swturner - didn't Kiefer just look ADORABLE? You're definitely not getting away that easily, Mr. Skasgaard.
del_sur - pleasure to meet you! I'll supply another cheesecake when hike together next!
Dave - nice job on the driving! WERE you going to get me with that bottle of whipped cream???? It does look a little scary.
Jamie - thank you very much for organizing the hike, it was great.
It was great to meet everyone!
We miss you, David.

You have a great dog (even though he barked at me in the TH, he was probably just trying to tell me its too early to be up right now or maybe cause I'm a die hard O's fan, pathetic I know), Labs are the best, yours is friggin enormous, we've got one back home 122lbs, thing is a walrus.
Thanks! He is a great dog, he just wants to love and play with everyone..
I was a little worried that he was becoming a nuisance to some.. I understand now, that he ate somebody's cheesecake.. I am truly sorry! I had no idea..
Great job with the Needle on Sunday.. I am going to venture a guess that was a great climb!
On my first take-off, I hit second gear and went through the speed limit on a two-lane blacktop highway full of ranch traffic. By the time I went up to third, I was going 75 and the tach was barely above 4000 rpm....
And that's when the Ducati got its second wind. From 4000 to 6000 in third will take you from 75 mph to 95 in two seconds - and after that, Bubba, you still have fourth, fifth, and sixth. Ho, ho.

Thanks,

I'll take a stab at it!
Going L to R. I'll go around the outside (standing) circle first, then the inside.
Standing L-R:
Guitmo233, roozers42, CODave, swturner, astrobassman, kurty, del_sur, jamienellis
sitting L-R:
USAKeller, teufel, Kate, astrobassman's friend Jon, Kevin (?),sdkeil, highmountaindrifter, rockymountainhigh69, Jeter (the lab)
In the center (green & blue jackets): Scott & Chris P
(Skasgaard is the photographer)
Did I call anyone the wrong name???

Sorry I did not make it everyone. Not only was it Father's Day and I wanted to be with my little ladies, but I am still having issues with my back and I am not fully prepared for a 14er yet...I thought I would be.
I am glad all of you had a great time and the photos are outstanding. What a fitting way to give tribute to a great man many of us did not know.
Cheers!

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

[quote="Chris P."]Merlin, Thanks again for the ride up the road. Hiking that thing would have really sucked. quote]
No problem man, I am just glad my truck is still running and in one piece after that!! Thanks for spotting me on the way down. Rockymountainhigh69, how did your jeep fair on the way back down?? I didn't think it was near as bad as the way up, but my knuckles were still white on the steering wheel!!! Hope you did well!! Thanks again to everyone for such a great time, I'll never forget it!!
DAMN RACOONS AND PEOPLE SHOOTING AT 2 AM!!

CODave, I'll be sending you a bunch of pics real soon. These are the last two I'll post here. I'll let Dave use the others.
On the summit...
At the saddle on Humboldt...I apologize, I don't know the two people with question marks.
Check out this Pan. of the Crestones I pieced together from Humboldt's summit. It came out flawlessly! I didn't upload the pic here because you can't enlarge it.
