I had the pleasant experience of returning on the bus with Jay.
Also, jstan and Cathy rode to the Amtrak with us. See you next year!
Pleasant journeys to you, too, Jay!
neebee, thanks for the prayers, my friend.

MFM:
Call up YARTS first thing tomorrow. Tell them which bus you were on. They may be able to locate your camera before the bus makes its first run Tuesday. You went to the facilities in back once on the ride. I would guess someone found it there and turned it in.

jstan, I made that phone call the moment I came home.
My driver hadn't reported it found when he finished his run out to the north of town, but this only means he found it and didn't report it which is unlikely; or he didn't bother to look back there; or it may have slipped to the floor under a seat.
The person who took the particulars has my phone number and said that the cleaning crews work on the buses each evening and that they have a great deal to lose by not reporting lost items.
It's interesting that the last shot I made was a silhouette of you looking out the window of the bus at the top of the grade descending into Catheys Valley.
Thanks for the encouragement, and let me say that it was a pleasure to get to know you a bit better.

It looks like it was another great event. I really like how there are so many environmental/ecological restoration work days now.

Here's GLee's luggage. He took Amtrak from the Emeryville stop after flying in from Missoula. He's done this before, I could tell. He had this cool book with him, too.I was motivated to go as soon as I found a check in the mail. It had been in the mailbox since Saturday. I funded up and got out of town on the last bus that evening.NObody around camp and wanting breakfast, I walked over to the Lodge.It was freshly hidden under a bush. SOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a commute I'd love to have to make every day.I thoreauly enjoyed this time to myself, thanks to the One All Around Us.
It's great to be back and healthier than last year. Let's roll up our sleeves, shall we?

Looks like Mouse got his camera back!
On the way back the west shoulder of Rt 5 north of Pyramid Lake is loaded with trash for miles. Very tempting. No mattresses or sofas though. Ah well. Nothing is perfect.
Couple of photos Cathy got.
93ºF here in Santa Barbara. 81ºF in JT.
Great Facelift!

Sweet, Tony. That's the pic that Andy wanted of Isaac Simpson con El Grupo Stupo!
My only sighting of the Smoking Duck.
Werner scarfed this rubber mat. Waist knot and all that.
I'm sorry, so sorry, sorry for dissing you...

Big Shout-out to *Mr Ken Yager, thank you for putting together another fine, fun, worthwhile event.. I love attending the Facelift!
My three day trash total was only 15 pounds, but that's pretty good for mostly micro bits. I only found two diapers and way too many cigarette butts & nasty toilet paper wads to count.
Cold nights, cold mornings, coffee and good friends.. Great food at the Meatfest..Thanks Jeff!!
Mouse, Good beans!..Miss Lynda, the Salmon Queen.. My Sister~ Miss Lynne..I want your Chicken tortilla soup recipe and Miss Erin, please can i have your Curry lentil soup recipe, Please make it again next year!... Also, The park service woman who made the vegan cupcakes..double yum..Miss Susan's brownies,chocolate yum...
It was fun to finally meet the Mysterious~ Ms.Debby...she showed up one night and disappeared the next morning.....Did i dream meeting her?
Someone put a klean Kanteen in my bear box...Is anyone missing theirs?
Really Great hanging with all you guys and gals! .. (-;
Able Gable, next year>> No crutches..ok.
Saludos..
Nita
ps..Thanks H... and Allison...Dean, thanks for bringing the beer!

^^^Good one! sorry I didn't get to meet ye Nita:( but we may have bumped into each other?)
MAN, THAT CURRY WAS GOOD!:):)
Moose, I never really did know bout you, but I surely don't know now! Ha!
i think Eric Gable might be getting more done now on crutches than he did without! What a great job he did on precureing a spot and stoking every 9-90 year old who walked through there! and I heard breezes that the New Yosemite Guide is close to completion!!!!!
FACELIFT*
OMG! AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ive already planned for next year.. But history is still happen'in now! Just came from Doug Robertson's rip-roar'in, but humble view of the valley. And I'll never forget walkin thru the real Camp4 with Glen Denny.. and i can't stop thinkin bout Beth Rodden's supreme honesty.
Truely, i just saw way to many people working way hard to make this "thing", Yosemite Facelift proceed 110% i wouldn't know who to Thank first..
Thanks Everyone!
PS, Every climber should be investing into this!! and I'd say all that have are benefitting largely!

It is nice to connect faces with the people of the taco. One of these years i will make it to a facelift. i swore i would do it before i made 60, i missed that by a week.
Good to see Don Reid.
Thanks for posting pictures. i guess Ed H. no longer does the black and white "morning before coffee photographs", they are some of my favorites from years past.

after a disastrous encounter in a commercial "rental" photolab I haven't yet figured out how to develop B&W film at my home... until I do I'll probably wait to resume my portraiture in B&W. This year I was just simplifying life at the Facelift, bringing only my point-and-shoot and keeping the subjects simple.
