I saw The Police at Fenway park during their reunion tour. Was a good show.
Sting was pretty cool in Lock Stock, too.

You have a tendancy to cut your vids short, so we actually miss the good parts. A good photog/videographer just becomes an observer, regardless of the situation. Keep it rolling as some of the best stuff comes mid-event or afterwards when you're talking about your dumclucking. But, yes, they were entertaining.

Bye the bye, when we were up at the view point I noticed that we must have been on top of that monster Arche. Anyone ever rap off from there? Scaring the turons?
A guy jumped to his death from that overlook a couple of years ago. He hit the talus slope and exploded. Poor body recovery crew had to hike all over the place just to get the pieces picked up.
But Pine Creek, the canyon on the left, is a popular canyoneering route. I've done that a few times now.

You will forever change the way you look at the backcountry. No better way to travel, than on BC skis.

You may be better off at Mammoth. The snow reports for Tahoe are bleak. Not many of them have more than 20% of their hills open. It's starting off as another shit year for snow. Heavenly seems to have the best coverage. Squaw is open a little bit, but you can't ski below the high-camp. It's poor conditions. I wouldn't bring anything better than my rock skis, personally.
I hope it gets better, cause I want to make a ski weekend up there, but I had hoped it would be IN by now. Meh, I'll take diving in Monterrey instead.
