4c. Will labor be comprised of Merit Shops? 5b is the most likely. Suppliers would also be very reticent to donate such items as wire rope with the applicable cert's Also: Will Special Inspections be required? It is nigh to impossible to expect to receive any type of deal on these services Will an architect's services also be required?

From the USGS: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1998/ofr-98-239/ofr-98-239.html "The Bainbridge Island landslide at Rolling Bay Walk is about three houses north of one that was pushed off its foundation on April 23, 1996 (#20, plate1.html; fig. 2). The landslide scar, deposits, and overturned house were still intact at the time of our observations, except for the disturbance caused by recovery operations. The scar of the slide was about 15 m wide, 15-20 m high, and averages 1 m deep. News reports indicated that the owner had built a retaining wall of unknown quality and design (Maier, 1997; Crist, 1997). Newspapers and a local resident indicated that the landslide happened shortly before 8:00 a.m., Sunday, January 19, 1997 (Maier 1997). A neighbor stated that the landslide lasted only a few seconds (Bjorhus and Tu, 1997). The row of houses appear to be constructed in a cut at the base of a steep bluff that rises from a narrow beach area. We observed scars of many old landslides on the bluff to the north of the houses. About five recent slides from 1996 and 1997 storms were visible along undeveloped bluffs not far north of the houses. More slides occurred at Rolling Bay Walk on March 18 and 19, 1997; these slides damaged two houses and pushed another house onto the beach (Wallace, 1997). The Oregonian: http://geography.uoregon.edu/mcdowell/geog322/newspaper_stories/seattle_area_mudslide_kills_family.htm The Seattle Times: http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970120&slug=2519698 "The force of the slide flattened recently built retaining walls on the slope, officials said, pushing the house off its foundation and across a concrete walkway along the shore called Rolling Bay Walk. The two bottom floors of the house were buried in mud 8-feet deep in spots. Only the unfinished top floor of the house, which toppled on its side into the water, was visible." My humble apologies. It is just sometimes people make claims which are based on things they heard, which are exagerated. You are correct about the fatal mass wastage event. Again, I apologize BTW, please explain the apple thing

I call bullshit on this one. Unless DPS has a source, I think this is a grossly exaggerated urban myth. It is probably a synthesis of a real life structural failure during a suburban mass wasting event, and the avalanche deaths of the entire Eggers family at their Yodelin cabin in 1970

I'll cut to the chase, that's sub-retard level idiocy

Matt, After visiting www.treehouses.com , I suggest that you either hire a PE or SE to design your bridge, or devise another means of access. You are incapable of designing this structure yourself. In 2008, a suspension bridge at the Treehouse Hotel failed, pitching a family from Kirkland off and to the ground. Because the owner is a scum sucking asshole who designed the bridge himself, has no permits or building inspections, Josephine County ended up party to the suit because they allowed continued use of these non-inspected structures. So now the tax payers need to pony up $1.2 million. I don't know what fiduciary responsibility Mr Treehouse was held to. But now Josephine County is shutting him down, and he is aghast at the county for doing so. Which is reasonable, because his fuck ups have only cost the county $1.2 million, he should be allowed to continue until he costs them another $1.2 M. This shows how serious engineering and construction mistakes can be. And if this family had been 80' in the air, instead of at a more modest height, they would all be dead

I would think that the engineering challenges and legal responsibilities of building a bridge, suspension or otherwise, 100' long and 80' high for use by humans requires the assistance of a professional. I don't believe the OP would suggest that individuals get the answers to difficult legal questions with severe ramifications off a board like CC. Likewise, failure of this bridge would have huge consequences. There are big differences between building a ropes course and a suspension bridge. Ropes courses are of short duration, and generally offer a belay or other secondary safety device. The scale of this project is what makes everything so daunting

I've had severe and probably life threatening AMS, and I could see how it could manifest itself as shock, or appear to be shock

