It had been ages since bob had joined us on a climbing trip, but he wasnt available when Rick and I went to Joshua Tree recently. But instead of being disappointed and moping, we made our own bob! It had been awhile, so first we needed to get reacquainted. After that it was time for a little one on one time. Rick and bob went for a nice walk Then it was my turn oops! lilbob has to go to the bathroom he needed a little help going tinkle but he managed number two just fine. We were very proud. Next it was time for some hackeysack. Bob was rusty but did ok Bob had been behaving himself but as soon as we turned our back he got in trouble and somebody called the rangers. Rick tried to help, but bob was out of control and quickly in custody Rick managed to smooth things over, and got bob released with the promise that he would be properly punished. I talked to bob and changed his underwear, for he had peed his pants Then a little playtime and bob was back in the pink We were all ready for a little bouldering, and bob got off the deck right away and he was soon cranking the rads We decided it was time to teach lilbob how to pee like a climber, so we wouldnt have to keep taking him to the bathroom quick learner that he is, bob pikced it up in no time It was a time of friendship and discovery Bob has a way of always picking upour spirits We all had a great time So long from Joshua Tree!

This TR would be better if there were some political & religious rants we could sink our teeth into and spin the comments out of control.
As it stands, these shenanigans are exactly what makes ST a place worth visiting. Thanks!

What about Bob? This TR reminds me of the time I spent a Weekend at Bernie's. Good stuff, good times!

well, Ive known bob-o since we were both knee high, and his suspenders phase is pretty recent, relatively speaking. The bvb in my mind is a long haired, counter culture scumbag cragrat who spent his meager stipend on chalk, beers and wired stoppers. He didnt start wearing suspenders till he got a job.
Still, it would have been a nice touch, wish i would have thought of that

Stalker bump.
I loved your Nose TR so much I snooped to see if you had posted any other gold, and sure enough, paydirt! The icing on the cake is that you got a ranger to play along and let you take pics.

Oh and alleyehave, i neglected to answer your concerns the first time around. That was a dummy that we made to look like a miniature bvb, just a dummy. Bvb was not exposed to alcohol or in any way harmed by the making of this trip report. As for the dummy, he cant drink thus was unaffected by our empty beer cans. Rick and I drank like the aging, lifelong climbers we are, so you should be flabbergasted that there arent dozens of empty beer cans in every frame. I guess were slowing down.... Thank you for your concern, sir.
