I wrote that trip report from memory - some events are just burned into your mind. When I was reading Blackbeards bit about heading out for his first trip, the entire weekend just flashed back before my eyes - much like the look on my scoutmasters face when, at Philmont, on our last day on the trail (we camped at the tooth of time) he saw me free-soloing a detached flake about 150' off the deck and stemming over to a crack system on the face ..... images and memories like that just never fade.
Oh - we didn't throw apples - horse chestnuts (with the spines) were a lot more fun (hand grenades during our BB gun wars)
