The parents come by for a visit Location: Microsoft Campus My parents came by on their way (sort of) to Oregon. I showed them my swank pad and took them around the M$ campus. - PC190010

Final shots of Drew & George's Room 107 Location: Carothers It was hard to say goodbye to the year's social gathering center. - IMG 1844

The Big Easy Location: Little Si This is a nice little 5.9 that could have been nicer if it hadn't been raining on us. It was quite long; after lowering we had only ~4m of our 60m rope left. Whew, as it were. - IMG 1858
Location: Jefferson Commons - IMG 1975
Napping some more Location: Hueco Tanks State Park As we passed the last real trees and entered the wasteland of West Texas, as Hong's Penske truck swerved periodically onto the shoulder/oncoming traffic, we slept (fortifying ourselves for the climbing ahead, of course). - 104 0464 IMG
And here Bryan is on the Wall Location: the Marymoore park climbing structure - Picture5
Lazing about Location: Peets' House Resting up for a day of gift opening. - PC220003

Driving Through the Forest Location: Kaibob National Forest Winding, winding, roads. Will we ever make it to the Grand Canyon? At least the view sure beats the barren landscape we've seen so far. - 260 G
Hot Springs Bathhouse Location: Hot Springs, AR We didn't take baths. But we did take the self-guided tour. - 104 0419 IMG
Home, Sweet Home Location: Homestead Village I'm sure we'll become quite familiar with this scene during the next three months. - 240 G
Arrival Location: Maumelle Park, Arkansas After a long and lovely drive through various east Texan towns (we opted for the backroads rather than I-30) and various Arkansan hamlets (ah, Arkedelphia, ye city on a hill), we arrived at our campsite not far out of Little Rock. Only slightly dismayed by the prevalence of the over-65 set, we pitched the tent and set off to the nearby Pinnacle State Park, to scale the largest mountain...within...half an hour of Little Rock... - IMG 1960

They did fit! Location: Martha's House Thanks to a feat of engineering overseen by Ellen - 114 1475 IMG
Location: the San Diego Zoo - Picture7
Can they all fit? Location: Peets' House Not unless we recruit the fish tank to be a second tree. - 103 0378 IMG
The Bay bridge Location: San Francisco The only peaceful part of our driving in SF for the day. - IMG 1986
(sigh) Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Bryan, like the true obnoxious boy scout father that he may someday become, decided it would be really neat to take pictures of Leslie when they woke up at 5 a.m. - Picture27

Microsoftie #53344 Location: the Microsoft campus We finally made it - ACF42
One of the first there Location: Riemer's parking lot - 107 0738 IMG
Drews does some bouldering. Location: Monkey Traverse Nothing like bouldering on boulders in Boulder. Gratuitous, undescribed climbing pictures follow. - IMG 1980
Striving for intellectual betterment Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Despite our periodic truculence, Jeff quizzed us on GRE vocab sedulously (the secondary definition). Did you know that "inveigle" was a word? Did you know it means "to jack up?" - 105 0525 IMG
