Made it up the ACH for a nice hike, not another hiker to be seen.

Was that Saturday? One of our riding friends crashed in the ACH tunnel and broke his hip. He was airlifted to the hospital. 'Flatlander Stan'...good guy, strong climber.

Did you hike in from Islip Saddle? I was under the impression that the ACH was closed in and around Buckhorn.

I'm guessin HJ was in hibernation, being spring and all, he's got to get out of the cave, grab some grub for the new cub

Taco and Enfuego (0n a road trip mind you) decided that "Lilbitmo" need to be given a better "avatar" name unbeknown to them the one they picked had a fairly strange "connotation" to it, so once we were done laughing about it - I gave Taco permission to add the other part - which made it even funnier when you think about it - it's halarious and has nothing to do with who I am. Like everyone else it's good to be able to laugh at oneself.
By the way, welcome out of the cave and the baby looks great - proud papa
saw your detailed map of the lost hikers location over on the San J board, nice work on that, gives good information to someone trying to piece how easy it is for "inexperienced day hikers" to get turned around in the wilderness and how easy it is to find oneself trapped by tapering canyon walls, nice job.
Hope to see you out there soon.
I stand corrected "Title" not Avatar, that's why we have you as our "admin guy" to keep us in line

She's a little sweetheart. She's just a really nice, sweet girl. Very nice disposition and very cute.

You know me; I love my maps. Hope it helps that guy that asked.
