On August 7 - 9, a group of us met at Wabena Point and backpacked down Palisade Trail to the Royal Gorge - Russell's favorite wilderness paradise, his echoing canyon of canyons! It was an incredible adventure, so if you missed it, read all about it here!
And plan on coming along next time!http://gambolinman.blogspot.com/2009/08/royal-gorge-first-annual-russell-towle.html

A beautiful and moving description of the trip - thank you, it brought me along in sight, sound, and feeling. I am weeping for my brother tonight, but so very thankful for many who love and loved him so well.
Please let me know of the next trip, I would love to go. I just did a very short trip down part of Palisade just yesterday with my 2 kids. We didn't get too far, but it was a nice scouting adventure for my future hikes. Let me know of any other hikes that this group does.
I think while this group was doing this trip, I was off to Euchre Bar and Lover's Leap and trying to keep my daughter from touching poison oak.
I came across this site, the NFAR blog, Russel's site, and the North Fork of the American River Alliance. As a result, I started my adventures and explorations to this beautiful area as well. I am planning on supporting the NFARA and updating my adventures through my blog and website (www.JenningsPlanet.com) with maps, photos, etc. all as a result of the wonderful work and writings your brother did.
Thank you for the post and please keep me in the loop!
Sincerely,
Nathan Jennings
