During CRAGCATION’s seminal week, we pushed the boundaries of our stomachs and accomplished great gluttonous feats at CRAGCATION WORLD HQ (Will’s parent’s house). Last night, for instance, I ate two bowls of Pasta Bolognese with sides of garlic bread and Caesar salad, drank one beer, had three glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon, ate five or six caprese tomatoes, three or four oranges (sliced soccer style), and one very large, very frosted corner slice of birthday cake.

Last week the Gang headed a couple clicks north of CRAGCATION World HQ to Poudre Canyon, CO. It was a great opportunity to check out a lesser-known, but quality MINI-CRAG before beginning our trip in earnest. We also wanted to ensure we still remember how to car camp (we do & living outside is superlative), we don’t want to murder one another (TBD), and verify that we still enjoy sport climbing (yes, it is the best).

In case you were curious. Will & John A.C. turned 26 & 27, respectively. We’re sleeping 10-12 hours per night, not taking much of anything seriously, and eating/drinking A LOT. Favorite ticks and photos from the Poudre include:

• Homeschool Ballerina .11c
• Snakes on a Train .12a
• Velvet Brown .10c
• O.D.K. .12a
• Tailspin .12b
