mad bump for dawn, ricky d, and papjoto for helping nature out so much all week with rolling and dishes and such - way cool of you all...and doug - yummmmm...
i think the park should give out copies of that 'everybody poops' book to tourists...maybe help explain that the poo paper goes in the bathroom and not behind every tree ;-)
the park was much cleaner this year though - Very Nice to see that. Thanks Ken !

Not sure that Ana or Hardman should be able to post here..... LOL
They weren't there, even though prior to the lift they were all about it!!!! LOL
What happened?
Hearts fell when we found out the news that Ana and t*r/SS were not showing.... Or was that just mine?
As for HK.. I've heard enough about this guy to make me think that I was lucky that he didn't show (tongue in cheek).. Missed ya
But still, I was hoping to meet many new folks on this trip, have to settle for what I got, which was plenty of fun, much pain and gallons of sweat, and a few new faces to go with the online name!
Thanks Nita for being so helpful in all areas..
Thanks Lynne for showing up even when your mind told you not to! See, you can have fun too! Next time, we won't give you another tattoo! LOL
Khanon - Niuce to have met you.
Jaybro - Glad to have met you again - (Side note:About Genorator Crack on Sunday... Turns out I don't know where it is! Sorry I missed out.
Blinny - Thank you for you songs and stories. Fun times
Bluering, A.Crowley, Chris Mac, C Skinner, and all others I've met/spoken too and held court with during this Facelift... Thank you!
This was more than an opportunity to help in something bigger than myself. This was medicine for a single conscious soul.
And even if your name was not mentioned here, you've probably impacted my life in someway that I may never be able to either express or repay.

O.k., I didn't take as many pics this year but here some I did take. I think buddy Ezra probably has more I'll have to get from him.
Someone bought the kids some 'light sticks' that glowed in the dark and the adults got a hold of them. Here's Peter.
Around the fire (I'll need help with names again). That's Jake (frisbee) with the lightsticks in his hair, Jillian in the middle and Angela far right.
Pennsylenvy bottom left, Andy with the guitar, Fatty far left, Lynne in the blue shirt.
I know this guy's name, the one and only Crowley (Matt).
Me and Happiegirl
My friend Ishun in the blue jacket.
Strider in the green shirt, Ed on the far left, JoeyF in the middle
Ed and Dave (Brass Nuts) on the far-right talking.
Late night bouldering with Peter

It was great meeting & chatting with you & Andy,
Dawn & Ricky D, Happie--I'm so happy you're puppy's doing
better--keep us informed, Strider, Buggs, Matthew (Crowley--awesome chatting with you), Ed, JStan (good to see you after all these years), and lastly, Fatty you chicken head--afraid
me & MisterE were going to tar & feather you with Obama stickers, so you stayed away until I left!
(of course it's always good to see Dave & Crimpie, and it was
too short of time to talk to you John Moosie)!
I was lucky enough to see the Patriarch Grove and Schulman Grove
of Bristlecones outside of Bishop on my way back (a dream of mine for years). I'll try and post pix later.
Oh yeah, we waved to El Cap-pics on our way out,
Ken Yager, what an organizer! Great job!!!!!
EDIT
Ooops!
I forgot to thank Nature, Ricky D, Papajoto, and Dawn and all of
the wonderful people who worked so hard on the sushi part Thursday when I was there. . . MMMMMMMM Goood!

Hell of a trip and it was great to meet all of you. It is strange to think that I have known some of you one way or another for 4+ years and finally have had the chance to meet a lot of you.
Really too many people to shout out to, everyone was so friendly and ready to help out and volunteer for the park, it helps renew my faith in our little community. No theft, fights, jail time or major injuries for any of us, just a bunch of people doing good things and having a good time doing it. Thanks to Ken for all his work.
So all you guys who don't post up much (like me) get in here and say hi so all of us know your user name. That way we can get email addresses and set up grand climbing epics together!

Andy started this thread with some of his pics so here's my shout out.
I stole this shot from Riley's "I love Werner" thread because Tim's harmonica playing was so entertaining. I was spotting him so he wouldn't fall into the fire.
Chiloe, thanks for the spicy salsa; delicious and thoughtful.
Thanks to Tim and Crimpy for the harpoons.
Perfect weather, good company. It was wonderful meeting new people and seeing new and old friends. Of course a big thank you to KEN,Katiebird, Nature, Ricky D and Dawn for all their hard work at the Facelift and at Yellow Pines.
Shout out to Lynne, Riley, Jingy, Steve W, Moosie, Strider, Jillian, eKat,Dan, Dave, Jake, Peter, PapaJoto,Casey,Buggs,Nefarius, Joe, the Fishy family, Anita, Greg, Happi and all the folks I met last year and reconnected with.
Still on a facelift high!
ps. I think that's the DR's nose on the left side of the pic.;-)
pss..Mr Allen?, thanks for taking care of the recycling!!

Facelift was great. I finely got to put faces to names. I met lots of good folks and wish I could have been there for the weekend because I missed getting to meet a few people. Maybe next year.
Fatty trolled me good on friday night. He told me Palin was flying into the park on sunday in a helicopter to show her support for the environment. I bought it hook, line and sinker and pissed and moaned about how flying into yosemite valley on a helicopter for a photo op was just so wrong.
Me hooked. haha..
Thanks Fatty.. I owe you one. :-)
