There's a video of this somewhere. Ode to Joy is the tune, I think.

Here it is.

Looks like wearing that hat out did produce something.
Well, this thread.... Thanks Mike for starting it and WOW. I guess I was feeling a bit sentimental as I worked on my deck and read the incoming posts on Sunday. Damn lump in throat syndrome anyway.
I guess I'd like to add an apro picture where I am my own friend. David Knight joined me on our igloo trip last spring and took this picture:

Gotta love the ingenuity or the sheer glee of the people I've been with.
Woo Hoo!

Sure, Glenn! I'll PM you.

Ed, you're such a special guy... you definitely deserve your own thread! :smile1:

The boys were able to go up Chaos Canyon and also go knob hopping with Ed. Wonderful times.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise hike led by Ed to Zone Lake. Here are Ed and some of the rest of the crew waiting for a sunrise shot.

Thanks, Ed!

Ed is my sworn emeny, and I am his. We have come to a "gentleman's agreement" when other other Forums members are around us, because of the possibility of collateral damage.

I have had the distinct pleasure of hiking 3 times with Ed and "Iglooing" twice with him. These times have always been great adventures, including great stories and great information. I am an "off trail" kind of person, so hiking with Ed is very fun for me. He has been generous enough to lead my family on a hike and my brother. Good times and a good friend :yup:

Ed is a great inspiration to me. Ken and I first met him when he was building an igloo and the Midwest Mountineering Show in Minneapolis. We've been privileged to share time with him at forum GTGs. He's my hero!

Ed, for a loner of a mountain man, you sure do spend a lot of time with a lot of people!

Been on a couple treks with Ed, and both are among the funnest days I've spent in the mountains:
