Note the quotes around "climbing".  This symbolizes the intent and will to climb, but a lack of ability to find the route.  Maybe it was moved, maybe the new guide book that looked so promising lied or maybe our orienteering skills were slightly off.  Either way, we didn't find what we were looking for and ended up wandering around Echo Lake and cussing the people who had enough money to have "cabins", probably bigger than our house, on such a beautiful lake.  Since we didn't find the rock face we were looking for, we ended up drowning our sorrows in ribs and apple pie at the Apple Cafe, and laughing at how much Nate and Jackie were missing out on while getting rained on in Virginia.  The last three pictures area  a tribute to the Falcon family.

Ben and Fawn looking for routes	I hear there's a lot of routes up here.
Are the routes over here?	How about here?
Any up there?	Ken relaxing on this beautiful day.
Hey guys, I thought I saw a bolt over here.	"O-o-o, look at the pretty fishies."
They say it takes about 5 minutes by boat to reach the climbing routes.	Ken and Fawn looking for usable bolts.
Ken relaxing again	Stupid routes.
Ribs	M-m-m, guuud.
For Nate and Jackie
