21:44 Europe time 12:44 California time
Dusty: They gave Van Gogh 2 dedicated rooms, which was a big mistake cause the rooms are so packed you can barely walk through then, I think redesigned since last here in 2015
Dusty: Louvre has the right idea, the mona lisa is in a huge room no other really noteworthy art...

Dusty: Louvre, Orsay, Rodin (outside only for 15m), and Les Invilades (Rob only, Kathy and I sat at the cafe), then a bit of rain
Dusty:  My feet and body are toast, dragged badly today

21:54 Europe time 12:54 California time
Dusty: I thought i saw some new Van Gogh and Renior today, but checking my 2015 trip report, I've seen all these before...

Kent: Awesome Dusty!  After we saw that Renoir exhibit in martigny I have a new appreciation

22:34 Europe time 13:34 California time
Dusty: The way he painted the lighting is magical...

22:36 Europe time 13:36 California time
Kent: It is
Kent:  I remember those rooms glowing with energy
Kent:  Great art...

Meanwhite, in SLC,



22:32 Europe time 14:32 California time

19:20 Europe time 10:20 California time
Kent: I'm packing to go for an attempt on Mt Owen in the Tetons
Kent:  Looks like a good weather anyway, and I love the drive
Kent:  :)  leaving tomorrow
Kent:  Climbing day after

19:22 Europe time 10:22 California time
Ray: Have fun and take lots of pix (and bring the camera back.) Is that little dog alive or stuffed?

20:01 Europe time 11:01 California time
Kent: She alive :)

20:04 Europe time 11:04 California time
Ray: Super-cute
Ray: Koven or East Ridge?
Ray: That thing looks like a blast
Ray: What a peak.

20:40 Europe time 11:40 California time
Kent: Koven
Kent:  I've attempted I've reached the top of Koven 2x once in my failed attempt of tewwinot-Owen-grand traverse
Kent:  (That was bold) I bailed at Koven couloir because going on to top of Owen would have definitely benighted me
Kent:  I bailed at last place possible before for epic, but did climb up and over Teewintot which was incredible
Kent:  2007 I think
Kent:  Then in 2009 or 10 I drove up to meet Rita and her mom in Jackson, but first I would try to climb Owen
Kent:  I once again climbed to top of Koven (early season so "safer" in snow) but when I got to top of Koven col (lowest point between Teewinot and Owen) I decided it didn't feel right
Kent:  The snow was soft and heavy
Kent:  So I bailed again at the same spot
Kent:  It's a rough approach to even get to Koven, but I've been so close twice before and that was before i had much experience in snow
Kent:  The Koven may be too loose for me to climb in late season, but if I can get up it to the col again, I think I'll have a good shot
Kent:   It's harder than the grand for energy output anyway
Kent:  I'm looking forward to seeing

21:19 Europe time 12:19 California time
Ray: Do you expect other people to be up there?

22:30 Europe time 13:30 California time
Kent: I've never seen anyone on that route before
Kent:  I think things are really busy on the Tetons now though so probably will see a few
Kent:  The Koven is really loose this time of year, which sucks if there are people
Kent:  I climbed Teewinot with Andrew a couple years ago, and only saw one group, whom we passed because they didn't know the route like I did
Kent:  We were headed down when we saw them last
Kent:  :)

22:52 Europe time 13:52 California time
Ray: "Peillex said, adding that those who make the climb now do so "with death in their backpack." - Funny quote
Ray: I wish they would do this at Camelback in the heat instead of closing the trails..
Ray: https://www.cnn.com/travel/amp/mont-blanc-rescue-deposit/index.html

22:54 Europe time 13:54 California time
Dusty: They close the trails on Camelback, in the land of the bootstrappers, because it gets too warm?  What a nanny state Arizona has become :)
