I'm sorry I can't make it, but will be thinking of Bruce. Please give my condolences to Em, and greetings to all friends who will be there.

Em asked me to post this info about camping at Brutus' memorial this weekend:
Check in at Lone Pine Campground regarding camping space: that will be our base of operations. We have space reserved for 51 people (about half of these are walk-in tent sites) which I think should accommodate everyone who's RSVPd on Evite, with some spaces left. I'll make a list of our sites and post it on the Lone Pine campground bulletin board. (or on Supertopo if I get it together tonight, arg!)
For overflow, Tuttle Creek is all first-come first served and there are a couple of first-come sites at Lone Pine CG. We could send scouts to Tuttle Creek on Friday to see how crowded it is, and reserve a couple of sites if Lone Pine CG is full.

Mike,
Are you bringing a Kodak projector? I was going to bring one but if you have it handled I'll leave mine at home.

My buddy and I were planning on being up there this weekend. Planning on doing something either on LPP or the next valley over. We will probably run into some of you guys at the Stone House.

Mooch,
It sounds like the museum does allow alcohol. Yeah, I imagine we'll all be up at the campground by 7am on Saturday morning.

CU soon bump.
mooch...I thought your post said you were bringing your Temecula wife.
Since we won't get there in time for the Stonehouse hike/memorial, would someone please update the time to meet at the museum if you are still online and know?
Many thanks.

There should be a ton of pictures from this weekend - what a great time.
Hiking in Friday to do some work on the place, we got our first glimpse of the house with Lone Pine Peak in the background:
Skip cooling her heels in the creek after the approach:
I couldn't help it:
View from one of the West windows:
Skip painting:
Me reinforcing the frames on the windows and doors:
When we got back down we decided to hike around and check out the area around the Whitney Portal parking, as neither of us had bee up there. The waterfall:
More to come.

Bump for an amazing weekend...
Some of my favorite moments:
Mike O pulling the Brutus on me: I forgot to bring any beer up on Friday, and he whips out the excellent IPA to my Natty Ice craving.
That's what Brutus would do.
Bruce's brother Tim retold the story of Brutus recruiting a friend in Alaska to follow a creek to the ocean and be back the next day before the family's flight out.
This trip was spearheaded by Bruce, age 3. They made it to the ocean and were found tired and dirty.
When asked after the "rescue" (circa late 50's/early 60's? in AK), what he thought might happen to Bruce if he hadn't been found, his father replied:
"Proably taken a nap and headed back up the creek, and been home in time for the flight."
I laughed and I cried.
Post up, people.

We went to the film and slide show. It was a wonderful tribute to Brutus. So many really great folks gathered together to remember him...such positivity and caring. It was a special night.
Pat Brennan cracks me up like no one else. He gave a one of a kind slideshow of their northern Cascades escapades.
Jerry, thanks for the film and the defacto hosting. Well done.
Em - he'd be so proud of this weekend. I wish I'd been there for the Stonehouse.
Unfortunately I didn't take many pics at the film show so here's just a few from the weekend.
The setting: the film museum in Lone Pine, I kind of blurred it on purpose:
Two of my favorite climbers & Supertopians (Jaybro & Dingus):
Another museum shot:
Looking towards Whitney while climbing Premiere Buttress today:
She's so beautiful. Loved the slideshow on Brutus' "Hairline" route on Whitney Saturday night. What a great tribute to Bruce & Em. Here's a pic of Whitney today;

Still up - want to add pics from Saturday, but not many words right now to express the amazing gathering of spirits.
Oh, and I made Skip onsight that 5.8 on tall wall for breakfast:
Edit: Great to meet you too, Jerry! We went to the area by Gunga Din for a couple of routes, then headed home...
