Nice. Beats a tuxedo and a ride in a limousine as a way to celebrate. What route?

There's some kind of surveillance setup in El Cap meadows monitoring everyones moves.

Some guy in a van, and probably works for the CIA or something.

He's got a couple of telescopes and tells tall tales here nightly.

Watch out man ......

Thanks guys, thanks SS. Thanks Mike. I'll probably give you a buz to meet up for a drink in HB before I take off.

I've died once or twice before. I suppose this would be a time to do it again. I'm thinking of ZODIAC as an intro to elcap. I'm open for suggestions though....

I've got some partying to do first for a few days before I head up there.

Looking forward to photos and a well written TR. And to think that some students don't believe that writing skills come in handy in the real world!
