BAD ASS CAUGHT!

Gotta love that PBowl area. Bo Oing or what ever its called was really fun with slammer hands. If you ever go back be sure to fire Sons of Liberty. Also make some time to check out the Mammoth Crest area - Pump up the jams - and bring the big guns.

Great TR bro. Good luck in the ditch. And remember, if problems arise - remember what Royal says - "It's just as easy to go down from a few feet higher".

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks much for sharing. You discovered the joys of pitch 2 of Thin Ice. I screamed every expletive in the book wrestling up that thing. Can't wait to get back there this summer. That reminds me, have to call my partner (another fat dad) to nail him down...

Moving to LA in three weeks, and the Needles is on the hitlist!

Been wanting to go for years - thanks for the bump and the psyche!

The Fet beat me to it, but: nice "rest days". LOL!

I saw and enjoyed this the first time, and it's still a great read a year or so later. Looking forward to Mr. E's TR when he gets there. See how much he like the second pitch of Thin Ice...I remember well the "I'm gonna barf" feeling...

Sorry dude. That is The Wizard. And the Witch is not in the photo, although you can see some of the West Face of The Sorcerer.

Better luck next time... ;-)

No Photoshop. Just the right place at the right time.
