Probably go to my mom and dad's house ;) Close to where I will be and I can pick it up on my way home :D
That and dad is awesome at guarding stuff... ;)

OK ... Stig did not give an arrival time on Sunday... That would be a week from this Sunday. Steve will be here by eight or so having eggs and pancakes for breakfast. Anyone else for Sunday or Monday?

Well I guess if anyone else decides to come Sunday the 13th or Monday the 14th... Get the info from Stehansen. I will try and catch up with the numbers when I get back from vacation on the 12th.

Well... Home a day early from the vacation.. OMG... 2000 plus posts ... .... Teach me to go away man!

Climb still on but no raptor for demo... too tight a time line for Paul to ship to me. That's ok.. Next time in OCT or NOV. Have a lot of catching up to do and such. Anybody else sliding on up here for the climb let me know. :)
Steve, if you want to be here the night before... NP now.. :)

I'll think about it Stephen. I just sent you a PM, my BIL died a few days ago and the funeral is Sunday at 2:00. So I'm thinking right now that I will go but have to leave early.

Stig just stopped by to check in... He just left to go back to the Inn he is staying in and get some sleep. His friend Anders may or may not make it back from Yosemite in time.. Guess he had a date with El Cap :)
 
I'm not going to make it Stephen. I have some running around to do in the morning related to my BIL's funeral tomorrow. Sorry, I was looking forward to seeing your family again and meeting Stig. I tried sending you a PM but your box is full.
 
Sounds like fun, wish I could have made it up there.

Weekend jobs are the worst!

Can't wait for some pics.

Twas a great day. Stig got here and we headed out about 9am. Katy and the boys went so we had a couple cameras going. I have not seen the pics on Stig's yet. Anders never showed up so it was just Stig and I in TONS of canopy... Imagine up to 50' long limb walks if you will :D. I missed several throws to get a line in and of course Stig hit the crotch on the first try:lol: GO figure.. HAHAHA

It was hard to get pics sometimes as the canopy really messes with your lighting.. Last couple are of Stig getting way out.

Katy went outside of the canopy to get a shot of both Stig and I once we got out to the edge to try and capture the scale of the tree... See that little red dot???? LOL

Stig remarked that swinging back would be a bit hazardous from that distance since you would pretty much slam into a trunk the size of a bus:lol:

Awesome tree, Stephen. The guys who climb 200' tall conifers may not fully appreciate the challenges associated with climbing a tree 70' tall and 150' wide, but I love the spreading canopies of the live oaks and other hardwoods.
