Sounds like everyone had a good time as expected..really wish I could of been there but I have been having problems with my 15 yo daughter and being a single dad, things are not what they once were as regards to freedom..sometimes I would rather walk down skyline in 110 degrees with bamboo shards underneath my toenails and a camelback full of urine than have to deal with the complexities of parenthood..

Spoken like a true father! Hey, we can endure clouds of mosquitoes, food bag eating varmits, and blisters the size of the Sierras, but throw in a difiant child, and we go to hell trying to figure out what the right thing to do is. Homework? I don't need to do any stinking homework! Yikes, you have my sympathies. We could have compared notes during the hike. Hope to have that chance in the future.
