You HAVE to come down to The Cities for this event. If you don't you're going to really regret it.

Plan on getting to Loring Park early Saturday morning in order to have the time to watch all of the competitors.

Be sure to find me when you're there...if you don't see me, ask around, we'll hook up sometime.

You guys are gonna make me cry

Believe me, I would go to every event that was ever posted if I could. I would climb until my skinny old arms were exhausted and then I’d switch over to photography and work from the ground with camera in-hand.

Yeah, getting back to reality. . .
Minnesota is a tad exotic for my current means.
However, Massachusetts for this Fall & Atlanta for next is looking like a sure deal!

Also. . .
The Tree Climbing Rendezvous for 2006 is Biloxi, Ms. and for 2007 is Atlanta? - yes/no???

Thanks,
Ej

OK, now I have to make sure I get down there, and if Peter & TCI are running a kids climb I may need to see if I can talk my family into coming along. Can you guys take 7 and 9 year olds up?... Joshua (7) has been interested for a while, and while Lily (9) always says she prefers freeclimbing I suspect she'd be into it.

Kids starting with age 5 are good climbers. Bring the gang out!

The ISA "Kids' Climb" has been re-named the "Fun Climb." Anybody -- kids and adults -- can climb with us this year. Stop in and say hello!

The 2007 Rendezvous won't be in Atlanta. Actually, we're thinking we'll host it in 2008, TCI's 25th Anniversary. Harv, you found a place for this year. What do you think about hosting in Colorado next year?
Hope to see y'all in Mississippi THIS year!

2007 in Colorado is certainly doable. We'll have to talk in MS. The place that I had lined up for 2006 will still be available, and I can continue to check out other sites with more hardwoods. Meantime, check out

1,000 acres of mountains, streams, and trees, including a 400-500 year-old ponderosa I discovered on my last visit.
