I should add that the High Sierra Camp in Tuolumne Meadows is very nice.

Not sure. You'd have to ask Mike.

O wait... he didn't stay at the TM HSC.
I think he might have stayed at the OTHER 5.

Valentine Goat, due to the heart markings:

(Sorry but if you want to talk about goats I totally got you beat, I'm a former goat farmer)

That's my mom holding the goat, BTW

Sorry...

Or, in goat speak,

Last time I was at Royal Gorge (around 1987), the incline ride was closed. But the cable cars were fine. Twenty people in the car, suddenly it stopped mid-gorge, car swinging back and forth while the operator pretended something was wrong.

I've had a fear of cables ever since.

You know, I have been surprised how unsettling it is to ride a chairlift at a ski resort down the mountain. It is the same trip, but when you can see the dropoff in elevation, very scary.

The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.

Yeah, it did suck, but we did get to see 2 people clipping in. Guy #1 took longer because he doubled up. The second guy was faster, and it didn't look too bad. I'll admit when I did HD, I did use a sling/quickdraw setup around my waist just in case, but I never felt I had to use it.
