If you’re looking to climb Half Dome via the cable route this fall, you’ve got two more weeks to do it.  Loyd Schutte, author of Yosemite Blog, one of my favorite websites, reports the cables are being taken down on October 15th, weather permitting.  (If you love Yosemite, subscribe to the free Yosemite Blog.  It’s a daily pleasure.)  Also, check out our two videos: Hiking Yosemite’s Half Dome about Doug’s overnight climb, and How to Climb Half Dome with expert and author, Rick Deutsch.

Our good friend and teriffic photographer, Brian Cardello, sent along a tip about a Road Trip exhibit running at the San Jose Museum of Art until January 25, 2009.  He said Charlie McCollom’s article in the San Jose Mercury News made him think of us.  The exhibit looks plenty interesting, especially for those who love the open road.  Check out the photo below.  Don’t you wonder what the hell that girl is thinking?  My sister used to put her arms inside her shirt like that.  The museum website has videos about the art and artists.  Anyone out there seen the exhibit yet?  Tell us what you think.  Guess there’s a road trip to San Jose in my immediate future.  Thanks, Brian and Charlie.
