Two days of travelling through Pinnacles National Monument and Yosemite National Park, we've landed in Reno where Sarah delivered a great speech about RAP during the Women in Arboriculture Breakfast at the Atlantis Resort and Casino. Reno is playing host to the Western Chapter International Society of Arboriculture Annual Conference and Trade Show and we're honored that Red Ants Pants was asked to join in the good fun and meet lots of folks who are all about trees! And we've heard rave reviews, once again, about that wonderful gusseted crotch--especially for those who spend their days climbing trees in a harness! Great thanks to our friends for their support. We can't wait to see photos of the pants on these hardworking gals and guys.
Our stops in Pinnacles and Yosemite were nothing but grand. Sadly our condor biologist friend wasn't able to show us a live condor, but we were able to watch a young condor feed on a calf carcass from their remote surveillance cameras set up in the park. We did find a rather large evidence of bird scat on Ant Hill and Sarah even sent our biologist friend a photo of the scat in hopes that the young condor flew over the rig after his breakfast and left his mark, but we were told it wasn't condor on the side of Ant Hill.
We rang in Cinco de Mayo on the banks of the raging Merced River just outside of Yosemite. Our RAP koozies were a big hit with local raft guides. We cruised through the park in the early morning, taking in breath taking waterfalls and lots of impressive rock. If only we had a bit more time, but perhaps the next RAP tour will feature lots of hiking time in National Parks.
From Reno, we head just over the mountains to Truckee where we'll meet up with Maggie's brother and have our own personal guide of the mountain town as we spread the good word of Work Strong along with our koozies. We only have a few nights left on the road, head up to Idaho and then back to Montana. We can hear the Big Sky calling...
