Happy Birthday (Month) To Muscle Gal Sarah (Part 2)

 ... also ain't afraid to pick up a wrench - and ya' can send her out to the fastener bin to snatch-up an M5x5mm set screw or a 1/4" roll pin and such...

Happy Birthday (Month) to Muscle Gal Sarah

Actually later in the month, but we'll do this now as we never remember the exact date. Dug a collection of images out of the archives of this exemplary gal. Formatted in no specific chronology:

Little muscle gal...

... big muscle gal

Down by the river 'Penny Rock' boulders

Lower Yough back in the day. Looks like she scooped up a few lost paddles in that lower photo. We once had a haul of close to a hundred of those things, accumulated over the years. Still have many stashed in the corners of the basement. The 'Texas Eastern' (old 'Big Inch') pipeline crossing just below the 'Bruner Run' takeout was always a regular collection point for stray paddles

Inclement day crossing the top of the Chestnut Ridge river gap. A photogenic "big sky" locale along the Lower Yough

The Ridge and "dark side" bouldering

A pretty cool fern gully

She picked up surfing open canoes in one quick afternoon session - just needed a section of swift upriver

A bit of "way back in the day" climbing

End of part 1 of 2. We always find the 'Blogger' linear scrolling format a bit annoying. Akin to early analog tape video editing. Some sort of digital index of thumbnails/icons or table of content would probably be an improvement. Who knows, a function as such may exist - we probably just don't know how to use it.
