Thanks 'Tude. Not my thing normally, but a couple of uncharacteristic cocktails during a protracted business lunch sort'a got the creative juices flowing.
By the way - we're locked and loaded for Cali in July. Nailed down air this morning, so we're committed. A week in Mammoth/Yosemite, then down to Lone Pine and the Portal the 14th-18th. Joe (quillansculpture) and I hope to head up Whitney the 15th and back down the 16th, assuming the permit gods smile upon us. We'll be looking for that reserved beer at your Portal campsite the afternoon/evening of the 16th!
