Thanks guys. Norm and team did a great job with the set up and the trees. All of the events were super fun to climb. Kevin was a work horse as a in tree tech for A.R. he had to go up and down all day. Then he took a 10 minute lunch, then back up. Treeman and Gary showed up early and left late. These guys were a huge help.

John is a footlocking machine. I bet next year he is in the 14's.

 

[johnmeiszner]

I would be content with 16's but I know you'll be right there next year /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif


Hey Norm,
I heard both friends and family say that what they especially liked about this year was the way all of the events were in one tight area.
They also liked that for the Master tree you could sit almost anywhere and still see the entire climb. ( for what its worth)

 

[Norm_Hall]

John, you are right, we were fortunate enough to have trees condusive for the the events close to one another. Unfortunately the park layout dictates where the event trees will be. This year we were lucky. That is an awesome park.

 

[johnmeiszner]

Here's one Kevin. We should have gotten a picture of all the treebuzzers! Darn it.
