Labor Day Weekend

We had a nice holiday weekend, starting out on Sunday with a trip to Hershey Park with Brigitte Kevin Ellie and Mitchell. It was a perfect day for the park and Mitch and Ellie were awesome on the rides. Mitch rode his first coaster with a loop - the super dooper looper. Uncle Dave, despite his best efforts, had some issues keeping up with the kids on their rides but did enjoy the bumper cars.

Sunday we went out to safe harbor with joe and Viola for some climbing. It again was a perfect day to be out, highs in the 70s. In the evening we went to dog bridge farms for a barbeque hosted by the Kelsey's and Lubmores. Food was great and we had a nice bonfire to finish the evening. Got to use the truck to rescue joe and Viola who had a flat on the tandem riding to the bonfire.

Monday we did some grocery shopping and made a crockpot feast. Also took a walk on the springlawn trail with Shiloh Wendy and john along the big elk creek. After the walk the lady's were beat and took a nap while I worked on the truck.  Rachel came by for dinner and brought Lucy and Haley. Shi is tired this evening needless to say. It was a great 3 day weekend.

Susquhanna Weekend

We headed out to the Susquehanna this weekend to spend some time at the local crags with our friend Joe.  We first hit up safe harbor.  We climbed 3 routes including Super Slab (10d) - the first time I have lead this climb, and Autumn Arch (10b) a super stemming classic line.

The heat got to be a bit much so we headed out to the Susquehanna river crags near the Holtwood Dam. We climbed a route called funny enough Weekend Warrior, an overhanging block which is certainly one of the nicest line I've ever climbed and then played on some neat rocks Joe and company have been scoping out there lately for some deep water soloing.
