Heather pretty much had one of the best ever climbing days! It has been really fun to watch her evlove on this trip; going from her typical reserved self to an all out funny, quick whitted, send or fall off trying kind of gal! I was not feeling well yesterday and spent most of the time taking photo's and trying not to vomit. I did manage to climb two routes and back off of two routes, one of which was likely 5.9!
Nathan, Cheri, and Christine are headed to Germany. Heather and I are taking a few days to play tourist in Italy. We'll take the overnight ferry to Ancona and then the train to Rome. We should return to Split after the weekend for a few more days of climbing before heading north to Frankfurt, Germany.
Our trip has been increadable. Both Heather and I are super motivated to return home and start working on another limestone Sector i've had on the shelf; this one is located in the Lemhi Range of Idaho. A beautiful north facing long wall of blue/grey limestone! We've climbed enough sharp limestone to realize that you can either complain about it, or just climb it. I hope it stops raining in Idaho by the time we arrive later next week.
We can't wait for Ranch Dressing and Mountain Dew and chips and salsa and hamburgers from The Backyard and climbing with our friends and 4th of July with the family...

Dean, what an AMAZING trip you guys are having. I have missed seeing you both so much. I think we should buy back the shop just so we can see your happy faces. Tell Heather she totally ROCKS! When my kids are grown I hope we will be able to travel around the world with our good buddies. Have a safe trip home. Hope to see you guys soon.
Amazing pictures of Heather! Sorry to hear you were sick! You'll be happy to know that the rain is on it's way out! We're excited to spend some time over the 4th of July catching up on all your pictures and hearing the details! We're backpacking with the kids that week up in Idaho so we'll have plenty of time! Be safe and post more awesome pics! Oh ya...and high five Heather from us for a job well done!

I like how you mention chips an salsa just a few sentences after the being sick comments! A true vacation mix of feelings. :)
Nat has 7-10 off. Maybe he can check out the Lemhi project with you. We should do Meadow lake camping again this year too.
Heather you made me smile. H.H.
sorry to burst your bubble, but the last time i checked The Backyard was closed for repairs.
