Yeah Todd, I was supposed to be there also. I was in town, but you didn't leave a message as to your whereabouts at the place that you said you would leave it.
That's cool, I realize that you are Re-Todded!
It was Jeep Week and I was out of there! I craved sushi in Telluride at Euphoria, but that didn't work out either. They were closed, so I went to Honga's.
Then on to Boulder.

Hey Joe. You guys must have done "Errett Out", "Bit by Bit" and those other routes in that area. We put those up about 4 or 5 years ago. I hear that they are getting popular. Pretty fun stuff!

Tufa towers, yes. I can't think of his name, but it will come to me.
Errett took the photo, I wasn't there.

Blitzo, we were up on your balcony.
A couple of the new routes put up by John Shewchuk, George Ridgley, and Lucho Rivera take off from "Blitzo's Balcony".
Together with B-law and Grant, those bad boyz have put up a plethora of fine moderate lines that will make Dozier one of the most popular destinations for a long time.
I would recommend to do them before a revised taco comes out next year and you have to take a number.
great job on Bit x Bit and erret out as well.

First time I met Grant, I'd just moved to the valley... I'd only been there a few days and was sitting on the tailgate of my Blazer, waiting for a friend to show up for some climbing. I see Grant get out of his Tacoma, parked in the SAR parking... He walks over, we say "hi", he asks if I want a sandwich and sits down next to me. We eat sandwiches, talk about climbing, El Cap, etc... and then go our separate ways. Always thought that was super cool. Of course, I ran into him daily after that, either in the valley or at Nelli Deli.
Good memory.

Not Claude, It still hasn't come to me. He was good friends with Sean Plunkett, Errett, Rustler, Grant, Fred Feldman, ect. He drove a green station wagon with the "BENOS" logo on the doors. It will come to me.

Cool Joe. Maybe I can get up there in late August or Sepetember, but I'll have to be in disguise!

No, it wasn't Greg. I still can't remember. He's also in the photo at Lee Vining Store. It will probably come to me in the middle of the night.
Chicken Skinner, can you help?

Blitzo,
I don't remember his name. As far as the reflection goes, it could be me or it is Grants friend Bo. That was a while ago.
