Hi Mary, apparently I'm one of those regulars with a crude sense of humor :) I'm Sam, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I wish you and your family the best, and, Welcome to climbing and site!

Mary...got bounced off line by power failures twice today by the wind while doing long reponses to you. So here's the third try. Sorry you don't like the old posts I had up. The small group of regulars here on the site, have varied senses of humor that may seem crude at times. Many posts are actually offshoots of previous lengthy discussions of silly photos, a philosophy or such. We all push the limits in one way or another at some time. I pick and choose what I want to take time to read or respond to every day, and there might be hundreds of items I have a negative opinion of, but I just skip them. I'll take the 'knot' photo down by this weekend as it was an intentional cropped photo just to make a point. Hope you can still enjoy lots of other items that are on this site.

Got your message yesterday. I'm a part time commentary writer of all sorts. This site is perfect to do such things on. I joined up in late Feb. and then became acquainted with the main ten or so posters with comments on their photos. And here I am today, adding to it. Sounds like your family/group travels to climb several times a year. I've been in between trips for some time now, but hope to do some southeast areas this June.
Keep posting up photos of your adventures, and write blogs to share the experience too!

Hope all the Fairchilds keep posting up good action photos. Arizona ones around Mt. Lemmon are always nice views. Must have been a nice climbing trip. Let us know more about family climbs, interests, local climbing stuff, etc. This is a fun site if you read the 'daily news' we all post.
