I ran into Sam a few weeks ago on top of a local landform, and I was glad to have the opportunity to thank Sam in person for all of his hardware contributions to safety over the years. It's rare when someone who puts in the extra time and money into an area gets thanked for it.
Cheers!

For those interested we just interviewed Sam about his exploits on those towers and the anchor replacement he's been doing along the way: http://www.splitterchoss.com/2010/06/21/interview-with-sam-lightner-jr/

Thanks for all the hard work you do and congrats on all the towers! I'd like to hula hoop on some of them!
