Scurv E. Dawg did all of the cooking for the summer
and the challenge. Notice the new roof ornament, a muffler, curtsey
of the South Colony road.

Josephine spent most of the summer being towed or repaired
by Perro Negro. Here some rough and tumble gold miners backed
Josephine down the road up to Antero.

While scouting out a possible short cut on Eolus's Southeast Face
at the end of July, Cave Dog's left big toe was crushed by a two foot
long falling boulder. He could not walk on it for nearly a week
and was concerned it might prevent his challenging the record. Fortunately,
it turned out to not be broken; however, the toe would temporarily go
numb during subsequent climbs. Cave Dog lost all feeling in the toe
during the challenge and for another three and half months.
