I visited the Vedauwoo, Wyoming climbing area just over 25 years after my rock climbing accident there.

I fell about 30 feet on July 3, 1989, leading to an emergency room visit, 3 days in the hospital, and 9 weeks of knees-to-toes casts.

On September 2, 2024. I went back for a visit, as a tourist. I haven’t been rock climbing since early 1990.

About May 30, 2024, I was driving on I-25, southbound, south of Loveland. I passed by a flatbed truck with a yellow, plastic dump truck strapped to the flatbed.

I’ve found graffiti evidence of “Sardine”, a denizen of downtown Denver, probably homeless.
