I got e-mails from DaveG and BobR about this presentation on Monday. So I went to the Peter Croft Slideshow Presentation last night, and met a few new faces from the Whitney Portal forum.

Eight of my photos were used in Peter's book "Climbing Mt Whitney". :D Since we're in the process of packing for a move, I couldn't find my book to get autographed. :(

It was fun to see everyone!

WOW! It looks like a summit of the forums! Wish I had been there. Had to work, though, and the drive...... :\ Sure was a lot of experience in that room. What a seminar on the Sierra that group could give! :notworthy:

Snowy, great job on documentation. You finally made it to one of these presentations!!!!!!!! =D> Soon you'll be making your own, then there'll be picture book signings, world travel to promote it.....of course the peak bagging will have to take a back seat............hmmm..... :-k .......OK, never mind!!!! :D

Ha! I got my Peter Croft book autographed! :0

Peter is a friend of mine and a very nice person. Although he is the world's best all-around climber and famous in the outdoor world, he is so down to earth. Great person just to shoot the breeze with about the mountains.

Yes, I agree, nice person and lots of stories! If mine isn't autographed, I'll give it to you so Peter can sign it. :D

We have two copies, since SnowDude took a few of those photos, and I know one copy is in Mammoth so I'll check this weekend.

Send Peter the link to the photos from the slideshow.


Thanks, Mike!

Trekker, it was a fun night. Except trying to find the 5 South (the first one I saw was blocked). It took me 30 minutes, driving in circles, and only finding a half dozen 5 North . . . . LOST, and no GPS! I do just fine in the backcountry! I hate trying to find my way in the city!
