Digging deep for this one. Erik Nelson, an old friend, reached out looking for some old climbing photos last week. Such a perfect excuse to dig around the old harddrives, even into the slides. I got sidetracked Deeper into our trip to the South coast of Newfoundland. This is one of the reson for this newsletter, diving Deeper into stories and the archives.

Adventure of the week

Joshua Tree, is only 3 hours from San Diego and we'll worth the trip. I first came to Joshua Tree N.P. about 25 years ago after getting rained on and flooded out of Yosemite N.P. There's a lot more expensive vans at the campground and seems like less climbers. The climbing is still fabulous and the sunsets remarkable.
