Sierrapalooza 2006 - Half Dome

“I remember that picture... Knew I should've just kept my hat over my face. lol”

“HAHAHHAHA!”

“seems to be a smile on both of their faces..go WindWalker”

“Karen, I got my CD. You got some great close ups. Looks like we're straght up instead of an angle. Scarry.
Thanks,
T”

“I guess you were distracted WW
;-)”

“Just looked at your pics Hodge. I laughed at Jerbear on the diving board and of WW taking off Turbos pants...legs. Makes me want to load my pack and head out again. I was sad when the hugging, goodbye pics came up. :(
I miss you all.”

“wannabp - I got my CD also. Great Half-Dome pics! Thanks!!”

What are we doing?
WHAT IS Ladyhiker DOING?”

“Hodge I like your photos, especially the placement of the people. Give the scenery scale.”

“Navi - Looks like LadyHiker's talking to the shrubbery again ;-) But in fact Landscaper and Wannabp were sitting down there. Not sure what the rest of ya were doing .... hehehe”

“I know Wanna & Lands were there, but there's nothing funny about that, like: "Those people from Oregon and their shrubs!"”

“

"So anyways..... then I was dating this rose bush for a while.... "

LOL”

“LOL!!!
Now THAT'S better!”

“Hey Karen can I get a CD too??? Pretty please.”

“I got my CD today. Thanks a lot Karen.”

“If I had a nickel for everytime I saw these two in the water...:)

I think if you check behind their ears you may find gills. :p

“yeah, you'd be rich eh?

It's the reward at the end of the days hike. Then the cat nap follows. ;-)”

“Karen, great shots of us climbing Half Dome. It sure looks steeper in the photos.”

“So... anyways... I've given up dating rose bushes... Constantly thorny and spending all of their time climbing the ladder... Now.. I'm back browsing the "Shrubs R Us" personals... Sigh....”

“Thank you very much for the CD of us climbing Half-Dome. The photos of Gnome are priceless and will be appreciated forever.

Ewker, I recall it REALLY being that steep!

Someday I will get my photos posted, I promise.

Nav, that was a great route you selected for us geezers. Now, about that snow camping trip........”

“Moz, it's 100 degrees and I just got back from kayaking in the ocean, I can't think about snow right now!


Dang kids!”

“finally got my pics up to webshots, still not captioned....

all of your photos are incredible and are making me really miss you beautific beings.
i so enjoyed experiencing the yosemite ...it was truly ecstatic.....breathtaking landscape and gathering of the souls around the outdoor kitchens....just too cool.

great route navi...

ewker,,you definitely captured the yosemite soul to the core in your photos....and always plenty of flowers to view.......great shots and good eye man.

it is hot here, took chocky and his kayak down the river and swimming ...but the refreshment rating doesnt even come close to the polar plunges into the Merced. wish i was back there!!!!...boooo hoooo and sniff

hope ye califonians are keeping cool somehow...
love you all”

“and hodge...tha panorama.....i love it!
nice work..”

“Hey Om, Great shots.
I found your sunglasses under my back seat. Send me your address so I can get um to ya. ;-)”

“I'm starting to put things together for the DVD.
Which, in your opinion, sums up the trip best (think label for the DVD) Cathedral Peak, Half Dome, or the rainbow on the Mist Trail?”

“Any would work OK. Half Dome was the main event.”

“no rainbow!! I found the end of it and there wasn't a pot of gold there :(”

“I watched Sierra III again the other day.... what a great series :-)”

“Me too Hodge :)

Half Dome...it was all about Half Dome!”

“Maybe Jerbear in his dive position? LOL!”

“Ewker, most of us think the Snack Bar was the equal of any Pot O'Gold.





"Exit Polls show Half Dome leading by a sizable margin."”

“Okay, I will get my photos onto Webshots today. I was determined to have them up before we went to the Oregon coast last Thursday, and the same !@#%&* thing started happening with my computer. "Sorry for the inconvenience, but Windows will have to close.........." followed by the same cheery announcement from the automaton with the 'too late now' name of Dr. Watson's Postmortem Debugger, followed by computer permafrost. After delaying our planned start time over an hour without getting a single photo onto Webshots, I realized it wasn't going to happen before we left. Any computer geeks with an idea what's happening and how to MAKE IT STOP?”

“Glad folks like their Half Dome shots. It was fun taking them. Feel free to add your favorite(s) to your Webshots album, if you want. I'm sorry I didn't get more of some of you, but hopefully everyone found one s/he liked.

WW, I'll make you a CD and send it as soon as I get the photos onto Webshots, which I plan to tackle right now.”

“I couldn't help but notice that you took more pictures of Landscaper than you did of me.
I'm begining to think you like him more than you like me!”

“I posted a few shots. Will create another soon.

Check out the Yosemite Trip

Moz”

“Yo, dad, Moz, whatever... What's the deal with the picture of me in the pirate getup? I don't recall that being on the trail!”

“Navi- Go for Half Dome.”

“Gee, Ewker, you're helpful. lol”

“

Strange, this Pirate wears a patch over both eyes. LOL!”

“Talent.

lol”

“It just sorta belonged, it was part of the trip ya know!”

“It be the plank for you Matey! Arg!”

“Still not a single photo on Webshots.

I spent more than 8 hours talking to technical support today. First I spent 2 hours talking to Dell where the bottom line is that for $99 they will trouble shoot my 'software' problem. Seems my expensive extended warranty doesn't cover software.

Then another 6 hours talking to Microsoft where for $35 they will troubleshoot a single problem forever. After 6 hours, the guy and I sort of gave up. He'll convene a group of experts and get back to me. I may be able to find a way around the issue because he did get all my folders into a functioning place on the computer.”
