A special nod to my friend in Oregon, who probably got a bigger laugh out of this fairy tale than anyone else!
Thing is, she thinks it's fiction.........
Just wait til there's little loin skin wearin' Buggs and Survivals runnin' around in those hills!!

Unforgiven-
I'm sure Buggs and Survival have something salty you can lick.

Tami- AGREED!
When you distill the experience down, and weed out all the extraneous crap, it's all about getting out there with your friend- throw in a dog, a summit,a beautiful view...and there you have the essence of climbing.
There will be other days for hard pulling, and pushing yourself.
Thanks guys.

Survival: Great trip report. Something is added to the adventure when you are searching.
Having a pet or rubber chicken in the photos helps my viewer interest too.
I've always been attracted to obscure desert mountains in the middle of nowhere.
Now I know why-----tribes of wild babes.

Thanks a million gang.
I knew I wanted to get a bit more creative than, Buggs and I hiking some 4th class desert peak, and we were joking on the way up about this.
I knew this crowd could appreciate!!

I don't think you are kidding.
The name “Cabezon” is derived from the Spanish noun “cabeza,” meaning “head,” and “Cabezon” translates as “big head.”

Buggs ran into the old miner again at the bar last night.
We've got a new map!!!!
However, it's a new tribe also. But they have the same problem, and they also live on a mountaintop.
That old miner is an amazing guy.
This time we'll find them for sure......................

Best trip report since Winnie the Pooh went for the North Pole.
Went exploraneering out back of North Vancouver once and got much closer to Rae Dawn Chong than you guys ever did, but had no dog of our own and less personality than yours.

Wandering up the approach, sitting on the belay ledge, there is always so much more going on in our heads than the usual stuff that goes into trip reports. I love to see you, Survival, getting into the other aspects of the experience, and stimulating the minds of other supertopians.
