The year is coming to a close and it is time to recount all the fun that we had climbing, meeting new people and learning new techniques.

Other than the regular climbs at home at nearby trees I will always remember the Trek to Colorado for the 2007 Tree Climbers Rendezvous. The trees were fun, easy to reach and the facilities were excellent. The short seminars and the overall friendship demonstrated by all the participants and the sharing of climbing techniques were tremendous.

The other mayor event this year for me was the Trip to the FDR State Park in Georgia to meet 53 lucky climbers that managed to make it to this beautifull park. It was a tremendous success in all the mayor categories. Easy to reach, great location, large variety of trees for all tastes and levels of experience and the Organizanition by the Rogues from TCC and Park Ranger Jody Rice was a great host.

I think this was a great year in personal level I completed my Advanced Communicator Designation by Toastmasters International. Now, It is time for everyone else to write down your memories of the events you enjoyed the most this Recreational Climbing Year. Post a _link_ to your photos for us to share your experiences and plans for the next year.

I am already looking forward and making plans for the main event in 2008 The Rendezvous Celebration Anniversary of TCI Foundation in Atlanta in Sept. 24-28, 2008 and returning to the FDR Park sometimes in November 18 thru 24 and during April 18-20 the Blue Ridge Mountains get together will take place again. Lots of adventures coming up next year!
