Shreddr, if I remember correctly you don't enjoy camping in perfect conditions, correct? I absolutely love camping, and am already looking forward to the next time I get to camp.

Yes, to me it is still fun, and adds to the adventure. For a living I sit in a cloth box running projects, planning, and writing reports. I enjoy doing stuff like this.

The only time I was really cold was on the ride home, and after the snowy ride back to the pavement, I was ready to go home and have a hot shower. But I would do it again in a heart beat.

Good one Rob, glad you enjoyed it. I don't have the circulation for snow camping.

From last night. Last sunset of the year. To realize the height of the cliffs, you have to know that the "Titan" is 900 feet tall. It's on the far right. My towers are different than Bill's tower.
