    Great video John!! Glad you got to experience the Staircase, it’s one of the most fun climbs and coolest vistas in the Gorge! Wish Nick and I could have made it, keep us in mind for next time! Gonna get in the studio to finish “Waitin’ on a Stringer” 🤣🎸

    Man that was awesome video. That was so cool you guys get together and hang out. I saw you put your feet in 4 wheel drive and climbed up those rocks with your gear on your back that was awesome. Things like that make it a good memory in the book. Merry Christmas to you and your family man and if you travel anywhere please be safe.

    You made it up the stair case, wow, knew you would though. You must have a big hike coming. It's seems like your training for one. Each one gets a little tougher. It's good to see everyone back out again!
