Dude, where are you coming down to? if it's anywhere near me, don't use the rat poison. dunk that cod in some batter, roll it in breadcrumbs, and shove it in the fryer- we'll get some chips to go with it, and drownz it in salt and vinigar. Wooooo! geeze I thought I had trouble with comprehension Well.. You do, but that is the least of your problems.

Not crashed into it, but was riding up front, came around a corner and the moose was standing on the path. The noise scared him so he walked into the bush.

As far as a ground crew goes... well they had close to 100 people on stand by, but the fact of the matter is the conditions we bad enough that "maybe" a crew could have gotten "close" to their location. Maybe within a 150-200m, but that's about it.
They've officially joined the Epic Club.
I'm just glad those 2 are still alive.

A photo TR.
Met with WMD on Monday for some Tahoe area climbing. Spent Monday at Donner and River Rock:
Crashed at my parent's house on Monday night and then went to the Leap on Tuesday:
WMD's modifications to his car are superb. Sitting in the back was actually quite comfortable.
There it is. WMD is currently on his way south to Touloumne Meadows. Hopefully some of you can hook up with him to climb.

You should learn not to mulit task...as in drive, drink coffee and post.
Yep, I had a lot of licensed software on there, that I will have to factor in.
