Ready to go for 12 days in the Bugs!! Yeehaw! Some little critter still got to my spark plug wires. You can't put up too much chicken wire!

Sunset South Howser Tower - July 1990. We got passed by 3 groups around sunrise intent on doing the route in one day. They missed this magical moment and all the other positives that come with spending one or more nights over here.
