Hi All:
There are great shots that bring back so much.....God, were we having fun!
Love to Gypsy, and I continue to miss my best climbing partner ever: Randy Hamm.
I retain the little boat in a bottle he made for my Yosemite wedding, and I still smoke the rare pipes of his you sweetly bequeathed to me.
Love, Mark McPherran

Sierra Ledge Rat, A bigger enlargement of the bulletin board photo would be cool. The original looks pretty legible otherwise.

In the camp four pic of all the notes on the board I think I see one of Tami's rats in the lower right. Would be interesting to see a crop of that.
Looks like there are a few cartoons in there.
Edit: this is the best I can do. Notice the note on the green paper about the earthquakes continuing,, would be around 1980.
Also you can zoom in by holding the ctrl key down and hitting the + key. Zoom out same except hit the - key. I seem to remember the DLFA??

Good that some craftsmanship is still around to appreciate Kevin. The place has changed, but some things remain unchanged.
I've got some things near the summit of Cathedral and every year I go back and visit the site....never been touched by another being. Those things there get to enjoy the seasons and the views, east to west and north to south.
Peace

I too found my old campsite when I was in the Valley two years ago and it was also out of bounds.
I was only able to recognize it by the familiar boulders nearby. All was nostalgia for the best summer I ever had.

YO Punters, The rat in question on the camp 4 board was drawn by myself and was originally designed by none other then OLD Bill Russell himself. The fuk-nes rat was a mascot of the infamous DLFA(Devil,s Lake Fuk-nes Association)and was usually drawn holding a martini glass(international symbol of fuk-nes) This drawing can be found in the best and worst places thru out the world. For you laymen,fuk-nes is anything that can get you f*#ked up...usually but not limited to alcholic beverages and other items.
peace and fuk-nes. drink to puke. Steve S. x-dlfa (retired)

Here's a Camp 4 photo from negatives I'm finally getting around to scanning. 1962. He's so happy because one day he will be a millionaire.

Wow, if Brian Birmingham (Mouse) is still in this sphere, I'd love to know! I used to work with him in Berkley at the North Face!

Hey Tom. Not sure if you remember me but we crossed paths often back in the olden days. Last time (I think) I saw you was on Stone Groove. I recall you leading it...Alan Bard was there too. Mouse is still in the house...search Mouse from Merced.
Cheers! Steve Walstead

Wow! That was a while back, eh?
Yes, I remember that day. You still climbing?
Do you remember his friend Ike?
Great guys, they attempted to put me on the right path (regarding climbing) during my first climbs back in 1971!
Ash worth was another who stepped in and gave solid advice-he saw how green we were, he cared. Seller man.

I remember Ike. Ever since I started this thread, it's been a trip down memory lane, or maybe I should say a thrutch up memory crack. Getting older is a trip, but it does give an interesting perspective.
I'm not seriously climbing...bouldering a bit but I always tweak something trying to crank something I shouldn't be cranking...The term Armchair Mountaineer seems to fit me now.
Windsurfing and surfing are the big thrills these days. My rock rat youth is still vivid and I consider it a gift to have shared it with all my pals...we were (are) truly lucky f*#kers.
