After my Yosemite trip last weekend I have a lot of info to share, but today I wanted to give a shout out to all the Facebook and Blog folks who I met along the trail. If you live near San Jose, join me for a local hike one day– I love Fremont’s Mission Peak. Come by REI Fremont Tues night; Berkeley Wed night, Dublin the 26th or Concord Aug 8.
Unrelated thought worth quoting: “In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” – Albert Schweitzer

Hey Rick! The two pictures you posted saying you need help are of my wife Sara and I. We had a blast on Saturday and thought it was great to run into you.

Thanks Alexei. It’s my “oldtimers” creeping in. Nice day for a hike. Congrats. We inhaled a large pepperoni pizza about 7 pm.

What a great place to meet you in person, Rick. We made it home about midnight safe and sound… But wiped out. It was a great day.

Don – you’re an animal. Gang – they drove RT from Sacto.
Sorry no group photo…I discovered that my camera was still on AUDIO RECORDING after chatting with the Wrights. I hope your group is jazzed and ready to go again next year. Have you done Clouds Rest – the new HALF DOME – no permits.

Yes. My group was definitely jazzed. It was a first HD summit for most of them. To see how “jazzed” we were, watch this short YouTube clip till the end. It speaks for itself.
