Probably a good move. There wasn't a lot flying around here, stayed out until about 10am and only managed to scrape up 7. Gonna give it another go tomorrow.

Just back from the Ventura co Sierras. Wind kept the flies down, low 60s every morning. No fires allowed, but didn't really need one. Lots of bouldering fans around, follow those chalk marks at the crux move.

Thx Pop!

Missy picked up some 'pristine' green seedless grapes (back in season). Crunchy, refreshing snack for the lunch box.

Thanks Jim, while totally useless here in Cali (Los estados undos), it's fun to be able to read the French (and brutally mispronounce it with glee).

Just a reminder to mark your calendars the first weekend in November for a G2G near Hinkley, Ca. I'll work on the official invite thread this week.
