per Bushman's instance I went and begged desk top time,
they are both photographs , of the princely formation taken by focusing on the still waters,
so a reflection causes the distortion of the trees at the top.
(some might consider it the king, most reserve that accolade for El Cap though)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzignore dumb thing belowzzzzzzzzzz
OH!?, I just went back and read - Mellow climbing? , is there such a thing?
shoot, Id almost delete the rest of this but it will get things started. . .
THE TOWER IS OPEN
THE CLIMBING BAN IS VOLUNTARY , & anti american. Climbing Is My Religion, how about you?
TRADman, MAKE THE MOST OF THE TRIP HIT THE TOWER !
(1st?, and you may want to hit the top but . . . when you get there and take in the grand scale, & all the routes? I know the register & all is almost mandatory, Solar to the top, meh, Jbro will weigh in& Mike)
My favorite tour, as a Rock climber, a crag rat, is to catch all the SD, & Wyoming stuff,
Do not miss Fremont Canyon,
Spearfish is 'in'( FA's to be had)
but the South Dakota Needles is where to spend the bulk of time.
Hike out to the Pickets'
In-fact stop and check out sylvan lake camping then skeedadle, away from there.
you might even want to get a local to show you,
(barter, bring yer drills and and lots of darts(bolts'n hangers )
or (oh the ego will take a hit but) ,**hire, pay` ;~ )for a place that needs your mark, DO a FA
make the most of a trip to that enchanted Rock Paradise.

What the hell is that at the top of the Rostrum?
A cloud formation in the distance or an explosion?
Weird...

Sorry about the dog hair,
the convenience store camera pics,
and the butt shots...
part of my condition (the dog hair that is).
No Worries Mate
There was a time
When I soloed here and there
No worries of tomorrow
And hardly a care
Those days may be gone
But just thought I'd say
To those travelers here
Keep solid on your way

That's just grande. Haw Haw Haw. LOL. YKM. ROFLOFOFLO. Haw Haw Haw.
It's sad such a clever sack can't see a tree for the sky.
It's a full-tilt burning bush up there, blazing in the Early Morning Light.
The Dawn Tree. It's a Grade IV. Don't know if it's even rated.
"Bushman my ass."
I didn't say that.
That's why iTsin quotes.
Speaking of iTsin, I believe that he is the one that said "it" (the cosmic it, that is) first.
iTsin is a Chinese philosopher from the BITD, or Big IT Dynasty.
I don't know much about Chinese history except for what I'm slowly absorbing from the book feralfae sent, 1421.
So a man better go goggle "BITD," otay?
Here's something of a consolation/booby prize for Bushman,
whose eyes may be dimmer than
(here you get to name something that can be described as "dim" because I'm stoned out of examples).
While out shooting pix this aft I ran into rSin aGin.
He'snot the same today as the other day. But he agreed to pose because I reminded him that I gave him a dollar the other day, implying I'd pay him again. But I took the shot and told him I forgot my wallet, in fact, I'd lost it, along with my Third Street fishing license and my coupons for McDonalds and a couple of bucks. That's what I told him, anyway. And he sorta believed me. No biggie. He forgot to blow his damned nose, so fair's fair.
"To Xfinity and beyond!"
Remember he had that stocking cap on the other day--it had "Xfinity" woven into it.
Yeah, it was raining dogs, cats, and mice last night.
I shlept briefly, got up, channeled Gnome briefly, then looked out at the rain. There wasn't much to see except the courthouse aflame.

Yes, the heavens ope'd
And the rain of which we'd hoped
Came raining down like rain.
Not like a feather
But in a deluge;
And it was like, huge.
And then Tess went away,
Leaving bits of herself
As a token of her visit.

Heavens to Betsy!They quit their gig to have kids,
and reunited later as the Betsy Boys and Girls.
It's a long, long story.
They did it all for their babies, as they'd all divorced.

The Boxwood Laurel?
Mr Mouse was wise to me
If he said so it must be true
Don't know much 'bout some things
But it'll have to do
He asked me bout some greenery
With a reddish hue
Among hierarchy's of flora
I didn't have a clue
I went to ride my bicycle
Just an hour ago
The roads were slick with rainfall
As the mountains got more snow
I took the hill too swiftly
And off the side I flew
And landed in a boxwood laurel
With a reddish hue
Mr Mouse was wise to me
If he said so it must be true
Don't know much 'bout some things
But it'll have to do

Poppies and Hoppies, Pudding and Pie.
Smack the Jackrabbit
Went for a spin
To the Mound House Bunny Ranch
Lookin' for sin
He strode inside
To the Madam he said,
"I'm lookin' fer some tail
And I wouldn't mind some head."
Well next thing ya know
He's walkin' down the hall
He's thinkin' of the bunny
That he's a-gonna ball
The rest of the story
Lays behind closed doors
No tellin' what's a-doin'
With them bunny rabbit whores
What happpens in Mound City sooner or later gets out anyway.

Real cool, MooseDrool.
Lookin' like Sal Dali, there. Or Brandon.
Purple drool all on my lip
You may wonder what's my trip
This ain't funny and here's why
I'll miss seeing some May O Rye

Sorry to hear of your oral troubles, Moosie.
I recommend AT LEAST three Tylenol/Codeine tablets and some leisure.
Or some brewskis.

Where is "their?"
Are we "they're" yet?
I was not payin' attn.
That photo is at least two days old.
The drool is gone, the eyes are not cloudy and gay.
He's lookin' fit as a git-fiddle
He diddled Middle
Then hopped on Higher
And the Moose jumped o'er her moon.
AT THE BUNNY RANCH IN MOUND CITY!!!!
Alex and some fans from Merced in Modesto at a local valley uprising.
Who's/whose/whos smile is the cheesiest?
Alex or Andrzej?
I like Alex's Tsh#t, by the way.

Most of us, in fact, since we were pretty young, except for MooseYouth.
He began climbing at a very late age.
Everybody's lookin' for the same thing.
Some things they just can't do without.
Climbing's a good thing.
No room for doubt.
Put me on belay
Then give a shout--
"You must whip it!
Go forward!
Move ahead!
Whip it good!"

Whom could forget, Mrs. L?

"Walk away from the pie, slowly, with your hands out in front.
Take two steps, then turn around completely.
Now take a bunny hop forward, turn back around and go backwards for six steps,
turn around and get the instant coffee from the cubboard and make me some caw-fee!
Please.
Then you can cut me a slice of that coconut/pecan.
Please."
"Yore so polite, dears.
What ever happened to the Pet Shop Girls, boys?"
"Good question, Mrs. L. Some went on to gig with the Betsy Girls and Boys, I think."

This is a very significant show as it was the very first time The Grateful Dead did a national radio broadcast.
They had done many local radio simulcasts before,
but this was right after they returned from a two year haitus from touring
and this broadcast was a big deal at the time.

against the organized lies of his crutches
his crux flaw in my eyes is not seeing the LIES. . .
What the . . .well I say phook dem church teach in's, da biggest of hypocrites
What is the story of the boy who came to our lord
in nothing but a sheet for overnight 'teachings', All about?
It says jesus 'took' him - what?
how can the church be anti gay ? all they do is bugger each other
and alter alter boys why? to make 'em what? Straight?
Jesus was Bi - love one another, 12 at a time?f
Deceleration of what?
Don't give me 'The Flesh is Weak' Line
Sick fvks, Disciples?
What is the original sin?
Sorry
a Sunday morn blasphemy

I'm in - but I question
I have to point it out again and again
ONE YEAR SINCE IGNITION OOF THIS VOLUMR HERE AM SURE IS RIGHT HERE
