These reunions are really cool!
Here's Larry, a guy who I've known, as with most of these people, since we were all teenagers.
30 years ago, Larry, every Friday, would drive up to my high school in his Dodge Power Wagon and together we'd head out to Joshua Tree.
"Hey Tarbuster, get your bony asss over here and I'll give you a boost! Ha ha ha!"

Sweet Roy, the Pumpkin Patch was a REALLY cool new find. Fry is the man, was so glad he took us on the "hike", I'll fer sher be going back up there, like Tuolumne in Josh. There was this roof crack that should be a CLASSIC when it goes...got any shots of that in the pile(yes u do)? There is so so much new bouldering up there, but the approach oughta keep it quiet for a while longer...hopefully. Thanks for doing all the work and getting the shots up Roy Boy!
Peace

It was a beautiful day; the stone which Craig had shown us was proving to be terrific.
But it was getting to be time for our naps:

Okay, maybe one more problem...
It's a nice bouldering area with a little bit of everything.
There is plenty of easy warmup stuff, some nice highballs, and lots still on the table for them youngsters!
(last two photos, much thanks to Larry Stone)

Just see that red catcus. He's a real prick.
He sees Tarbusters ass over by that boulder.
That catcus prick will be working his way over there soon.

Here's a picture of the large face on Indian Head,

Saturday afternoon, before the big party.
Intersection rock, in front of the ski tracks with John Bachar.
How many of you remember the days when he used to solo that with a boler hat and tip it to the crowd after the crux?
