This past June, Bison, DavePA and myself accompanied Ballpark Frank on his "last" Yellowstone hike. Certainly not the last, but the last as a resident of the region. He and Mrs Ballpark are now in Alaska!! After many miles together, I noted these two hiking buddies having their last snack together on the shores of Shoshone Lake. It was an incredibly windy day as you can see.

So, how about a toast, or maybe a ROAST, to Ballpark?

What photos and memories can you share?
When was your first BP hike? What was your favorite?

("Mostly flat, some uphill" may come up more than once!)

I have some favorites, but since many of you were along on the treks, I will let you share first.

Thanks for many miles BP...
