I can't believe somebody doesn't know somebody who climbed at NJC on Saturday March 25th, who is missing an expensive wheel for his mt bike and a backpack with climbing shoes and a helmet.

Thanks for the helpful tip boardline22. I know " how crazy it sounds", but my busy climbing schedule, doesn't allow me to post more than a couple days a week. " I know, crazy." I could always climb less and post more... but I still wouldn't know how to answer important questions like ham sammi or turkey. Additionally, I know my silly attempt to return found gear will take up precious space on the front page, that could be better used answering important questions like "Which shoes should I buy?". So please, bare with me while I bump this thread several times today. I really do want to return this gear. Maybe some of you guys that don't live in Ill and climb at NJC could help out by asking around or bumping this thread.
Thanks jack


I mean bump!

I know boardliner.... but it the way I have to do it. HAHA!!!1

So I don't waste all of your time clicking on this bump, I'll tell you a little know, stupid story about NJC.

It was about 8 years ago, I had been bolting at NJC for a few years, we had maybe 100+ routes. It was a nice spring day and there were quite a few climbers. I had just returned to the main area after bolting something in the next canyon over. Several friends informed me that some old guy(climber) was looking for me and he didn't look happy. I thought, "Christ, what did I do this time? Well I better get this over with" I just started to look for the guy, when this crusty old trad looking dude walks up. "Are you Jack?" he gruffly asks. He looks sort of mean and my guess was he was going to hassle me about sport climbing. Well, I better face the music. Yea, I reply. Then the dude walks right up on me. I figure he is going to punch me! He sticks his hand out and says "I want to shake your hand. I climbed out here back in the 80's and put in a few routes. We were looking for trad routes, didn't find much. Sure makes a good sport area though." We talked for a while and he drew me a topo to the routes he had established back in the 80's. Turns out his name was Bruce Binder, our very own "brutusofwyde". Nice guy, despite my fears at first.

I hope I told the story right Bruce.

Oh yea bump!

Maybe you should chill the hell out first of all. If someone is missing gear and belong to this website they world probably look in regional if they wanted it back. I know you are trying to do the right thing, which is all dandy, but one can look at it like your just trying to add to your post count or some crap like that.
