before 9/11, how we "trained".

[pointysticks]

i had a few buddies at work that hunted. we never hunted together (they had private land access)

but we would climb for exercise. we climbed tower cranes, and the oakland/SF bay bridge. we had keys to get past gates. best place to eat a sandwich is on top of a bridge tower. we are so high, birds dont even bother us.

now with alert level orange, they collected all of our keys, and probably melted them. we only get to climb for bridge inspections, or fall protection training. we call in to homeland security to let them know we are there, if not, some gunship will machine gun us (i think).

here is a more recent pic. i got a summer intern up there. made his summer.
