Ken, Thank you for all your hard work putting this event together, especially appreciated the shower passes, extra bear boxes and porta potties at Yellow Pines. Also thanks for all the coordianted events at the Visitor center (raffles, check in, weigh in, music, refreshments, sponsors).
It is such an amazing event that we now look forward to every year. You have given us an opportunity to give back to the Park that is home and second home to so many of us.
Going in to the climbing exhibit in the Yosemite Museum was a moving experience. After you take the show on the road to JT we hope you get permanent space in the Valley.
love and thanks, nita and andy

The symbolism begs for the appropriate witticism.

Memorable Moment: The glowing pride on Ken's face the ENTIRE time his son was up on stage during the Timmy O'Neil Show.
What a wonderful event. I am so glad I attended the Facelift. Can't wait for next year's!

Team Switzerland is now back home, and still enjoying a warm glowing feeling of all the people we met in Yellow Pines, and the great clean-up that Ken puts together. We will do all we can to be back next year!
Hi to all that we met, incl. Lynne, Greg and our other regular breakfast comrades.
Cheers
Pete, Sabrina and Finn.

Ken, was the dump site in Tuolumne the old horse camp ground? That place was a big dumpy mess, i used to hate walking passed it. If i recall correctly,it was defuncted in 1979-1980.
Pancake man Tim, Yep, we did miss having you and your family at the facelift. ;-(. You would of loved the griddle i brought to camp, you could easily crank down 16 cakes at a time.
