You're kinda tall

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

Where's the treehouse?

It was a "trim" job of a redwood on HWY 100 (?) in NorCal headed by Gerry B.

Or is Nick short?

I'm only 81 inches barefoot, or at least I was before my back started collapsing on itself.

So you are the taller one?opcorn:

I thought you were building a tree house. You know the infamous G. Beranek?
Looks like you need to put ankle weights on little Nick there to keep him on the ground. He looks born to climb.

More like we know who each other is, Hi Gery, Hi John...The base of the tree is hollow, and people used to sleep in it, now it's the vestibule for a tourist trap souvenir store.

So you are the taller one?opcorn:

Taller then Nick with you on his shoulders

clearance How come you have your chinstrap on?

Because I alway have it on? Besides, with a tree that tall, when you look up the helmet falls off.

Gerry B. was outfitting big climbs, if he is not still I'm sure he could help you find someone who could assist.

You have to watch out with park trees, the Parkies get a little upset if they find you. I've heard stories of gear getting confiscated.

Hi Fred, long time no read!

I'll look you up when we get out that way. My wife keeps talking about going to CO on vacation. We just keep using too much of it up here and there to get away for a long period.

Then there is the fact that I hate not working for more then 3-4 days in a row, and she is dead set against a working vacation

"and what am I supposed to do while your off in a tree playing with your friends!"

 

[FBerkel]

JPS,

I've been lurking a little.

So, bring her saddle, and we'll do a rec. climb in a beautiful grove of big cottonwoods. Or, she and my wife can hang, and complain about the dirt they find under our fingernails, or whatever.

Hope you're doing well.
