Hey fatty,
I've got a great idea. Let's start up a business, your money and deep pocket connections with the Park Service, my proven track record at managing startups. We'll put a tram from the meadow to the top and charge $$$
Peter gets 5% equity for doing publicity. Jesse and Jake get 5% under the table which they can split. What good are parks if we don't monetize them?

Second from the right... Is that possibly Jerry Garcia? He gets my vote. What a great heart!


I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like. —Jerry Garcia

You should make an El Cap with the founding climbers....


Who would they be?
How about
 John Muir, for Cathedral Peak
 Royal Robbins and Warren Harding(next to each other on the monument, since they were far from "next to each other" in their climbing psyche
 Ray Jardine, for controversy(chipping on the Cap'n)

Yeah I agree Happie! There are a bunch of possible additional images. Time allowing and timing being the essence of all things, 'shall do.

This particular image is also about how Jesse and Jake and other NPSers were rappelling down and doing the Nose cleanups recently and repeatedly, plus toying with their various stony admonitions regarding the proliferation of nude fire ring dancing on the summit.

Fatty good one.

I should start my Comprehensive Plumbing Schematic for El Cap, don't you think?---nothing more fun than drain-waste-vent, ya know. And we have to plan ahead----already the situation is 'overloaded'. This plan would be kind of a second edition of those giant El Cap Topo posters http://www.diamondproductionstudios.com/elcap.htm

Also imperative to show how to bring the planned 24" main El Cap soil pipe down to North Valley Drive and picking up your El Cap Meadows Four Seasons Resort line as well, thence out of the Park to El Portal Treatment Center. Tami will do signage.

If MH gets on there, I'm copperheading right up the center of the Hudon Buttress!

Hmmm... it's going to be tough for me to remove copperheads from my own buttress...

I was just thinking that it had been a long time since we had seen any of your artwork.
I'm glad you're back!
