We caught Scott’s REI presentation on his PCT yo-yo. It was excellent! One feature that no one else has is photos of the same scene with two seasons’ views. His High Sierra May shots with mind boggling snow travel was compared to his return tip in the fall with gorgeous aspen color. The yo-yo was an awesome accomplishment made even more so by the number of tries Scott made (and failed due to winter storms) before he finally squeezed in the final miles before winter set in. My hat is off to Scott! If you are in the Bay Area you can see Scott at Berkeley, San Carlos or Saratoga REIs in Feb.

Thanks for passing this along! I’m hoping to catch his presentation at the Berkeley store later this month.

I have to agree with GottaWalk. I attended the presentation in San Carlos last night. Great talk and the slide show was fantastic. Scott is a humble, unassuming individual and it was a great pleasure to finally meet him. I do hope our paths cross on the PCT this year as he is planning another YoYo in 2006. The comparative pictures were fantastic between the different years as well as seeing what a difference several months make.
