I guess two in 45 years isn't bad.
I spent about 2 hours with this dude. Early on some of the things he said about himself sounded like b.s. but a lot of people do some of that. As we climbed the canyon it got weirder and weirder. He also told me his wife left him and he didn't have anyone to ride with. After I left him I started thinking about it and he was a little scary.

lol @ 3x3x9
