We are pretty settled where we are yet quite like the sense of escaping every chance we get. If we moved closer by, would we camp much anymore? That's so much part of the fun that we probably would. Also, there's figuring on which town to move to, and so far where we are holds the most appeal yet. Anyway, hope you are adjusting well to your new digs Mike. Would be nice not to have to do the long drive and to have such a great backyard.

Cool Sasha got up there again to hang with you guys.
Do tell us about the name Puppet on a String. Did someone do a lot of limp hangdogging?

It's not a very good name I'm told. And you just cemented that fact since that's what it makes you think. :)

Ah, sorry 'bout that. Just didn't know if there was a story there.

O no don't apologize, no need for that.

Story is that I went a little outside my comfort zone when I placed one bolt in particular on this climb. I wanted to place it not far from what looked like a perfectly good crack from the ground when up close that crack peters out. So at the time, I asked my friends on the ground their opinion, and the report back was pretty much that it looked lame to bolt so near the crack, despite my protests. So I managed to climb a bit further out riding on their great enthusiasm and encouragement, and now I kid that I was 'like a puppet on a string' following the instruction of a well meaning ground crew that could lead me to do almost anything, because much to all our surprise the bolt ended up a wee bit farther out than any of us would have most wanted. Not too far out though we think.

I tried my hand at Photoshop on this one. I think it is a shot right before or after the photo a handful of posts back, tilted more realistically, lightened up the rock and darkened the sky. Now you can see Sue. Originally I just stuck the camera out as far as I could so I couldn't see what I was shooting, hence the crooked shots
