Mad Monte, Hello from Waltham, MA. Your photos are wonderful. I sorely missed the Gathering. I had to be at work. In August I was out with Brice trying to get up the railroad valley to hike around to Stehekin but Brice got sick... I was particularly curious about Ryback's appearance and talk and wished there had been a way to record his talk so we could hear what he had to say. Monte, maybe you could give a phone number and I could call you sometime? Happy fall, Lesya Struz 781.642.6842 (home) l.struz@comcast.net (home email)
