Climbing a Big Beauty!

[Mark Chisholm]

Well, I have way more to share about my last climb with Jerry last week than I can share right now. I am running on empty, but am still excited just thinking about that spot.

The area itself is so secluded, so beatiful that I would love to camp there for a few days. The trees are huge, close together and lush. There are so many of them that you can hardly hear people talking 30' away. The only sound was that of the waterfall. It was awesome!

Jerry is such a treat. He finds these dream spots and trees and then spends his day helping us to better enjoy them. Not only does he bring us there, he also tapes the whole day so that we have an ability to replay the day over and over. What a friend! Thanks again Jer!

I will get some pics up here over the weekend, but they won't even be half as good as your own eyes could see.

Thank you Mark, I feel I'm the luckiest person on earth.

Tonight the team from the Trampoline climb passed through Ft. Bragg to pay a visit, on on their way home. Bought me dinner and gave a big salute.

Need I say again how lucky I am.

Professional climbers and great trees. Don't get any better!!

I secound that Mark.

I known Jerry for quite a few years now, and every time we get together, it's another adventure.

Thank god for that chat room eh! Jer.

By that way Mark, it was good seeing you and Brian again and meeting your father last week at our Western Chapter conference. Always a pleasure being around you guys.

Greg,

I'll never turn down a chance to come out your way! Always a good time for me as well. Robert Phillips did quite a job putting that conference together. He must have had some team working with him.

To be honest Greg, I had to shrink those shots and lose a lot of clarity to make them work here. It's not the best camera for real photography, but it is convenient.

Hey Mark!! Now that I have seen these pics, Iam so glad I have a plastic cover on my key board.
How does one get to make one of these trips with you anyway?
Every time I see Robert P. At TCI I tell him I would love to "go west young man." Is that a possibility!?Even though I'm a Flyers fan

I wouldn't give up on the idea!
