Bob-a-loo, it meant so much to be invited on the last three hikes of yours to finish the list (although I'm kinda glad I couldn't make Scylla...). You epitomize the ethic of "you just don't know what you might accomplish until you try." Because of that, I've been inspired to set some of my own goals higher, which is perhaps one of the grandest gifts one could bestow.

I looked across to Amphitheater Lake from Thunderbolt Pass this past weekend, pointed it and Observation Pass/Peak to my friend, Brent. All I could think was, "Cheez, that is really insane!"

Thanks for your inspiration, your encouragement, and your friendship. It was an honor to toast you last Thursday on Table Mountain.

Congratulations, Bob!

Congratulations Bob on a staggering accomplishment.

Haha, imagine seeing some asshole on the PCT with that thing.

Even more funny is imagining it running out of gas on the back side of one of the passes, 20 miles from the trailhead.

Congrats Bob !

Laura, it is good to see you doing what you love to do

Where the heck have you been hiding Jim ??

Yes- Congratulations Bob. A nice and long-lasting accomplishment.
