I wasn't going to give a Steve a leaf because he did a completely different trail to get to The Bench, which did not include going up the Shortcut Trail, but he promised to buy me many beers for my birthday, so I caved ...

As for me, I had a personal best of 32:05 from The Creek to The Bench -- surprising myself, since I had been sitting on my butt the last 3 weeks, consuming large quantities of food and drink. I guess I have a new training regimen now. Cheers!

Somewhere near the elusive peak of Mt. Sizer

As always, size matters!

Thanks for the birthday party. Cheers!

Milestones:
Chester's 110^th leaf
Christine L's 1^st leaf
Jim's 20^th leaf
Mike He's 1^st leaf
Russell's 60^th leaf
