Winter Gathering 8.5 a success!

I showed pictures of the trip to friends and one person said that I was "hard core"...funny, what would they say about you folks?

Nahhh. WHen I got back on Tuesday (monday was not a holiday here), they just said, "In the mountains again?" They've given up saying ANYTHING to me anymore.

Hey david. It ain't gonna be a year. Bet you a beer I'll see you in less time than that.... Uhhh can I convince you to come up for some trailwork with teh 46ers? Your little furry friend is welcome too.... as long as he doesn't try anything kinky. We're all straight arrows.

David, I don't know how to break this to you, but you know that "you folks" you just mentioned? It's "US" folks. Like it or not, you're one of us!

Wow!! Go & Vo can't believe the spectacular views from the campsite.
So sorry we missed yet another goodtime. We had to babysit donna
for the weekend (someone had to do it).
Actually we had some of donna's family for the weekend.
They are wild and crazy people!!! Had a GREAT time with them.
Glad to hear everyone had fun.
