Rock Climbing --- 8/15/2008 - 8/21/2008 --- Gunks

Mike and I drove down to spend a week camping at the DEC. We were rock site coordinators for the three WR trips that came out during the week. Since none of the trippers would arrive until noon Saturday, Meredith came out to help me celebrate my birthday on Friday.

It was a fun week and we hardly even got in trouble with the Preserve, Thruway Authority, New Paltz Shop Rite, and Minnewaska Lodge.

This quote from Hot Fuzz really summarizes the week.

Using a fork to roast marshmallows over the MSR Dragonfly stove. Isn't that how the Boy Scouts do it?    Gunks -- 8/15/2008

Andy got this shot of trip 11a. (Category:  Rock Climbing)

Andy got this shot of trip 11a. Funny how Melissa and Caroline are awake but their eyes are closed, and Christine is asleep but her eyes are open. At least Annie and Jess got it right. Sorry I didn't take any other pictures of any of the WR trips. My camera tends to stay in my pack when I'm working (except when I'm teaching outdoor photography). But everyone else seemed to be taking pictures, so hopefully plenty of photos exist.    Gunks -- 8/18/2008
