Yosemite Falls Blasting Project[photoid=459798]
We all got letters of commendation from the Director Of National Parks and helicopter rides every day!
And we got to watch the explosion from the valley floor!

Rob, I couldn't find the Yosemite Library picture of Jose and myself on that blasting project. Any chance you could find it and email me a link?
Could that be the first time we were "forced" to wear helmets in Yosemite? Hahahahaaaa!!

Rob, Thanks for the link!! I found the 1981 blasting project that we helped complete! What a great memory!!
John Dill took the picture of Jose Lopez and I with the explosives. I just showed my daughter Amber that pic. Thanks man.

Imagine bare-footing that bb on the crux of Moratorium!

I'll take a crack at this one.
Aside from the two guys on the left, L-R: Jo Whitford, Brossman exiting the water, Nancy Adinolfi, Bartlett.
(and Jo's dog, Pooch!)
The only people I knew who routinely swam the full length of Tenaya Lake were Brossman and Jennifer ... (last name?)

I remember the run-up to that race.
Definitely added flavor to the scene at the time!

Tarbuster, Robbie tried to talk me into barefoot climbing many times. My response was HELL NO! I didn't even like walking across the parking lot barefoot!
I still admired all the things Robbie did barefoot.

Great picture!!
Who the hell is nybongteam? Rick? Larry?
Nita, I can't remember when someone told me that Jose Lopez had left us. I agree, I thought he was a great human. He swallowed his fear on blasting on that wall and got the job done. I paid special attention to his safety up there. What happened, and when?

Walleye, photos of Dawn didn't start getting taken til 85-86. I have some from the mid 80s, but I don't know if Rob took any.
