Now flyin' solo...
Oh yeah, that gate wasn't locked, it just had a few chains and locks (not closed) layin' about such that on first glance I thought "damn, locked" without giving it another look. After hoofing it up to the lookout and back down I noticed the error of my ways on the way back... I felt like quite the idiot.OK - I thought - yellow gates are locked, green gates are closed and you just have to make sure you close them behind you... ?
Oh yeah, I'm comfy with that too. He introduces me as his uncle, I've known Terry since junior high, he and his wife have been together 20 years already, blah blah blah. I'm Uncle Tom for sure.Just weighing in with my two cents - yes - you can be an "uncle" without being related (I have countless aunts, uncles & cousins who aren't blood relations!)
I'm glad folks dig the pics and story...