The Old Index Tavern

I would guess that the Ranger in the field felt that individuals who feign ignorance at the borders of NCNP and who impatiently leave the Ranger Station because they don't like waiting in line, are not worthy of any favors by officialdom. That is totally correct. The office staff should have excused themselves from a protracted conversation with gapers, and the OP should have butted into the conversation The only difficulty I have ever had with NCNP staff was when they would not issue me a permit for Bear Mt from Sedro ( or possibly Marblemount), and made us drive all the way to Glacier. When they realized we were going to approach through the Chilliwack Valley, and BC, they were apologetic over the misunderstanding and stated that if they had understood we were going to enter from Canada, they would have issued a permit over the phone from Sedro

Grizzlies must climb slow

From the comments section of KOIN, regarding this rescue

Pretty doubtful that the bolt in question is a FA bolt. Did City Park even have a second pitch, or is that really Godzilla, FA Harder and Heller. Hopefully Still Crankin' reads this, and lets us know

Say what you may, and go ahead and call Dane passive aggressive. The fact is, you made a claim with out even a modicum of research, and you were called you on it. The fact that you used the modifiers "may" and "I think" does not excuse your laziness, stupidity or self adoration

I noticed that the parking enforcement at Mt Si was being done by a DFW Wildlife Agent. I'm sure that DFW will start to tire of enforcement and the time parking enforcement takes away form their primary mandates. I do believe that DNR has specific LEO's who responsibilty differs from DFW, but these officers are few and far between, and also have other enforcement resonsibilities.

Goddamnit! Don't say that out loud, their listening! Ten dollars a car to park at Mount Si. And a dollar a head ( children under two free) to hike up Mount Si. Hiking down is of course, free. Until after the elections

Are you off your meds too? I was making a little joke about you writing "leased" instead of "leashed", and you fly off the handle. Both you and DPS were once very level headed, and now you're both nuts. I have made absolutely no comment pro or con regarding the dog being "leashed" or "unleashed", and I am certainly not happy about poor Sasha. I am just happy she is safe and relatively sound. Dogs are very resilient, she may limp a little, but she will be around to enjoy life a lot longer. And the humanitarian efforts of OMR is a heart warming story Again, sorry I made a little joke, sorry you forgot your lithium, and I am sorry about any other personality defects you have the cause you to lash out at little jokes about misspelled words on the internet. I hope you and DPS find the inner peace you so clearly lack

I was not aware that one could lease a dog. I would prefer outright title

The parks are not "our" parks, they truly are in fact our parks. And we feel entitled to them, because we own them, lock, stock and barrel. I don't "feel entitled" to walk in my front yard. There is no entitlement involved. It's ownership

Dude, get a grip, you're melting down all over the internet. Seriously, you used to be one of the most level headed people here. Now you're going all Ascensionist

I talked to the owner. Sasha has a broken ankle, or has completely torn up all the cartridges in her ankle. She has seen a vet, but I got confused over what the vets diagnosis was, and the initial assessment at the accident site. She probably will need an operation to fuse the area. But it is all very much preferred to any alternatives which could have happened

She wouldn't touch you, so you'll just have to be happy jacking off in the shower thinking about hippy chicks.

That is wonderful. Thank you OMR! Any pictures?

This family has finally been put in touch with Olympic Mountain Rescue. I hope OMR is able to sortie out a party. Best wishes And a sad shaking of the head for the employees of the USFS who told this distraught family that Mountain Rescue only participates in human rescues. Many rescue groups, including SMR, have a long record of helping all living creatures

Right fucking on! Me and Roy are headed there tomorrow. Those Canis lupus lupus better watch out, cause my little canis lupus familariis wil kick their ass

Don't forget your friend I personally doubt that Mr Radon goes to all this trouble of hiding his VIN and surreptitiously changing plates back and fourth every time he enters a parking lot. Just last weekend, parked in the Mt Si parking lot, was a WSDFW truck which was very difficult to spot as a LEO vehicle. I'm sure he would like to give Mr Radon a little hard time, especially when all these tickets come up on the computer. Fact is, anyone who would risk cuffs, jail time and a ride with a policeman to fight this is foolish, or blowing smoke up our ass to sound all tough. I just don't buy it
