Pshaw, I have a big Tri Cam, who needs a pipe.
Some friends of mine did find a grow op in the Skagit valley while paragliding in 1992 and collected several pounds of skunk weed each.
dru, are you sure that wasn't in yosemite in 1975?
Here is the thread with the recent News Story

The highest fecal coliform count I have ever recorded when testing water quality was 16,000 and that was from a stream, not a lake.
Lakes tend to have a higher water quality because they are big enough to dilute the streams that flow into them.
i am interested in the rationale behind this one. what do you think happens in a lake or pond that doesn't in a stream? is there some sort of magic dam that stops the pathogens from getting out of the lake into the stream
There are 4-star limestone sport routes in the Chilliwack Valley but the cave isn't bolted yet. There are 6 routes from 11a to 12b plus whatever got done this summer.
Porcupines do that. But, you know, there are porkypines in the Coast Mts and the Rockies too but it's only in the Bugs that people chickenwire up their cars.
Sasquatch, or sasquatches, are both accepted as the plural of sasquatch. You can look it up in Sasquatch, The American Ape by John Green (the definitive reference work).
Also there was a marijuana drop plane that dropped its bales recently (october?) while being chased by the US Border Patrol planes. The bales are scattered over "inaccessible mountainous terrain" between Chilliwack and the Okanagan. These bales have not been recovered.
There are definitely wolverines living the border area near Chilliwack. I worked with biologists that monitored them. They would cross the border on occasion.
None of the Scottish climbers I've known have ever sharpened tools. "It just makes them wear out faster." You need sharp picks to climb ice but does it really make a difference for mixed climbing? Maybe for the first swing.

This says it maxed out at 12C. And is going down to -1C tonight.
All this melt will get the groundwater flowing and make for thick ice
