Yeah, I have to count to 1 gizzilion to keep my sanity and patience down when winding around behind a slower driver on the Priest Grade. So not much to add on that front, but I do want to ask if anyone know why it is closed?

The Goat dug it out (and I recall he did hit rock), and I am sure we can find a picture of the area showing it is on top of rock as Mike says. We certainly were not on a cornice. I have to tell you that breakfast there on this bench was memorable due to the gorgeous backdrop (and the company of good individuals we are accustomed to traveling with). While we ate, I watched as huge chunks of iceby Catalonian Burro - General Discussion

This article stirs up my memory on something I saw and read. I am not a biologist so I will do my best to describe this in my mediocre understanding: Do a search for Dr. Hans Larsson of McGill University up in Canada. Saw some of his work featured on KQED one night. Basically he has taken chicken embryos and injected proteins that inhibited certain genes in the DNA from turning on a given timeby Catalonian Burro - General Discussion
I shared this with Dale the night he headed up there but I think, Roland, you may like it as well. Enjoy this bit of footage of Ansel and friends: http://www.sfmoma.org/multimedia/videos/114 I don't know if this Burro can get his knees up and over that one spot that was mentioned to me.

Mike, Nearly twelve hours with this cwazy bird was quite enough. You would have made it so much more fun- so, yeah, you were missed.
