Definately The Valley. Yeah Golden is a great repository of significant artifacts, but it has as much connection to WH as the Dalai Lama has to Ketchikan Alaska.

Ron.....I remember seeing that Bat Tent hanging in Kyle's house on the wall!.....I think it was signed too by Warren. Kyle had Warren's pin collection as well........he showed me a box of pins he said he got from Warren... he told me to take a couple of handfuls if I wanted.... so I took some.... I still have a few of them, but most ended up fixed somewhere in the desert;....where someone else can clip into a small piece of history.....(And I hope all is well with you too, Ron....your kindness to me on my trips trips through Zion have always been greatly appreciated......thank-you.). I had dinner at Warren's a few times with Kyle when Warren lived in Moab. He was always fun, very funny, showed slides, cooked a great dinner, and always faded to a sleepy ol' dude at evening's end.......had to wake him up to say good-bye on the way out of his house, and he would wake up to gurgle a warm heart-felt see-ya-later. He's the Man.

Piton Ron,
You may remeber me as the guy, laying on a bear skin rug in Sibley's house, circa '90, following the sno-bird comps.
I awoke from a slumber, only to stare straight up the barrel of a very large firearm, suspended from your wrist.
hmmm, I of course thought then, if, 16 years hence, this should happen again and I am asked to answer quickly and correctly:
"Hey mofo, what should be the final repository
of the last Bat Tent"
I'd say valley, valley...shite, take the gun away!
'Sides, fer example, I live in spittin' distance of Golden and I'm more likely to visit The Ditch, on any given day.
'K?

Laying on a bear skin rug huh? I don't remember jacking anyone on a rug, but there have been sooo many....
("Shiite take the gun away"? What are you talking about? I'm jewish!)
I think the Snowbird comps were '88 and '89. Where you there when I was deciphering that ultra-small print for Paul?
What's this about spitting on Golden?
That's yet another Coloradian for the ditch. Must be the thin air.
I'll have to check out the facility, but I haven't heard back from Yager.

Ron O,
I know, I'm such a party pooper.
I live in Nederland, which is just above Golden/Boulder.
Yer dates are more accurate, per snobird, but it may have been, more accurately placed after the Nationals at CU in Boulder. I was waking up from a cat nap; pretty wiped out from working the Comp. Its the only time we've met, more memorable for me obviously...
(I think you cut me some slack, pulled the barrel left/right a bit and just popped a few rounds into Sibley's floor to get my attention...you guys were trying to get me up to go to breakfast or something, then you both lost interest. I'm sure I just smiled and went back to sleep)
Anyhow, thats cool you have Batso's cocoon.
I remember hearing a story from Kyle Copeland, 'bout him driving his VW bug, up onto and over one of the Arches, (Landscape Arch maybe?) with Harding and Charlie Fowler as passengers.
They got the 'first on that maneuver.

Oh,
And Piton: off topic, but check out "Shooter" by Gunnery Sgt Jack Coughlin, USMC(sniper). Its a great read.
I recall, the Harding/Fowler/Copeland VW Arch traverse was done at night.

JayBro,
I was wondering if you were the same Jay Anderson. I still have some pictures of Tibor and possibly of you buried somewhere with my photos. Was that the same night that you turned into the Lodge Parking area instead of the road and rather than stopping and turning around you gunned it and we flew over the cement logs and landed back on the road at Yosemite Creek bridge? I beleive Tibor was hunkered down in the back of your VW bus.

Just got a call from Ken (chicken skinner????).
He made a good pitch. I'm going to inspect the facilities and then decide.

ken,
Yep same guy. Amazing that you remember that event that well from so long ago. I can still feel the impact of the wheels cresting the psuedo-log.
I do remember Tibor doing the duck and cover.
I'd love to see those pictures some day.

BTW, Ron, yes, I've been all over GOlden. I have a lot of family there. Great place to go if you're into expensive restaurants and road biking, (hey, sounds like Santa Barbara). I also toured the Coors brewery at 18 years old. Fun at the time.

Rokjox, watch that 6" stuff! We like to refer to it with a more climber oriented phrase, "vertically challenged".
