This is a picture of me and my Scouting friends on the peak of the Middle Teton. I was 15 years old in this picture. I am 3rd from left. The group is of the waterfront staff. I taught canoeing, kayaking, rowing, sailing, swimming, and lifesaving that summer. I also guided a Scout troop into Alaska Basin and over Hurricane pass. Then, we crossed the Tetons, west to east, through Cascade Canyon, just north of the Grand Teton. It is one of the most spectacular hikes I have ever been on.

David,
You are right about Teton (and Yellowstone for that matter) being beautiful country and the first picture is a great shot. I wish I could see your other shots but do not have a facebook account so they are off limits. Your goal of climbing Middle Teton with your sons is a great thing and something all of you will cherish the rest of your life. Thanks for reminding us of whats important in life.
Jay

It would probably be easier for me to send you a RHD dash. We have a couple of them here.

Sorry I haven't posted more parts in the past couple of days. I have spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Senator Hatch and doing interviews on the upcoming vote on the temporarily extending the tax cuts and extending unemployment (and other Tea Party related items). The more I hear about the bill, the more pork people find. It looks like another congressional luau. I don't think either side gets it.

Now, this is not an invitation to any political debate. Just letting you know there really are good reasons why I have been away. Tomorrow should be another great day of attic finds on the Kirkham Cobra Parts Roadshow.

Same price.

I have no idea what it would cost to ship. Probably and arm and a leg...and another arm. I'll let you know tomorrow.

I haven't looked through all the posts yet. We were packing up things (and talking to senators all day.)

We can ship small parts relatively cheaply with the US Postal service. A part like a dash, however, is so big it may be a bit expensive to ship.

I certainly hope you have a quiet night too. I'll check into the shipping costs for you tomorrow. We'll figure something out to get you on the road.
