As you might devine I *almost* forgot to take pictures before this meeting got away. Charlie had already skipped out. My A1 was all loaded back in the car. I caught up with Don who was waiting at the bus stop. We talked for awhile before it came about that he was going to have to change to the Cap Metro #1 bus down the line, and I said, "Heck, the #1 goes just a few blocks from my house... come on along. I can save you 1/2 hour I'll bet."
Charlie and Chris are heading out to New Mexico's Philmont to do some hiking and merit badge acquisition with a 50 mile traverse in 8 days in hilly country.
