"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Voodoo DollUnusual weather, a bit of sleet en route, a bit cold for the last part of May. Partner from NY had never been down First Creek, turned out to be a good choice due to the weather. I like this first pitch as much as any pitch on Black Magic or Lotta Balls. Can use this as a variation of Black Magic to the top. Special note, never seen the purple sage blooming this much. Much more prominent in First Creek than any other RR canyon.
