Spent a nice day out with Miki and Bob. Bob drove up alone for the day, so Miki and I termed this “Bob Day,” and took turns following him.

It was a good day. The forecasts of temps in the mid-90s scared me, as they did others, I suppose, since we got into the park, landed an nice site with Robert and Matt at Ryan, and then didn’t have to wait to do any of the climbs, even though we were in the shade and comfortable the whole time.
