Lucky me lol
i couldn't believe what happened to me yesterday… as i took two steps into the General Store at Yosemite, i almost walked right into this guy (as the door wouldn't fit the two of us very well lol). we both stopped, i looked at him funny, he looked at me funny, and i said "hey! you're famous!" (yeah i know, brilliant thing to say lol)… i said "you're the best climber in the world!". he pulled a face and said "naw, i'm not famous"… then we laughed…
well, the guy was Dean Potter! (see him in video below):

anyhow… we both walked outside and i asked him if he would mind if i took his photo, he said sure no problem… STUPID me! all i had on me was my iPhone, i was only going into the store to buy a map, so i didn't have my good camera with me… and i was so celebrity struck, that i didn't take a photo of the two of us together! i couldn't think straight. lol
he asked me if i had been to Yosemite Falls that day and i said yes, that the falls were totally full… he said he'd have to make it over there sometime later that day… and for some weird reason, i asked "where do you live?" and he said "right here" i said "right here?? i thought you lived far away", he said "nope, live right here"… he asked me my name and i told him, he said "hey, it was nice to meet you forrest, i hope you have a great day"… he shook my hand was we parted…. he was soooo nice.. very humble kind of guy.
