Visiting Fruitboy and Keleb, Haleakala Volcano Summit
Reply
It was great to see fabulous Fruitboy, Keleb, and Crude (well-behaved puppy!) here on Maui, along with lovely Leaf, Deseret, John, Marcos, and Diana (the last two of whom we picked up hitching).
Haleakala is awesome… we braved freezing 50mph winds at the summit, so not much hiking!
Day 2: Visiting Ranger Sierra at Pinnacles National Park
Day 1: Visiting Ranger Sierra at Pinnacles National Park
I had a great visit with ranger Sierra at Pinnacles National Park, the newest national park in the U.S. I hiked for two days, seven miles the first day by myself and seven miles the second day with Sierra. I thought I spied the endangered California condor, but it turned out it was just some turkey vultures.
Fifteenth Annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Queer Longhair Party
The fifteenth annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Eve Queer Longhair Party was lots of fun. Thanks especially to Guy for setup help, Scott and Mike for lighting, Scott for bringing and handing out the hairy name badges, and everyone who brought refreshments or helped out in one way or another. Bill and Robert, who couldn’t attend due to having a baby two days before the party, made special appearances at the party by video call, as did Andrew from Colorado. The party went smoothly this year with lots of visitors from near and far and lots of good times and new and renewed friendships and connections.

Thanks to Christoph for the photos ze took at the party:
Fourteenth Annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Queer Longhair Party
The fourteenth annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Eve Queer Longhair Party was a grand success, despite mistakenly being identified as the thirteenth annual, which was last year. Thanks especially to Fruitboy, Keleb, Scott, and Mike for setup help, to Scott for bringing and handing out the hairy name badges, to Matt and Scott for some of the photographs below, and to everyone who helped out in one way or another. The party went especially smoothly this year with lots of good times and new and renewed friendships and connections.
Photos from Seattle to San Francisco Trip
Here are some photos from my January 2012 trip to Seattle to visit family and to drive with Doug and his friend Graham back to San Francisco. We stopped in Portland to visit Cobb, Patrick, and David along the way.

Thirteenth Annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Queer Longhair Party
Despite host Stardust having the flu, the thirteenth annual San Francisco Folsom Fair Eve Queer Longhair Party was a grand success. Thanks especially to Fruitboy, Scott, Guy, and Mike for setup help, to Scott for bringing the hairy name badges, to Sierra for cleanup help, and to everyone who helped out in one way or another. The camaraderie from you folks makes it worthwhile to host this party year after year.
Family Visit in Seattle
The visit to family in Seattle went well. I saw my brother and sister and their families, as well as my father and a woman named Linda he is dating, plus my mother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, she is a bit worse off than my last visit. She appears more frail and uses a walker to get around. I arranged my visit to coincide with the visit of my first boyfriend Douglas’ visit, since he was coming for his brother’s wedding. By a strange coincidence, my sister and brother know the bride, so I ended up babysitting my niece, three nephews, and the son of a family friend who also knows the bride during the festivities. The next day, Douglas and I took my mother out for dinner at an Italian restaurant in Edmonds and had a wonderful time.
Here are the pictures to prove it. 😉 Thanks to Douglas for the pictures at the restaurant taken on his camera, one of them snapped by the helpful waiter.
