So I went rock-scrambling this weekend at Great Falls park with Tom Leoni. I get in the car and he says, “hey, look at my high-tech camera!” and pulls out the sweetest looking old camera in a leather case that probably from the 50’s I’m guessing. Tom’s gear is all like that: top of the line and OLD. I don’t even want to know how much he spends on getting this stuff, because I’m pretty sure its a lot.

I had a great time listening to his stories about Italy and all of his other travels and his insistence on using the old-school stuff. I think I quelled any fears he may have had about me being to girlie for the adventure by taking on what he called a Class 4 descent without ropes. Woohoo! It was quite a rush doing that, but while I can do it, I think I want to try the ropes kind next time.

I’m really glad that I got to get outside for Earth Day, mostly because if anyone asks me what I did for it, I have something to say. Just kidding. Yes, Great falls, you rule. And everybody knows it. I will write more about it when I can come up with something more coherent to say. Yes, an analylsis of the two sides, Maryland and Virginia will be coming soon.

Bah! and my camera isn’t working to upload pix, those will be on here shortly, sorry.
