Rich....I have some ectachrome you can have. It's a little old and you may have to search around for processing. No, you can't use it in your phone.

Jim, I was always a Kodachrome guy...but thanks for the offer. More to the point, I pay good tax dollars, so where are the back-country outlets for charging my iPhone?

Thanks L! Haven't seen you guys in what seems like a long time, I guess because I've shifted to the Poughkeepsie Gravity Vault. Let me know if you're ever up my way...

I just came across a picture that invites a comparison with the current ones. Dumais and I in shots about 47 years apart...
The old farts are still at it (apparently, wisdom is not always a byproduct of aging)...

Hey Rich,
Concerning your IPhone...I haven't been to the Tetons in a while but my recollection is that all of the backcountry lakes have outlets. Your tax dollars at work.

Well, Summer 2018 came and went. I had a nasty ankle injury (strain or partial tear of the superior peroneal retinaculum) that took me the entire Summer and Fall to rehab---had to give up climbing and trail running and most hiking in order to finally get the damn thing to heal up. Instead, spent my time in a gym doing rehab exercises and dumb things like
Although I think I did it trail-running, this is an injury climbers sometimes get from high steps on small edges with little or no assistance from handholds. If the retinaculum completely ruptures, then you get subluxation of the peroneal tendons and probably need surgery, a bullet I have dodged for the time being.
Its about 90% good now and I'm back exercising in the climbing gym and have managed some very short trail runs in the 2--3 mile range. I probably won't do too much outdoor climbing until it warms up.
All this is evidence of an old Jewish saying: "if you want to give god a good laugh, tell him your plans."

Since TMC mentioned Buck Mountain, here's a puddlescape I shot on the way down from the East Ridge,
and here is another wildflower vista from Coal Creek---both these from Summer 2017 but not in the previous sets.
